We now have a working SMTP server for staff to use. The server will securely authenticate users to insure they are a staff member. See the wiki page EmailAccount for details on configuring your mail client. There is a kink that Nick and I are trying to fix around CRAM-MD5 vs LOGIN auth types. The next step is to setup SPF records for our domains.
In anticipation of Deb wanting old apps to actually be working, I fixed up Styx to show student data from IPreg2. The styx index.pl code is the worst thing I have ever seen. Changing the code wasn’t to hard, but I did a half ass job since we should be replacing that soon. Also remembered that mystats was likely hosed, and Pat got that all fixed up.
We have a new idea for how the virus page should work. When marked virus, a student will be moved to a 10.242.0.0 subnet with fake DNS. The dynamic wpad file will setup IE to use a different proxy server that only allows access to windowsupdate, mcafee, etc. Since they are on an internal network, no traffic will reach the internet. Now we need to find a way to prevent unregistered machines and virus machines from talking to the 66.165.0.0 or 140.160.0.0 networks.
