MDaemon     Frequently Asked Questions
[Current version of MDaemon is 10.02]

What is MDaemon?

MDaemon is an SMTP/POP3 mail server software package for Windows 9x,ME, 2000 and NT. MDaemon has the ability to route mail to an entire network through one connection and one mailbox from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With a single dial-up account and a single mailbox a company can provide e-mail service to their entire organization.

How does it do that?

ISP's have the ability to forward all mail headed to a destination to a single e-mail box. MDaemon can log into this single mail box and retreive this mail, sort it out and send it to the matching mailbox that you've defined in MDaemon. Not only that, but it can do it at any interval you define from one minute on up. It will also dial your account automatically to check for and send new mail.

Can we use MDaemon with other Internet connections other than a dial up?

Yes! MDaemon supports several types of connections to the internet including modem, ISDN, leased etc. MD is scaleable, so it can grow as your organizations' mail needs grow.

What if we have more than one POP3 account we want to check?

No problem. MDaemon has what's called MultiPOP. You can check as many POP3 accounts as you like. (However only one of the POP3 accounts can be parsed for aliased mail.)

What kind of mail packages does MDaemon work with?

MDaemon works with any Winsock compliant POP3 mail software such as MS Exchange. MS Internet mail, Eudora, Pegasus, Netscape, E-mail Connection, and many more.

Can I use my single dial-up account to not only provide internet and internal mail to my LAN, but general internet access as well? My staff needs to be able to surf the web, transfer files using FTP and conduct Telnet sessions simultaneously.

MDaemon is fully compatible with Qbik's WinGate, and will use the same connection that MDaemon is using to provide simultaneuos WWW access (and other applications) to the Internet. Check here for set-up instructions.

Where can I get a copy to look at for free?

Evaluation copies are available for download from here. These are the full featured versions and are not impaired in any way. It just expires after 30 days.
