Article updated on 08 July, 2008

This article lists all default ports used by Axigen upon a fresh installation. In addition, all standard ports for the protocols used by the mail server are also listed along with common scenarios and typical solutions.

Axigen reports that certain ports are already bound or in use

Default installation with all services active:

These services and ports will be used during the first configuration of the mail server using the "axigen-cfg-wizard" application.

NOTE: For windows installations, the same ports are used by the configuration wizard during the initial setup.

____________________
| Service: | Port: |
|          |       |
| SMTP     | 25    |
| WEBMAIL  | 80    |
| POP3     | 110   |
| IMAP     | 143   |
| CLI      | 7000  |
| WEBADMIN | 9000  |
|__________|_______|

Secure ports (SSL / TLS) defaults:

The following ports will have to be used as the defaults when enabling SSL and TLS encryption for any of the services. You will note that the WEBADMIN and the CLI services are not listed. This is because they do not use a default scheme to bind ports.

____________________
| Service: | Port: |
|          |       |
|SMTP:     |  465  |
|WEBMAIL:  |  443  |
|POP3:     |  995  |
|IMAP:     |  993  |
|__________|_______|

Scenarios:

1. If you receive an error during the startup of the "Axigen" service, you may have another mail server installed or running. Before attempting to start or restart the "Axigen" service again, make sure the other application is uninstalled.

2. Use the "netstat" command to identify any other processes that may be using required ports:

a) Linux:netstat -tlpn
b) Solaris:netstat -an
c) Windows:Start Menu -> Run...
Type "cmd" to open a new windows terminal window and run:
netstat -anop TCP
 
3. Make sure no older version of Axigen is still running in case of an upgrade.
