How To Set Up Email Reporting In MailStore Server
Last week we let you know about the release of MailStore v10.1, the centrepiece of which was a simple but useful feature we've been asked for quite a bit - scheduled email reporting.
You may be thinking, MailStore is German so there won't be any issues to report on!? Well, not everything about your email is under MailStore's control, so as an administrator, it's still nice to see confirmation that your 'Enten in einer Reihe' occasionally.
In this blog post, I'll show you how to enable the delightful HTML report email, and let you know how to get the most from it.
These days we all expect our email to work flawlessly when we're outside of the office, regardless of how we're connected. Occasionally though, a change of connection is all it takes to cause issues.
In this post I take a quick look at why, if you connect to your own mail server using an SMTP connection (not applicable to ActiveSync users) from your mobile device, laptop or even desktop machine, you might experience problems with sending email. Oh, and what you can do about it of course!
Today's nugget of MDaemon wisdom comes from conversations I've had with a small number of customers reporting they're unable to send outbound email to specific recipients.
Upon closer inspection of the error in the SMTP (OUT) log, there's a message reading "SSL negotiation failed".
Out of the box MDaemon has some very detailed logging and real-time statistics built into the application.
In this post I'll show you how to learn more about what a server's doing using the free Performance Monitor feature in Windows.
In the last few weeks we have started seeing an increase in support requests relating to email delivery problems that are outside of the control of the MDaemon server. Specifically this happens when companies are relying on an ISP mail platform to provide POP3 mailboxes and 
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. 
One of the more common customers support calls i get relates to MDaemon suddenly sending vast amounts of spam email. This floods the outbound Internet connection and everything crawls to a halt.
Secondary to this the server's public IP address can get listed on various external SMTP blacklists which the customer then has to request removal from.
