Software Update: MDaemon 12.5.1

Alt-N Technologies has released version 12.5.1 of MDaemon. 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. In version 12.5, support for tablets has been added and support for BlackBerry has been improved. The changelog for version 12.5.1 looks like this:

Changes and new features

• Changed the default number of login attempts allowed by WorldClient’s dynamic screening from 5 to 10. WorldClient returns the error “Logon refused” if the user’s IP is banned. More information can be found in WorldClient.log.
• For tracking purposes, IP and Dynamic Screening will now include the IP address being refused in the SMTP response string.
• Added “…but only from LAN IPs” options to new account defaults (Web Services)
• Added enabling OC option to new account defaults (Mail Services)
• Added better edit checks when entering new list member email address using UI
• When the “Send all outbound email to the Server specified below” delivery option is used and authentication credentials for that server are also configured MDaemon will attempt to use those credentials regardless of the actual host name that DNS resolves for the Server value.
• Active Directory interaction is now logged into its own tab and log file rather than the SYSTEM tab and log file.
• Active Directory monitoring now supports explicit mapping of email addresses. To configure this, edit your ActiveDS.dat file and add “Email=%mail%” to the [Templates] section. You can map any AD attribute here and it does not have to be %mail% but what you use needs to contain and return a valid email address or nothing will happen. If you setup an “Email=” template and it contains a valid email address then the mailbox and domain taken from that email address will be used over any other values ​​taken from any other templates or options. Domains which do not exist in MDaemon will be automatically created on the fly. This new “Email=” template is not present by default so if you want it you have to configure it manually.
• Added more colors to the WorldClient LookOut themes calendar color array.
• Renamed “Minimize GUI to task bar on startup” to “Always keep icon on task bar”
• The MDaemon system account is no longer visible/accessible via Account Manager
• The “Bounce message if receiving domain has no MX records” now only applies when using the “Send all outbound email directly…” delivery option.
• WorldClient’s LookOut theme supports “Forward As Attachment” with multiple messages selected.
