AXIGen

The AXIGen mail server is a popular groupware server for the Linux platform. Refer to http://www.axigen.com/ for more information. Follow the below steps to forward traffic from AXIGen to MailArchiva.

AXIGen Configuration

1. Open the AxiGen Webadmin Interface (available at http://<hostname>:9000)
2. Login using "admin" and the associated password
3. Navigate to Security & Filtering -> Acceptance & Routing -> Advanced Settings. Here, press the 'Add Acceptance/Routing Rule' Button.
4. Type a suggestive Rule name such as 'mailarchiva_define', then in the Actions section select the Add filter option from the Filters category and press Add Action.
5.  Type a name for the new filter, and fill the Address field with the connection address of Mailarchiva's MILTER listener.
   By default, this listener is available on port 8092, therefore you need to use the following address: inet://127.0.0.1:8092
6. Click the Save Configuration button.
7. Click the Add Acceptance/Routing Rule' button (This new filter will be used for actually calling the one we defined before.)
8.  Type a suggestive name such as 'mailarchiva_execute', then in the Actions section select the Execute filters option from the Filters category and press Add Action.
9. Fill the Name pattern field with the name of the previously defined filter, in our case 'mailarchiva':
10. Press the Save configuration button in order to activate the rule.
