Free upgrade Offered by Linux+ Readers’ Appreciation Project Powered by AXIGEN

 

AXIGEN Mail Server is a carrier class messaging solution, backed up by first rate tech support. Now at commercial version 5.0.2, AXIGEN comes with interesting new features for its users (http://www.axigen.com/new-features/axigen-50.html). All of these new features are available to all Linux+ readers of the 1/2008 issue.

 

 

If you have already installed AXIGEN (http://www.axigen.com) from the Linux+ DVD, please upgrade to version 5.0.2. If you haven’t, when registering for your license key on the AXIGEN website, you will receive a download link pointing to the latest version.

Server Usability Enhancements

WebAdmin´s Global Settings section grants access to global service parameters, such as setting a primary domain, as well as license information and parameters.

 

Services Management

The new Services section enables quick service management options. Actions such as starting, stopping and restarting a service are easily performed by a simple mouse click on the available buttons.

 

 

Parameters Configuration

Configure service specific parameters through Axigen´s WebAdmin comprehensive management options: sliders, selection boxes and dropdown menus and text fields, all explained in detail within their Contextual Help.

 

Basic/Advanced Configuration

Domains, accounts, lists and groups can now be easily added using the Quick Add buttons. Advanced configuration options have also been further enhanced.

 

Security Policies - AntiVirus and AntiSpam Protection

The new Security Policies section of the WebAdmin interface brings all the security tools offered by the AXIGEN Mail Server under the same roof.

 

The fresh AntiVirus options now allow administrators to enable or disable a certain AV application with one mouse click. They can also determine what actions the enabled applications must take when they detect suspicious, infected and disinfected email messages.

 

The newly added AntiSpam tab has the same application enabling/disabling options as the AntiVirus tab. Moreover, easy to use sliders determine message scores that trigger actions such as deleting a message or having it moved to a Spam folder.

 

Global Access Control

IP rules can now be created at server level using the Global Access Control tab. The new tab allows easy IP banning. Access can be granted for an IP or IP range for certain services only, while denied for the rest.

 

Further more, the new IP check option allows sys admins to quickly view permission information for a certain IP, thus avoiding redundant rules.

Queue

Queue viewing options have been thoroughly improved. The View Queue page of WebAdmin, as well as the CLI administration tool, allow easy filtering and sorting of stored email messages. Searches can now be run using parameters such as sender, receiver, size, date and time of the next sending retry or message status.

 

 

Charts

A new feature of the Charts tab is the added groups that can now be used to group charts. The defined chart groups also allow quick and comprehensive browsing through all the displayed graphs.

 

Another new addition to the WebAdmin interface is the Storage Charts tab. This new tab graphically displays space usage information for both overall storage and per domain storage.

 

The Detailed Info button corresponding to each domain administered by AXIGEN graphically depicts space usage information for domain, object and message storage, by displaying all details pertaining to each storage file.

 

Logging

System administrators can now easily have a general idea of logging actions using the Local Log Overview tab. The log level, type and file are displayed for each of the AXIGEN services.

 

The content of log files can now be viewed in the WebAdmin interface. A list of all existing files can be accessed through the View Log Files tab; their content can be displayed by hitting the View button corresponding to each file.
