Re: council email problem

Hi Folks

Just before Christmas we started migrating the Linux Australia mail 
systems to Fastmail email hosting. As part of this we undertook thorough 
testing to ensure the mail flow was operating exactly as we needed the 
pre-migration, as well as future, mail flow to operate, and verified 
that all aliases were delivering mail to their intended remote 
destinations.

Since then, we've started experiencing issues with email delivery when 
they pass through one part of the Fastmail systems, but only when mail 
transits 2 specific servers that handle a particular part of the mail 
flow. If mail passes through any of the other servers within the section 
that provide this particular function, it will be successfully delivered.

We've been working with the Fastmail support team to try to pin down why 
this is happening, and get a permanent fix in place, but at this point 
we don't have an eta on when this will be. This error is impacting all 
LA aliases, even aliases that go nowhere near other Linux Australia 
servers (ie - [email protected] -> personx-jG8yLkUzBXxWo+R/V/U2/[email protected]).

We're continuing to work on this issue as a matter of priority.

Thanks as always to those who reached out directly via the LA Admin team 
contact address, and publicly via the Linux Aus List, to provide advice, 
information and feedback.

regards

Steve
