• Phishing attacks
continue to utilize highly recognized Internet brands, such as Gmail,
Facebook,
PayPal, and CNN
• An average of 83% of
all email was spam
• An average of 305,000
zombies were activated daily
• The Mal/Bredo malware
had 838 variants during the quarter
The Alt-N Technologies
Literature page has the latest information on product data sheets,
product reviews, white papers, quick-start guides, security trend reports,
and more. The Q1 2010 Internet Threat Trend Report is available from our
Literature page or as a

Whitelisting with MDaemon
The whitelisting feature
located within MDaemon's spam filter provides mail administrators additional
control over spam filtering behavior. A whitelist is a list of addresses or
domains that the mail administrator trusts and should not be treated as
spam. A whitelist match subtracts a certain number of points from a
message's spam score, and a black list match will add a certain number of
points to a message's spam score.
Whitelist entries must be
added using proper syntax. The
MDaemon Whitelisting guide provides clarification among whitelist (by
sender), whitelist (by recipient), and whitelist (no filtering), and
explains how to properly format whitelist entries.

Update RelayFax Login
Credentials When Using MDaemon 11
MDaemon 11 requires a full
email address as username by default. If using Alt-N Technologies' RelayFax
Network Fax Manager with MDaemon 11, the fax server and client must also be
updated to reflect MDaemon's new login requirements.
In RelayFax:
1. Update the RelayFax
Properties Screen.
a. Go
to File | RelayFax Properties.
b. Select
the "Mail Server" tab.
c. If
"My server requires authentication" is checked, then make sure a
full email address is
entered
into the "Account name" field.
2. Update the Mail Sources
screen.
a. Go
to Tools | Mail Sources.
b. If
an MDaemon 11 server is listed as one or more of your mail sources, then
make sure
a
full email address is listed in the "Logon" field.
In the RelayFax SMTP Client,
update the Server Settings screen:
1. Right-click on the grey
RelayFax SMTP Client icon in the Windows system tray at the bottom
right-hand
corner of the screen (next to the clock).
2. Click on
"Properties."
3. Select the "Server
Settings" tab.
4. If "My server
requires authentication" is checked, then make sure a full email
address is
entered
into the "Account name" field.

MDaemon's WorldClient Webmail Lookout Theme – IE 6 Not
Supported
Beginning with MDaemon
10.1.0, users of Internet Explorer version 6 or below attempting to view
WorldClient using the Lookout theme will be taken to the default Standard
theme. 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.

Legitimate Messages Routing to User's Spam.IMAP folders
If legitimate email messages
are being routed to users' SPAM.IMAP folders, yet MDaemon did not score the
messages as spam and no errors are found in the Anti-Spam.log file, then it
is likely that MDaemon is filtering these messages based on an
"X-Spam-Flag" header that was placed in the message from a
previous mail server. To circumvent this behavior in MDaemon 10 and up:
1. Go to Setup | Preferences
| Miscellaneous.
2. Click on
"Headers" in the left-hand navigation menu.
3. Under "If present,
remove these headers," check the "X-Spam-Flag" box,
and then
click "Apply" and "Ok." |
