UPS Maintenance

Roller Network — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:29:04 +0000

A factory technician from Eaton Powerware will be on site Friday, March 12 in an attempt to track down a harmonic distortion issue that is conflicting with the voltage regulator in our generator. Because of the nature of any major UPS maintenance, there is an inherent risk that the critical load may be dropped during transfers to and from maintenance bypass. We will closely monitor our facility during this time.

Sprint DS3 Turn Up

Roller Network — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:22:09 +0000

We are scheduled to have our supplemental Sprint DS3 start passing traffic on Thursday, March 11 after 13:00 UTC-8. The circuit is currently up, however its BGP neighbor is not active. We do not anticipate any negative impact from this event.

Generator Maintenance

Roller Network — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:30:21 +0000

On Wednesday, February 24 at 08:00 UTC-8 a technician from the local Cat dealer will be on site to load bank and test our generator.

Verizon; Still No Progress

Roller Network — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 04:44:28 +0000

It’s been a while since we posted a Verizon update. The last time we had contact with them was at the end of December, and we recently learned that as of Friday (02-12-2010) that no progress has been made in re-provisioning the circuit to match what was ordered. The latest roadblock is that there isn’t any capacity at the San Jose hub for us. This has become the longest attempt at a new circuit turn-up that we have ever had the displeasure to experience.

New: “Allow Content Filter” option for Additional Mail Sources

Roller Network — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:26:25 +0000

Because all mail retrieved using the Additional Mail Sources feature appear to be coming from trusted internal sources, by default all filters (except anti-virus) are automatically whitelisted. You may now choose to re-enable the SpamAssassin content filter by setting Allow Content Filter option to “Yes”.

AT&T Fiber Installation, Part 2

Roller Network — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:16:07 +0000

AT&T arrived this morning to pull the fiber. The next step is for for splicer to come out.

AT&T Fiber in our telco room.

24 strand fiber optic cable.

Feb. 8 Update

AT&T splice van across the street.

Feb. 9 Update

Splicing vans in our parking lot.

AT&T is working at the last manhole in our parking lot today, so we’re guessing they’re going to be getting to our telco room shortly.

Feb. 9 Update #2

AT&T came over to terminate the fiber in our telco room, but apparently a subcontractor was supposed to have already placed a rack for them, which didn’t happen. After a few calls it was determined they will be here on Tuesday, Feb. 16 Wednesday, Feb. 17. (The date was moved back on Feb. 12.)

New: Password Change in Webmail

Roller Network — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:25:34 +0000

We’ve added provisions to change a hosted mail box password (and its matching outbound account) through both of the webmail clients.

Return of Outbound Account (AUTH) Logs

Roller Network — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:32:03 +0000

The logs for Outbound Accounts have returned!

We have added preliminary IPv6 support (display only, no CIDR searching yet) and our queue ID will now be logged if the message was accepted into the mail queue. Viewing is now by outbound account name instead of domain name, which means that submissions from “mail server” account types are now viewable in the logs.

Due to these changes there’s a new URL for the outbound account logs:

https://acc.rollernet.us/mail/authlog.php

Send Mail Using IPv6!

Roller Network — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:48:07 +0000

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.

Temporary Removal of Outbound Account (AUTH) Logs

Roller Network — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:03:18 +0000

We are temporarily removing the “Outbound Account (AUTH) Logs” mail log view in order to implement the first phase of revamping these logs to once again become useful. Other mail logs will not be affected. Once complete the outbound account logs will be by their AUTH name instead of domain name.

The ultimate goals of this rewrite are to add IPv6 support and tracking of message status as returned by the recipient’s mail server.
