New Features coming to Outbound Mail

Roller Network is pleased to pre-announce that several new features will be added to the Outbound Mail service within the next week. The following features are to be added:

  • Mail mirroring support for Outbound accounts
  • Mail forwarding (BCC) for Outbound accounts
  • IPv6 access filter to compliment the existing IPv4 filter
  • Option to send 5xx response for common DNS errors instead of 4xx

This will complete two items from the list, finalize IPv6 support for Outbound accounts, and adding one request. We’ll post another announcement at release time.

Colocation Services Pricing

We finally have a page up on the main website for colocation pricing:

http://www.rollernet.us/services/colo.php

Following in the footsteps of doing something unique to stand out from the pack, rack space is free and we only charge for bandwidth and power. If you have an 80PLUS certified power supply in the server you want to colocate, there is a discounted rate for being energy efficient.

If you’re looking towards the future of internet access, our colocation services have been dual-stack IPv6 enabled since 2005. We also use 208V circuits standard – including three phase – enough power to load a full rack. For our international audience this isn’t much of a surprise, but here in the USA a 120V single phase outlet is the status quo. A typical 20A 120V from other providers only gives you 1920VA. At 208V, we give you 3328VA to use, and that’s just the minimum.

We’re proud of our services and we apply the same standards to colocation that we have with our email services. If you have any questions or would like more details, contact us.

Send Mail Using IPv6!

If you’re feeling brave and have IPv6 connectivity, you can now submit mail to our Outbound Mail service (SMTP AUTH) over IPv6 by connecting to “smtpauth6.rollernet.us”. All of the same ports and TLS available under IPv4 also apply as we have simply dual-stacked the service. Please see “Submitting Outbound Mail via IPv6” on the forums for current limitations.

As far as we’re aware, Roller Network one of the very few – maybe even the first – provider in our arena to enable IPv6 for transport-level SMTP. This is quite a bit more substantial than simply making a website IPv6 available, so please send us feedback if you try it.

A new IPv6 section has also been added to the forums.

New: Sieve Plugins and ‘managesieve’ Port 2000 Open

We have decided to allow managesieve (tcp port 2000) from external clients. This will allow external tools to log in to the sieve and manage it directly rather than relying on our web-based interface alone. (However, be aware that some clients have TLS incompatibilities that may cause login to fail.)

As such, we have also enabled the ‘managesieve’ plugin for Roundcube webmail and added Avelsieve to SquirrelMail webmail. These interfaces may also be used as an alternative to writing rules directly even if you don’t use webmail.
