Just a few notes about using the [WLUG] mail server.
* If you're using MozillaMail and [IMAP] to connect through the firewall to the server you may need to add imap.wlug.org.nz to your "No Proxies for" list (under preferences / advanced / proxies). This tells you mailer to connect directly to the server rather than through the proxy.
-* When you log into WebMail you may need to use ''username'' rather than ''username@wlug.org.nz'' (this differs from other SquirrelMail setups).
+* When you log into WebMail you may need to use ''username'' rather than ''username@wlug.org.nz'' (this differs from other SquirrelMail setups). The feedback when you make this error is a little obscure (i.e. several lines of the [PHP] internal error messages and then "Unknown user or password incorrect.")
* Sometimes [Reload] gives gives an php error messages. This appears to be related to session TimeOut. The solution is not to use [Reload] but to check for new mail by clicking on you inbox.
* If you have shell access, you can always create a file named ".forward" in your home directory to have email automatically forwarded to another address. For example after logging in:
$ echo "my_other_address@verisign.com" > ~/.forward
* Exim also supports specially formatted .forward files to do limited processing of incoming email, such as save to a certain file, or forward or drop. As currently set up on the WLUG mail server, such filtering is supported. See EximFilter.
