System Notices

These notices and announcements apply to web-related issues and mailing list-related issues within the past ninety days. There may occasionally be network-related issues if I hear about them and they affect the web servers or list server, but you can’t count on it.

There are a couple of ways that you can keep abreast of these notices:

Bookmark this page.
Subscribe to the RSS feed in your browser or RSS reader.
Subscribe to the mailing list ITS-Faculty-Log for critical notices.

Many notices will also appear on the web page that discusses that category. For example, notices related to class schedules will show up on the class search page, your schedule page, and your roster page.

email.php strips slashes if necessary (Coding): Monday, 11:23 am, February 25th, 2008

mail from www being delivered again (Coding): Friday, 2:05 pm, February 22nd, 2008

The mail server is again accepting mail from www for delivery. I have forwarded all messages that were bounced to the addresses they should have been delivered to originally. Understand that some messages may have bounced but not been delivered to me. And if you are using email.php, remember that you can use the monitoring page to see all messages that have been taken from your form whether they were delivered by e-mail or not.

mailserver blocking all form mail (Critical, Coding): Friday, 11:05 am, February 22nd, 2008

The main mail server is blocking all mail from www. We're trying to track down why. This means that any mail sent from your forms is bouncing and will not be delivered. Some mails are bouncing back to me, and I'll try to forward them to you when this is solved. Others may be lost completely.

Remember that mails sent through the mail plug-in are stored for future reference, and you can monitor them via the web.

SSO uses portal again if requested (Coding): Thursday, 3:00 pm, February 21st, 2008

It looks like we have the issues between www and the portal worked out, so we have re-enabled portal functionality in the single sign-on plugin. If you have set $authMySanDiego to true before including login.php, it will once again redirect the visitor to the portal to log in or use their portal login if they have already logged in there.

The email.php plug-in has been modified to use the form verification plugin. Since the form verification plug-in was derived from email.php, there should be no changes to the plug-in's behavior.
