Alt-N: MDaemon

Easy to Learn, Use and Grow

MDaemon provides professional email services and security for enterprises with little or no professional IT support. Using and surpassing the industry standards, every MDaemon comes with web mail, POP3, MultiPOP, SMTP and List servers. The Pro version adds services for IMAP, Groupware, AntiSpam, Free/Busy Scheduling and SyncML.

Emphasizing Security

Both Standard and Pro MDaemon have multiple security tools for protecting themselves and their user accounts. Its security services stay out of the way as much as possible while guarding against unauthorized access, message tampering and spam.

MDaemon’s protective measures include content filtering, DNS black lists, SSL/TLS, relay controls, tarpitting, spam detection, reverse lookups, grey listing, black listing, IP and host screening, SPF, Sender ID, HashCash, Domain Keys and Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM).

To reduce the risk of blocking legitimate messages, the overall security approach uses heuristic and Bayesian analysis to determine the likelihood of a message containing falsified sender addresses or undesirable content, for example. MDaemon also makes extensive use of realtime blackhole lists, exception lists and white lists.

MDaemon is so skilled at stopping unauthorized access some enterprises use it as a security gateway for less secure email systems.
