Enhancements
===================================
CLUSTER:
-- In a cluster, routing of the connections and the requests for all services is possible now without using user-maps, because front-end and back-end servers can detect where the defined domains and accounts are located in the back-end tier. This is done by using a cluster-specific mode of the CLI service running on all servers. This way a cluster with a specific description placed in the axigen.cfg file can work autonomously, without the need of any LDAP service. Using this mechanism authentication performed in front-end tier is possible as well.
DOMAINS:
-- GROUPS: Permissions can be set for the members of a group to be allowed to send messages using the email address of the group as the originator's address.
-- GROUPS: For a specific group, two new important settings can be configured only from CLI: who is allowed to send messages to the group and who will receive messages sent to the address of the group. For these settings it is possible to apply options like: members of the group, nobody, any user defined in the same domain, server or cluster. Using these settings, flexible rules of message acceptance and distribution can be defined.
-- FILTERS: Domain-level and user-level Sieve filters are now kept in the domain storage instead of the file-system and they are available for the integrated backup / restore operations.
ADMINISTRATION:
-- ADMIN-ACL: More granular administrative permissions have been introduced; with these permissions it is possible to define a more refined and controllable delegation of the administrative operations.
-- ADMIN-LIMITS: New parameters have been introduced in the Domain Admin Limits in order to manage the limitation of Premium Add-ons available at domain-level.
CLI:
-- The "Import Contacts" capability available to a user from the Ajax-Webmail interface is now available to an administrator through the CLI service in order to help a user keep his contacts from a legacy system.
LOG:
-- Tracking of the email messages exchanged through SMTP service between the servers of a cluster is possible by inspecting the value of Message-ID header reported in the log files.
-- Tracking of the email messages redirected by Sieve filters is possible by inspecting the relevant records in the log files corresponding to redirect operations.
PROCESSING:
-- In order to prevent unnecessary NDRs, the en-queue operation of the received messages can be slightly delayed to perform full recipient validation for the messages.
-- In a user-map-free cluster of servers, the Domain Message Appender can now be used with the intended results.
