In order to install the AXIGEN Mail Server on FreeBSD, follow these instructions:

1. Unzip installation file

Issue the following command, in the same directory as the downloaded file, to unzip the installation file:
tar xzvf <install kit file> 

For example, to unpack AXIGEN TGZ for the FreeBSD architecture type the command below in the directory where the file is located:
tar xzvf axigen-6.1.0.i386.freebsd.tar.gz

2. Installation

Issue (while logged in as root), the following command, from the same directory as the tgz file:
pkg_add axigen-version.tgz

For instance, the corresponding command for the 6.1 AXIGEN version will be:
pkg_add axigen-6.1.0.tgz

After the installation, no daemons or related application will be started.

3. Configure AXIGEN

Before you start the AXIGEN server, you need to configure it. You can do that automatically with the help of the AXIGEN Configuration Wizard (please refer to the Automated Configuration with AXIGEN Configuration Wizard section for more information).

More information on each configuration setting can be found in the sample configuration files installed by default, as comments.

4. Start the AXIGEN server

In FreeBSD, the AXIGEN server can be started via its initscript, by issuing:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/axigen.sh start
