Mail server authentication would be required from now on to relay all mails from our Linux Servers

Dear Customers, In order to control the outgoing spam issue on the server we would be implementing the mail relays through all scripts using mail server authentication only. If your scripts are set to send the mails through localhost then you'll have to update them to ensure that you are not using sendmail as the mail tranport agent rather use the smtp of the mail server to send the mails. You must have a valid mail box and have its credentials updated in your script which could be used to relay mails. In the absence of this the mails would not get relayed and you'll get an error. We hope you'd appreciate that this is done to control the no. of outgoing spam from the server. Warm Regards, Technical Team Read more » | |

Dear Customers,
Update 2: Mail Server migration has been completed successfully. ================================================ These are the old IP's : ================================================ ================================================ Replace the above IP's with the following set of new IP's once the migration has completed successfully ================================================ Please note that you have to make these changes only if you are using any third party nameservers, if you are using WIPL's provided nameservers I.e. ns3.dnsracks.com/ns3.wiplon.com and ns4.dnsracks.com/ns4.wiplon.com then you don't have to make any changes. Important 1. If you are not able to open new webmail then you can use url http://69.175.7.170 2. If mails are not getting downloaded or not getting outside from your outlook then use IP: 69.175.7.170 in outlook incomming and outgoing mail settings. *********************************************************************** Update 1: ================================================ These are the old IP's : ================================================ ================================================ Replace the above IP's with the following set of new IP's once the migration has completed successfully ================================================ Please note that you have to make these changes only if you are using any third party nameservers, if you are using WIPL's provided nameservers I.e. ns3.dnsracks.com/ns3.wiplon.com and ns4.dnsracks.com/ns4.wiplon.com then you don't have to make any changes. *********************************************************************** In order to provide you with better performance & more stable servers we would be upgrading our mail server SHARK to heavy duty servers with Intel Xeon E31230 CORE Processors & minimum 8 GB RAM, The migration details for the servers are given below : Servers Impacted: SHARK.DNSRACKS.COM (SmarterMail Server) Why the need of Migration ? : As a part of our Quality assurance policy we regularly upgrade our infrastructure to meet the Industry standards & to protect the servers from any possible sign of crashes/downtimes. Since hard drive of the servers are mechanical devices hence we have a time frame of upgrading the hardware the moment it reaches its 3 years running phase. Both of these servers have nearly completed their three years of operations and hence we feel its right time to move them to heavy duty servers which would not only improve the overall performance but also offer the latest hardware to meet the industry standards. Migration Description: During this time we will be migrating the data & sites to a new & powerful server with the following configuration : Intel Xeon E31230 3.20 Ghz Processors (R) series Time The Migration would start at Evening 4.30 PM GMT 5.30 + (IST) time and would be completed by Morning 10:00 AM (January 27, 2011). Migration Date : January 26, 2012 (Thursday) Maintenance Impact: As a result of this move, you should expect the sites to be down during a significant portion of the above noted maintenance windows. Actual amounts of downtime will vary from site to site due to the large number of sites we would be migrating. We would be providing an exact time frame for the migration in next 24 - 72 hours, along with that you'll be required to change the IP's for your DNS Service as these would be changed as well. Please check the instruction set that would be followed in the next mail. Communications Plan: Our helpdesk will be fully functional and staffed during the migrations. We will also be posting periodic updates in the announcements section to keep you fully informed of the status of all migrations. Please do not use our emergency contact numbers during the migration, as this will just slow our work. We appreciate your business and will do everything in our power to minimize downtime while safely and securely moving servers. Warm Regards, Team WIPL Read more » | |
