Hashcash "Proof-of-work" support  (MDaemon PRO)
MDaemon is now able to generate hashcash stamps. Hashcash is a form of electronic postage designed to help verify that the sender of an email message invested sufficient effort in order to do so.

Improved AntiVirus integration
MDaemon can now scan incoming messages for viruses during the actual SMTP session. A new switch was added to the Security|AntiVirus GUI to govern this behavior. This switch is enabled by default. This feature requires  MDaemon AntiVirus. If a message is found to be infected the message is immediately refused and can not be accepted.

Custom Plug-in support (MDaemon PRO)
MDaemon can integrate custom built plug-ins. See \Docs\Api\Plugins.txt for more details.

Improved antispam - SpamAssassin 3.0 (MDaemon PRO)
MDaemon now includes SpamAssassin 3.0. This new version of SpamAssassin includes many upgrades and improvements. For a complete list of changes see http://spamassassin.apache.org  

Improved error management - Holding Queue
MDaemon now has a new queue - the 'holding' queue. The purpose of this queue is to receive any messages which cause software exceptions during  AntiVirus, AntiSpam, or Content Filter processing. If a software error occurs during the processing of messages the messages will be moved into the holding queue and not delivered. When messages are placed into the holding queue they stay there until the administrator takes some action.

Improved queue management
Added a basic queue management system directly into the main MDaemon GUI.  This mimics some of the MDStats functionality but in a more integrated fashion. Double clicking a queue on the stats pane window will open the
MD GUI to this new queue management system rather than MDSTATS. You can still right click and select to view queues using MDSTATS if you want.

Improved LDAP queries for gateway users (MDaemon PRO)
It is now possible to specify multiple LDAP configurations for your gateway domains. LDAP is used to verify that accounts actually exist before accepting messages bound for gateway domains. To specify extra
sets of LDAP parameters you have to setup your first set using the GUI More information in the release notes.
