Setting Up OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect Authentication for WebMail, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP
https://www.axigen.com/documentation/setting-up-oauth-2-0-openid-connect-authentication-for-webmail-smtp-pop3-and-imap-p750583833
Updated: June 13, 2024
Starting with Axigen X4, you can authenticate in the Axigen WebMail using OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect.
However, as IMAP / POP3 (and SMTP) clients have not yet adopted OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect as a standard, you don’t have this option out of the box. This causes a problem for end-users as they would need two different sets of credentia
IPv6 in the SMTP Outgoing Service
https://www.axigen.com/documentation/ipv6-in-the-smtp-outgoing-service-p47120701
Updated: February 4, 2021
In the default configuration, Axigen does not use the IPv6 network when sending outgoing messages. However, this behavior can be changed to make Axigen use IPv6 by using the CLI interface.
There is a CLI configuration option in the SMTP outgoing context that controls if Axigen uses IPv6 when sending outgoing messages.

IPv6 Support
https://www.axigen.com/documentation/ipv6-support-p45253586
IPv6 support is available starting starting with Axigen X (10.0).
Axigen is able to operate in dual stack (IPv4 / IPv6) environments.
Any incoming services can be enabled to operate over IPv6 by adding TCP/IP listeners (via CLI or WebAdmin) for IPv6 addresses. The SMTP outgoing service has to be configured via CLI for Axigen to use the IPv6 network (the conf
iCalendar Functionality

iCalendar support is deprecated and no longer supported.
Starting with Axigen X1 (10.1), CalDAV is the newly supported standard for calendar sync .
The iCalendar compatibility and support built into Axigen aims to provide data (contacts, meetings, tasks, etc.) and option setting synchronization
Additional Notes on IPv6 Support

IPv6 in SPF
Support for IPv6 ranges (ip6) has been added when parsing SPF records. SPF now queries AAAA records when remote address is IPv6, A records when remote address is IPv4 (i.e. SPF "a" queries AAAA records when the remote peer is IPv6, same for "mx", "ptr").
Note: IPv6 wrapped IPv4 address are not handled (i.e. they are treated as IPv6 addresses — th
Configuring IPv6
https://www.axigen.com/documentation/configuring-ipv6-p47120612
Starting with version X, Axigen is able to operate in mixed IPv4 / IPv6 environments.
Incoming services can be configured to accept incoming IPv6 connections by adding IPv6 addresses to the TCP/IP listeners that serve the respective service.
Axigen does not support IPv6 link local addresses (FE80::/64), nor IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.

Configuring an IPv6 Listener
https://www.axigen.com/documentation/configuring-an-ipv6-listener-p47120697
CLI
Adding a IPv6 listener for a service is no different than adding a IPv4 listener.
E.g. we identify the IP address that Axigen should listen on:
[root@centos6-dev]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:13:40:6B
inet addr:192.168.4.44 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

V2, CRM Configuration Style

Current packages of heartbeat 2 use an OCF provider for DRBD, which uses a deprecated command passed to the drbdadm application, which breaks the functionality of this script. Thus, the drbd OCF provider must be modified in order to use the role command instead of the deprecated state one. Please issue the following command on both nodes:

Auto-discovery for eM Client (via IMAP / POP3, CalDAV & CardDAV)

This article was built using eM Client 7.
eM Client attempts Auto-discovery (IMAP, POP, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV) only via HTTPS.
SSL connections (HTTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, and SMTPS) will work only if TLS 1.0 is enabled.
If HTTPS Auto-discovery connection fails (using POST), it will fail over on HTTP (using GET) — this will also fail as Axigen does not support thi
