Software Update: MDaemon 10.1.1
MDaemon is a mail server for the Windows platform with built-in antivirus and antispam features. The different features that are present in this mail server are on this page to read. MDeamon offers, among other things, the sharing of contact lists, task lists, email, documents or calendars, has a complete web client called Worldclient and can validate senders using Domain Keys Identified Mail, Sender Policy Framework or Sender ID. It is also possible to set up ‘spam traps’, with which all incoming e-mail is blocked in the other mailboxes. Alt-N Technologies has released version 10.1.1 of MDaemon and includes the following list of changes since the previous entry in the Meuktracker:
Version 10.1.1:
Changes:
- [4146] Changed installer to make installing registered, trial, or FREE version more clear.

- fix to WorldClient’s LookOut themes handling of remote images when printing
- fix to WorldClient LookOut themes external preview pane not collapsing the To and Cc fields to take up less space
Version 10.1.0:
Special considerations:
- Because of the powerful changes to the LookOut theme over the last several versions of MDaemon and because of the advancement of web technologies and standards since 2001 the LookOut theme no longer supports Internet Explorer 6. Users of Internet Explorer 6 or lower will be redirected to the Standard theme so that they may continue to gain access to their email and other groupware data. It is strongly recommended that users upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 which has been released with significant improvements to security, rendering quality and performance.
Major new features:
- SPAM FILTER UPDATE PROCESS IMPROVED
The Spam Filter updating process now has the ability to pull updates from updates.spamassassin.org in addition to updates from Alt-N. The Spam Filter update UI has a new checkbox which controls this capability. This will make sure your SpamAssassin rule-sets are always kept current. Spam Filter updates are now enabled by default for new installations. You should check to see whether your pre-existing installation has this feature enabled. - IMPROVED WORLD CLIENT
World Client Features:- A new and substantially faster loading, better handling WYSIWYG editor has been added to all of the desktop themes compose views. The new editor supports all previous features as well as adding the ability to preview content in an external browser as well as print the message body’s contents. The new editor also includes enhanced security features to help prevent cross site scripting (XSS) attacks. This editor has some exciting extensions and WorldClient will be enhanced to take advantage of them soon.
- Auto-Complete is now in the Standard and Simple themes’ compose views allowing users to more quickly enter recipients for email messages.
- Remote image blocking has been added to the arsenal of anti-spam tools in the MDaemon package. Sites and spammers looking to harvest valid email addresses will no longer have their remote images loaded when the message is viewed unless the user clicks on the bar above the message to load remote images. To disable this, edit MDaemonWorldClientDomains.ini and set
[Default:UserDefaults]
BlockHtmlImages=No (default is Yes) - [3221] Added ability to configure the way WorldClient handles “Read Confirmation” requests so that users can set WorldClient to ignore requests (“No”), automatically send a response (“Yes”), or be prompted (“Prompt”). This setting is found in MDaemonWorldClientDomains.ini
[Default:UserDefaults]
SendReadConfirmations=Yes (or No, or Prompt)
LookOut Theme Specific Features and Improvements:
- Calendar Day view events can now be resized with drag and drop bars at the top and bottom of each editable event to make re-scheduling events simpler and more intuitive. Events can still be dragged and dropped onto other calendars if they need to be moved between calendars.
- Drag and drop folder name highlighting for target drop folders to help identify the destination. This should reduce the chances of unintentionally dropping messages or groupware items into the wrong folder.
- The Addressbook and Address Lookup in the compose view now allow you to group contacts by company and department so that when the information is available contacts can better be sorted and found by this valuable datapoint.
- An attachment upload status indicator has been added to the Compose attachments screen to help users know gauge the pace of the upload and know that their file is being transmitted to the web server.
- The appearance of the Calendar events has been updated to give it a cleaner appearance and to reduce browser rendering flaws with event resizing.
- Long ‘to’ and ‘cc’ fields will now wrap in the message preview pane so that all recipients can be viewed.
- A progress bar has been added to the loading indicator when users login to the theme.
- Added the ability to drag and drop events from date to date in the week and month calendar views.
- Updated destination dialog for copying or moving messages or groupware data to help users see the context of the folder so that shared folders are more readily identifiable.
