August 6-7: further Mail Domain Conversions
We have converted over 100 Mail Domains in the new format and this weekend we will try to convert the last ones. Our goal is to improve the mailserver's performance by reducing the number of files.
We will try to keep the disturbances as short as possible, but the mail domains that we will be converting will need to be 'suspended.' The amount of down time depends on the size, extent and number of mailboxes, therefore we are unable to give a precise amount of time at the moment.
It may also not be possible to perform the maintenance if too many mail boxes are in use. The e-mail domains that we will try to convert this weekend include: biology, frias, German Studies, History, Law, ZBSA, Pharmaceutical Studies, Philosophy, Physchem, Physics, Physiology, Politics, Romantic Studies, Service, SGBM, Sociology, Sport, theol. und zuv.
