Purpose

Runs the Baleen e-mail gateway system as the primary incoming mail exchanger for:

• earlham.edu
• lists.earlham.edu
• bethanyseminary.edu

Dependancies

TAIKA depends on ASHTI or SITH for LDAP e-mail routing information. For full e-mail delivery, it depends on both KE (user mailboxes) and BARIS (lists), however without these, it will queue incoming e-mail for future delivery.

TAIKA does not depend on any DNS servers; it runs its own internal DNS server that is tuned for e-mail processing and SpamAssassin.

TAIKA will synchronize with local NTP servers if available.
