Axigen Mail Server 8.1.0
New Features
================================
FILTERS:
- a new embedded filter based on the technology created by Image Analyzer has been introduces for detecting sexually explicit image content;
- such content can be detected in attached images or in other type of attachments (MS Office 2010 files, ZIP archives) with embedded images;
- the filter can be configured from Axigen administrative services to use different constraints during the scanning process and to handle suspicious messages in multiple ways;
- the new filter is a Premium Add-on that can be activated on both incoming and outgoing message flow of the Premium Accounts.
SECURITY:
- access to an Axigen email account can be recovered when the user forgets the login username or password;
- forgotten username can be recovered when the user requests it explicitly: Axigen includes it in an email message sent to the personal (alternative) email address that was set in the Axigen account;
- forgotten password can be reset when the user requests it explicitly: Axigen allows the reset when the user answers correctly to a secret question that was set in the Axigen account or includes a password reset link in an email message sent to the personal (alternative) email address that was set in the Axigen account;
- credentials' recovery can be activated from the administrative services and is available in the Ajax-Webmail service.
Enhancements
================================
- STATISTICS: Enhanced usage reports are periodically generated by Axigen and sent to an email address specified by the administrator; these reports now includes total, maximum and average numbers of defined and used resources (Domains, Premium Accounts and Premium Add-ons) on each elapsed interval.
- CLUSTERING: The IMAP, POP3 and Webmail connections coming in the Front-End tier and accessing an Axigen account can be routed independently, without the use of a UserMap object; the server hosting the account is resolved through simple interrogation of the servers in the Back-End tier of the cluster on the CLI service.
- PROCESSING: embedded filters apply tags on the scanned messages that are quarantined; in the Quarantine view the messages can be selected using the tag applied by a filter; the messages can also be downloaded as .eml files in order to be inspected by the administrator.
- AJAX-WEBMAIL: The email messages can be individually saved as .eml files into the local file-system of the user; this save operation can be used for messages of any size.
- SECURITY: TLS 1.1 and 1.2 support is provided for Axigen services.
- CONFIG: All the versions of the overridden 'axigen.cfg' config file are stored in a separate folder working_directory/run/old_configs/, allowing the administrator to have access to previous Axigen configurations.
