AXIGEN BLOG: Axigen Adminstration Scripts

Dear Reader,

If your organization is using Axigen as the mail server, then the below mentioned scripts, those provided by Axigen and few of them customized by me and my friends would be useful for basic and advanced adminstration task of the mail server which is not an easy task from the front-end called webadmin

All the scripts uses the basic python CLI module available from Axigen website (Click Here)

NOTE: For any python scripts to be run, make sure that cli.py is included in the path

For any Axigen related python scripts that needs to be executed, make sure that the file – cli2.py must be there in the same path.

How to generate list of email-address and other attributes of an account for a domain or complete setup?

One may require a user-list of accounts currently configured for a domain or all the domains hosted on a setup. This can be achieved by the means of list-accounts.py script.

aab@test.com

aabl@test.com
