MDaemon is een mailserver voor het Windows-platform met ingebouwde antivirus en antispam mogelijkheden, daarnaast is er ondersteuning aanwezig voor plug-ins waarmee beheer op afstand, web toegang en speciale monitoring functies mogelijk worden. Sinds kort is versie 8.0.0 beschikbaar waarin onder andere ondersteuning voor de aankomende "Outlook Connector" wordt toegevoegd. Hiermee wordt het mogelijk om Outlook gebruik te laten maken van de Groupware functies van MDaemon. De volledige release notes zijn te groot om hier te plaatsen maar de meegeleverde highlights zien er als volgt uit:
DomainKeys
New for version 8.0, MDaemon Pro has integrated the DomainKeys security system for users and administrators. DomainKeys technology validates sender addresses and the message integrity of email. DomainKeys is gaining industry acceptance for counteracting email address spoofing. MDaemon 8.0 creates outbound signatures and validates inbound DomainKeys. DomainKeys integration is an MDaemon Pro feature.
SpamAssassin 3
MDaemon 8.0 includes the latest version of SpamAssassin 3 antispam software. SpamAssassin technology uses a variety of tests for detecting unwanted email messages. The output of each test assigns a spam score to an email. If the score reaches a threshold level, MDaemon marks the email as spam.
Inline AntiVirus Scanning
MDaemon 8.0 now scans incoming messages in real-time during SMTP sessions. Inline (or immediate) scanning using AntiVirus for MDaemon increases the security of your messaging infrastructure and eliminates time-consuming administrative headaches. In the latest release, upon finding a virus, the MDaemon inline scanning feature rejects the message before it is accepted. The new inline scanning feature works only in conjunction with AntiVirus for MDaemon and is enabled by default.
Outlook Connector
MDaemon 8.0 includes enhanced support for Alt-N’s Outlook Connector plug-in. Due to be released in May 2005, Outlook Connector installs in Microsoft’s Outlook email client and enables that application’s sharing functions to work with the built-in groupware capabilities of MDaemon. As a groupware function, data between Outlook Connector and WorldClient are seamlessly linked.
Custom Plug-in Interface
MDaemon 8.0 now integrates custom plug-ins into the graphical interface and message processing chain. Once installed, a plugin becomes part of MDaemon, even including a command in the Setup menu. Reference materials, how-to documents and sample source code are available immediately by downloading the release version of MDaemon 8.0.
Groupware Functions
MDaemon 8.0 comes with both new and enhanced groupware features designed to support collaborative work. Integrated into MDaemon's WorldClient web mail platform, these groupware capabilities allow you to share calendars, contacts, task lists and email messages, plus anything you can put into personal email folders. Best of all, you can do all of this through the most popular web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
