File Structure

MDaemon's main configuration files are stored in the MDaemon/App directory and email is stored in a flat-file structure within the MDaemon/Users directory.

Early History

In the mid 1990s, Arvel Hathcock began writing MDaemon. Hathcock began writing software at the age of 14 on a TRS-80 model MC-10 that his father bought him. After developing bulletin board software for several companies, he joined Mailing List Systems Corporation. Hathcock became frustrated at the expense of the available email software and decided to write his own. In 1996 he founded Alt-N Technologies to produce and sell his email server, MDaemon.
