Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce that our transition from our old mail system (Postbox) to our new mail system (Letterbox) has been made successfully.
The transition was made with minimal impact on service as far as we can tell, aside from a slight delay in mail delivery as the DNS change propagated. At this time all major providers appear to have picked up this change and are now delivering to Letterbox successfully. As part of this changeover, we started from scratch with our Bayesian database. While initial training has been completed and appears to be operating well, further tuning will take place over the coming week. Mailing list moderators who see an increase in spam volume should please leave that spam in the moderation queue and contact Sysadmin so we can train the filter with it. At this time the only degradation in service is for Yahoo users, who may experience a delay in mail being delivered for the next few days while our new IP address is "warmed up" in their reputation databases. Once this is completed they should receive mail again as normal. No mail will be lost as a result of this. This condition was expected (and occurred when we migrated from KTown to Postbox) We'd like to thank Bytemark (bytemark.co.uk) for sponsoring the Letterbox server. Should anyone have any queries regarding the status of the system, please contact sysad...@kde.org, or file a Sysadmin ticket. Thanks, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin
