Service Pilots

Two new versions of the SMTP and FTP servers will be piloted on Borel and Assmule respectively through Saturday morning.  Borel will be running Postfix 2.5, which introduces a nifty new tunable parameter to add wait times between mail delivery.  This should be helpful in alleviating potential bottlenecks when a user’s account goes over quota and ties up all delivery slots as each message is fruitlessly delivered.  Assmule is running vsFTPd+, which introduces a handful of fixes including proper authorization prompts in Internet Explorer/Firefox if authorization fails.
Both servers are running the new versions at this time with no apparent interruption or side-effects.
