Mail not logging in to SMTP?
I'm running OS 10.5.8, Mail version 3.6.
Mail suddenly (around noon yesterday) stopped sending, with the following error message: "The server refused to allow a connection on the default ports". I changed the port to 25, then 587, each of which generated the error "The SMTP server doesn't support authentication."
The connection doctor says "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed."
I rebooted, and nothing changed.
I am able to ping the SMTP server using Terminal, and I am also able to Telnet successfully using ports 25 and 587.
I installed Thunderbird, and it sends mail perfectly fine on the exact same server using the default ports.
I deleted Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, emptied the trash and re-started Mail, which looked exactly the same. Isn't that the preferences? Shouldn't I have had to re-enter my account info or something? I didn't, and Mail still runs fine, absent that file.
So I guess I need help figuring out how to delete the preferences in order to complete the diagnosis, or help figuring out how to re-install Mail.
Any thoughts? Advice?
Thanks in advance for your time.
I have a similar/ same problem. Here in the hope that someone can shed light...
I have been trying to use my domain's smtp server for outgoing mail via Apple Mail and could not, yet I could use my ISP's smtp server to send mail. In Thunderbird I can use both outgoing mail servers.
The support people at my hosting company consider the issue resolved -From their point of view, I should just switch to Thunderb. Thing is I actually like Mail and have years worth of mailboxes set up in it over two machines and am now limited to Mail for iPhone too. (unless anyone can recommend a different mail pp for iPhone)
I have tried to copy all the known/ visible settings across from Thunderb to Mail, but Mail will still only send out via my ISP's mail server regardless.
My guess is that it is a port issue, but I have copied across the same port that is in ThunderB. Plus in the most recent version of Mail it appears to use/ try many anyway (25, 587 etc).
So my question is: What is the setting that is hidden in Thunderb that allows it to use different outgoing mail servers without error and then how do I transfer/ replicate that (highly useful) setting in Apple's Mail, both on my laptop/ desktop and my iPhone?
I have tried two different versions of Mail: v 2.1.3 on OS 10.4.11 here on my old laptop and v 3.6 on my Mac Pro 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance for any clues.

Mail not received sent through SMTP Send Mail Task
Hi,
I have a SSIS package which will send mail notifications. This package is deployed on Integration Services Catalogues as Project deployment. This package having a list of notifications regarding the task status.The receiver end got few
notifications but missed of the notifications. This issue is not frequent. Sometimes we are getting all notifications. Sotimes missing some notification. All these using SMTP tasks with same SMTP connection.
I checked the task status in Standard Reports for all Executions. The task status for all these notification tasks are Success.
What are the possible reasons for this?
Thanks and regards,
Muhammed Shakeer
Muhammed ShakeerHi Muhammed,
If the issue happens sometime only and all executions was run successfully, then the issue should be caused by the SMTP server. The SMTP server may refuse the connections.
To verify the cause, please:
Check SMTP server log
Enable logging for the SMTP task. Check the log after execution
To understand how to enable Logging, please see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181205(v=sql.110).aspx

Why is my outlook account on iOS mail not logging in?
I have an outlook account that was logged in and used to work on the mail app on my iPhone 4s. Then it stopped receiving mail so I logged the account out and logged back in and a message keeps on popping up saying that it is unable to verify the account. So I deleted the account and re-added it yet the same message pops up. All software is up to date.
(The password and email address entered is correct, I can still log on into mail on a web browser)Ask Microsoft... It's their server that's rejecting your credentials, not the phone.

A week ago my go daddy email stopped working as it would receive but not send. It's an imap account and hence it would not connect to the smtp server when attemting to send. Incoming imap server works well. When trying to use a network outside my home, I discovered that I cannot log into other networks than my own any longer. Email and wifi on my phone works all fine. I have been on the phone with Apple and Go Daddy for 3 hours altogher, tried different solutions such as deleting anti virus software, deleting and resetting email account, tried different port versions etc to no avail. Since I can still not log on to other networks, I am suspecting it be an operating system error? Has anyone experienced a similar problem or has a possible solution please?
Thanks. here it is:

Could not open gmail on the mail application of the mac book pro.
Gmail has two account types, SMTP and Google IMAP.
In both cases failure in trying to log on to SMTP and Google IMAP because I have to verify that the username and password are correct.
How do I verify that? Please help. Thanks.Routing gmail through Mail.app:

Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.1) will not log into my 1and1 outgoing mail server. ( It will receive mail - but does not send)My old Snow Leopard macbook does not have the same problem ( server settings etc. are identical) . Apple Support say its a 1and1 problem , 1and1 say it is an operating System prob - I have tried changing port numbers.
My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck! -

Hello Sherry!
Did you try to login with any of the icons listed next to Sign in? If so, please try to log back in using the one when entering your email address. (Google, Facebook, Yahoo, AOL)
Please let me know if this works for you.

Workflow mailer not writing logs
Hello all,
Yesterday i deleted the logs writen for the day. I am doing some debugging, so wanted fresh logs for the issue. But after that i see no new logs being written inspite of me using workflow many times.
i try this script:
SELECT concurrent_queue_name manager, fcp.last_update_date, fcp.concurrent_process_id pid, meaning, fcp.logfile_name
FROM fnd_concurrent_queues fcq, fnd_concurrent_processes fcp, fnd_lookups flkup
WHERE concurrent_queue_name in ('WFMLRSVC')
AND fcq.concurrent_queue_id = fcp.concurrent_queue_id
AND fcq.application_id = fcp.queue_application_id
AND flkup.lookup_code=fcp.process_status_code
AND lookup_type ='CP_PROCESS_STATUS_CODE'
AND meaning='Active';
i go to the log file location but the file doesnt exist.
Even in OAM-workflow notification mailer-view log: i get a blank screen.
Can anyone help me out here?Pl post exact details of OS, database and EBS versions, along with details of the log file names you deleted.
Have you bounced application services (using adstpall.sh and adstrtal.sh) to see if new log files get created ?

Issue with spamassassin, now mail not working
Hi ! I installed spamtrainer almost two months ago. Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now , 700 emails each day at least .
There was very little improvement if none at all. Tried to add "@local_domains_maps = (1)" to amavisd.conf last night thinking it might be the problem , though no virtual domain exist. This was one of the issue on the default Amavisd config. The other one is adding the symbolic link which I already done.
Computer froze while adding the parameter "@local_domains_maps = (1)", so I manually turn off the Power Mac, then mail stopped altogether. The mails are filing up but the clients couldn't send or receive since this incidence .
FF is the maincf. and amavis.conf
All help are greatly appreciated.

#GENERAL NOTES:
# This file is a normal Perl code, interpreted by Perl itself.
# - make sure this file (or directory where it resides) is NOT WRITABLE
# by mere mortals, otherwise it represents a severe security risk!
# - for values which are interpreted as booleans, it is recommended
# to use 1 for true, and 0 or undef or '' for false.
# THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM OLDER AMAVIS VERSIONS where "no" also meant false,
# now it means true, like any nonempty string does!
# - Perl syntax applies. Most notably: strings in "" may include variables
# (which start with $ or @); to include characters @ and $ in double
# quoted strings, precede them by a backslash; in single-quoted strings
# the $ and @ lose their special meaning, so it is usually easier to use
# single quoted strings. Still, in both cases a backslash need to be doubled
# - variables with names starting with a '@' are lists, the values assigned
# to them should be lists as well, e.g. ('one@foo', $mydomain, "three");
# note the comma-separation and parenthesis. If strings in the list
# do not contain spaces nor variables, a Perl operator qw() may be used
# as a shorthand to split its argument on whitespace and produce a list
# of strings, e.g. qw( one@foo example.com three ); Note that the argument
# to qw is quoted implicitly and no variable interpretation is done within
# (no '$' variable evaluations). The #-initiated comments can not be used
# within the string. In other words, $ and # lose their special meaning
# withing a qw argument, just like within '...' strings.
# - all e-mail addresses in this file and as used internally by the daemon
# are in their raw (rfc2821-unquoted and nonbracketed) form, i.e.
# Bob "Funny" [email protected], not: "Bob \"Funny\" Dude"@example.com
# and not <"@example.com>; also: '' and not ''.
# Section I - Essential daemon and MTA settings
# $MYHOME serves as a quick default for some other configuration settings.

# MTA SETTINGS, UNCOMMENT AS APPROPRIATE,
# both $forward_method and $notify_method default to 'smtp:127.0.0.1:10025'

#$forward_method = 'smtp:127.0.0.1:10025'; # where to forward checked mail
#$notify_method = $forward_method; # where to submit notifications
# NOTE: The defaults (above) are good for Postfix or dual-sendmail. You MUST
# uncomment the approprate settings below if using other setups!
# SENDMAIL MILTER, using amavis-milter.c helper program:
#$forward_method = undef; # no explicit forwarding, sendmail does it by itself
# milter; option -odd is needed to avoid deadlocks
#$notify_method = 'pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -i -odd -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}';
# just a thought: can we use use -Am instead of -odd ?
# SENDMAIL (old non-milter setup, as relay):
#$forward_method = 'pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/sendmail -C/etc/sendmail.orig.cf -i -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}';
#$notify_method = $forward_method;
# SENDMAIL (old non-milter setup, amavis.c calls local delivery agent):
#$forward_method = undef; # no explicit forwarding, amavis.c will call LDA
#$notify_method = 'pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -i -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}';
# EXIM v3 (not recommended with v4 or later, which can use SMTP setup instead):
#$forward_method = 'pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/exim -oMr scanned-ok -i -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}';
#$notify_method = $forward_method;
# prefer to collect mail for forwarding as BSMTP files?
#$forward_method = "bsmtp:$MYHOME/out-%i-%n.bsmtp";
#$notify_method = $forward_method;
# Net::Server pre-forking settings
# You may want $max_servers to match the width of your MTA pipe
# feeding amavisd, e.g. with Postfix the 'Max procs' field in the
# master.cf file, like the '2' in the: smtp-amavis unix - - n - 2 smtp
$max_servers = 2; # number of pre-forked children (default 2)
$max_requests = 10; # retire a child after that many accepts (default 10)
$child_timeout=5*60; # abort child if it does not complete each task in n sec
# (default: 8*60 seconds)
# Check also the settings of @av_scanners at the end if you want to use
# virus scanners. If not, you may want to delete the whole long assignment
# to the variable @av_scanners, which will also remove the virus checking
# code (e.g. if you only want to do spam scanning).
# Here is a QUICK WAY to completely DISABLE some sections of code
# that WE DO NOT WANT (it won't even be compiled-in).
# For more refined controls leave the following two lines commented out,
# and see further down what these two lookup lists really mean.
#@bypass_virus_checks_acl = qw( . ); # uncomment to DISABLE anti-virus code
#@bypass_spam_checks_acl = qw( . ); # uncomment to DISABLE anti-spam code
# Any setting can be changed with a new assignment, so make sure
# you do not unintentionally override these settings further down!
# Lookup list of local domains (see README.lookups for syntax details)
# NOTE:
# For backwards compatibility the variable names @local_domains (old) and
# @local_domains_acl (new) are synonyms. For consistency with other lookups
# the name @local_domains_acl is now preferred. It also makes it more
# obviously distinct from the new %local_domains hash lookup table.
# local_domains* lookup tables are used in deciding whether a recipient
# is local or not, or in other words, if the message is outgoing or not.
# This affects inserting spam-related headers for local recipients,
# limiting recipient virus notifications (if enabled) to local recipients,
# in deciding if address extension may be appended, and in SQL lookups
# for non-fqdn addresses. Set it up correctly if you need features
# that rely on this setting (or just leave empty otherwise).
# With Postfix (2.0) a quick reminder on what local domains normally are:
# a union of domains spacified in: $mydestination, $virtual_alias_domains,
# $virtual_mailbox_domains, and $relay_domains.
@local_domains_acl = ( ".$mydomain" ); # $mydomain and its subdomains
# @local_domains_acl = qw(); # default is empty, no recipient treated as local
# @local_domains_acl = qw( .example.com );
# @local_domains_acl = qw( .example.com !host.sub.example.net .sub.example.net );
# @local_domains_acl = ( ".$mydomain", '.example.com', 'sub.example.net' );
# or alternatively(A), using a Perl hash lookup table, which may be assigned
# directly, or read from a file, one domain per line; comments and empty lines
# are ignored, a dot before a domain name implies its subdomains:
#read_hash(\%local_domains, '/var/amavis/local_domains');
#or alternatively(B), using a list of regular expressions:

# to be used in notification body text: its encoding and Content-type.charset
#$bdy_encoding = 'iso-8859-1'; # (default: 'iso-8859-1')
# Default template texts for notifications may be overruled by directly
# assigning new text to template variables, or by reading template text
# from files. A second argument may be specified in a call to read_text(),
# specifying character encoding layer to be used when reading from the
# external file, e.g. 'utf8', 'iso-8859-1', or often just $bdy_encoding.
# Text will be converted to internal character representation by Perl 5.8.0
# or later; second argument is ignored otherwise. See PerlIO::encoding,
# Encode::PerlIO and perluniintro man pages.

# Here is an overall picture (sequence of events) of how pieces fit together
# (only virus controls are shown, spam controls work the same way):
# bypass_virus_checks set for all recipients? ==> PASS
# no viruses? ==> PASS
# log virus if $log_templ is nonempty
# quarantine if $virus_quarantine_to is nonempty
# notify admin if $virus_admin (lookup) nonempty
# notify recips if $warnvirusrecip and (recipient is local or $warn_offsite)
# add address extensions for local recipients (when enabled)
# send (non-)delivery notifications
# to sender if DSN needed (BOUNCE) or ($warnvirussender and D_PASS)
# virus_lovers or final_destiny==D_PASS ==> PASS
# DISCARD (2xx) or REJECT (5xx) (depending on final_*_destiny)
# Equivalent flow diagram applies for spam checks.
# If a virus is detected, spam checking is skipped entirely.
# The following symbolic constants can be used in *destiny settings:
# D_PASS mail will pass to recipients, regardless of bad contents;
# D_DISCARD mail will not be delivered to its recipients, sender will NOT be
# notified. Effectively we lose mail (but will be quarantined
# unless disabled). Not a decent thing to do for a mailer.
# D_BOUNCE mail will not be delivered to its recipients, a non-delivery
# notification (bounce) will be sent to the sender by amavisd-new;
# Exception: bounce (DSN) will not be sent if a virus name matches
# $viruses_that_fake_sender_re, or to messages from mailing lists
# (Precedence: bulk|list|junk);
# D_REJECT mail will not be delivered to its recipients, sender should
# preferably get a reject, e.g. SMTP permanent reject response
# (e.g. with milter), or non-delivery notification from MTA
# (e.g. Postfix). If this is not possible (e.g. different recipients
# have different tolerances to bad mail contents and not using LMTP)
# amavisd-new sends a bounce by itself (same as D_BOUNCE).
# Notes:
# D_REJECT and D_BOUNCE are similar, the difference is in who is responsible
# for informing the sender about non-delivery, and how informative
# the notification can be (amavisd-new knows more than MTA);
# With D_REJECT, MTA may reject original SMTP, or send DSN (delivery status
# notification, colloquially called 'bounce') - depending on MTA;
# Best suited for sendmail milter, especially for spam.
# With D_BOUNCE, amavisd-new (not MTA) sends DSN (can better explain the
# reason for mail non-delivery, but unable to reject the original
# SMTP session). Best suited to reporting viruses, and for Postfix
# and other dual-MTA setups, which can't reject original client SMTP
# session, as the mail has already been enqueued.
$final_virus_destiny = D_BOUNCE; # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)
$final_banned_destiny = D_BOUNCE; # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)
$final_spam_destiny = D_PASS; # (defaults to D_REJECT)
$final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS; # (defaults to D_PASS), D_BOUNCE suggested
# Alternatives to consider for spam:
# - use D_PASS if clients will do filtering based on inserted mail headers;
# - use D_DISCARD, if kill_level is set safely high;
# - use D_BOUNCE instead of D_REJECT if not using milter;
# There are no sensible alternatives to D_BOUNCE for viruses, but consider:
# - use D_PASS (or virus_lovers) and $warnvirussender=1 to deliver viruses;
# - use D_REJECT instead of D_BOUNCE if using milter and under heavy
# virus storm;
# Don't bother to set both D_DISCARD and $warn*sender=1, it will get mapped
# to D_BOUNCE.
# The separation of *_destiny values into D_BOUNCE, D_REJECT, D_DISCARD
# and D_PASS made settings $warnvirussender and $warnspamsender only still
# useful with D_PASS.
# The following $warn*sender settings are ONLY used when mail is
# actually passed to recipients ($final_*_destiny=D_PASS, or *_lovers*).
# Bounces or rejects produce non-delivery status notification anyway.

# The value of scalar $virus_quarantine_to/$spam_quarantine_to (or a
# per-recipient lookup result from the hash table %$virus_quarantine_to)
# is/are interpreted as follows:
# VARIANT 1:
# empty or undef disables quarantine;
# VARIANT 2:
# a string NOT containg an '@';
# amavisd will behave as a local delivery agent (LDA) and will quarantine
# viruses to local files according to hash %local_delivery_aliases (pseudo
# aliases map) - see subroutine mail_to_local_mailbox() for details.
# Some of the predefined aliases are 'virus-quarantine' and 'spam-quarantine'.
# Setting $virus_quarantine_to ($spam_quarantine_to) to this string will:
# * if $QUARANTINEDIR is a directory, each quarantined virus will go
# to a separate file in the $QUARANTINEDIR directory (traditional
# amavis style, similar to maildir mailbox format);
# * otherwise $QUARANTINEDIR is treated as a file name of a Unix-style
# mailbox. All quarantined messages will be appended to this file.
# Amavisd child process must obtain an exclusive lock on the file during
# delivery, so this may be less efficient than using individual files
# or forwarding to MTA, and it may not work across NFS or other non-local
# file systems (but may be handy for pickup of quarantined files via IMAP
# for example);
# VARIANT 3:
# any email address (must contain '@').
# The e-mail messages to be quarantined will be handed to MTA
# for delivery to the specified address. If a recipient address local to MTA
# is desired, you may leave the domain part empty, e.g. 'infected@', but the
# '@' character must nevertheless be included to distinguish it from variant 2.
# This method enables more refined delivery control made available by MTA
# (e.g. its aliases file, other local delivery agents, dealing with
# privileges and file locking when delivering to user's mailbox, nonlocal
# delivery and forwarding, fan-out lists). Make sure the mail-to-be-quarantined
# will not be handed back to amavisd for checking, as this will cause a loop
# (hopefully broken at some stage)! If this can be assured, notifications
# will benefit too from not being unecessarily virus-scanned.

# setup, but probably not safe with sendmail milter interface without

# %virus_lovers, @virus_lovers_acl and $virus_lovers_re lookup tables:
# (these should be considered policy options, they do not disable checks,
# see bypas*checks for that!)
# Exclude certain RECIPIENTS from virus filtering by adding their lower-cased
# envelope e-mail address (or domain only) to the hash %virus_lovers, or to
# the access list @virus_lovers_acl - see README.lookups and examples.
# Make sure the appropriate form (e.g. external/internal) of address
# is used in case of virtual domains, or when mapping external to internal
# addresses, etc. - this is MTA-specific.
# Notifications would still be generated however (see the overall
# picture above), and infected mail (if passed) gets additional header:
# X-AMaViS-Alert: INFECTED, message contains virus: ...
# (header not inserted with milter interface!)
# NOTE (milter interface only): in case of multiple recipients,
# it is only possible to drop or accept the message in its entirety - for all
# recipients. If all of them are virus lovers, we'll accept mail, but if
# at least one recipient is not a virus lover, we'll discard the message.
# %bypass_virus_checks, @bypass_virus_checks_acl and $bypass_virus_checks_re
# lookup tables:
# (this is mainly a time-saving option, unlike virus_lovers* !)
# Similar in concept to %virus_lovers, a hash %bypass_virus_checks,
# access list @bypass_virus_checks_acl and regexp list $bypass_virus_checks_re
# are used to skip entirely the decoding, unpacking and virus checking,
# but only if ALL recipients match the lookup.
# %bypass_virus_checks/@bypass_virus_checks_acl/$bypass_virus_checks_re
# do NOT GUARANTEE the message will NOT be checked for viruses - this may
# still happen when there is more than one recipient for a message, and
# not all of them match these lookup tables. To guarantee virus delivery,
# a recipient must also match %virus_lovers/@virus_lovers_acl lookups
# (but see milter limitations above),
# NOTE: it would not be clever to base virus checks on SENDER address,
# since there are no guarantees that it is genuine. Many viruses
# and spam messages fake sender address. To achieve selective filtering
# based on the source of the mail (e.g. IP address, MTA port number, ...),
# use mechanisms provided by MTA if available.
# Similar to lookup tables controlling virus checking, there exist
# spam scanning, banned names/types, and headers_checks control counterparts:
# %spam_lovers, @spam_lovers_acl, $spam_lovers_re
# %banned_files_lovers, @banned_files_lovers_acl, $banned_files_lovers_re
# %bad_header_lovers, @bad_header_lovers_acl, $bad_header_lovers_re

# The SQL select clause to fetch per-recipient policy settings.

# (e.g. full address, domain only, catchall). Use ORDER, if there
# is a chance that multiple records will match - the first match wins.
# If field names are not unique (e.g. 'id'), the later field overwrites the

# $sql_select_policy = 'SELECT *,users.id FROM users,policy'.
# ' WHERE (users.policy_id=policy.id) AND (users.email IN (%k))'.

# The SQL select clause to check sender in per-recipient whitelist/blacklist
# The first SELECT argument '?' will be users.id from recipient SQL lookup,
# the %k will be sender addresses (e.g. full address, domain only, catchall).

# $sql_select_white_black_list = 'SELECT wb FROM wblist,mailaddr'.

# as an address extension to the local-part of the address. This extension
# can be used by final local delivery agent to place such mail in different
# folders. Leave these two variables undefined or empty strings to prevent
# appending address extensions. Setting has no effect on recipient which will
# not be receiving viruses/spam. Recipients who do not match lookup tables
# local_domains* are not affected.
# LDAs usually default to stripping away address extension if no special
# handling is specified, so having this option enabled normally does no harm,

# to <[email protected]>.
# Delimiter should match equivalent (final) MTA delimiter setting.

# ENVELOPE SENDER WHITELISTING / BLACKLISTING - GLOBAL (RECIPIENT-INDEPENDENT)
# WHITELISTING: use ENVELOPE SENDER lookups to ENSURE DELIVERY from whitelisted
# senders even if the message is recognized as spam. Effectively, for the
# specified senders, message RECIPIENTS temporarily become 'spam_lovers', with
# further processing being the same as otherwise specified for spam lovers.
# It does not turn off inserting spam-related headers, if they are enabled.
# BLACKLISTING: messages from specified SENDERS are DECLARED SPAM.
# Effectively, for messages from blacklisted senders, spam level
# is artificially pushed high, and the normal spam processing applies,
# resulting in 'X-Spam-Flag: YES', high 'X-Spam-Level' bar and other usual
# reactions to spam, including possible rejection. If the message nevertheless
# still passes (e.g. for spam loving recipients), it is tagged as BLACKLISTED
# in the 'X-Spam-Status' header field, but the reported spam value and
# set of tests in this report header field (if available from SpamAssassin,
# which may have not been called) is not adjusted.
# A sender may be both white- and blacklisted at the same time,
# settings are independent. For example, being both white- and blacklisted,
# message is delivered to recipients, but is tagged as spam.
# If ALL recipients of the message either white- or blacklist the sender,
# spam scanning (calling the SpamAssassin) is bypassed, saving on time.
# The following variables (lookup tables) are available, with the semantics
# and syntax as specified in README.lookups:
# %whitelist_sender, @whitelist_sender_acl, $whitelist_sender_re
# %blacklist_sender, @blacklist_sender_acl, $blacklist_sender_re
# SOME EXAMPLES:
#ACL:
# @whitelist_sender_acl = qw( .example.com );
# @whitelist_sender_acl = ( ".$mydomain" ); # $mydomain and its subdomains
# NOTE: This is not a reliable way of turning off spam checks for
# locally-originating mail, as sender address can easily be faked.
# To reliably avoid spam-scanning outgoing mail,
# use @bypass_spam_checks_acl .

# @av_scanners is a list of n-tuples, where fields semantics is:
# 1. av scanner plain name, to be used in log and reports;
# 2. scanner program name; this string will be submitted to subroutine
# find_external_programs(), which will try to find the full program
# path name; if program is not found, this scanner is disabled.
# Besides a simple string (full program path name or just the basename
# to be looked for in PATH), this may be an array ref of alternative
# program names or full paths - the first match in the list will be used;
# As a special case for more complex scanners, this field may be
# a subroutine reference, and the whole n-tuple is passed to it as args.
# 3. command arguments to be given to the scanner program;
# a substring {} will be replaced by the directory name to be scanned,
# i.e. "$tempdir/parts"
# 4. an array ref of av scanner exit status values, or a regexp (to be
# matched against scanner output), indicating NO VIRUSES found;
# 5. an array ref of av scanner exit status values, or a regexp (to be
# matched against scanner output), indicating VIRUSES WERE FOUND;
# Note: the virus match prevails over a 'not found' match, so it is safe
# even if 4. matches for viruses too;
# 6. a regexp (to be matched against scanner output), returning a list
# of virus names found.
# 7. and 8.: (optional) subroutines to be executed before and after scanner
# (e.g. to set environment or current directory);
# see examples for these at KasperskyLab AVP and Sophos sweep.
# NOTES:
# - NOT DEFINING @av_scanners (e.g. setting it to empty list, or deleting the
# whole assignment) TURNS OFF LOADING AND COMPILING OF THE ANTIVIRUS CODE
# (which can be handy if all you want to do is spam scanning);
# - the order matters: although _all_ available entries from the list are
# always tried regardless of their verdict, scanners are run in the order
# specified: the report from the first one detecting a virus will be used
# (providing virus names and scanner output); REARRANGE THE ORDER TO WILL;
# - it doesn't hurt to keep an unused command line scanner entry in the list
# if the program can not be found; the path search is only performed once
# during the program startup;
# CORROLARY: to disable a scanner that _does_ exist on your system,
# comment out its entry or use undef or '' as its program name/path
# (second parameter). An example where this is almost a must: disable
# Sophos 'sweep' if you have its daemonized version Sophie or SAVI-Perl
# (same for Trophie/vscan, and clamd/clamscan), or if another unrelated
# program happens to have a name matching one of the entries ('sweep'
# again comes to mind);
# - it DOES HURT to keep unwanted entries which use INTERNAL SUBROUTINES
# for interfacing (where the second parameter starts with \&).
# Keeping such entry and not having a corresponding virus scanner daemon
# causes an unnecessary connection attempt (which eventually times out,
# but it wastes precious time). For this reason the daemonized entries
# are commented in the distribution - just remove the '#' where needed.

(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck! -
How can I receive mail not addressed to me?
This is a security question. Have any of you been receiving mail not addressed to you?
Lately, after the installation of MacOSX 10.4.10 on her G4 PowerBook, a family member has been receiving letters in Apple Mail not addressed to her. Had they arrived by mail, they should have been moved to her Junk Folder by her junk filter.
At first this alarmed me greatly (well, it still does): I removed her computer from the internet & performed examinations for break-ins; for I believed these letters were not mailed, but inserted into her inbox. Because she doesn't believe in security, I was limited to examining logs, and scanning her computer in firewire target disk mode. Both MacScan and ClamXav revealed nothing.
Puzzle 1: About a month ago, there appeared a finder image (happy blue face) at the bottom of her desktop (which is a unique grey-green designed by me). This disappeared in a day or two, at 5:00p on the dot, suggesting an application was involved. When I checked the logs at the exact date & time of desktop photo switches, there was an hiatus (which could have been natural).
Puzzle 2: Today she again received a letter not addressed to her, but to '[email protected]'. (I sent a letter from a mail alias to this address, but it did not appear in her mailbox.) The letter, by the way, was a phish from Germany, so I reported it immediately to Spam Cop. An addendum to this question contains the header of this letter, with the real person's name replaced by [email protected]. (Nothing here need be removed by a moderator.)
Has anyone an explanation for either of these puzzles? I think they're both important. (Before the internet was released upon the public, Postmasters would read the recipient and subject lines of dead letters, then forward them to whoever they thought it was for. 'Krystal2' has no relation to 'correctname', so that's unlikely.) Also, my wife has allowed me to secure her computer better, and no problems similar to 1 or 2 has ever appeared. Thanks very much for any ideas!

Sorry, migraine over the holidays. Thank you: you're right! The reason I don't get any like this is because the SPAM must apparently use RFC822. This protocol appears deprecated. It appears stamped on some mail initially sent by Apple, but not others.
Thank you very much, for these have been concerning me. I'm used to seeing my name stamped by each relaying computer. A test letter I sent from my local ISP with a BCC to myself at a school across the country stamped my name at each step.
Your first sentence is slightly ambiguous. In my opinion, any problem whose only explanation at the moment is a security breach is then a security problem, and should be treated immediately as such. The Finder's image is still one.
Thanks again.

A tip on how to get mail to work with O2 SMTP servers.
I found I had a problem in Mountain Lion where Mail could not log into the O2 SMTP servers even though I was using the exact same settings that were on my iPhone, iPad and MBP running Lion?
Well I finally found a solution.
In Mail open preferences and click on Accounts and select the account in the lefthand pane.
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and in the drop down menu select Edit SMTP Servers to get:
Normally the radio button against Use Default Ports would be checked, instead check Use Custom Port and insert the number 25 and click OK.
Now back at the Accounts window click on Advanced at the top to get:
Make sure you have Port 110, on mine changing the SMPT to 25 also altered this to 25 so worth checking. When you have finished close the preferences and click on save, quite Mail then restart hopefully all should work now.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -

Mail.app doing periodic unauthenticated smtp checks
Apparently, about every 10 minutes, Mail.app tries to connect to my outgoing SMTP server but without authentication.
First off all I have no idea why Mail.app does it, maybe to keep something alive? Would make sense to do that with my IMAP account but nog SMTP.
Secondly it does that without authentication so my server mail error logs are filled with entries like:
2014-06-12 12:26:25 plain authenticator failed for hiddenhost.nl [82.217.xxx.xxx]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=[email protected])
And looking at the logs I'm not the only one. (I host many domains for customers, a lot of them using macs)
Most people don't notice this but my server also has a bruteforce attack logger and when a certain ip address tries to do too many invalid logins the ip address gets blocked in the firewall. And then my customers notice it since they can't access their mail again and start calling. I disabled this temporarily but off course that's not the right solution.
Is there some way to disable those SMTP checks? Because they are very annoying and breaks the internet! (kinda)Still an issue in Yosemite too. Am I really the only one having this problem? Those periodic SMTP check are bad. I don't mind Mail.app checking to see if things are still alive but at least do it properly. It seems Mail.app sends the username but not password (or at least not a valid password)
