MDaemon offers some nice technology, both in the SMTP MTA, and in areas such as multi-site scalability. While some of the deficiencies in mobile device support would be easy to work around, our experience in testing mobile devices is that SyncML offers a lower level of reliability than the built-in ActiveSync clients in Windows Mobile and iPhone. Instead, MDaemon has SyncML support, which is not particularly common in the United States - although it does provide an alternative to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server with a third-party SyncML client for BlackBerry devices. That puts the world of Windows Mobile devices and iPhones out of easy reach of MDaemon (a third-party SyncML client can be used with Windows Mobile, although previous tests with SyncML have generally offered less than satisfactory results). While MDaemon has a MAPI connector, making Outlook access easy, there is no ActiveSync support. Unfortunately, all those cool features aren't critical in the typical mail server deployment where it's the mailbox server and the groupware features that matter most. We also found that MDaemon has a great management system. And, we were totally blown away at the level of visibility into message flow through the system for a product aimed at this market. As an SMTP receiver, MDaemon has as many features in the areas of security, SMTP transaction control and message routing. Windows-based MDaemon is a heavy-duty SMTP MTA with a mailbox server attached.
