It’s amazing what you can fix by looking at a problem again after leaving it alone. After the server change, OS upgrade, new install, etc., one would think that everything would be simple.

Title: July Meeting Location: The Pythian Group Link out: Click here Description: Time to complete the virtual server. Configuring Dovecot for secure access and configuring TLS and authenticated SMTP. At least that’s the hope.

Another ringing endorsement for Wordpress.
