Email Updates

We have made many updates to our Email configuration.
- Any Email account you create a quota (not your account quota) will get an Email alert when it’s above 85% full
- Enabled SMTP AUTH for outbound email on port 2525 (already on 25 and 587 ports)
- Upgraded SpamAssassin to 3.2.4 with anyone not using our dedicated anti-spam service
- Enabled many of the options within SpamAssassin to improve catching spam
- SMTP Port 2525 or 587 (the pseudo standard) can now be used when port 25 is blocked by your ISP
- Can create command alias pipes “|” without creating duplicate Emails. Great to process incoming Emails with a programming script
- Enabled nightly updates to get the latest SpamAssassin rules
Do the new ports (2525 and 587) accept SSL?
@Rob Marscher: They should, please report if they do not work. You will get a warning message since you currently do not have a real SSL cert (which is available for dedicated/VPS servers)
I used to have a root directory called webmail, with an index page that redirected to wherever the email interface was. The directory disappeared somehow, and when I recreated it I can’t get it to work. It works if I call it webbmail, or some misspelling like that, but not as webmail. I tried deleting it and starting over, and anyhing called webmail is just invisible to a browser. What sort of voodoo has taken over that directory?
@Joe: Please open up a ticket on which server you are hosted on and we’ll look into it. That “voodoo” you are referring to is puppet and a global apache Location probably.
