Berklix - Webmail Service

Server For Normal Users

Email Address To Quote Senders

  • Use: [your_login_name].webmail@webmail. berklix.com
  • Not: @flat.berklix : A physical (A) name to hardware, not re-directable on service reconfiguration or host failure, so use a re-directable CNAME instead, eg webmail.berklix.
  • Not: berklix.net : .net is destined for dynamic allocation, not fixed servers.
  • Not @user.berklix : webmail server may not remain on same host with normal login accounts.
  • Not @berklix : Berklix domains have multiple server hosts but only one provides webmail service.

Introduction

  • Not for public. (ie we do not offer free accounts to the general public, our accounts are for business associates & colleagues).
  • Handy for travelling, accessing mail via net cafe or colleague's web browser etc.
  • Software from OpenWebMail.Org running on FreeBSD using /usr/ports/mail/openwebmail.

Warnings

  • Your password could be stolen by `man in the middle' packet sniffers on the Internet, as it uses http, not https, so don't use a valuable password.
  • Your mail content could be similarly `sniffed' (but as most people send mail unencrypted, it would be even easier tapped other ways).
  • NO guarantees, subject to change & breakage etc (test service).
  • No mail forwarding is set by default, you can probably set that later I assume.
  • Ssh : Secure Shell I haven't got this working yet (though I've added directives to httpd.conf).
    • Ssh may not work if you use a Microsoft crippled browser that for security reasons has been limited to not allow extra windows to open. (As seen at a free service adjacent a wall at Systems 2006.)
    • Need to turn on Java in browser.
    • The black box reports the Java applet is 2280 days old & to go to http://www.mindbright.se/mindterm/ which redirects to http://www.appgate.com/products/80_MindTerm/ which has a client that implements the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols written in pure Java "free for personal use". That's not something I'll install on my FreeBSD client workstations as I have real C, really free. Might be of use on MS clients though.
  • Not for normal users, Only for testers: flat, tower, slim, BSn (for comparison)
