Set up an out of office responder in MDaemon

Before you hang up your mouse for the Christmas break, it's a good idea to make sure that if anyone contacts you via email, they know whether you're available and if not, when you'll be back. If you use MDaemon Messaging Server, rather than all staff replicating the same out of office autoresponder, you can use a simple temporary account and content filter rule to create a global version for all staff.

Integrating previously archived emails from other third-party archiving solutions is not a new feature in MailStore but from version 8.1 it has been made much easier thanks to a new archiving profile job. This new profile can archive and sort emails collected from file sources and so it opens up a realm of possibilities and very much simplifies the process.

One of the particularly nice features in MDaemon is the ability to customise the flow of email through the use of its built in content filters. In the past we've mainly focused on using the content filter in different ways to automate tasks, change message content and redirect mail to other locations. In this article I'll give you an overview of how you can make use of the content filter and MDaemon's custom queues to intercept some or all outbound email, have a user check and authorise it manually, and then let it continue along its intended delivery path.

Up until quite recently I've always recommend that if you're an Android mobile user who needs access to your email, calendar and contacts, the best method was to use IMAP to synchronise your email and ActiveSync for the calendar and contacts. This two account approach works well but I've always been aware it could be simpler to set up. Thankfully, ActiveSync 'push' email was added to MDaemon in version 12, so you're now able to enjoy full synchronisation of both your email accounts, calendar and contacts with just a single ActiveSync account.

If you use our email server software, MDaemon Messaging Server, and you've ever called our support team with issues relating to being unable to send emails, you may have noticed that we often perform a spam blacklist check. To perform these checks we use just one of a range of useful tools over at the mxtoolbox.com website. We've been using this site for several years as in addition to the blacklist checking you can also do things like query a domain's Mail DNS and SPF records, check whether the SMTP port is answering and even obtain an explanation of message header information. An essential tool to add to your favorites if you are a mail administrator!
