Been meaning to do this for a while: have managed to successfully get Ubuntu updating from the iiNet mirrors (which is faster and free content.

Easiest way I’ve found to do it is:
Make a backup copy of /etc/apt/sources.list

cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup

Then, open sources.list

pico /etc/apt/sources.list

then Ctrl-W for "whereis", and then Ctrl-R for "replace"

Replace the existing mirror (whatever appears after "http://"), with ftp.iinet.net.au/pub

Eg, mine went from:

deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates main restricted

to:

deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates main restricted

Works a treat!

After a bit more research, I got a new server certificate from http://www.startssl.com/ (nice service, be sure to check it out if you use any server certs).

However, still no workie.  After a bit more research (and I’ve forgotten the links now), I found that OMA will pretty much not work with a single server Exchange setup and SSL.  So, I’m living without it at the moment, until I get a Squid reverse proxy in to handle the routing behind my internet connection. Microsoft’s recommendation is to stick a front end server in on port 80….

More nice work from our friends at MS.  More motivation to get off my arse and get another mail server setup.
