"[Axigen's ] management interface, which uses a web browser, can operate both locally and remotely. Although simple to use, it provides access to all aspects of the software's operation and allows the administrator to fine-tune the configuration to suit individual requirements. Customisable performance graphs are available for most aspects of the system's operation, and the system has extensive logging options that can be configured as required.

Customer Testimonials
David Watkins, Australia
"Right from my initial evaluation through deployment and support, Axigen has been a pleasurable experience. Over the past three years, Axigen has been reliable and needed very little technical knowledge to achieve world-class outcomes. I have no hesitation in recommending the Axigen messaging solution."
Al-Hadi Juma - Halcon Real Estate LLC, United Arab Emirates
"The speed of the WebMail and WebAdmin interfaces is amazing and it saves a lot of work. I also love AXIGEN's update feature and its ease of installation. But what I like best is the possibility of defining incoming rules and acceptance policies based on SMTP. AXIGEN is a very good solution."
Enzo Baiotto - Eurologon Srl, Italy
"AXIGEN is a professional messaging solution, providing unique configuration possibilities and modular, integrated services. We have tested the product before purchasing it and found that it delivered exactly what we were looking for: a complete and secure mail server solution with professional groupware functionality and great overall performance."
David Banes - Cleartext Holdings Pty Ltd, Australia
"We at Cleartext have been using Axigen for our hosted email platform for a couple of years now and have been very happy with it and the support we get.
We've run various open source setups, commercial products like Exchange and @Mail, all of which required ongoing tweaking and had terrible support.
Axigen Mail Server runs 24x7 without fault and if you need configuration help their tech support is 24x7, this means we've reduced our man hours to support our hosted email platform by around 90%.
In fact we're so pleased with it we're about to start selling it into the Australian market for companies to use in-house."

Gustavo Lozano - Noldata, Colombia
"I have installed Axigen for several companies, using the Business, Enterprise and Service Provider editions, and I must say that it is one of the fastest mail delivery solutions in the market.
It stores emails in a custom designed format, not only to produce speed but also to give the storage some better security and features. As Axigen is designed to work from small systems to platforms with millions of users, a strong storage is needed and in that Axigen is state of the art.
There is also a new webmail with the latest Axigen version [7.2], one based on AJAX. It is the best webmail I have used in several years - and I normally test Ovi, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo and others. Axigen definitely keeps up the pace.
I should also like to mention the full security implementations that Axigen is capable of, with several Antivirus and Antispam possibilities. That alone could cover an entire article. Such a good product!"

"I've recently had to take advantage of Axigen's technical support services. Their response was rapid and the replies I received were detailed; and while I hope I don't have to call on them too often, I was impressed so I will not be dreading it if I do."
Arlan Dimalanta - Philusa Corporation, Philippines
"Your Axigen/Linux installation has been ROCK SOLID since it was implemented."
Shari McMillan-Strack - SchoolCenter, USA
"A reason for which we chose Axigen was kind of a unique requirement to us: we needed the ability to skin the product. More precisely, we required our company branding to be integrated in the product that went out to our customers. We also wanted the ability to skin the product at an even deeper level in order to create customer specific skins per domain. Our customers are school districts and they are very happy to pay additional design fees to have their school mascot, their school logo displayed on their internal email. So we found that as an actual benefit.
The calendar and collaborative tools also pushed Axigen on the top of our decision list. Not only that this is a major differentiator among the mail server vendors that we have reviewed, but it will also give us a competitive edge in the market.
To all these features and benefits adds Axigen’s technical support service: they are available 24x7x365 and anytime we have an issue, or a question, they are very responsive. When we came aboard, we had a lot of unique requirements and they satisfied those just for us. When we moved to Axigen, or we found a bug, they catered to our needs. I think support is among the top reasons for recommending Axigen."

"We partnered with Axigen three years ago and have been distributing their products ever since. At this point in time, we have established the Axigen Mail Server all over Germany, in various companies, from SMBs to large ISPs. Axigen is a very well designed and reliable messaging solution for businesses of all sizes and it fulfils customers’ needs. The feedback we received from them (regarding fresh Axigen installs or migrations from other solutions) was very positive.
From our point of view, Axigen is a highly competitive mail server product that will be part of our main business here in Germany – it has a huge potential. The acceptance on the market is great, as also reflected by various reviews in professional journals and magazines. Finally, we can add that our business partnership with Axigen is very good. Their support in technical and sales matters is fast and professional all the way."

"The features that Axigen Mail Server can offer are normally found only in mail servers that you would pay through the nose for. We were very impressed with its powerful, sophisticated administration features and webmail interface. Also, everyone we have dealt with has been friendly, helpful and informative. We would highly recommend Axigen both for the software provided and for the people."
Mike Werth - Shamrock Network Technologies LLC, USA
"I have recently installed version 6.2.2 of the ISP Mail Server. I had a potential customer hosting their email with a competitor using iMail. At first, they were a bit hesitant about switching and hosting with me, but I convinced them to give it a try. Both my customer and I are amazed at the latest functionality you have put into the product. It's much faster than their old host and the web interface is much more user friendly. They especially like the fact that I was able to give them the ability to manage their own accounts.
I have had Axigen since version 1 or 2, I think, and I just keep getting happier with each new version. Keep up the good work!!!"

Wesley Keene - Keene Services Inc., USA
"From the beginning Axigen has been a breeze. After researching and attempting to implement several open source solutions for messaging, I found myself frustrated, especially considering the ease of use the 'major' messaging solution provided. Then I discovered Axigen. The install was simple, a single script is used to install the appropriate binaries to their locations and provide appropriate configuration defaults. This is in stark contrast to other open source alternatives. In particular, the separation of SMTP and delivery servers (IMAP, POP, etc) is removed. Axigen provides literally one executable for all mail server functions, including WebMail and the WebAdmin tool. In my experience this is rarely found in other Linux based messaging systems.
As a system administrator of a hosted mail provider, I find Axigen easy to use when doing the basics and more advanced tasks, alike. Adding new users does not require creation of any Unix accounts, directories, or scripts. Nor does it require adding them to any LDAP directory (although connection to such a database is available, if needed). This task can be accomplished entirely from the WebAdmin tool, which is automatically available with a default install and even provides its own web server (not relying on complex Apache configurations, or the like). Any other function, including advanced SMTP filtering, can be achieved in exactly the same way. This is a great improvement from not only open source solutions on the market today, but even the market leading messaging solutions. I can administer Axigen from anywhere, without ever resorting to an SSH session, or anything more complex than a web browser. This is made possible because Axigen is a full application with its own data store, not relying on any so-called 'standard' components to be installed on the operating system (like external POP/IMAP servers, or even SQL servers).
Axigen also appears committed to supporting major standards. With version 7, users can use ActiveSync to connect their mobile devices (including the iPhone) to an Axigen server with no external servers or middle men. This is a big improvement for users on the go, and there is no need for expensive 3rd party servers that reduce reliability, add complexity, and multiply cost.
Finally, one of the best features of Axigen is their excellent customer support. I have utilized them on a number of occasions, mostly at strange hours, and found them to be quick with a useful reply at every turn. They will navigate you through everything from setup, to exotic scripts supporting complicated SMTP delivery rules. I know because I've used it myself, and even as a well versed user of Axigen, find their replies to be useful and timely, even now.
I'd encourage you to give Axigen a try, for free, and see how it stacks up with your current offering. I can almost guarantee you will be surprised with the results. Its reliability and conservative use of resources will be attractive features even if you don't need any special features."

"We have recently migrated our mail server solution from Lotus Domino to Axigen Enterprise Edition. Thanks to Axigen’s multi-domain capabilities, we are now able to manage our hosted customers more efficiently. By using the Large Scale Solution add-on, we had absolutely no problem in implementing a multi-server, front-end/back end solution.
Ever since using Axigen, we have also noticed that maintenance operations on the mail server have been greatly reduced. So far, our Axigen mail server solution has run flawlessly. [...] We’re very satisfied with the type of support provided by Axigen whose Support Team is extremely reactive and competent."

You are one of the very few companies in the world that can provide such excellent services. I hope this continues."
Alfredo Alvarado - Magic Transport Inc, Puerto Rico
"From Axigen itself to the service you've offered us from the very beginning, it has all been excellent. The product is beautiful and by now the service too. Again, thank you very much for everything."
Uwe Eischens - Bach Holding AG, Germany
"We are hosting 7 branches with almost 400 users in the automotive sector. The Axigen solution has replaced our old mail and groupware infrastructure consisting of Exim4, SpamAssassin, ClamAV and OpenGroupware.org in a
hassle-free way. This includes the migration of various large IMAP accounts.
The configuration is widely self-explanatory and has the opportunity to project most of the common constellations right out of the box, though it has the flexibility to set up even very complex infrastructures of course. Our IT compartment is saving a lot of time in managing the accounts because of the functional and intelligent way of building user groups and their proper rules. Once setup, adding and modifying users is a 1-minute job.
The possibility to get a easy to read, chart-based overview of the server load and storage helps a lot in planning resources, bandwidth and prioritization. The archiving of the complete mail traffic, which is required by law in Germany, can be done with Open Source software like MailArchiva due to the Axigen AXIMilter interface.
The support is superb in every way. The response time on technical questions is surpassingly fast, improvement suggestions are always welcome and (what is NOT self-evident) became in fact implemented in the updates.
The user-interface of the WebMail module and the Outlook connector were instantly accepted by our clients. They are working with the tools from day one without the usual 'I-want-my-old-software-back' complains, and this says it all.
Last but not least, a word about the pricing, which is quite moderate for sure, particularly compared to other groupware solutions."

"We consider the Axigen Mail Server the best possible solution for the Linux platform. With groupware and collaboration features now enabled, we are greatly improving our internal work-flow, using features not available all together in any other product. The stability of the product, combined with the robust Linux platform, makes the Axigen Mail Server extremely reliable; one of the few products that can run really unattended for months.
The technical support team deserves special credit for making our transition from the previous version seamless and for answering to all our questions instantly. Such a level of technical support is indicative of an excellent, well-designed product and of a company really caring for their client’s satisfaction."

"Before Axigen, KnightWorks Hosting used several different open source email solutions. When issues arose, we would spend valuable time searching for answers on the Internet.
Many of our corporate clients were used to expensive Microsoft Exchange Server systems, and we are now able to fulfill their needs. Axigen offers similar capabilities at lower overall pricing, and this combined with the stability of Linux and clustering allows us to provide highly available email systems that business today requires.
The support we get from Axigen is the best we have experienced in the software business."

"Axigen has an extremely flexible configuration system. So far, the system has been able to accomplish every task we have handed it. The product appears to be evolving at an amazing pace. I can’t wait to see what future versions contain.
We have been very impressed with the level of detail provided in the filtering and auto-responder features. In numerous cases we’ve found the environment gives you the power of a detailed script without having to do any of the scripting yourself.
The smooth transition from our old email system was a pleasant surprise as well. The fact that their product seamlessly 'dropped' into our current Linux based infrastructure so smoothly was a real plus. Overall, we are very pleased with Axigen and feel that their tech support has been extremely responsive to our needs and questions.
We would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants an enterprise class mail system, but does not want the hassle, price tag or Windows server environment required by Exchange."

"We felt Communigate Pro was equal to AXIGEN in terms of performance and scalability, but its cost of ownership was much higher. As a result, we selected AXIGEN and purchased it on an unlimited license basis. AXIGEN is very stable and fast. Moreover, its licensing options perfectly meet our requirements as provider of free email services with web-based access for more than 4 million users."
Paul Andrik, Netherlands
"AXIGEN is a secure and powerful mail server. It has got the security and stability of a UNIX system and the ease of administration of Windows.
Axigen supports several antivirus applications which prevent the risk of contagious emails. Moreover, establishing spam filters is a very simple operation. Axigen uses the DomainKeys technology, first introduced by Yahoo, by which e-mails are signed with a digital key that helps indicate that the server and mail are from your domain and not from another (SPAM) mail server. In addition, the support for SPF (IP validation) and DNR make this mail server complete.
When using Sendmail in combination with an IMAP-server (Dovecot, for example) the risk of storage overloads is very high. As compared to this, Axigen's database stores the data more efficiently. As a result, the response time is very fast. Also, the support for IMAP/POP3 over SSL or TLS makes Axigen even more secure.
The possibility of sharing folders and agendas with other users, now available in Axigen v6.0, is a big step forward and a good reason to switch over to Axigen. Until now, this functionality was in fact only offered by large and more expensive software such as MS Exchange and Lotus Notes.
Just to mention, setting up and managing the Axigen Mail Server is very simple. Everything is web-based and browser independent. Furthermore, the Axigen backup (by means of FTP) is fast and safe.
Therefore, if you are looking for a complete mail server with the functionalities of MS Exchange or Lotus Notes, but with the stability of Linux, Axigen is the mail server for you."

James Travis Szarka - ebackup Inc, Canada
"Our company had been using all sorts of email servers to host our customers’ mail. We have gone through qmail, Sendmail, Exchange servers and Bynari servers. We have come to the conclusion that the Axigen server is the best of the breed product. It is very easy to install, configure and start email flowing.
I have been very impressed with how easy it was to migrate the customers over from our Exchange servers. At the increasing cost of the Exchange servers, we need something that would withstand the increasing amount of customers and customer email data without killing the bank account. We have put the Axigen servers through real life testing and the product has room to spare. We are very excited to see all the new features in the next version. Our plan is to move all existing customers from our Exchange server to the Axigen server by the end of this month. I have recommended the product to many other resellers, providers and will continue to do so.
Axigen support staff have been able to help me with my various issues at all hours of the day and night. They were extremely helpful for me, setting up all of the special adjustments that my customers needed. I appreciate all the help and special attention that the customer support line has given me. Again, thank you and keep up the great service."

I have recommended the product to many other resellers, providers and will continue to do so.
Axigen support staff have been able to help me with my various issues at all hours of the day and night. They were extremely helpful for me, setting up all of the special adjustments that my customers needed. I appreciate all the help and special attention that the customer support line has given me. Again, thank you and keep up the great service."

"I've been working with your product for almost a month and it works great. I've been using the 1 server and 5 email accounts version, and the support has been great. Thanks a lot for your kind assistance."
Michael Petersen - Borelli og Keldlarsens Anpartsselskab, Denmark
"I had been searching on the Internet for an easy and manageable mailserver that would meet the requirements of a small company mainly running Linux. Last year, I found Axigen Mail Server and installed its free version. I have been using it up to now, when I am upgrading to v.5 to get the new functionalities and stay safe for the future. I haven't had any problems at all with the installation or daily operations with Axigen."
David Gray - CESS Ltd., United Kingdom
"AXIGEN makes the rock solid UNIX mail an easily deployable solution for whatever size your company is and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to host their own mailing system.
Technical Support, free for the first year...*Technical Support from AXIGEN is simply EXCELLENT* The e-mails I received on my queries were clear and concise, told me exactly what I wanted to know. They can even replicate your system on their test rig to give the absolute best solution to your query! Brilliant!
Once installed, why would you use anything else? You want a summary, need a mail system? Look no further than AXIGEN, you won't be disappointed."

"I have installed and am running the Axigen Mail Server. After a few configuration and sending mail issues which were sorted out very quickly and professionally by your support team and excellent reading material on your form, all is working as it should. Thanks."
Henk Walraven - Luminext, Netherlands
"This is by far the best support I have ever had on any application in the past 18 years of computing. I have never been helped so fast, so accurate and as friendly as with Axigen. Even when I was still using a free start-up version of Axigen (for private use) the support was great and fast. This was the reason for me to start using the Axigen Business edition and I intent to advise anyone to start using it."
Wolfgang Kaml, USA
"I believe that the Axigen Mail Server is a real superior product - the web interface is outstanding, the configuration options endless, very powerful, hence I think some of the documentation needs to be more of a guide book, than "if you check this, it's on' - I made that comment in a posting. This would take some load off of your excellent support team and keep them focused on hard core enterprise solutions, that's where the real money sits!"
Len Cossette, USA
"Thanks for the time on this. Some other companies should follow your lead in tech support. Well done!"
Erdem Uygar - Tuninglinx.com, Turkey
"I am in the business since year 2000 and this is the fastest I have ever seen, and the product also seems lightning fast.
Please do forward this part of my e-mail, or this e-mail to your manager, as I believe he would be happy to hear how customers are satisfied by a 'customer support' department working that fast. [This has nothing to do with the problem being originated from my Outlook Express]
Thanks again for the great support!"

"I would further like to add that not once has my mail server been down or off line. If there was any problem, it was sorted out quickly with your help."

"No doubt, Axigen Mail Server is powerful, secure, easy to configure, easy to run, and with a few commands, I have ONLINE my own mail server. In half an hour of 'digging' I decided that Axigen is the best product for my needs."
Scott Rippee - hypexr.org, USA
"I gave AXIGEN a try and was impressed by how easy and quick it was to get up and running. Also impressive was the large number of distributions they package for, including Gentoo! fatpenguinblog.com"
Nick Snels - Jobaria, Belgium
"I have recently started my own internet business. In order to keep the initial setup costs low, I chose a Linux server, with an open source webserver, database and mailserver.
My initial thought was to try and deploy Postfix. I tried to get Postfix to work, which was very difficult even to get the basics to work. I had found a good book on Postfix, but even with the book I couldn't get it to work. Even if I could get Postfix to work, I also had to install a virus scanner and a spam filter. And all this had to work nicely together with Postfix. This seemed like a daunting task so I looked for an easier solution.
So I did a search on the internet and the first product that appeared was Axigen. But wait, it isn't free! Or is it? Yes, there was a free edition of Axigen available, so I decided to try it out. The installation was a breeze, one command and some initial configurations and you are up and running. Launch the web-based admin module and you can start configuring Axigen.
Setting up multiple domains, with several users and disabling unwanted services is very easy and painless. I have had some minor problems with Axigen to get it to work the way I wanted it. But after contacting the support service, I was able to overcome them very quickly.
The support service is really awesome, the best I have ever experienced from any company. You get an answer within the hour, even when you are a non-paying customer. I even got replies in weekends in the middle of the night. Really amazing! Conclusion: Axigen is a secure, fast and reliable mailserver with amazing support and I love using it."

"AXIGEN is, in my opinion, the best commercial, integrated mail solution for *unixes. The *current* version is fully featured and seems to be very secure compared to alike solutions. I think a Windows version would seriously challenge the dominance of such programs as MailEnable and MDaemon."
Bogdan Nicolae - More Results, Romania
"Switching from a remote hosting provider to AXIGEN Mail Server installed locally proved to be a success for our company. We can now see significant improvements: easier administration, reduced external traffic and remote access to email via Web mail."
Dwayne Dirk - Custom Security Systems, USA
"Axigen is one of the easiest, flexible and most dependable mail servers on the market. It is by far the most outstanding product of its kind I have seen! Let me say, the latest version of Axigen is a "Dream Come True.""
Joe Nolasco, USA
"Without a doubt, Axigen Mail Server 2.x is strong, powerful and secure, my experience with Axigen Mail Server 2.x gone away of my imagination, easy to configure, easy to run, and just one click puff I have my own Mail server running in seconds. Axigen Mail Server 2.x comes with a nice user interface and improvement technology."
Tony Godfrey - Falconer Technologies, USA
"I was looking for a lab that would easily explain how to setup and configure a Linux mail server. Axigen was the easiest and most powerful that I came across. I have also suggested it to customers that want an alternative to their M/S Exchange servers."
Alina Nemes - Rol.ro, Romania
"The 75 000 messages waiting to be sent and the high server load were often resulting in server downtime. Now, thanks to AXIGEN innovative architecture and effective filtering system, we no longer have to deal with this kind of situations"
