Miss last week's live BackupAssist webinar? Fear not as we're now uploading recordings of all public webinars to our YouTube channel where you're free to view them at your leisure. In this last session, technical...
If you've ever needed to recreate your Outlook profile, or have migrated to a new PC, you may have noticed you'll lose your auto-complete information that Outlook keeps when you send a message to a recipient email address.
First launched back in 2008, SecurityGateway is the brainchild of Texas-based Alt-N technologies, developer of the popular alternative to Microsoft Exchange, MDaemon Messaging Server.
When Alt-N realised that even users of Exchange were buying MDaemon to use as a pre-filter because of how well the spam and virus protection performed, it wasn't long before they took the decision to release a standalone, purpose-built product....enter SecurityGateway.
As you may have picked up in our recent post, we ran a 40 minute webinar last week via YouTube providing an overview of the benefits and a look around the interface...
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. 
As somebody in a non-technical role who responds better to a more visual style of learning, I'm often asking our resident software gurus to spell things out for me in the necessary 'dumbed down' fashion on the office whiteboard.
It saves their sanity, a little of my ego and ultimately means that I'm able (eventually) to grasp those more technical of concepts.
Cloud, private-cloud, multi-tennant, hosted, SaaS, service provider, xSP - the myriad of terminology used to describe products such as MailStore Service Provider Edition are practically endless it seems.
This probably explains why lots of our partner program members, all typically IT support companies servicing SMB's, have been asking for further clarification around exactly what this new version of MailStore actually is and how it works before they've been able to decide whether it's right for them.
For this reason we're now running a small number of free 30 minute(ish) webinar sessions which will answer the questions - "What is it?" and "Is it for me?". Essentially it is a high level overview and then time for a group Q & A.
In most deployments of MailStore we recommend your journalling job is configured to archive a selection of journalled or 'copied' emails for all your users.
This type of job is designed to interrogate each message that it archives and look for headers that it can match to decide which user's archive it should store the message under.
In a perfect installation where all of your MailStore users have been setup correctly, every journalled message should find the correct corresponding users archive. But it is common to overlook some addresses and you may find email appearing in the general 'Unknown e-mail archive' instead.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are the the organisation responsible for regulation and protection of all aspects of the financial services industry in the UK. If you're a company operating in this sector, their somewhat 'comprehensive' guidelines aren't ones you can afford to ignore.
The FCA Handbook covers a wide range of provisions, however in this post I'm going to focus on those that apply to email storage and archiving only - hopefully saving you a little legwork when it comes to checking whether you currently comply.
This is a follow-up to the more general post we published last year addressing the legislation and compliance requirements that apply to UK businesses in relation to email storage.
