The new puremessage spam filtering system seems to be working well, even with the low aggressiveness setting that was given to everyone. You can manipulate various email related functions with the coxeter commands:
- spamfiltering (for setting the spam filtering aggressiveness level and controlling autodeletion and autoexpiration of spam messages)
- maillistedit (for adding email addresses to your whitelist and blacklist)
- forwardedit (for changing email forwarding)
- vacationmessage (for sending vacation messages when you are away)
Type any of the above commands followed by the word show (e.g. spamfiltering show) to see your current status, or followed by help for more information. For complete information about your spamfiltering setup you can type spamfiltering showall. Note that email forwarding and sending the vacation message happens after spam filtering so less spam should be sent from our system to remote addresses now (this has caused problems in the past).
General Email Server Information
- Incoming Mail Server: mail.math.toronto.edu using IMAP on port 143 using a secure TLS connection (STARTTLS)
- Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.math.toronto.edu using message submission (similar to SMTP) on port 587 using a secure TLS connection (STARTTLS)
The fingerprints for our email security certificate are:
- SHA1: 15:D7:00:1C:B4:5A:9D:AF:D1:B0:4D:35:EA:83:1A:2E:3D:85:36:0D
- SHA-256: 68:CE:0A:32:8A:4F:81:CB:AD:AB:E1:B1:97:47:2D:6C:99:E5:88:B0:CF:FF:B2:09:DB:C5:33:78:2C:60:70:89
Although these fingerprints can in theory be faked by people trying to steal information.
