[uklinux-status] New Mail Server

[status@uklinux.net]

Mon 12th August, 2002 13:00 - New Mail Server - Lance Davis 

There has been a problem with the new mail server relaying mail this 
morning for dialled in users - caused by a file being updated in the 
chrooted postfix environment when it was being accessed outside of it :( 
- the problem has now been resolved 

The new mail server now seems to be working well for sending outgoing 
mail, although there may be a slight difference in configuration for 
free account users who insist on using SMTP AUTH when it is unnecessary 
because they are dialled in - the difference being that they will now 
only be able to authenticate for SMTP using the same username that they 
used to dial in. 

There are still users trying to relay mail who are not in the 
authentication database and need to update their password, we are 
contacting those that try - to advise them. 

I am still testing the pop3 service on the new server - if you want to 
try it then its is on port 1101 on smtp.uklinux.net , but it will only 
have your old mail spool (if any) - it isnt getting live incoming mail 
yet. 

There are also people still trying to access pop3 email on 
smtp.uklinux.net .....
