New Features in AXIGEN 2.0

AXIGEN 2.0 has a redesigned WebMail interface which now supports localization.
The new design defines a user-friendly GUI with multiple skin options.

	Another important new feature is the Address Book which gives users the possibility to select recipients from their personal contact list when composing new email messages. New addresses can be added to the existing address book when receiving new emails.
	WebMail users can also set vacation/out of the office messages within the new AXIGEN version. When not available, they can define and enable messages to be sent automatically as a response to all received emails.
	The Preview Pane is a new feature that enables the display of the message content in a pane below the message list. Another important feature regarding the WebMail display is the option to hide the deleted messages. Thus all messages selected for deletion will no longer be shown.
	To facilitate login procedures for multi-domain environments, AXIGEN 2.0 implements login domain selection. Users can select the domain from a drop-down list and then login with their username and password only.
	The Search function has also been enhanced by adding internationalized searches. Having this new feature, language-specific characters can now be used when running a search.

The internationalized search presented above for the WebMail service has been also embedded in the IMAP service. When running an IMAP search for any IMAP client, the search text may contain language-specific characters (i.e. using diacritics).

Embedded in its new Backup and Restore module, AXIGEN 2.0 uses a proprietary FTP server as front-end for the storage system. System administrators can perform online backups by retrieving storage objects (e.g. domains, mailboxes etc). The Restore operations are also performed online by uploading the objects that were previously backed up.

AXIGEN 2.0 implements a set of message acceptance policies at SMTP-connection level. The system administrator can configure and implement message acceptance policies and adjust them to best suit their security requirements. Incoming connections established via SMTP and the message flow can be easily managed using the established policies. Moreover, they allow adding headers, changing addresses and other such actions.

To further fine-tune email communication managementat at SMTP level, AXIGEN 2.0 implements Processing and Relay Policies.

The Processing policies correspond to the SMTP Processing module and enable administrators to define the NDR (Non-Delivery Receipt) text and the conditions when such a message is returned. As an example, NDR responses are sent when the specified recipient of an email message is invalid.

Relay Policies allow system administrator to customize SMTP Outgoing actions for all or part of the relayed email communication. For example, they can establish a certain address where all emails from a certain domain are relayed, or specify a username/password authentication before relaying emails to a certain address.

Starting with version 2.0, the AXIGEN Mail Server is also DomainKeys compliant. DomainKeys is an e-mail authentication system designed to verify both the DNS domain of an email sender and the message integrity. The DomainKeys specification has adopted aspects of Identified Internet Mail to create an enhanced protocol called DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM).
