The past year has seen the mail server deteriorate from quality to almost worthless. The amount of spam was overwhelming and the server itself began to die a slow death towards the end of the year. It got so bad that false errors were being generated reporting full mailboxes and bounced messages when delivery actually took place. With our constant focus on improving our services, we've invested in new hardware and software to make these issues part of the past. Our new mail system employs a very powerful central mail server capable of handling all our current mail as well as growth into the future. With the mail server, we've invested in a spam firewall appliance which is being fine tuned as we speak and should handle the majority of spam emails. Our goal is to quickly improve the mail service for everyone. In the near future, we will be expanding the email service to be fully managed through your profile editor and to include options to setup mail accounts for our other domains, such as AK47.Net. The goal is to allow you the freedom to manage the services you use, however you feel fits your desires. This will carry over to the next project which is the upcoming Media Server. |
So does that mean we can have [email protected]??  I might have to upgrade my account once mine expires!

 You should ALWAYS renew your account!!!Nice work on the mail server Goatboy!!! |

I used to have my login info saved so all I had to do was hit the log in button to check my mail. I now am prompted to put in username and password. I've tried the three variations I use, but nothing works. Is our username still, for example... [email protected], or just our name here... wsmac ? Thanks |
You can click on "Edit Profile" and re-sync your passwords. |
There's a thread in the team forum which covers this and a few other questions/issues. Basically, the new mail server login is your site login ( [email protected] ) and your site password. The old mail server is still available for people who might have left emails there and need to get them transfered over. |
If you support IMAP these may help some people as well. http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapmigration/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/migrationtool/ Also, you can make an IMAP connection with any client such as evolution or thunderbird to both systems and copy/paste between servers. The latter may lose date/time stamps on messages. Just browsing, if this is dup info my appologies. |
