[cobalt-users] Re: [Cobalt] Email relay on Raq 1

[Erik O <erik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rodney,

I don't know if this is still applicable to your situation, but while
following your thread a month ago, I volunteered my server to orbs
testing and failed just like you did. I noticed in one of your messages
that contained the software list for your RaQ1 that you did not have
RaQ1-Security-2.0.pkg installed, but you did have 2.1 pkg installed.
Cobalt says you need to... "NOTE: Security Updates are unique and not
sequential. Each update should be applied as an individual patch. "

I patched mine as per the above and have passed abuse.net testing, we'll
see about orbs.

Maybe this was the cause of your troubles. I never saw this mentioned in
the tread and wanted to include it for the archives. Cobalt could have
been of more help on this. It's not like these RaQ1's are THAT old. I
wish I would of waited for a RaQ2 so at least I could get some support /
security / functionality, etc.

Good day!

Erik
