Email Server Software

This extensive article describes in full details how to properly configure the AXIGEN reporting service, including the steps for adding AXIGEN activity charts, configuring the SNMP service and integrating the AXIGEN reports within the Cacti network graphing solution.As with all modern email servers, AXIGEN also provides graphical reporting charts to monitor the server’s health and display its status in a quick fashion. This feature has been designed to provide servers administrators with great flexibility and an extensive range of parameters to monitor. For this purpose, a graphical representation offers a faster and more detailed view of what exactly is going on with the services provided by the AXIGEN Mail Server.Another alternative would be using complicated command-line tools and commands to search for the needed information, a time consuming action that would also take a lot of server resources that could otherwise be redirected to other tasks. In this respect, the reporting feature does not cause a visible overhead since it is based on data that is recorded in real-time at an user adjustable interval, and not on processing log files. It offers access to the information in a fine-grained fashion, with a low resource usage.By reading this article, you will find out how to make best use of the AXIGEN reporting service, including the steps for adding AXIGEN performance charts, configuring SNMP parameters and integrating the AXIGEN Mail Server reports within the Cacti network graphing solution.1. Reporting Configurations based on Frequently Used Parameters1.1 Enabling the AXIGEN Reporting ServiceFirst, you need to enable the Reporting service using the Web Administration interface (WebAdmin):

1.2 Chart Configuration StepsNow that the Reporting service is enabled, you can further navigate to the Status and Monitoring tab in WebAdmin and configure your first chart:

When first viewing the Charts page, a list of pre-configured charts and their corresponding groups will be displayed. These charts are automatically created by AXIGEN and record information based on common parameters that frequently interest server administrators, such as the system load average, the quantity of messages stored in the queue or number of HTTP user messages read, SMTP inbound messages, SMTP outbound total connections, IMAP total connections, POP3 total connections and much more. Clicking on one of the Chart Groups on the left will result in displaying all the charts assigned to that specific group and enable you to edit or delete them. 1.3 Adding Charts in AXIGENAs previously explained, the AXIGEN reporting service can be configured to monitor various parameters of interest. As a hands-on example, the following charts will detail the quantity of messages processed by the SpamAssassinBundled filter, depending on their status.Example: Defining a chart that displays the quantity of messages passing the SpamAssassinBundled filter with the verdict of Spam:

Please note that any changes to a chart’s data recording settings will lead to a reset of the chart’s information.1.4 Chart Display SettingsIn the Predefined Styles section, you can use different chart types, filling and outlining colors for configuring the graph details of the chart. Additionally, a live preview of the current chart is available. 2. How Chart Information Is Collected & ProcessedNow we will detail how the AXIGEN Mail Server collects and processes chart data and how various settings can influence the display of the charts. This will help you in the process of understanding and reading the defined charts, and further help in the process of creating new charts based on the available parameters.When the sample interval is reached (default: once every minute), AXIGEN performs the following operations:

Today’s business world is fast-paced, highly versatile and mobile. Multiple branches, employees traveling from one city to another for weeks in a row, customers from multiple countries and time zones become commonplace, forcing companies to rely more and more on mobile devices to stay ahead. As instant access to information regardless of time and location becomes mission critical, it triggers the exponential growth of mobile email communication.

Quick access to one’s inbox, appointments and tasks leads to increased productivity and efficiency, business-wise, and, on a personal level, allows road warriors and frequent travelers to stay in touch with their family and friends. Take a tour of AXIGEN’s advanced mobile email and collaboration features to learn how to get the best of the high-end technology already at your fingertips. 1. Mobile WebmailThe AXIGEN messaging solution uses an advanced mobile webmail interface that supports all mobile web browsers compatible with the XHTML format for page rendering. The mobile webmail is integrated into the same server module and therefore provides seamless access to information to all users just like the regular webmail interface. When accessing the AXIGEN webmail interface, the end-user Mobile Browser ID String (User Agent ID) is identified and the mobile webmail is loaded and rendered automatically.The AXIGEN mobile webmail interface provides access to the following features:•    Basic email access (read, write, reply etc.)•    Advanced email access (move, delete, attachments etc.)•    Folder management•    Public folder access•    Advanced email search•    Sharing and permissions managementMoreover, the new Mobile Browser ID String (User Agent ID) can be further added, therefore extending the integration capability of the AXIGEN mobile webmail with newer terminals.The mobile webmail setup involves the activation of the webmail service from the web administration interface (WebAdmin) for users intended to have access to it and enabling the mobile capabilities for this service by checking the corresponding option on the service setup page. Once this simple procedure is completed any supported mobile terminal will have access to this feature.For more information and details regarding the AXIGEN mobile webmail, visit this documentation page:http://www.axigen.com/docs/en/Working-with-the-Mobile-WebMail-Interface_454.htmlTRIAL:  http://www.axigen.com/mail-server/free-webmail.php 2. IMAP/POP3 and SMTP AccessThe majority of modern mobile terminals have now built-in email clients that can be used to connect to the AXIGEN Messaging Solution using the same settings that apply on the MUA (Mail User Agent / Email client) on the desktop systems. The same credentials are used for these mobile accounts, and from the server’s perspective the same communication process takes place.This method is very comfortable both from the user’s perspective and from the network / system administrator’s perspective. Because these email clients typically use standard protocols such as POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP, the configuration overhead is completely avoided. To allow users access to their mailbox content, no server-side configuration is required (given the desktop clients can access the mailboxes). The users need to configure the email clients according to specifications provided by the terminal manufacturer.

The problem with electronic mail todayEmail is not what it was supposed to be. Its inventors have not foreseen the dan¬gers associated with this new form of communication. Means of protection were added later on, but do little to protect people’s mailboxes. As a result, most of the mail traffic these days is unwanted: spam, malware, phishing. How can we use the AXIGEN Mail Server and existing free anti-spam, antivirus and anti-phishing software and technologies so that the result is more than the sum of the parts?Traditional filtering in AXIGENFrom its very beginnings, AXIGEN has integrated open-source filters such as SpamAssassin and ClamAV and has used the fastest way to process mails through them by interfacing with their daemons directly. But this usage scenario had a major downside: mail messages were scanned in the queue, after having been accepted by the mail server. As a result, “Spam” folders had the tendency to grow indefinitely and waste space in the server storage and backup mediums.A new approach to email filteringStarting with version 6.2.2, AXIGEN can integrate with a Milter filter at the SMTP level, enabling scanning of the incoming SMTP connections. The possibility to scan a message before receiving it opens up new perspectives, as it enables us to refuse a message if the content filters strongly indicate that the scanned message is unwanted.Let’s take a simple example, in which the decision to reject a mail was taken by the Milter filter by evaluating the results of the antivirus scanner. Why would this be a better choice than quarantining, for example, or tagging?For one thing, we do not accept the message and no further resources are allocated to this mail: processing, storage, backup, double-checks etc. For unwanted traffic, this is a very good thing as it minimizes your problems. However, what happens if, unfortunately, the refused message is a legitimate mail? Let’s compare the three valid choices: quarantining, tagging or refusing the message.
