New: SecurityGateway v3.0 – Spam and virus protection for Exchange, MDaemon and other email servers
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 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.
Following on from 
MDaemon provides support for all of the major mobile platforms via its integrated ActiveSync support, so it's nice and straight-forward to connect your device, whatever it might be, and have your email, calendar, contacts and other important data available on the move.
Until the recent release of iOS 7, there's never been the option available on the iPhone to synchronise notes, however we're pleased to let you know that it's here, and it couldn't be much easier to enable!
With the recent release of MDaemon 13.5 Alt-N have upgraded the built in ActiveSync server which now includes support for the latest ActiveSync protocol used by Outlook 2013. This update adds additional ActiveSync policy support but also it allows MDaemon to provide native ActiveSync support for Outlook 2013 as well as the built in Windows 8 Mail App. 
A couple of minor updates for you this morning - there are new versions available of both 
Yes, the latest iteration of MDaemon Messaging Server is upon us! This most recent version of the popular Microsoft Exchange alternative for small businesses is only a point release - you could easily mistake it for a major update given the size of the release notes.
With a long list of features to highlight for both admins and end users I'll waste no further time and get straight on with what I think you might find most interesting...
The release of BackupAssist v7.1 is only a few days away now so I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce one of the great new features, the 'Exchange Granular Restore Console'.
