New Options for Outbound Mail

We’ve added two new advanced options for Outbound Mail accounts:

  • Allow identities on single-user account
  • Allow any valid subdomain

These advanced options allow  some of the restrictions on single-user and any-user type accounts to be modified. The first one allows the “left hand side” to vary on single-user accounts (such as for identities). The second one allows matching subdomains of the configured domain to be accepted as valid. The default setting for these options is disabled, which preserves the original behavior of the account types.

IP Address Change for rollernetstatus.com

We had to do an unplanned change of the IP addresses for the rollernetstatus.com site due to chronic packet loss issues that were resulting in excessive false pages from Nagios  (typically during the early morning hours). The VPS host says this should fix the problem, so we’ll see.

  • IPv4 176.58.89.17
  • IPv6 2a00:dd80:3c::1e

UPDATE: So far it’s been well behaved without the false pages.

PowerDNS 3.0 Upgrade

As promised, we’re going to be upgrading our PowerDNS authoritative servers from 2.9 to 3.0 in order to address the previously mentioned long TXT records and AXFR support limitations. We will perform the upgrade on Saturday, August 13 starting at 10:00 UTC-8. We expect the upgrade to be transparent.

At that time long TXT record support will go live (they’re already supported in the ACC, just not publishable) and we’ll start working on the front end to manage AXFR. We appreciate your patience.
