Powerful budget friendly mail server solution. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan A. | Technical Support Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** We have been using the MDaemon since 1999. I find the software is extremely easy to set up and configure while being able to perform the same functions as it's larger competitors. MDaemon is very security focused and uses many different technologies to best protect my mail environment from all kinds of spam phishing and virus attacks. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** MDaemon is such a solid piece of software yet I still have to fight perceptions because it is not a more well-known mainstream EMail solution but it definitely holds its own on all fronts. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** MDaemon should definitely be on your list when considering EMail solutions an effort made to use all features to their fullest. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** MDaemon is extremely easy to deploy and provide full functionality at a fraction of the cost and administration overhead of other software. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Thanks so much for your faith in us Ryan! And trust me, we encounter those same perceptions :) ### 2. Mdaemon from a business users perspective **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephan D. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** My company has been using Mdaemon server for a number of years. I am the IT person and company owner and I appreciate that Mdaemon is extremely powerful allowing you to control many aspects of how incoming and outgoing mail is handled. While it is very powerful it is also relatively simple to use and tech support and the user community is readily available when you need them. At the time I evaluated Mdaemon it was pretty much the only email server other than MS Exchange which also had a component to work with MS Outlook. The Mdaemon Connector software which interfaces with outlook has evolved over the years and I particularly like how I am able to create public folders and contact lists that are shared with other users allowing us to have centralized email folders and contact lists. Content filters and IMAP rules further allow you to customize how emails meant for an entire department or team are handled and placed in the proper folders. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** Mastering all tbe aspects of Mdaemon could take a lot of time and require a certain degree of understanding of email protocols that some business people who are not IT savvy might find challenging. For the most part I can leave settings I dont fully understand in their default positions though. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Very powerful email server.. I cannot imagine it not being able to do something one would want it to do. Very affordable and vrey frequently updated with fixed and new features. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Primarily I use public folders to share incoming emails with the departments they are meant for. This allows us to have common folders and everyone can see what has come in and who is handling incoming requests. IMAP rules further allow me to customize my teams experience. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > We're so glad MDaemon continues to work for your organization Stephan, and we'll continue to evolve and improve! ### 3. Totally satisfied with this product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dmitrij J. | Mr, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** First of all its very cheap to run mdeamon server on premises. If you buy yearly subscriptions one mailbox will cost you 0.5 $ per mailbox per month. However you are not required to buy early subscription. You can buy one license for one year and run it for unlimited time in that case mdaemon server is almost free, but you won't get software updates. MDaemon server updates comes often. Updating is easy and never resulted in server crash or any other problem. System requirements for this server are low. I'm running it only on 2vCPU, 4 GB RAM and RAID-DP as storage and it runs fast enough. I'm running this server software about 8 years and never had any bugs. So in general i'm very satisfied with this product. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** MDaemon cloud services price inadequate and uncompetitive. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Try it for free for one month. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it for regular email exchange on computer, phone or tablet. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Hi Dmitrij, thank you so much for your positive feedback! I wanted to offer some additional resources regarding our MDaemon Email Cloud option. Below are links to our pricing page and an article by TechRadar that includes pricing info for other cloud email providers. You'll see how our pricing compares, but more importantly, what features are included for said price. Thanks again! https://www.altn.com/MDaemon-Hosted-Email/MDaemon-Hosted-Pricing/ https://www.techradar.com/news/best-email-hosting-providers ### 4. Dependable E-Mail Server Since 1996 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark M. | President/CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** Ease of managing server installation and configuration. We've been using MDaemon as our dedicated e-mail server for the past 23 years. It has always been a breeze to move it to new servers and have near-zero downtime with our e-mail service. The settings are directly-accessible via text files, the main program interface, or via web browser. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** The number of configuration options, while necessary, can be overwhelming to a non-dedicated IT individual like myself. The MDaemon Health Check and browser-based Administration interface make it easier to access and narrow down important settings. So, I hope the developers continue to create simpler ways to get at and set commonly-used and critical options. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** MDaemon is a comprehensive e-mail server, so there will be more of a learning curve non-IT users. However, once it's up and running, little maintenance is required and you can benefit from having your own, in-house e-mail server. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're a small company, but we handle thousands of e-mails to and from our customers around the world. I like having direct access to white/black lists, aliases, and other settings without having to go through a third-party IT company or E-mail Service. MDaemon has been very dependable for us. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > 23 years already?! Thanks for your continued faith in us Mark - here's to 23 more! ### 5.

The web client and chat module help staying on our infrastructure and not needing to use third party systems. It offers all standards to stay on top of spam issues and ensure secure connection from one server to another. Latest version 19 now support multiple certificates. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** I have been using MDaemon first privately and it was my first choice for my start-up as it a great solution for small / medium enterprises and I do not have any dislikes. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Easy set-up, secure and very reliable mail server.

Excellent Exchange Replacement **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David B. | IT Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** Having used Microsoft Exchange for several years I began looking for a replacement option due to budget restrictions. I required a system that supports Outlook as well as MS ActiveSync. Also having used Exchange I wanted a system that was not only less expensive but easier to manage and support. After vetting several email systems I decided to go with MDaemon. I have now been using MDaemon for over a year and have no regrets. It works fully as expected. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** The only real issues we have had with MDaemon has been with the Outlook Connector. It works but has some quirks that take getting used to. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Just Try it **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** The major benefits are cost savings and support complexity. MDaemon is substantially cheaper than Exchange and works just as well for a SMB **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Hi David!

Cost effective, reliable, easy to administer and maintain. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan C. | IT Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** Self hosting our email server is very cost effective, even with added cost to colocate the server. Hosting our own email server saves us 10's of thousands dollars every year vs popular hosted solutions. MDaemon support is excellent, I recommend purchasing the priority support contract, just in case. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** The biggest thing I dislike is that the end user is not able to reset their own password. Not having the ability to use different SSL certs for different email domains, using MDaemon internal web server. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Look at the cost of MDaemon first, then shop around, the cost of MDaemon cannot be beat. For best results run MDaemon on actual server hardware and I highly recommend colocating server, that will reduce potential downtime due to environmental issues significantly. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Provide easy to use, reliable email service. Maintain legal compliance by being able to use 3rd party email archiving. The ability to brand MDaemon webmail with our company logo. Very easy to backup all email on the server using 3rd party cloud and local backup solutions. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Hi Ryan, thank you for your feedback! We actually added the ability to use different SSL certificates in version 19 - the squeaky wheel got the grease!

CTO **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shree V. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** The central panel gives you real-time logging of the email flow. The real-time logging is so valuable to determine if your email server is having problems quickly. I do not get this from an exchange server or o365. The technical support is top notch, their expertize in the product amazed me. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** I wish that would integrate the categorize list from outlook to be saved on the MDaemon server. The globe timeout for world client should be able to be set per mailbox. I would love to see CalDAV client availability for using with raspberry pi and IoT devices **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Just work with MDaemon for a while with live users and you will see your time spent on managing is cuts in half. The ease of setup, the ease of migration. And the ease of reading the reports. Just watching the mail flow screen alone with giving you peace of mind that thing is running right. If there is a problem, the colorized texts make finding the issues quickly. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can set our own quota file size and mailbox size.

In that time period, I've never had two failures that were both during an update. Those last two failures were over 15 years ago. Simply said, MDaemon has provided us with a secure stable email solution that has lasted through the decades.

Use the functions within MDaemon to bridge to your old email system to make transition smoother. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our biggest business problems were archival capture of emails for legal reasons. We wanted an on-prem solution that allowed us to respond to discovery and open-government FOIA requests. We also need to ensure a secure point-to-point email exchange within our domain.

I originally went with MDaemon , I think it was V2.X, because it was a perfect fit for small business. We were using dial-up modems to pull external messages and integrating with our local (internal) email. No other solutions did what we needed. We stay with MD now because because it reliably serves us and allows full control. Administration is simple and features have kept pace with our needs. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** Cloud-based solutions are available now that could totally eliminate administration and fuss. If I was not already up and running with this solution, I might consider one. However, control remains important. No regrets so far. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** MD does a great job with spam control. I don't think other solutions can touch it. Outlook collaboration is great too. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Thank you for your comments Keith! You have been using MDaemon for nearly 20 years - that's 16 versions ago!

Take some time and learn how you currently troubleshoot and backup current email compared to options available in MDaemon. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Proir to us switching to MDaemon, we were using a command drive based linux mail server, this brought us up to a much better platform all the way around.

On-premise mail server far less expensive than cloud-based email **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martin W. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** The low cost per user license really sealed the deal for our purchase. What SMB can truly afford the high price of Office365 or other cloud services for more than a few dozen users? **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** The Outlook Connector. It is not ready for prime-time. Oh it works, but is clunky if you want to utilize Microsoft Outlook as your email client. To be fair, Google Apps Sync was just as bad. I suppose any Outlook connector can never do what is built into the Exchange and Outlook ecosystem. Also, initial deployment requires lots of attention to detail, whereas a cloud service is more set-it-and-forget-it. As the sole administrator I find myself spending lots of time administering the system until the first month or two are history. Or until users just get used to the new normal. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** If you plan a IMAP-only or webmail-only email system, this is an amazing solution considering the low cost and excellent support. The hardware demands are minimal, from what I've observed on my virtual server Win2016 on ESXi on a NAS (SSD/HDD 12-drive array). I decided to pay the $500 annual priority support after purchase because I found I was going to need some handholding during the honeymoon phase. Totally worth it. They are Americans, speak English, and I get to them in less than 5 minutes where they're solving my problem. If you've been sheltered by managed email services, prepare by running MDaemon in trial mode and implement it on a different domain to see how the email works from start to finish. That was really helpful in comparing systems and experiencing the ease of administration. If you want calendar integration like Outlook, you'll be using the Connector which is frustrating for our users who are used to Outlook/Exchange integrated smoothness. To be fair, MDaemon is continually improving and implementing suggestions so I'm sure the connector will be greatly improved over time. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Spoofing was always a problem with Office365 and Google Apps. MDaemon has integrated modules that handle this. MDaemon has built-in security tools that help protect users and the server itself. Cost was another issue we overcame. Monthly licenses cost less than $0.30 per user compared with $8.00 per user with cloud-based email services. And we finally broke free of another subscription-based service, meaning we can keep using all email services even if we don't pay for maintenance fee next year! **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Thanks for not only your positive feedback Martin, but for also letting us know what you need improved. I have forwarded your comments to our development team, and we will continue to work to fit our customers' needs. ### 24. Very positive, software works well with few issues. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** Cost is reasonable and new features continually added. very few issues but when one pops up, response from tech support and community forum is good. Highly configurable so most issues can be addressed with a configuration change. We can manage email for whole organization quite easily. Security features are good, we have no issues with users opening malicious e-mail, instead they complain that attachments won't open or are missing (quarantined), We like that. Support for both web mail and mail clients such as Outlook via Outlook Connector. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** Renewal process used to be more difficult but now the web site makes it easy. Only minor compliant is that features tend to be scattered around the various configuration screens, so may take some research to find them. But that may be a cost of high configurability, which I wouldn't want to give up. Outlook Connector could be problematic, but has been better with recent releases. Main issue was corruption of the database, but with IMAP it could be cleared and mail synchronized again. Hasn't happened in awhile now. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Provide secure e-mail to 150 users, with total control over features and no inherent limits. No worries about staff getting into trouble with malicious e-mail. Phishing is still an issue but that's related to staff training. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Thank you so much for your feedback! We're especially happy to hear that you're pleased with the performance of the updated security features. ### 25. Using Mdaemon since 1998 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Oleg B. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** Easy to use and to admin the Mdaemon server. The price is very competitive for SMB. Great support from the vendor. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** Hate using Outlook with Mdaemon connector, Instead i prefer Mdaemon Webmail. I hope the hosted version will cpome soon. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** If you need on-premise Mail Server i trully think this is still the best server d=for Windows environnent. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mdaemon assured efficient e-mail communication in our growing organization for alpost 20 years. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > It's certainly been a long time, hasn't it Oleg?!

MDaemon as a list server **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff H. | IT Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** The ease of use. From installation through account/list creation, through troubleshooting. MDaemon makes the process easy. Plus it's the best system we've found to manage our mailing lists with both internal and external addresses. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** There is not much to dislike. While use with Outlook etc is not native it still works well. The only reason we moved off of MDaemon for our user mailboxes is because as a non-profit, we get Office 365 for free. MDaemon is still the best solution for us to manage our mailing lists however. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a bunch of mailing lists that contain both internal and external email addresses. These lists are used for mostly text based emails, so a service like Constant Contact or Mail Chimp is overkill. We tried to manage these lists in our Exchange environment but you have to add each external address as a contact which is a nightmare. In MDaemon, all you do is type in the email address. It's so easy and it works flawlessly. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Thanks for your comments Jeff! We strive to make MDaemon flexible, and it sound like it's meeting your company's unique needs! ### 27. Rock solid. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** As a small business owner, MDaemon has been an affordable way to take control of email communication. As my business has expanded and contracted, my email server was easy to adjust accordingly. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** Email is still a fairly complicated thing for someone like myself who has to run the business and manage technology, so it took me a bit to get everything set just right. Luckily the tech support was patient while I got things going. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Depending on your level of expertise, some assistance in the initial setup is all you may need. After that, upgrades are easy, and adding users/email address is simple. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** As local phone and internet provider contracts expire, and new players come on the scene, it was a hassle always redirecting domains everytime we changed providers. With MDaemon mail, its one (big) element of my business I do not have to worry about when I change providers. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > We are very proud of our Support Team, so we are thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience. Thank you for your feedback! ### 28. The most reliable and compliant Email server **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2019 **What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?** This one of a kind email server is Flexible, Easy to use and maintain. It is compliant when it comes to today's email technologies. The developer is open to new way on battling spam and securing your email transmittal. I remember when DomainKey and SPF are first introduced, MDaemon was actively supporting both. Now with a lot of new way on handling emails, MDaemon is always on top of those. Comparing with Microsoft Exchange or any other system, MDaemon requires less CPU and Memory. They are so efficient it handles processing faster and requires less from physical host. Totally amazing. If you are doing backup, this is easy to restore specially if you have granular restoration. Unlike in Exchange where you need to mount the whole database before you can access individual email (using special app), in MDaemon, all you need is mount the folder or files and restore it. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** No single sign-on capability. Recommend to scan harddisk (where mailboxes are located) regularly. Due to the nature how it store the emails (storing as msg files), you might end up with some file index corruption which can always be fixed by chkdsk. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** This is the only Email Server I know that can compete with Microsoft Exchange. It supports IMAP, POP3 and Exchange Active Sync.. It is a complete package to host your company's email because aside from above-mentioned service protocol, you can configure a very flexible content filtering, and safe guard email using multiple latest antiSpam and Antivirus engine. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** Filtering, Spam and securing emails. Very customizable, you can tailor how you handle each emails being processed before it landed to user mailbox. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > We're blushing over here!

This really hasn't been a big issue though. We've been using MDaemon for over 10 years, and only had to make a paid support phone call once during that time. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** I highly recommend to those seeking an email server option to get a trial of MDaemon Server. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use the calendars feature to create department calendars for staff (for employee schedules, etc.).

It is easy to use and access. We use the MDaemon webmail as our email provider. I like all of the features that are included like calendars, contacts, group contacts, folders, tasks, notes, and templates. Most of my emails are set up in templates and it helps make my job quick and easy. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** The MDaemon Messaging Server has only shut down a few times since I have been using it, but I would sum that up to a bad internet connection, not MDaemon's fault. I don't have anything bad to so about MDaemon Messaging Server. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** I highly recommend using MDaemon Messaging Server as your email provider. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** MDaemon Messaging Server provides my company and I a safe and secure way to contact our patients.

You have to go through different interfaces, for example, if you eant to add or delete users. If you add an alias, it's not sorted automatically in alphabetical order and this must be done manually. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a relatively small number of accounts but sends out more than 10K emails per day and receive more than 8K mails per day. MDaemon can handle all of this without fail. **Official Response from Emma Washington:** > Thank you for both your positive feedback and your suggestions!

Have been able to keep virus away from network and has done a decent job of minimizing spam. Easy to to setup and set filter and block domains. Easy to upgrade system and virus definitions. Very easy to run upgrades and simple to backup system.. **What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?** Learning how to allow attachments and blocking certain emails can be a challenge. If you send emails to the spam filter looking trough them can also be time consuming. Learning how to use black list filter can be a rather hard especially if you use the wrong ones. There should also be an easier way to receive simple support for small issue that do arise form time to time. Finding out the reason for a see ya message can be rather complicated as there is not enough information to properly know why exactly the email are being terminated. **Recommendations to others considering MDaemon Email Server:** Has a small learning curve and some email issue can cause some minor headaches but over all the system is reliable and easy to maintain. **What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you?** The email server can easily adapt as your company grows.
