Having the system administrators' needs in mind, AXIGEN provides Clustering Support starting with version 3.0. Clustering support is based on OpenLDAP integration with AXIGEN and allows routing for the SMTP Incoming, POP3 Proxy and IMAP proxy services. This new feature enables system administrators to spread mailboxes on several AXIGEN servers and have a separate machine that routes POP3/IMAP connections to the appropriate mailbox server.

Another important feature of the OpenLDAP integration with the AXIGEN Mail Server is the LDAP Authentication mechanism. This new method is available for all the AXIGEN services that require authentication: SMTP In, POP3, IMAP, WebMail, POP3 Proxy and IMAP Proxy.

For a detailed example on how to setup a high availability distributed solution see this related article: Implementing, Deploying
and Managing a High Availability Distributed Solution on AXIGEN Mail Server.
