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.
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.

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. This is especially true as even some of the strongest passwords have been exposed in hacking incidents and published on the dark web.
The 2024 presidential election is well under way in the United States, and that means cybercriminals are exploiting heightened public interest and uncertainty to launch targeted attacks using phishing and social engineering tactics. Here’s how they typically do it:
Malware can be delivered in many ways - via hyperlinks pointing to malicious websites, Microsoft Word documents containing malicious macros, or un-patched software. Or a bad actor can simply add a malicious file as an attachment to an email message and use social engineering to try to trick the user into clicking on the file.
