Mail problems
It looked good last night, after installing the new PMAS version, but ths morning I found there are some problems with mail. Well, BIG problems: there isn’t ANY incoming mail from outside the grootersnet.nl domain. Local mail is delivered, and since outgoing mail bypasses the filter, there is no trouble in sending. This is one of the new features: testing on domain. It might be that the Sender Profile Framework has been enabled, and I disabled it. But to take effect, PMAS needs to be restarted – which requires access to Diana. And I didn’t have it at the time….
Hopefully the mail is not discarded and will be delivered once PMAS is restarted. To get along the fast way: disable the port redirection on the router, if really needed. It will allow spam to get through but it’s not a big issue for a few hours.
Tested a few things, found a problem in reports and sent the results to Process, and a request to answer via the company. But from there, I couldn’t reply – mail was blocked by a server at process.com.
Anyway, I’ll do some more testing after enabling debug – that’s what needs to be done tonight. Hunter gave me sufficient work to do 😉
