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.

Over the last few months we have had an increasing number of support calls that relate to failing SMTP connections over Internet connections. This can happen on a range of network connections, whether it's mobile devices on 3G or home users trying to access their MDaemon mail server. Even businesses can find that they can no longer create outbound SMTP sessions on port 25 on their office broadband connections.

If you've used Achab's Archive Server (ASM) software in the past and upgraded to MailStore, it's highly likely you'll be wanting to bring across that historic archived data to the new platform. There are two ways you can go about importing an external ASM archive to MailStore - either directly as files, or, via your MDaemon email server. One of the limitations of importing directly into MailStore is that mail can't be sorted on a per-user basis and instead the archive will have to reside under a single MailStore user account which you delegate access to via MailStore's permissions system. It's for this reason that we tend to recommend the second option and utilise the MDaemon server as an intermediary for MailStore to collect the old archive data from.

As well as letting you know whether or not the MDaemon server is running, the MDaemon envelope icon in the system tray will also change colour depending on the current server status. Where is the envelope icon? When MDaemon is running as a system service it will show a status icon in the system tray. Unfortunately the latest Microsoft Operating systems restrict running  services from interacting with the desktop automatically. Within Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 you will only see the MDaemon system tray icon after you have launched the MDaemon configuration session from the start menu at least once as the logged in user. You can then close the MDaemon configuration session and the icon will remain.
