Effective monitoring of MDaemon can save administrators time by alerting them to issues before they become outages. In particular, MDaemon provides a suite of built-in alerts, reports, and notifications covering everything from email authentication to system health. Enabling these tools helps catch problems early – for example, detecting spoofed mail attempts via DMARC reports, blocking brute-force attacks with Dynamic Screening alerts, and warning of low disk space or failed updates on the server. Below we explain each type of alert/report, what it means, and why it matters.
Many businesses are finding that the email security and spam filtering features in Microsoft 365, Barracuda and other secure email gateway platforms just don't seem to get the job done in protecting businesses from spam, phishing, malware and data leaks. SecurityGateway™ for Email is a user-friendly alternative that includes anti-spam, anti-spoofing, and anti-abuse features, along with archiving and compliance, in an easy-to-use interface that includes color-coded email delivery charts & graphs to make administration & troubleshooting easy.
Many organizations that once shifted email and productivity workloads to Microsoft 365 (Office 365) are now “repatriating” them to on-premise email servers. This trend is highlighted by several key drivers – financial, technical, compliance and control. In practice, businesses cite soaring cloud costs, regulatory/data-sovereignty concerns, performance/reliability issues and a desire for tighter control as motivating factors. In this post, we summarize these reasons and note key examples when possible.
If you manage a mail server, having a functional postmaster alias isn't just a best practice—it's a requirement. According to RFC 2142, every email domain must have a working postmaster@yourdomain.com address. But beyond compliance, this simple alias plays a critical role in maintaining healthy email communication and managing server-related issues.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol that allows secure communication over a network. It uses a certificate issued by a trusted CA (certificate authority) to encrypt connections between clients and servers. These certificates must be renewed periodically to ensure continued data privacy.

It’s alarming to discover that someone is sending emails that appear to come from your email address—especially if you didn’t send them. This situation can make you wonder if your email has been hacked. However, not all suspicious activity means you’ve been compromised. In many cases, your email address may simply be spoofed, not hacked.
Phishing continues to be a popular tactic for cybercriminals to infiltrate businesses in an effort to spread ransomware and steal sensitive data. And while the threat landscape continues to evolve, steps can be taken to help mitigate the threat of phishing attacks.
