We’ve started banning connections by IP address into our SMTP AUTH service that are making excessive connection requests with blank login names. This came about after we noticed multiple IP addresses flooding our server by attempting to connect once a second without ever attempting to send a login name. We consider this abusive as it [...]

Entering a search term will limit the displayed maps to those matching the search term. Email address and mail box forwarding types are now displayed intermixed; previously they were grouped by type [...]
Roundcube Update to 0.5.1
This Saturday, February 12, we will be upgrading our installation of Roundcube to version 0.5.1. In the past, Roundcube updates usually resulted in something breaking. We have done our best to test everything we were aware of from past upgrades, but if there are problems with this update, please let us know and we will [...]

Introducing Complete IPv6 Support
Earlier this month we posted a Sprint maintenance notice and hinted at a larger announcement. This event set the stage for this announcement: complete IPv6 support for our portfolio of services. Sprint needed to install a software upgrade on the router we’re connected to in order to offer dual-stack native IPv6 to our existing circuit. [...]
Changes: SpamAssassin, Slow Delivery, New Billing Notice
We have a couple minor changes to announce: We have upgraded our incoming mail server pool to use the latest version of SpamAssassin, version 3.3.1. While it was released earlier this year, we use some custom modules (such as our unified Bayes database) that required additional testing. The “SMTP Redirection (Lookup Record)” service mode now [...]
IPv6 Changes for Primary DNS
As part of our migration of all IPv6 services into 2607:fe70::/32, the Primary DNS servers now have new addresses. They are: ns1-auth.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:3::c ns2-auth.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:4::c If you have reassigned our IP addresses to NS records under your domain please update your DNS. The old addresses have been depreciated and will stop answering queries soon.

If you have reassigned our IP addresses to NS records under your [...]
New: Mail Box Protocol Control
We’ve added a new, simple feature that allows a hosted mail box to limit whether or not IMAP or POP3 connections are allowed. This is controlled through two new options in the actions selector for each mail box: Attempting to access a mail box using a disabled protocol will result in an authentication failure. The [...]
New Invoice Options
We’ve updated our invoice system so that it will now generate invoices as attachments: either as plain text (the default) or as a fancy PDF attachment complete with logo. We’re going to be making other updates to the email templates the system sends out over the next week or two as well. Unfortunately for our [...]
