Roller NetworkThe building we’re in was already lit with Verizon fiber, but we ended up having to accelerate our plans to install a secondary fiber entrance for an AT&T loop due to the continuing delays with Verizon. This time it involves some road construction.
Ultimately this is a benefit for everyone because we have two independent fiber loops, but we had originally planned to start accepting new colocation and hosting customers last year. The next step is for AT&T to pull their fiber.

With the distribution of two /8 blocks to APNIC, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) today announced that less than ten percent of available IPv4 addresses remain unallocated.
“This is a key milestone in the growth and development of the global Internet,” noted Axel Pawlik, Chairman of the NRO. “With less than 10 percent of the entire IPv4 address range still available for allocation to RIRs, it is vital that the Internet community take considered and determined action to ensure the global adoption of IPv6. The limited IPv4 addresses will not allow us enough resources to achieve the ambitions we all hold for global Internet access. The deployment of IPv6 is a key infrastructure development that will enable the network to support the billions of people and devices that will connect in the coming years,” added Pawlik.

Roller Network is committed to providing IPv6 enabled services. Hosted mail (POP3, IMAP, webmail), outbound SMTP, and DNS services have been available via IPv6 starting in 2008. We are actively testing transport-level SMTP IPv6 services. In addition, Roller Network colocation, dedicated servers, and hosting are available with dual-stack connectivity.

We have decided to allow managesieve (tcp port 2000) from external clients. This will allow external tools to log in to the sieve and manage it directly rather than relying on our web-based interface alone. (However, be aware that some clients have TLS incompatibilities that may cause login to fail.)
As such, we have also enabled the ‘managesieve’ plugin for Roundcube webmail and added Avelsieve to SquirrelMail webmail. These interfaces may also be used as an alternative to writing rules directly even if you don’t use webmail.
We’ve added two new features: a “new” method for the API “mailbox” method so you can create new hosted mail box accounts through the API and a unique “Trim Message (DATA) Size To” to our mail services.
The “Trim Message (DATA) Size To” advanced option was added per request. It’s unique in that it allows you to set a hard size limit for incoming mail that our system will trim (truncate) to instead of rejecting large messages. It will break attachments and multipart messages that exceed the limit, but the untrimmed part of the message will still make it through. Mail mirroring and forwarding are not affected by the trim – only SMTP destinations.
