Having an on-premise mail server has many benefits in the areas of security, control, compliance, customization, and cost. Today, we focus on the security benefits.
When it comes to email and collaboration services, businesses have more choices beyond Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft 365. While these options may be popular choices, they may not be the best fit for your business. Consider MDaemon Email Server, a powerful Microsoft Exchange alternative that includes all of the email and collaboration features businesses need, without the added costs and headaches of a more complex email solution.
As cyber threats evolve, we face growing email security challenges. Hackers and cyber criminals relentlessly continue to attack businesses as users continue to fall for email scams. That’s why we must continue to be aware of the best practices for securing our email.
We’re excited to announce the release of MDaemon 23. This latest version of the trusted email server software includes highly-anticipated enhancements for integration with GMail and Microsoft 365, as well as administrative and usability improvements.
Did you know that over 80 percent of company data breaches are caused by poor passwords?
According to a recent study:
- Over 555 million passwords have been stolen by hackers in the last 5 years
- 44% of users reuse their passwords across personal and business-related accounts
- 31% of users have used their child’s name or birthday for their passwords
One of the biggest challenges for businesses is getting their users to use strong, unique passwords that are hard to guess, and this is made worse by the fact that users tend to reuse passwords across multiple accounts, making them an easier target for cybercriminals.

Email is still the number one way attackers get into an organization. In 2025, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) logged more than $20.8 billion in reported losses, a 26% jump over the prior year, and business email compromise (BEC) alone accounted for roughly $3 billion of that total. For managed service providers (MSPs), those figures are more than an industry headline. When a client gets hit, the MSP is the one who has to explain what happened, clean up the damage, and answer the hard question of why the defenses did not hold.
Threat actors are continuing their assault on businesses, individuals, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) this year, and email is still the top vector. As your clients turn to you for secure services, you need to make sure you have the right email security solution in place to protect your customers.
Beating the Odds
In July of 2022, MDaemon Technologies (formerly Alt-N Technologies) celebrated a unique milestone for a software company: 25 years in business.
You are probably familiar with the statistics: the average lifespan of an American company is 11.5 years. For startup companies, less than 10% remain after ten years (Businessdatalist.com). So how does a small software company in Texas defy the odds and compete against some of the largest companies in the email and security industry to build a loyal customer base that spans 140 countries? I know it sounds like a cliché, but listening to customers and providing an affordable, reliable product backed by great customer support have been the ingredients to our success.
As part of a product's natural lifecycle, MDaemon Technologies has ended the development, sales, and support (free or paid) of its RelayFax software effective June 30, 2022.
These days, hackers are gaining access to increasingly sophisticated tools to steal your usernames and passwords, and they know that people continue to use weak passwords for banking, utilities, and much more. In fact, even in 2024, did you know the word “password” is still among the top ten most common passwords?
