The RU contract with the anti-SPAM/anti-phishing service Proofpoint expired September 21, 2023, which means that ‘Proofpoint End User Digest’ mails are not sent anymore after that date. C&CZ is migrating Science mailboxes to the anti-SPAM/anti-phishing service of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection. There is an increased chance of receiving SPAM/phishing mails in the Science mailbox during this migration period. P.S. the RU central mailboxes (with addresses ending in @ru.nl) have already been migrated to Microsoft Exchange Online Protection....
The Science newsletter is sent from an @ru.nl mail-account. Recently, the @ru.nl mailservice was changed by adding Exchange Online Protection (EOP). EOP is the successor for Radboud University to the Proofpoint e-mail security filter. EOP added a mail header line to the newsletter List-Unsubscribe: https://c8ce19ec62454d21b73b7d5a25559d8f.svc.dynamics.com/t/lu/7... which made the mail appear to be spam to the Science spamfilter SpamAssassin. 1.1 URI_HEX URI: URI hostname has long hexadecimal sequence When we noticed this, we fixed it by welcome listing (allowlisting/passlisting) the sender address communications-science@ru....
After the Monday morning reboot, the NFS server on home1 refused to start properly. We are investigating why a manual restart of nfs was needed.
RU mail management let us know that yesterday the forwarding to external (non-RU) mail addresses has been stopped as announced earlier. Unfortunately, mail for several dozens of Science users was/is not forwarded to the Science mailservers. These mails can still be found in MS365 (RU mail), either in the Inbox or in the Deleted Items. RU mail management promised that the forwarding will be corrected tomorrow.

Our daily backup system relies on cephfs storage, which is currently offline, see CPK#1337. This means that as of July 22nd we are unable to perform or restore daily backups. When the cephfs problems are resolved the daily backups should also be OK and restorable again. NB, this has no effect on the Monthly backups, which continue to work normally.
After the power down of the Huygens building we are experiencing a problem with bringing Ceph file system back online. We currently do not know when the Ceph cluster is operational again. Update 2023-08-01 10:30 Ceph is working again. This CPK is now closed. CPK#1338 is also closed.

The VPNsec service will be moved to a new server. This move will cause downtime and existing VPN connections will be destroyed. Downtime is expected not to exceed several minutes.
Last friday, a change in the mailman configuration has been rolled out which had the inadvertent effect that mails were not delivered to external addresses anymore. However, these mailman posts were sent successfully to internal Science mail addresses.
