Can A Browser Really Make A
Difference? Yes!
(Kevin
Beatty – Marketing Director)
I've been told on a number of occasions by our
WorldClient webmail developer that Internet Explorer (IE) is a slow
browser compared to others on the market. But like many users I continue to
use IE because I am familiar with the layout, navigation, etc.; besides, why
should I change? So when I recently began testing Mozilla's Flock browser
(the company's version of Firefox for social media users) with WorldClient I
was truly amazed at how much faster the webmail client operates.
As the chart demonstrates, there
is quite a big difference in terms of performance between IE and other
browsers.
If you are a
WorldClient webmail user like me, you may want to try Mozilla's Fire Fox or
another browser and experience the performance enhancements for yourself. It
does make quite a big difference.

| SecurityPlus for MDaemon: What Is
Your Level of Risk Tolerance?
SecurityPlus delivers an additional layer of protection for the MDaemon
Email Server in the same way a house is better protected when doors are
locked and an alarm system monitors every entry point. Many customers
believe they are not vulnerable to attacks since they use a client level,
signature-based anti-virus solution. However, what they may not realize is
that everyday real-time malware variants that have yet to be identified with
a protection signature from security providers hit the Internet and present
an additional level of risk to email networks.
Did you know that the real-time Outbreak Protection
component of SecurityPlus prevented customers from being exposed to over
377,000 malware variants in the month of May alone!* That is an average of
94,000 weekly real-time exposures that have not received any traditional
anti-virus signatures updates.
Are you leaving your users exposed to the outbreak of these daily forms of
new malware variants? If you are, you may want to review your organization's
potential risk and consider adding
SecurityPlus for MDaemon to your layered security strategy.

| | Enabling DNS-Blacklist (DNS-BL) in
MDaemon 10.03 and Later Versions
When upgrading to MDaemon 10.03 or above from an earlier version, the
DNS-BL feature may be disabled. Many MDaemon administrators leave the DNS-BL
feature enabled so that all incoming IP addresses will be checked against
various blacklists. If they have been blacklisted, it means their IP has
been flagged for one of various types of abuse or suspicious activity, such
as allowing open relaying, spoofing, etc. Allowing MDaemon to reject
connections from blacklisted IP addresses is an added layer of security
against spam. By having this feature disabled, many users may see increased
levels of spam entering their mail system.
The DNS-Blacklist feature has undergone some internal coding
changes. As a result, this feature may be disabled after application of the
10.03 update. It can be easily re-enabled using the UI (Ctrl+P and selecting
the DNS-BL node from the left-hand tree-view control).
In addition to the above steps, you can also
re-enable this feature by going to Security - Spam Filter. Select "Hosts"
under the "DNS-BL" section, then check the box "Enable DNS-BL queries."
