Pay license monthly.
For small businesses it might be a idea to pay the license costs monthly maybe as some kind of a subscrition fee . . Currently i
m running 16.5 bit really want to go to 17.5, but just dont have the funds for it. It is a pricely product without the addons and it would be friendlier if it was possible to pay a "subscription fee" . The product would than also be more available for starting companies.1 voteHello Gerrit,
Thank youi for sharing your idea with us. We will take a look at a system to pay a subscription fee instead of renewing annually.
Thanks again,

subscribe to ICS calendars on worldclient and public Calendars
I would like to be able to create a public calendar which is subscribed to an ICS source, this will allow all outlook connector & worldclient users to see this cal without the need to individually subscribe to the source on all clients, ie outlook, iphone calendar etc...
Also, if the above is not possible then the ability for worldclient to be able to add ICS subscribed calendars is a must !
1 voteHello Steve,
Thank you for sharing your idea to subscribe a calendar to an ICS source. Currently ICS files can be imported but there is not a way to subscribe a calendar to an ICS source. This will be considered for future versions.

Mail restriction based on IP address per account
It would be nice if we could restrict an individual email account to their specific ip address they are coming in on. That would eliminate their account from being hijacked when their password is compromised.
1 voteHello Len,
Thank you for sharing your idea to restrict individual email accounts based on their IP address. We will look into it for future versions.

Block Javascript attachments by default
I blocked this attachment after one of my clients got hit with the cryptolocker virus abut 2 year ago and since then it has blocked several more emails with this attachment.
I would recommend making this default as I cannot really see any valid reason for the vast majority of users to have the ability to receive emails with js attachments.

Thank you for sharing your idea to block javascript attachments by default. It will be considered for future versions.

Improved Control of DMARC Reporting
I would like some additional control and ways to monitor the DMARC reports which are sent out. I would like to be able to selectively stop reporting to certain recipients, and would also like to see what reports are going out in a summary form.
The problem that this addresses is that I have a domain to which I am sending a report which has stopped accepting the report, so I am generating failed emails that need to be cleared up manually. I Don't see any way to stop this at the moment!

Thank you for sharing your idea for improving control of the DMARC reporting. It will be considered for future versions.

Better warning when unable to reach altn-servers for licensing
You get an unclear warning from MDaemon if it can't reach the altn-servers to check the license. It basically just say that the system will shutdown in 7 days. In the log you can see what the problem is, but not what is going to happen. The GUI doesn't tell you anything. A 7 days warning is really bad during summer vacation. There should be a lot more days and a better explanation in the mail.
1 voteHello,
Thank you for sharing your idea for improving the email that is sent to the postmaster. The inclusion of a better explanation along with increasing the number of days before shutting the server down, will be considered for future versions.

Web link to unsubscribe mailing lists
Could not find this feature request (and I'm surprised of this)
AFAIK as of today the only way we have for unsubscribing a MDaemon mailing list is with a email reply.
This is a very old fashion way to manage unsubscriptions and it's not practical at all.Can we have a web based system to manage this? That is: a web link is provided in the email and the recipient simply click this to open the usual web page we all know to click "unsubscribe"
1 voteHello Ciano ,
Thank you for sharing your idea to add web base unsubscripe for mailing lists.
It will be considered for future versions.

Enhancement to inactive accounts when never accessed
I am suggesting an enhancement to the current Inactive accounts option. If an account is created but never accessed, it never becomes active and the counter for inactivity never begins. Those accounts then remain enabled and increase the attack surface.
I would like to propose that the Inactive check look at the last accessed date, and if blank, looks at the created date, and then applies the action using the same value as set for Inactive, disabling and notifying of any accounts disabled as a result of this.
Regards,
Tim1 voteHello Tim,
Thank you for sharing you idea with us to improve support for inactive accounts. It will be considered for future versions.

Directly deny accepting emails containing certaines attachments (e.g. iso) already at reception instead of using CF to avoid archving issues
Close connection when receiving files with certain (configurable) attachement types (for example ISO-files) instead of first accepting the mail and then passing it through Content Filter to delete/quarantine the mail in the second step. This has the advantage that a mail that has never been accepted does not need to be archived (in combination with saving bandwidth/cpu/disk space,...) and probably it would be easy to implement.
1 voteHello Tom,
Thank you for sharing your idea with us to reject messages that contain attachments which match the restricted attachments list. It will be considered for future versions.

Add a macro to allow setting X-Priority header for urgent e-mails
Add a macro to allow setting X-Priority header for urgent e-mails, especially in the "Send a NOTE to" option in Content Filter.

Content Filter - Compose group name from variable
When creating a content filter, it would be good to be able to compose the name of a group from variables. Currently, i can't e.g. use 'If the SENDER' is a member of "x1.$FILTERRULENAME$"... to declare a group based on the filtername (or other variable), which limits automation on certain occasions.
1 voteHello,
Thank you for the additional information. The first issue I see is that the content filter does not currently support searching multiple groups for the sender. If that were supported, you could use a rule similar to the following to archive messages being sent out by employees.
RuleName=Purchasing
Enable=Yes
ThisRuleCondition=Any
ProcessQueue=BOTH
Condition01=$SENDER$|group member|OR|CMP1Group|CMP2Group|CMP3Group
Action01=copy to dir|“e:\Archive\$DOMAIN\$MAILBOX$\Purchasing\”We will look into supporting the searching of multiple groups for future versions.
In the current version there are archiving options in MDaemon that may help, although, they may not provide the granularity you are looking for. The options can be found at Setup / Server Settings / Archiving.
If you would like further assistance configuring this please contact our support team. All of our support options can be found at www.altn.com/support.

Hard Links for Copies
In our company, we use readonly public folders for departmental in/out mails, and read/write for custom archiving. As practically all mails get archived at least once, this leads to lots of wasted space.
So, suggestion:
When possible (folders on same drive), add support for and give the option to enable "create hard links for copied files". This would not only reduce space, but will probably also increase performance, due to fewer actual data = more unique content cached.1 voteHello,
Thank you for your suggestion, it will be considered for future versions.

ability to add to dynamic screen ip addresses that fail geolocation and they attempt auth
ability to add to dynamic screen ip addresses that fail geolocation and they attempt auth
1 voteHello,
Thanks again for your suggestion. I just realized I was not understanding your request correctly. Since you are allowing all SMTP traffic you would like to add IPs to the block list that attempt to authenticate. None of the clients should even attempt to authenticate since we are removing AUTH from the list of possible commands, however, it is possible for a client to ignore this and try to authenticate anyway. Your request to add the IP of these clients to the Dynamic Screening black list will be considered for future versions.
Thanks again for your suggestion and my apologies for not catching on quicker.

Prevent SmartHost to be used right after the first try (graylisting)
We are using "Send directly and use smart host on problems."
As soon as graylisting is involved this immediately enforces the smart host to be used while it should not.
An option to specify the amount of unsuccessful direct connections (before the fallback to the smart host is used) should be added.
1 voteHello,
Thank you for sharing your idea with us to delay the use of a smart host when a failure occurs. It will be considered for future versions.

Mdaemon Desktop Instant Messenger modernise GUI Interface
The gui interface of desktop instant messenger looks dated.
Could you replace the icons for text colour, spelling, send file etc with a more modern look and also make the main window showing the contacts look modern. The small font and very dated green and red icons make it look very old fashioned.
1 voteHello Robert,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We will look into improving the MDIM UI for future versions.

MDaemon filtering feature request
We’d like the ability to be able to watch an email working it’s way through the various filters, building up score as it goes.
Graphically we’d like it to look like the mousetrap game / Rube Goldberg machine.
Any email scoring highly enough to be classed as SP@M should disappear down a plughole of some sort and be accompanied by the ‘pacman dying’ sound effect.
By the end of the month would be nice - yes please! 👍
1 voteHello,
LOL, I think this would be fantastic, now I just have to convince my boss. I’ll see what I can do for you.
Thanks for the great idea!

Whitelisting specifc attachments from specific senders
I have moved to whitelisting attachments. What would be useful is to add to the exceptions attachments handling is the ability to whitelist say .zip files from a specific sender instead of just simply whitelisting sender which allows all attachments including dangerous virus attachments. While we trust the sender, obviously they may get infected with a virus and then infect us if the AV does not pick it up. Thank you.
1 voteHi Robert,
Thank you for following up with the additional information. Adding email/attachment pairs to exclude from the attachment restrictions will be considered for future versions.
Thanks again for the idea and for following up.

Saved Search Show unread count
Show a message count for how many unread or flagged emails are in each Saved Search Folder. All other folders show a message count of unread emails so would be consistent and many people like seeing a number. As these two folders will be used the most it makes sense to have a message count.

Determining the effectiveness of applying a security setting
The following security settings would be a good example here.
Close connection if no PTR exists
Close connection if no PTR Match
Outbreak Protection
Spambot DetectionI used to have Spambot Detection enabled but I disabled it a few months back because it appeared to me that the only emails being affected by this were legitimate senders.
I currently have both PTR checks above enabled. We have had a few legitimate senders affected by this.
I also have Outbreak Protection enabled
However there is no easy way for me to list all senders (domains) that were affected by security setting…
1 voteHello,
Thank you for sharing your idea to collect statistics on the effectiveness of security settings. It will be considered for future versions.
If you’d like to implement something right now, you can probably accomplish this using a powershell script.

Add option to 'soft fail' on Reverse Lookup (PTR) failure
At present the options for action on PTR lookup failure are to close the connection - a hard fail.
As others have observed this causes a lot of unhappy customers because emails from legitimate senders fail to be received, yet it also stops a lot of spam emails so it is a desirable test to have turned on (in my opinion).Please consider the option for a soft fail on PTR lookup failure.
For example I would prefer the option to increment the spam score against emails that fail rather than closing the connection outright.1 voteHello,
Thank you for sharing your idea with us to add a soft failure option for PTR lookups. It will be considered for future versions.
