[ISG News] Mail Server Migration Part 2: Mailing Lists
by Axel Beckert 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Mail Server Migration Part 2: Mailing Lists' On Thursday, 18th of February 2010, starting at 5pm there will be a mail service downtime for migrating the D-PHYS and FIRST mailing lists to the new mail server. During the downtime, no new mail can be sent or received and neither access to the mailing lists' web interface nor to the archive will be possible. E-mails sent to D-PHYS during the migration will be held back on the sender’s e-mail servers. Already received mail will be still accessible via IMAP or POP3. Together with the mailing list migration, there will come a policy change with regards to mailing lists: All future mailing lists will be only "@lists.phys.ethz.ch" instead of "@phys.ethz.ch" as before. Already existing mailing lists will be reachable under both, old "@phys.ethz.ch" or "@first.ethz.ch" as well as new "@lists.phys.ethz.ch" addresses. The web interface of the mailing lists will change from https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist and https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/admin/mailinglist to https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/listinfo/mailinglist and https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/admin/mailinglist. There will be redirects from the old addresses. In future, https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/ will be for webmail only. If you use e-mail filter rules for one of those lists, please notice that in all mailing list mail headers (i.e. all those headers starting with "List-" as well as the "Sender" header) the list's hostname will change from phys.ethz.ch to lists.phys.ethz.ch, too. Please adjust your filter rules appropriately.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Maintenance downtime of a group server' Monday morning, February 8th 2010, we have to replace a broken system harddisk on one of the group fileservers. This will cause a downtime between 07:00 and approximately 07:30. This will result in a short service interruption for all groupdrives! To protect you from losing or corrupting any of your files, it is best to close all open files on the group directories.

[ISG News] WebDAV gateway to our file servers
by Christian Herzog 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

ISG News has posted a new item, 'WebDAV gateway to our file servers' If you're on the road a lot, you might be familiar with our webhome service which provides universal access to your home directory. While this can be a life-saver in some cases, there are a few limitations: a) you only get access to your home directory, b) it's only viable for single-file operations. The protocol of choice for remote file access across public firewalled networks is WebDAV. We are now happy to announce a WebDAV gateway to our file servers. Should you be interested in using this service, please read our documentation page.

[ISG News] Mail Server Migration Part 1: IMAP/POP3
by Axel Beckert 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Mail Server Migration Part 1: IMAP/POP3' On Monday, November 16th, starting at 6pm we will migrate the D-PHYS IMAP and POP3 server to new hardware. Since this also includes converting all 450 GB of mailboxes on that server, the migration will take several hours. During the migration it will not be possible to access any of the D-PHYS e-mail services (receiving, sending or accessing your mails, webmail). E-mails sent to D-PHYS during the migration will be held back on the sender's e-mail servers. After the migration you may need to resynchronise your e-mail client (e.g. Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird) with the new IMAP server. Please read our mail server migration wiki page in case you use one of the e-mail clients mentioned above, use your own procmail filter rules or experience other problems after the migration. Over the next months we will move all mail services from our old mail server "wiggis" to the new mail server step by step. The upcoming migration of the IMAP and POP3 services is the first user-visible step in the whole migration process. To make sure you always connect to our current IMAP/POP3/SMTP/Webmail server please do not use the host name "wiggis" anymore. Use only the following hostnames, even when connecting to the IMAP server by SSH for instance: IMAP (incoming mail server): imap.phys.ethz.ch POP3 (incoming mail server): pop.phys.ethz.ch Webmail: https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/ SMTP (outgoing mail server): mail.phys.ethz.ch Webmail, SMTP (outgoing mail server) and the mailing lists will be migrated to the new mail server in later steps which will be announced separately. Our virus and spam filters have already been running successfully on the new mail server for a few weeks.
