minsky.hcoop.net is a virtual machine at DigitalOcean that will become our primary mail server, and replaces ServerMcCarthy

It is named after professor Marvin Minsky.

1. Setup Notes

Similar issues as ServerMarsh:

  • had to manually add "domain hcoop.net" to resolv.conf
  • had to open puppetserver port 8140 (bootstrap problem: new server can't connect to the puppetserver to request a cert, so it can't add its ip to the whitelist...)
  • Default /etc/hosts is no good, sets marsh to loopback, with no ipv6. Had to munge like ServerGibran to public IP and add IPv6 alias. Really need to look deeper into this before perpetuating bad practice even further.

2. Exim

  • Exim can't lookup addresses if there are no vmail users present
    • This makes mailNodes_admin not work.

  • mailNodes_admin doesn't get any spam filtering
