If you’re moving to MDaemon from another email platform, or if you want to consolidate your local address books into one centrally-located database for easy access from anywhere, then you’ll want to import your contacts using WorldClient.
When contacts are imported into WorldClient, they are stored in a folder on the MDaemon server and accessible from your ActiveSync-connected mobile device (or Outlook 2013 & up connected via ActiveSync), Outlook via Outlook Connector, and WorldClient – MDaemon’s webmail client.
In a previous video and blog post, I demonstrated how to maintain data privacy by encrypting email messages in WorldClient (MDaemon’s webmail client) using Virtru. However, this easy-to-use client-side email encryption feature does more than just email encryption. When you use Virtru Pro, you can set a message expiration period, revoke sent messages, or disable forwarding. In today’s video tutorial, I show you how to set a message expiration using WorldClient and Virtru.
Has this ever happened to you? You’re the mail server administrator for a small business. You’re vacationing in Hawaii, and, inevitably, you get an urgent call from the boss asking you to set up an account or alias for a new user who needs email access ASAP. If you use MDaemon to host your email, and you’ve got access to a computer and an internet connection, you can create new accounts and aliases in a matter of minutes, and then be back on the beach sipping margaritas in no time at all. The following tutorial video will take you through this very easy process.
For spammers, the barriers to entry are very low and the potential payoffs are very high relative to the small amounts of effort required to send out lots of spam. Spammers typically look for the “low hanging fruit” of an email system, such as mail servers that are not configured to prevent relaying, or accounts with weak passwords. If a hacker manages to guess an account’s password, he can use that account to send out large amounts of unsolicited spam email messages. This can result in your server winding up on a blacklist. Additionally, if large amounts of spam are sent out before the issue is corrected, your business can suffer lost trust and a reduction in revenue.
MDaemon’s Account Hijack Detection feature can be used to disable the account once a specified number of messages have been sent from an authenticated session within a given period of time. But it would be better to not even let a hacker get that far. Having strong passwords that are difficult to guess would help prevent an account from being hijacked in the first place.
Today, we focus on the issue of weak passwords and how to thwart hackers by implementing strong password policies. These settings are located in MDaemon under the Accounts | Account Settings configuration screen. In today’s video tutorial, we demonstrate how to require strong passwords, how to force accounts with a weak password to change their password, and how to send a Weak Passwords report to a designated email address.
Email is one of the most valuable intellectual property assets a company can have. Protect your email by enacting strong security and password policies & keep the hackers out.
Recently, I created a video and blog post about Virtru Email Encryption for MDaemon, to demonstrate its features, benefits, and ease of use. Following along with its ease of use, I’ve created the following animation to show you just how easy Virtru is to use. Simply enable Virtru support in WorldClient (MDaemon’s webmail client), enable the Virtru features by clicking on the small “V” button within the email compose window, and then click on “Send Encrypted.” It really is that simple!
