I would also recommend installing NOD32 on all the e-mail client computers, so that can catch any infected e-mails that make it through the server to their computers (plus, viruses from surfing the web, etc. Now, if you decide to go without the plugin, I would certainly recommend using NOD32 to protect that computer, anyway (aside from the e-mail server part of it). The plugin that comes with MDaemon uses a Kaspersky engine, so I would expect it to be pretty good. If Eset had a plugin for MDaemon, I would certainly recommend that, but alas, they do not. My main point here is that you should not depend on NOD32 to catch viruses at the e-mail server level, since it is not designed to work with MDaemon. Even if you are able to do this without corrupting your e-mails, it would still not be as good as the MDaemon antivirus plugin, because the plugin can scan the messages as they arrive, as opposed to every once in a while.

It is possible that a manual/scheduled on-demand NOD32 could scan inside the MDaemon mail files (depending on their format) and detect or remove any infected attachments. The e-mail server uses SMTP, and IMON scans only POP3 and HTTP. Each of these licensed features require a separate Licence Key. Each of these licensed features are combined into the MDaemon Email Server download/install file (.exe). This is due to the fact that AMON (NOD32's realtime module) does not scan the individual files/attachments inside archives or mailbox files because it would incur too much of a performance hit.Įven if you had left IMON enabled, that would not catch viruses at the e-mail server level, either. Notes on MDaemon AntiVirus, MDaemon Connector for Outlook, and MDaemon ActiveSync: Each of these features are available for purchase as optional MDaemon licensed features. I must caution you, however, that if you disable or remove the MDaemon antivirus plugin, your e-mail will most likely NOT be checked by NOD32.

If you wish to remove it from your computer entirely, I would think you could do that through Add/Remove programs or something similar.

Looking through the MDaemon documentation online, it appears that you can enable/disable MDaemon's antivirus plugin by going to Security -> Content Filter -> Antivirus.
