On Wednesday June 1, we intend to upgrade the TRIUMF
email service. Planned improvements include:
Operating system upgrade from Scientific Linux 4.5 to CENTOS 5.6
Server upgrade from 32-bit quad-core to 64-bit 8-core Xeon
All user directories moved to locally-attached storage.
Upgraded IMAP server with shared libraries
We believe that this will address the current performance issues during large mailouts
Anticipated Problems
Based on previous upgrades, users may see some problems:
Stale Web cache in Squirrelmail:
reload page (in Firefox, hold down "shift" and cliock "reload")
Stale ARP entries:
On Linux, type "arp -d trmail" (may require root)
On Windows, at a command prompt (cmd.exe), type "arp -d 142.90.100.150"
Please report problems not listed here via
Helpdesk
or to Andrew Daviel at
(this address does not rely on trmail; you can mail from a home ISP or
via smtp.triumf.ca or another system)
