On January 8th of the Third Age (2004) Shire and Mordor
went to battle and Shire came out victorious! Welcome
to the new urgo.org server, shire.urgo.org. Enjoy your
stay.
– Urgo
So as you can see the new server is up and running although not all set up yet. Most things have been migrated over, but not everything is configured perfectly yet.
On this move I decided to go from POP3 (I didn’t use it both other people did) and /var/spool/mail mbox format to IMAP-SSL .maildir format. This is one of the big things I’ve been battling with over the past half week. At first postfix was being a pain and not accepting mail, but after I figured out how to match up my old sendmail configurations with postfix it seems to work fine now.
The next big thing I decided to do to the mail accounts was set up Spam Assassin to block incoming spam. This is what I’m currently working on right now, and as thankfully I do not get too much spam that is actually hurting me as it takes so long to see if anything I change affects the system in a positive way. I’m still not currently sure if a spam message gets moved over properly. Anyone that uses my system for mail I am watching the mail logs closely so I’ll try very hard to make sure you do not loose any mail.
Okay, well thats enough for today. Please if anyone notices a problem get in contact with me ASAP so I can remedy it. 🙂 I’ll leave you a slightly edited picture of what the new server, Shire, looks like. GENTOO POWERED!
