In an age where cyber threats are growing in both sophistication and frequency, securing your email infrastructure is more important than ever. MDaemon includes a variety of tools and settings that can help administrators protect their users and connected devices from spam, malware, hacking attempts, data breaches, and email spoofing.
SecurityGateway for Email has been improved with new features to identify and categorize spam, enhance interactivity with custom mail flow charts, improve integration with Microsoft 365, and more. Here’s a brief summary. More complete details can be found in the SecurityGateway release notes.
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.

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.

By now you may have heard countless stories of businesses suffering data breaches because a bad actor was able to guess a user's email password. And while I certainly recommend using strong passwords, it's more important than ever that businesses bolster their email security by requiring users to use two-factor authentication.
