New mailserver plans

  • An IMAP/SSL server! Yay
  • Two separate servers:
    • One handling all incoming, external mail, and does spam filtering
    • One containing all mail boxes (IMAP), sending out internal mail
  • Alias files copied to secondary MXes
  • Using cdb
  • Exim! (sorry) and Dovecot
  • Mailinglists without specific aliases, just by looking at the -l postfix or lists.wikimedia.org

Old Wikimedia email setup

  • postfix, mailman, OTRS, spamassassin on goeje
    • mail.wikimedia.org <- service ip/name for mail
    • secure.wikimedia.org <- service ip/name for OTRS
    • ticket.wikimedia.org <- service name for OTRS, redirects to secure.wikimedia.org currently
    • srv38 is the mysql server for OTRS
  • sendmail on most other machines (apaches)
    • internally in pmtpa they forward to smtp.pmtpa.wmnet, which relays to the external world.
