v9.0 [Aug 11, 2015]
Added a new WebMail client, a new face for the admin interface, the ability to sync contacts via CardDAV, as well as numerous security & stability improvements.
v8.1 [Oct 18, 2012]
1. Detection of sexually explicit image content
Inappropriate content can be detected in the attached images or in other types of attachments (MS Office files, ZIP files) with embedded images. Incoming and outgoing messages suspected to include such content can be handled in multiple and flexible ways: they can be discarded, redirected or copied to a specified address, they can quarantined for later inspection performed by an administrator or they can simply be passed to the recipients with a corresponding warning about the potential inappropriate content.
The filter can be configured to send a notification to the originator of the message, when the potentially inappropriate content is found in an email message. Through this kind of notification, users can be informed gracefully about the organization's rules and policies related to sending visually offending content.
2. Recovery of lost username or password
In this version we have introduced the possibility for an user to recover the access to his/her account in case he/she forgets the username or the password for the Axigen email account. This feature comes to enlarge the set of capabilities related to credentials' management that Axigen provides (e.g. password change, flexible password enforcement and expiration policies, customized notification in case of password expiration).
The recovering process of both username and password is easy and straight forward.
In case an user forgets the password to access his/her Axigen email account, the password for that account can be reset if the user answers correctly to a secret question that he/she previously defined as a personal setting of the account. In case such a secret question was not defined by the user, a web link can be sent to the user's personal (alternative) email address that he/she has defined in the personal details settings. Using this link the user can easily reset the password for the Axigen account he/she owns.
As usual with Axigen, the notification messages sent to users in response to their requests for credentials' recovery can be customized and localized through specific email message templates.
3. OTHER ENHANCEMENTS
- Detailed reports on resource usage
Starting from this version the statistics reports have been enhanced to include other important data. The administrator of a server or of a cluster of servers can now receive periodical usage reports that include detailed information about the resources defined and used by the server(s) in terms of numbers of domains, accounts, defined Premium Accounts and active Premium Add-ons. For the quantified parameters different metrics per eache period are provided (e.g. total, maximum, average).
These detailed resource usage reports are the foundation of a new subscription-based licensing model that Axigen team will launch soon for the Service Provider edition. This will allow a flexible and cost-effective way of paying periodically only for what is used in terms of Axigen resources.
- Self-determined routing of requests in a cluster
A new way of routing the requests received in the Front-End tier of a cluster has been added. The IMAP, POP3 and Webmail connections accessing an Axigen account can now be routed smartly and independently by a server in the Front-End tier to the appropriate server in the Back-End tier by resolving the server hosting the account through simple interrogation of the servers in the Back-End tier of the cluster.
This way, an administrator does no longer have to define and maintain a LDAP-based or file-based user mapping (userMap object) to handle the account distribution across multiple Back-End servers, making the cluster operation more flexible and easier for small to medium size clusters.
- Enhanced quarantine
The email messages being quarantined by some filters with "quarantine" capability are now categorized by having a associated a tag which usually indicates the name of the filter that had put the message into quarantine. Using this information, an administrator can select to view only the email messages with a specific tag and thus put into quarantine by a specific filtered.
More than that, messages being quarantined can now be downloaded for inspection from Webadmin service, allowing an administrator to determine the reason for being quarantined based on their content. This way the administrator can find and handle the false positives generated by a certain filter, which can then be properly adjusted to reduce the false positive rate.
- Email messages saved as .EML files
In this version an enhancement has been introduced that allows an user accessing his/her Axigen email account from the Ajax-Webmail interface to save/export an email message as a local .eml file, no matter how large that message is. This way the user can store his most important messages along with their attachments in personal folders in the local file-system.
v8.0 [Apr 5, 2011]
Full Calendar, Tasks & Notes
In addition to desktop-like usability, the Ajax WebMail interface now offers full support for Calendar, Tasks & Notes, along with many other enhancements designed to help users make the most of their online experience.
Multiple Date & Time Settings
Users can choose from various date & time formats for the WebMail interface. They can also set their calendar preferences related to the week's start day, working day etc.
Events & Tasks Email Reminders
Users can define email reminders associated with their calendar events & tasks.
New "Filtered Email" Folder
A new "Filtered Email" folder has been introduced for storing messages coming from potential untrusted senders (that are not in the user's address-book). This functionality can be used for different accounts & classes of accounts & can be combined with the existing Identity Confirmation mechanism.
Localization of the Connector
As promised, Axigen's localization process continues in this release by introducing several languages for the Axigen Outlook Connector:
Automatic Creation of Profile
A connector profile can be set & created immediately after the connector is installed using the installation kit.
Auto-discovery on Profile Creation
Users can define a profile using an auto-discovery mechanism that allows them to specify only the email address & password for accessing their accounts from Outlook, without any additional details (hostname, IP address etc.). Auto-discovery can be used right after the installation of the connector or at a later time.
Synchronization of Calendar Options
The Axigen Outlook Connector can use the calendar-related options defined in the Ajax WebMail interface.
Localized System Messages
Email messages sent by the server for different system-related events (e.g. welcome messages on account creation, password expiration notifications etc.) can now be localized & customized according to a template. Already available translations:
* Chinese
* Czech
* French
* German
* Indonesian
* Italian
* Polish
* Portuguese
LDAP-based Provisioning of User Settings
System administrators can now specify initial values for various user settings (such as language, time-zone, date & time formats, or signatures) upon the creation of new user accounts via LDAP synchronization.
Statistics Related to the Mail Server Usage
Axigen can send periodical statistics to an email address specified by the administrator. Such reports contain anonymous information regarding the platform on which the server runs & size of handled data (e.g. number of domains & accounts, types of services & add-ons etc.).
