Welcome to the Bardic Grove: User Services Section

Mail Access

The following are offered for your use on our system:

• Webmail
• Mail filtering overview
• Mail is offered via IMAP or POP3 protocols and is available to any standard mail client. We recommend Thunderbird.
  In general the settings should be autodetected by your client. However, if they are not then the following can be used to properly configure your client
  1. Incoming mail is mail.bardicgrove.org. Both IMAP and POP3 are available. We require TLS / SSL connections. In general the settings should be:
     • IMAP (implicit and autodetected):
       • Port: 143
       • SSL: STARTTLS
     • IMAP (explicit):
       • Port: 993
       • SSL: SSL/TLS
     • POP3 (implicit and autodetected):
       • Port: 110
       • SSL: STARTTLS
     • POP3 (explicit):
       • Port: 995
       • SSL: SSL/TLS
  2. Outgoing mail is via smtp.bardicgrove.org on port 587 with STARTTLS
  3. The username you need is yourusername. If you MUA has a full email address that is incorrect.
  4. Please note your email address is yourusername@bardcigrove.org additionally our system is case sensitive for both usernames and passwords, your username will be all lowercase.

Shell Access

As of around June of 2003 telnet has been turned off on the system. To acquire shell access you must use SSH. Additionally, password based login is not available and you must be using an SSH key. If you are trying to access the shell and do not have an SSH public key in place, please contact root@bardicgrove.org about getting one in place.

The Windows SSH client that I recomend is: PuTTY

Linux users should already have an SSH client installed. If not, then installing OpenSSH will be all that you need.
