October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which means it’s a good time for IT administrators and MSPs to review their email defenses. Email is still one of the most common ways attackers get into an organization. As we noted in our MSP post below, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center logged more than $20.8 billion in reported losses in 2025, and business email compromise alone accounted for roughly $3 billion of that total.
Most email compromises don’t have to rely on sophisticated exploits; they often start with basic configuration gaps such as a missing SPF record, disabled screening rules, or misconfigured settings.
Now that SecurityGateway 12.5 is out, we've updated our SecurityGateway overview video, showcasing its strong protection against inbound and outbound threats, plus archiving and compliance features to meet evolving data privacy and retention regulations.
SecurityGateway 12.5 is here, and it brings a refreshed web interface, stronger defenses against disguised and mismatched attachments, more flexible domain administrator controls, faster user verification for Google Workspace domains, DNS-based domain ownership verification, and a new REST API for automation. Together, these updates give administrators more control, better visibility, and stronger protection, with less manual work. Here's a closer look at what's new.
When an MDaemon service stops unexpectedly - SMTP, Webmail, ActiveSync, or any of the others, every minute of silence is a minute your users aren’t sending or receiving mail. The good news is that you don’t need a third-party monitoring tool to catch these events. Windows ships with a built-in feature,
Performance Monitor, that can watch for a stopped service and send an email alert the moment it detects one.

This guide walks through the full setup end-to-end: creating the performance counter alert, adding it to a PowerShell script that sends you a notification email, and testing the whole chain so you can be confident it will work when you actually need it.
Recently, we published our white paper “Email Security Without Compromise – the MDaemon Approach.” In this post, we’re sharing our latest white paper, which details how SecurityGateway intercepts email threats before they reach Microsoft 365, Microsoft Exchange, or any other mail server — with multi-layered protection, deep administrative visibility, and full deployment flexibility.
If you're an administrator using SecurityGateway for Email from MDaemon Technologies, you already know that the dashboard is your command center. It gives you an at-a-glance view of server health, message queues, spam activity, and more. But did you know you can go far beyond the default charts and build your own custom reports tailored to exactly what your organization needs to monitor?
Many of our customers are using both MDaemon and SecurityGateway™ together for their email security and messaging needs. Both products are loaded with anti-spam, anti-spoofing, encryption & other security features, and while some features are unique to MDaemon or SecurityGateway, many are found in both products, and therefore can be disabled in MDaemon as long as they are enabled in SecurityGateway.
Email threats continue to evolve, and so must the tools that protect your organization. With the release of SecurityGateway 12, we've added new features and enhancements that strengthen security, improve performance under heavy load, and give administrators greater visibility and control.
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.
