Email Updates

From the desk of the SysOp

Hola Internautes !

Just a little announcement from the board. I’ve been able to fix some of the internal relay issues to make up for the fact the board itself isn’t able to receive email correctly with TLS.

The great part about this is that it gives a better way to seal off ports to the board that let spam get through.

Now with a little magic, Mailcow, and SpamHero I’m able to kill off the external SMTP port to the board and all mail is handled on network.

This also means all external email to the gateway is now encripted until the point of delivery within the internal network. At that point it’s relayed unencrypted within the private network since there isn’t much choice.

There is also a new outbound relay that I’m using which is a bit better than Duocircle, but you will notice a delay in some cases as emails can be flagged for a deep filter which adds a good few hours on to delivery (if it’s a bit too SPAMMY).

If you hit any problems, please let me know via Kevin on the board.
