Additional Notes & Upgrade Information

With the X2 upgrade, a new default setting will take effect for each domain — automatically purging messages older than 30 days from the Trash and Spam folders.

Axigen X2 has an upgraded Cyren AntiVirus & AntiSpam engine and no longer includes the legacy Commtouch engine. If you are currently using Axigen with Commtouch, you will need to disable Commtouch and enable the new Cyren filter

A small number of customers with old Commtouch licenses will require a new X2 license for Cyren to work. Contact us to request a new X2 license

Known Issues

Delivery Status Notifications are currently not functional when requesting them via Outlook Connector.

The post-installation Axigen Configuration Wizard is sometimes rendered incorrectly when installing Axigen on Ubuntu 18.

The new profile creation in Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 is sometimes generating an error. This can be avoided by running "Troubleshoot Compatibility".
