Hello,

Thank you for sharing your idea with us. MDaemon is already capable of removing attachments from messages. To configure this go to Security / Content Filter / Attachments. Add any attachments that you would like to be removed from messages to the list for “Restrict these attachments”. During processing, any attachments that match the names specified will be removed from emails.

If you have questions or would like assistance configuring this, please contact our support team. All of our support options can be found at http://www.altn.com/support/.

Thanks,
Arron
Statistics Event Notification

It would be very helpful if the statistics manager can send notifications when a specific statistic has reached a predefined value. For instance, if the Dynamic Screening statistic reaches 2000 hits for today, I would like to get a notification. Currently I only know that I have suffered an attack after the event.

Winmail.dat / RTF / TNEF decipher by Mdaemon

Mdaemon should decipher winmail.dat attachments, RTF or TNEF emails sent from outlook users or exchange servers.

Asking the sender to change their settings to send html or plain text is not optimal in a business environment.

Monitor queue sizes and put queue into hold when user definable threshold is exceeded.

To help detect spamming, when a queue size hits a user definable limit, the queue is automatically put into hold and the admin is notified (but cannot just queue an email notice to the admin as it could be in the queue that was just put into hold). If WMI performance counter monitoring could do this, is there any documentation? Are there queue hold semaphores?

Hello Jerry,

Thank you for submitting your idea to monitor the outbound queue and freeze it when a threshold is exceeded. There are a couple of options that are already possible. MDaemon includes a feature called Account HiJack detection that is designed to detect when an account is being used to send spam. This doesn’t monitor the remote queue, but it does monitor the emails being sent by a user account and if the user sends more than X messages in Y minutes, the account is frozen and the admin is alerted.

A second option would be to write a script that monitors the number of messages in the number of messages in the queue, which can be done with performance counters, and then use a queue.sem file to freeze the queue when the threshold is exceeded.

Thanks,
Arron

spam

Spam folder per user. Messages marked as SPAM would then be routed to each users spam folder messages would then automatically be purged based on a predetermined length of time i.e. 30 days, 60 days, 90 days This would enable messages inadvertently marked as spam to be accessible by each user, if the user doesn't "look for" the message with in the allowable length of time it would be deleted.
The SPAM folder should be created by default when a new user is created. Purge time would be a global setting

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for sharing your idea with us. MDaemon capable of filtering messages flagged as spam into a users Spam folder. To do this open MDaemon and go to Security / Spam Filter, select the option for “Flag spam but let it continue down the delivery path.” Then under Security / Spam Filter / Settings, check the box for "Move spam into user’s IMAP spam folder automatically.

You can also use the AccountPrune.exe utiltiy to purge messages from all users Spam folder after X days. To do this you’ll need to run the following command:

Accountprune.exe /m /d=2 /p=“Spam.IMAP”

Where d=2 is the number of days before a message is purged.

This command can be ran using Task Scheduler or you can have MDaemon run it by adding it to a midnight.bat file in the MDaemon\app directory.

If you have any questions or would like assistance configuring this, please let our support team know. All of our support options can be found at http://www.altn.com/Support.

Thanks,

let´s encrypt support

Implementing of "Lets Encrypt" Certificates (www.letsencrypt.org) and automatic renewal of the certificate would be great.
Would be a great step for easy using of ssl mechanism from MDaemon with trusted (not self signed) certificates.

Hello,

Thank you for posting on our idea engine. My first suggestion would be to contact the administrator of your email server. If that is you and you are running MDaemon as your email server there are several different options. Below are some links to help get you started.

1. You can use IMAP. This is the most basic setup that will only synchronize emails.

http://www.altn.com/Products/MDaemon-Email-Server-Windows/Mail-Server-Mobile-Access/iPhone-IMAP/

http://www.altn.com/Support/KnowledgeBase/KnowledgeBaseResults/?Number=814

2. You can use IMAP with CardDAV and/or CalDAV. This will synchronize email, calendar, and contacts.

http://www.altn.com/Products/MDaemon-Email-Server-Windows/Mail-Server-Mobile-Access/CARDDAV-Client-Setup/

http://www.altn.com/Products/MDaemon-Email-Server-Windows/Mail-Server-Mobile-Access/CALDAV-Client-Setup/

3. You can use ActiveSync. This will synchronize email, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes.

http://www.altn.com/Products/MDaemon-Email-Server-Windows/Mail-Server-Mobile-Access/iPhone-ActiveSync/

http://www.altn.com/Products/MDaemon-Email-Server-Windows/Mail-Server-Mobile-Access/Android-ActiveSync/

Access one's contacts via LDAP

A user's contacts in MDaemon should be accessible from an eMail client simply via LDAP. Normally contacts within a user's post office box can be accessed from the web interface or via Outlook-Connector. But email clients like Thunderbird connected via IMAP or POP don not have access to contacts - but they could, if MDaemon only spoke LDAP.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your suggestion for contacts to be available in an LDAP server. This is already possible. MDaemon has the ability to export contact information to any LDAP server that you choose. In addition, contacts are available via ActiveSync (an additional license is required) or via CardDAV.

Host screening option to reject inbound EHLO based on criteria

In the light of recent botnet attacks it's become extremely useful to be able to block within the host screen using wildcards to prevent machines that are clearly compromised systems. Blocking via reverse dns checking helps someway but not in all cases and ideally if communication comes from a EHLO address that is not following RFC guidance of the dns name for the server in question then it should be rejected.

What I'm asking for in addition to this is the option to be able to enter criteria within the blocking option such as 'if the EHLO is without a dot' then refuse connection. This will stop all domestic systems such as EHLO LUCYS trying to connect and not continue with a dozen or so lines of correspondence before determining whether it's spam or not.

Thank you,

Graham

Hello Graham,

Thank you for sharing your idea with us. Wildcards are supported in the host screening configuration. The difficulty is that email clients don’t use a FQDN when they are sending email. This means that if you were to block any EHLO value that did not include a “.” you would block all email clients that are trying to send mail through your server. This may work for you but it will cause problems for some. This is not to say that your idea is not valid, just that care should be taken. Your suggestion will be considered for future versions.

It is currently possible to block EHLO values that do not contain a “.”. To do this add an entry for . that is set to accept. Then add a second entry for * that is set to block. The entry to accept . must be above the entry to block *.

Please be careful if you add these entries, you may start blocking your own users.

Recommended values for host screening that will help to block connections can be found at: http://www.altn.com/Support/KnowledgeBase/KnowledgeBaseResults/?Number=855.

We have also added some additional security features for the next version of MDaemon that should help detect and block botnets.

Thanks again,

Arron

Reposition Email Signatures on Reply and Forward

MDaemon Signatures do not appear to be signatures as we come to appreciate in Outlook Emails, but rather a message Disclaimer. It would be nice to have the ability to position the signature after a senders message content added as a message reply or message forward. MDaemon currently adds the signatures to the very bottom of the message content of replied and forwarded messages. This doesn't look very professional when all the signatures appear to be grouped at the bottom of the message. It looks confusing. As a side note, users on mobiles devices with ActiveSync should have their mobile signature removed and an MDaemon user configured signature added for consistency. This could be done by allowing a broader use of MACROS and configuration options within CF Rules.

Hello,

A new signature management tools has been implemented in MDaemon that addresses this issue. Added the ability to configure a signature that is pushed to supported mail clients (Webmail and MDaemon Connector). A default client signature can be set at Setup | Server Settings | Client Signatures or it can be set per domain on the Domain Manager’s “Client Signatures” screen. Use macros such as $CONTACTFULLNAME$, $CONTACTEMAILADDRESS$, to personalize the signature with data pulled from the user’s contact in the domain’s Public Contacts folder. Use the $ATTACH_INLINE:filename$ macro for inline images in the HTML signature. After entering signature text, it will appear in Webmail as the “System” signature, and will become the user’s default signature. It can be enabled/disabled by default at Setup | Web & IM Services | Webmail | Settings or per domain on the Domain Manager’s “Webmail” screen. For MDaemon Connector, the signature’s name and related settings can be configured at Setup | MDaemon Connector | MC Client Settings | Signature. Requires MDaemon Connector 6.5.0 or newer, and “Push client settings to MC users” to be enabled. The $CLIENTSIGNATURE$ macro can be used in other mail clients to have the server add the client signature to messages.

Thanks,
Arron

Additional method of hijack detection

Hijacked accounts behave different, there are many different IP's that login to the hijacked accounts and send Email.
So the idea is to detect how many different IP's access an account and send email.
Have two Options to configure: warn and freeze
Examples:
* Warn the admin when in 24h more than 5 different IPs have sent email
* Freeze the account when in 24h more than 15 different IPs have sent email

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your idea with us. Messages to mailing lists from external domains can be refused in the current version of MDaemon. If the external domain/email address is a member of the list configure them as a read only member. This can be configured by going to Setup / Mailing List Manager / Select the list / members. Select the member address and click the toggle Read Only button. If they are not a member of the list enable the option to refuse messages from non list members. This can be done by going to Setup / Mailing List Manager / Select the list / Settings. Check the box for Refuse messages from non list members.
