5.1. Domains

In AXIGEN, domain management has several features that give you full and easy control of administered domains while enabling you to fine tune resource allocation for each of these domains.

Two administration tools allow you to create domains:

  • WebAdmin - also gives you access to all advanced domain configuration parameters.
  • CLI - see Configuring AXIGEN using CLI for more details.

Important! When creating domains, one message storage location is recommended for each predicted 20GB of message occupied storage space. For larger spaces, additional message storage locations should be created to correspond to the number of 20GB storages you need.

You can add multiple message storage locations using WebAdmin (when creating the domain) or CLI (within the domain creation context). After creating the domain, additional locations cannot be added. When using CLI, the command to create multiple message storage locations is as follows:
                    ADD MessagesLocation <path>


Domain settings in AXIGEN are available at the following levels:

  • General
You can use AXIGEN to create as many domains as allowed by your license type, and for each of these domains. You can also specify the services to run for this domain, assign an IP address to this domain or create a 'catch all' account for all emails sent to inexistent user accounts.

See Domains General Configuration for information on how to configure general domain parameters using WebAdmin.

  • Domain Aliases
For all domains administered with the AXIGEN Mail Server, you can add as many aliases as you need.

See Defining Domain Aliases to manage existing aliases and add new ones.
  • Message Filters
For each configured domain, you can manage the existing Antivirus /Antispam Filters and add as many Incoming Message Rules as you like. This way you can implement different security policies for different domains.
For general information on filter types available in AXIGEN, see Mail Filtering
For detailed information on how to configure filters, see Domain Message Filters Page

  • Message Appender

AXIGEN allows system administrators to define a certain text which is to be appended to all email messages sent from a certain domain. See Message Appender Page for details on editing appenders.

  • Account Defaults
Through Account Defaults, system administrators can set default values for certain parameters that will be automatically inherited by all new accounts and account classes, and can be explicitly set (overridden) in the advanced configuration of the respective account or account class.
See Account Defaults for details on how to set their corresponding parameters.

Domains and accounts can also be added using the Command Line Interface, but the best option for domain configuration is WebAdmin, which gives you easy access to all the categories of parameters mentioned above.
