Software update: MDaemon 10.05

Alt-N Technologies updated its email server software to version 10.05 on Tuesday. MDaemon is a mail server for the Windows platform with built-in antivirus and antispam capabilities. In addition, calendars and address and task lists can be shared, and senders can be validated by means of DomainKeys or Sender ID. An overview of all possibilities is on this page to find. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:

Changes and additional new features

• DKIM ADSP processing has been enabled by default for new installations and possibly for your installation as well. You should check Ctrl+S | DKIM Options tab to make sure ADSP processing is enabled. The state of the ADSP specification in IETF is firming up and it looks as if we’re ready to start using this on a larger scale. ADSP allows you to reject or treat with suspicion messages which are missing a DKIM signature which should be present. You can configure what you want to happen using settings found at Ctrl+S | DKIM Verification.
• [3257] Added ComAgent option to “Set IM ‘Enter’ key to send message”
• [3621] The “feature” which allowed users to skip RFC compliance checks on SMTP parameters has been removed and it will not be coming back. Buggy mail clients that send control codes (for example) as part of SMTP command parameters just need to get fixed. MDaemon accepting (instead of refusing) this sort of rubbish causes too many problems.
• [3759] Minger lookups now have their own timeout setting in F2|Timeouts
• [3786] Increased UI max configurable session limitation from 999 to 99999. This does not necessarily mean that your MDaemon installation will be capable of handling that many simultaneous sessions.
• [3733] Added text and link to SecurityGateway web site to the Gateway UI.
