On Thursday night we'll be bringing up new email servers that make up smtp.aa.net.uk - the outgoing email servers that customers use when sending email. These servers will have new SSL certificates. We'll be using certificates from "Let's Encrypt" which should be trusted by email clients unlike the original "CACert" which will mean fewer (or no) warnings about needing to manually trust the certificate.
This work will involves a short period of time where the mail servers may not be available - we will work to make this as short as possible.
This work is about to start...
This work is nearing completion, the new email servers are now online.
If customers are having problems sending email, then please check the following settings:
Set the outgoing smtp server to: smtp.aa.net.uk
Set the encryption options to TLS or STARTTLS
This planned work has been completed.
