Scheduled Maintenance - 24/05/2009

The provider hosting the bfb.asn.au mail server has notified us of a scheduled maintenance, expected this weekend.

During the maintenance, bfb.asn.au mail services will be unavailable. This includes, smtp, imap and webmail, as well as the mailing lists.

The maintenance is scheduled to start at 07:00, 24/05/2009 and is expected to be completed by 11:00 the same day.

If you have any questions, please contact Adrian.

Upgrade Successful

Tonight's system upgrade has been completed successfully. The mail server side of bfb.asn.au is now running Debian Lenny. Additionally, some configuration packaging was performed. This will make deploying new mail servers a trivial process in the future. The webmail system was also upgraded to the latest stable release of RoundCube.

Focus will now switch to upgrading and reimplementing the mailing list system.

If you come across any issues with the bfb.asn.au email services, please contact us.

System Upgrade tonight

The bfb.asn.au mail services are currently down for maintenance. Normal service should be restored following the system upgrade.

Minor Outage tonight

There will be a minor outage the bfb.asn.au email system tonight, while upgrade work is performed.

This work will allow some extra features to be enabled for users as well as simplify the administration interface.

The work is expected to go ahead around 00:00 tonight. More information will be posted here at the completion of the work.

Bushfire Chiefs' Accounts

BFB.asn.au is proud to announce the availability of email accounts specifically for Bushfire Chiefs and Deputy Bushfire Chiefs. These accounts will be hosted on the newly created "chief.bfb.asn.au" domain.

As most Chiefs and Deputies are not directly associated with a brigade, it was decided that the normal <officer>@<brigade>.bfb.asn.au address format should be modified to better describe the regional role these officers play. The new format will be <region><chief|deputy>@chief.bfb.asn.au, for example SpeewahDeputy@chief.bfb.asn.au.

Chiefs and Deputies interested in finding out more about these accounts, or obtaining one themselves, should contact BFB.asn.au.
