Big price changes, adjustments to the licencing model and a new antivirus engine. SecurityGateway v3.0 looks fantastic and last week I ran a live 20 minute webinar update for the partner...
You've probably picked up in the IT press that the developers of TrueCrypt, currently integrated within BackupAssist, are no longer actively developing the software.
A recent independent audit published by iSEC has not identified any security flaws in TrueCrypt, however at some point in the future, it's likely vulnerabilities may creep into it.
DISCLAIMER: We're not suggesting you need to switch away immediately and ultimately fully expect to see a new encryption application integrated into BackupAssist.
However....I like to tinker...
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.
