Alt-N have just released an update for MDaemon Messaging Server. It only consists of a couple of minor fixes but they are important ones so we highly recommend you download and install this new version A.S.A.P.
Neil and I were on the road again on Wednesday, this time to join the guys at AMITPRO in Birmingham to talk about MDaemon Messaging Server as a possible alternative to Exchange.
Just a quick note to let you know the latest update release of MDaemon went live today and is available on our Web site ready for download here.
Neil and I recently returned from sunny Chatham where we were kindly invited to come along and talk to attendees of the Kent SBS user group about MDaemon Messaging Server.
This is one of a number of regional groups across the UK which include Manchester, Reading Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Each consists of like-minded IT support companies and managed service providers wanting to keep their "toe-in" with market and product developments, discuss some of the challenges they face in the field, and perhaps most importantly, help keep the local Dominos in business.
Are you an MDaemon user with an old expired licence?
Would you benefit from better performance, two way synchronisation of any mobile device, a fast "desktop-like" Webmail client and more?
Upgrade to MDaemon Pro version 13.0 this month and we'll provide you with all of this, upgrade protection for another 12 months and free technical support, for 50% less than it would ordinarily cost!
If you're an existing business user you'd be crazy to miss out on this great saving and it's really simple to take advantage of...
If you're looking to build a new home for your MDaemon server software, there are a few factors to be considered when deciding on a specification.
I'm often asked by customers for some advice on which areas are best to invest in, so in this post I'll take a look at the main ones, which I hope will provide a good basis for building the right platform to meet your needs. 
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!
Just a quick note to let you know the latest major release of MDaemon went live right on schedule last night, so it's now available on our Web site ready for download here.
What's in it?
There's a short PDF walkthrough of the new features and enhancements available on our blog here, or you can view the official product update log here.
The guys in Support have been busy pulling together the documentation that'll help you find your way around the new features in the soon to be released version 13 of MDaemon.
Don't forget, you can find step by step guides and helpful articles across all of our products in the knowledge base area of our Web site for when they're needed. For now, please see below for a list of the new guides specific to MDaemon.
