New Spamdrain iOS beta – dark mode and more!

Posted on by

Today we are super excited to announce that a new beta version of our iOS app is waiting for you to try out! This update has been in the works for quite some time and marks a new era for our mobile clients. Our iOS and Android apps now share a large portion of their inner workings, their source code, yet still retain the great speed and looks of a truly native app. The rewrite we have performed for the past year or so will help us iterate quicker with new features and bug fixes, and ultimately provide you with a better experience.

Enough with the nerd talk, show me what’s new!

Dark mode

Yeah we know, dark mode has been around for ages, first introduced in iOS 13 in 2019. Now we are happy to finally bring it to Spamdrain. We think it looks great! Here are a few teaser screenshots:

Polished looks and improved usability

The user interface has been redesigned from the ground up using modern components. Here’s a comparison of the Settings view between the old app (left) and new app (right):

Split view on large iPhones in landscape mode

Split view is now supported in landscape mode on these iPhone models: iPhone 6/7/8 Plus, iPhone Xr, iPhone Xs Max, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11/12 Pro Max.

Improved sign up flow

New user are now taken directly to the sign up flow and will be able to get started more quickly than in the old app.

Here’s how to get it already

SpamDrain is moving to a new data center

Posted on by

During the next few weeks our servers will be moved to a new data center. The move will be done gradually with the first servers the coming Monday, November 15, starting from 11.30 pm and will be finished on Tuesday, November 16, by 8 am CET. We have taken the necessary steps to ensure that users won’t be affected by this. Should you still experience problems during this time please be patient. Things should go back to normal at least after 8 am.

The rest of our servers will be moved at later dates and we will announce every move on our blog, Facebook and Twitter.

Transition to new servers almost complete

Posted on by

Last weekend we moved the domains www.spamdrain.net, pop.spamdrain.net and imap.spamdrain.net to our new servers. This means that we’re now almost completely running on the new infrastructure we first wrote about back in March. It’s taken a bit longer than we expected back then but now we’re almost there.

The only thing remaining now is to move the services providing filtering for our domain filtering customers. We will do this during the coming months and we hope this will be completed by the end of the summer. Most of you who use the domain filtering service won’t have to do anything and won’t notice. No need to change your MX records.

If you have set up your firewall as recommended in our FAQ you will only have to make sure to update the rules so that it doesn’t block the IP addresses used by our new servers. Please make sure your firewall has been configured to accept all traffic on port 25 (or the port used by your mail server) from the following IP addresses:

85.24.138.228
85.24.138.229
85.24.138.129
62.75.203.192 - 62.75.203.223 (62.75.203.192/27)

You can read more about how to configure your firewall in our FAQ (log in required).
