An Iron Port spam firewall is undergoing testing now, and will be online on Thursday, January 31st early in the morning.

At that time, automatic processing of all incoming mail by SpamAssassin will cease. However, individual users can still use Spam Assassin if desired, by invoking it via procmail. Further instructions on how to accomplish this will be posted when the Iron Port appliance goes online.

The server known as willers is currently hosted at a data center in downtown San Jose, CA. It will be moved to a data center in Santa Clara, CA sometime between July 12th and July 14th. This will create some periods of downtime, and some could last several hours. We will try to give as much advance notice as possible, but there may be unexpected shutdowns with just a few minutes' notice.

As part of the move, we will replace the motherboard with one donated by a fellow employees.org user.
