For the last year we have been steadily replacing and rearchitecting our entire mail infrastructure. The goal is to provide a more robust and complete mail service running modern software and hardware. To date we have rolled out the following:
1. A new mailing list service. 2. A new spam scanner server. 3. New smtp (mail sending and receiving) servers. 4. A new webmail client.
On Monday (9/5/11) we will be replacing the imap server known as mail.engr.ucsb.edu. This will mark a major milestone in the overall project.
Planned service enhancements include: 1. A new and improved interface for managing forwarding. 2. A new and improved interface for managing vacation reply settings 3. The ability to manage your own spam filter settings 4. The ability to use server side mail filtering (instead of in a client such as Thunderbird).
As we roll out these new services please bare with us but don't hesitate to report any problems that you may encounter or provide us with feedback. To do so please send mail to
