MDaemon – minor but important update now live (v14.0.2)
Morning folks, just a quick one to let you know Alt-N Technologies have just released an update for MDaemon Messaging Server and it includes some highly recommended security updates among other things.
Those other things...
In 14.0.2 you'll find a raft of tweaks and improvements along with a couple of minor branding changes. The more observant of you may notice that WebAdmin is now referred to as "MDaemon Remote Administration" and ComAgent is now the "WorldClient Instant Messenger". You'll also find some usability tweaks in Worldclient such as the ability to nickname favourite folders.

MDaemon
Are you an MDaemon user and still wasting time dealing with spam email?
Now is a great time to take SecurityPlus for a test drive as Alt-N Technologies are offering 20% off all NEW licences until the end of June 2014 (discount applied automatically during checkout).
MDaemon 14 was released earlier this week and with it, an updated webmail client with a snazzy new look and feel.
Outlook has a tendency to hog large chunks of memory and this, coupled with the cost of the licencing means that there's an emerging market of users like myself who are looking for an alternative.
call time on Small Business Server has created a noticeable boost in demand for 'on-premise' email server software that will play nicely with Server 2012.
Small businesses unwilling or unable to follow the Microsoft route of moving everything to the cloud have been left looking for alternative suitors to Exchange that can offer the same experience for their Outlook, Web and mobile device users.
It's a bit of a niche technical one this but as I've had several reports of it recently I wanted to share this one with you in case it helps.
If you're an MDaemon customer you may have started to see the following errors in the SMTP (Out) logs when trying to send email to some specific external hosts...
“SSL negotiation failed*,*error code 0x80090326”
What this boils down to is an issue where MDaemon and the remote SMTP server cannot find a common set of SSL ciphers that they both have available to use.
I recently found myself working on a project where I needed to calculate how much bandwidth the average MDaemon server uses - I'm hoping if you're an MDaemon user, you'll be able to help me out here.
Every server's usage is different of course - bandwidth will vary depending upon the number of users and the type and the number of emails, but I knew if I could arrive at an average across a handful of customer sites I'd be able to get close enough for my needs.
Out of the box MDaemon has some very detailed logging and real-time statistics built into the application.
In this post I'll show you how to learn more about what a server's doing using the free Performance Monitor feature in Windows.
I recently ran a survey among our partner program members (all IT support companies) to find out which, if any, of the various social channels they use 'frequently', to help us understand how best to keep in touch.
Of the 324 respondents the results were as follows:-
