Spack Community Server Settings

Please note that if you were part of the MausRoninMigration that some of these settings are slightly different then the old ones, so make sure that you update your clients appropriately.

If something was installed or configured better on the old server and you would like the new server made the same please just let me know and I'll fix it up as soon as I have a moment.

• The same as the old server, SSH will only accept version 2 connections. So make sure you use a modern client, or the available Java based web client.

• Web mail is still available in the same place as always.

  http://www.spack.org/mail/

Notes

Things should work roughly the same on the new server as they did on the old, but there are some differences.

• Instead of your mail being stored in ~/mail/ and your inbox in /var/mail/USERNAME, everything is kept in ~/Maildir/. All of your folders will be directories called ~/Maildir/.Folder and every message in that folder will be a separate file.

• If you want to use procmail you now have to forward your mail into procmail for your ~/.procmailrc to become active. Here is what your ~/.forward file should look like:

  # cat ~/.forward 
  "|/usr/bin/procmail"

• When writing your Procmail rules any folder that you want to filter into needs to end with a trailing slash. This is important because it's the only way that procmail can know that you are wanting to save the message into a Maildir folder. Here's an example from my ~/.procmailrc:

  # Everything is relative to ... 
  MAILDIR=/home/adam/Maildir/
  
  # If no other rule catches, file here
  DEFAULT=.INBOX.deleteme/
  
  # Turn off biff notification
  COMSAT=no
  
  # Logging and stuff
  LOGFILE=/home/adam/.procmail/log
  VERBOSE=no
  LOGABSTRACT=no
