2013年度末(2014年3月),九州大学信息基础设施计划为教职员工和学生推出了新的主邮件服务。以前为工作人员提供的服务是使用专有邮件和LDAP设备构建的,但严格的用户许可证和专有系统的性质造成了一些麻烦。以前的学生服务是使用开源软件(Postfix和Dovecot)构建的,但是LDAP身份验证的旧实现存在一些问题。有了这些经验,我们决定使用开源软件(包括Postfix,Dovecot,OpenLDAP和Squirrelmail)合并两个系统来设计一个新系统。我们还将别名地址设置服务(以前仅适用于学生)扩展到包括工作人员在内的所有成员。在本文中,我们解释的设计和实现,用户迁移,目前的状况和未来的工作,我们的新的邮件服务。
In the end of fiscal year 2013 (March 2014), Kyushu University Information Infrastructure Initiative introduced new Primary Mail Service for Staff Members and Students. The previous service for staff members had been built using proprietary mail and LDAP appliance, but tight user license and the nature of proprietary system caused several troubles. The previous service for students had been built using open source software (Postfix and Dovecot), but there were some issues with the old implementation of LDAP authentication. With these experiences, we decided to design a new system by merging both system using open source software including Postfix, Dovecot, OpenLDAP, and Squirrelmail. We also extended alias address setting service (previously available for students only) to all the members including staff members. In this paper, we explain the design and implementation, user migration, current status and future works of our new mail service.
