[tech] UCC backup status, was Re: Cron <backups at mollitz> /backups/bin/rdiff-manager/rdiff-manager.py (fwd)

[Mark Tearle]

Hi folks

It should be fixed now.   It was definitely me breaking it.   Previously molliitz had used the submission port on secure.ucc.asn.au  

It is now configured by the SOE to use submission.ucc.asn.au and STARTTLS.

Cheers,
Mark
