Mail Server Configuration in Planning

Hi,
We have installed all the Hyperion Products and developed a planning application.
Now we want to configure the mail server.
Do we need to run the Configuration Utility for mail server configuration or any other way to configure the mail server?
while running the configuration utility, if we use the existing RDBMS tables instead of dropping or creating new table....our application will retain or will it cause any problem to our exsting application?
Thanks,
Naveen Suram

Hi,
If you just talking about the email functionality within planning then you can set it up in planning itself.
Log into the application as an admin owner, administration > application settings > enter SMTP server in the Email Server section. save.
File > Preferences > Enter Email-address and Enable E-mail notification.
Cheers

Mail server configuration mappings file

Hello
I have just installed the following mail serverSun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-0.15 (built Feb 9 2007)
libimta.so 6.3-0.15 (built 19:27:56, Feb 9 2007)
SunOS mail.yurnero.com 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
After installation I want it to be able to perform the following operations which it is not currently allowing
1- Sending mails through thunderbird/outlook * Authenticated *
Currently it displays the message "relaying not allowed" I understand that I need to configure the mappings file, yet the mappings file i had of the old server (2005Q4) does'nt works
Can anybody guide me about how to create a mappings file, the administration reference only gives syntax and not a real life scenario
2- Sending mails to other domains
I have done the dns entry, while it is still not working , what other things should i check?
regards
Kimi

First, you should connect to sunsolve.com, and download the current patches for your original release of 6.3. Many bugs are fixed.
now, you need to decide on the range of IP addresses that the server considers "internal" to your environment. Those go in the "internal_ip" table in the mapping file.
Also, you need to configure your mail client to use authentication. The server configuration by default allows this, and shows an authenticated smtp connection by "EA" in the enqueue log entry, for "Enqueue, Authenticated". Authenticated users are allowed to relay, so the fact that you got the message, "relaying not permitted" shows that your client did not authenticate.
Remember, after changing the mappings file, or many other configuration details, you must run:
imsimta cnbuild
and then restart the portion of the MTA affected. In this case, it's the dispatcher:
imsimta restart dispatcher

Reg: SMTP Mail server configuration

Hi Experts:
Could you please tell me is it possible to configure to mail servers in the same ECC system, If it possible please tell me the steps.
Regards,
Kishorejak

Hello,
my ECC 6.04 system says this is not possible:
... It is also not possible to create more SMTP nodes. The SMTP node only exists once in the system....
This is copied from the help text when i tried to copy the SMTP node in transaction SCOT.
So i think you have to solve this externally by some mail technique, but i am no expert in this area.

Set up mail server in 11.1.2.3

Hi
I am trying to set up mail server for a planning application 11.1.2.3.Under Administration > Application Settings > Advanced Settings > System Settings tab, I cannot find the Email server option.
Where can i enter the details for email server in 11.1.2.3?

"Administrators must specify the email server details before others can enable email notification. The email server details for approvals notifications come from the EPM Registry, which are set using the EPM System Configurator under Common Settings."

Connect to my 10.6 mail server from an android tablet

I have an Samsumg Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (Android 4.0.1) tablet and I need to set up my email for my business on it. I have it set up fine on my iPhone and iPad and desktop (Mac and Windows both), but when I try to set it up on my Android tablet it either says the username or password is incorrect (I am positive it is not) or it cannot contact the server. I've about pulled my hair out trying to figure out which setting is messing things up, but on the tablet the choices are few, so I'm about at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that there is no option on the Android to use MD5 challenge/response for authentication. If that were it, why would it say "Incorrect username or password"?
I know this isn't an Android forum, but it IS an Apple email server. Any peculiarities I might be overlooking might be the problem, so that is why I ask here.

There is nothing unique, special or weird going on here, there is only the usual slog of figuring out what an individual mail client requires and offers, and what the mail server provides and can offer, and aligning the two within your local expectations and needs.
OS X Server uses standard Unix mail server tools. Postfix and Dovecot. And again, there is nothing special, weird, or unique here.
Check your mail server logs for details around the connection failure. Assuming you see the connection error arriving, of course, and that's a clue in itself. You'll want and need to look at both the IMAP or POP logs, and the SMTP logs.
The usual triggers are the firewall settings, the particular required ports for your mail server configuration, whether SSL is used or not, and possibly the encoding of the credentials.
Check with the Android client settings, with the Android documentation, and possibly then with an Android forum around what your particular client requires, when connecting with Postfix and Dovecot tools. (These are standard Unix tools, so I'd expect there are Android-specific discussions around the network. Here's one discussion, though the trigger for what that Android user encountered is probably a firewall block against outbound TCP port 25 connections from random boxes — boxes that are not known mail servers — that is increasingly implemented around the 'net.)
And FWIW, OS X Server 10.6 has a layer of management tools atop Postfix with Server Admin key among these, and I'd manage via those first and not via the direct postfix commands. But the lower-level postfix commands do work on OS X Server, if you're looking around. In other words, read-only, don't use the lower-level Postfix tools to make changes, unless Server Admin et al don't allow you access to the setting.

Narcissistic Mail Server

I'm testing a new mail server configuration and have developed a fatal problem I’m unable to puzzle out on my own. The real life configuration involves four servers, but I’m starting with two to simplify testing. I have an existing configuration using 10.5 which works fine, but want to migrate to 10.6, which doesn’t. I’ve a good knowledge of OS X Server, and am familiar but not expert with postfix.
I run an ISP-style setup. Each server should act as MX backup for the other. Both test servers use virtual domains and OS X Server style aliases held in Open Directory. All other services on both servers appear to be running clean and happy.
With the names altered to try to make this more comprehensible, it all looks like this:
*Test Server #1*
ip: 111.111.111.111
main domain: glutinous.com
host name: wheat.glutinous.com
test virtual domain: sourdough.com
test account: bryansourdoughcom
test address: [email protected]
virtual_domains: sourdough.com
relay_domains: pumpernickle.com
*Test Server #2*
ip: 222.222.222.222
main domain: glutinous.com
host name: rye.glutinous.com
test virtual domain: pumpernickle.com
test account: bryanpumpernicklecom
test address: [email protected]
virtual_domains: pumpernickle.com
relay_domains: sourdough.com
DNS
DNS for all hosts and virtual domains resolve correctly. MX records look like this:
sourdough.com. 3600 IN MX 10 mail.wheat.glutinous.com.
sourdough.com. 3600 IN MX 20 mail.rye.glutinous.com.
pumpernickle.com. 3600 IN MX 10 mail.rye.glutinous.com.
pumpernickle.com. 3600 IN MX 20 mail.wheat.glutinous.com.
*And Now, Some Pain*
The hosts of [email protected] and [email protected] happily exchange mail with any server on earth except for each other.
If [email protected] sends mail to [email protected], its host wheat.glutinous.com creates the account bryanpumpernicklecom on itself, and receives the message itself. It never contacts the destination host of [email protected] (rye.glutinous.com) at all. 
And vice versa. When asked to speak to each other, the two servers become neurotically introspect, stare into their own navels, and send test messages to themselves.
*A Clue*
Continuing the example above, if I create the following entry in virtual_users, the problem vanishes and everything works.
[email protected] [email protected]
*But Still Clueless*
My reach has exceeded my grasp, my brain is fried, and I just don’t get it. I particularly don’t understand why telling wheat.glutinous.com that [email protected] should be forwarded to itself persuades it to send the message of to rye.glutinous.com.
The output of +postconf -n+ is below.
I’m going take a break, repair the espresso machine, and pray I can depend on the kindness of strangers.
Thanks,
Bryan

Mail Server: problem configuring dovecot with postifx and virtualhosts

Hi all,
I'm am struggling trying to configure a mail server. I have a dedicated server running archlinux.
I want to setup a complete mail server, ie: web access (for that I installed roundcube) and being able to retrieve mails on any e-mail client.
I followed this guide, from the documentation but I've read that courier-imap is a lot more resources hungry than dovecot. As I could not have it working using the documentation, I tought I would use dovecot. The problem is that I am not able to configure it.
What I already have up and running: web server (nginx) with postfixadmin and roundcubemail, postfix, mysql.
Now, I want to be able to send and receive mails using dovecot. Could you guide me a little in order to replace courier-imap with dovecot, starting from this documentation? I already have my databases configured, a vmail user, ssl certificates and postifx configured for virtualhosts. Seems that the only thing missing is imap + smts thrue TLS.
Thanks for any help.

Mail server and DNS configuration

I have an XServe G4 running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Server, and I have successfully configured two domains that I purchased from GoDaddy as websites on this XServe. It's behind an Airport Extreme, and I have forwarded a bunch of ports in order to enable FTP, SSH, Web, remote Server Administration, webmail, and I have also forwarded the IMAP and SMTP ports. All of these services work except for email, so I am wondering if there is any special DNS settings that I need to configure in the GoDaddy total dns configuration page. I have the MX record pointed directly to my IP, just like the A record. I also have mail.mydomain.com pointed to the A record's IP (maybe I described that poorly, but I hope it gets the point across). I am able to log into webmail and send email out to other people, but when I try replying back to the email which I sent from webmail, I get a bounced message. I also cannot configure a Mail client, but I think I need to get the accounts at least working first. Can someone provide a list of DNS requirements or server configuration requirements for me to check off in order to make this happen? Does anyone know of any great resources to learn this kind of stuff? I'm kinda new to the server thing.
Thanks!
Paul

Anyone has any clue about this error?

Hi.
This I have seen before...
It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:
http://blog.sharepointrx.com/2010/11/18/setting-up-the-iis-smtp-server-for-sending-email-from-sharepoint-2010-on-server-2008-r2/
Check that and try again.

Apple Mail Pop Server Configuration

Hi all,
It's not often I post on here but here we go. I have been using Macs ever since the Lisa Electronic Office and have always been perplexed by one strange quirk of the Apple Mail account configuration process. This quirk is now becoming extremely troublesome.
I use BT/Yahoo (I'm not talking about the famous password rejection problem). One main account and several sub-accounts which, for all intents and purposes, can be considered as separate accounts.
Now the problem arises because, while each has a separate email address, they all use the same pop server settings. ie. mail.btinternet.com.
Mail will not allow me to use two accounts with the same pop settings. I can set up and verify the account (doesn't stay on-line because SSL is set and the port is wrong) but when I come make a change and save it I get the message:
Invalid Directory
The account path /Users/fredbloggs/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]@mail.btinternet.com is already being used by the account “Another One”
Obviously I've changed the account names. Another One is one of my other accounts. I've got one working by using pop.btinternet.com but I've run out of working aliases. I should be able to set up 10 sub accounts and access them all with Apple Mail. IMAP works OK but that is something I don't wish to use for a number of reasons.
Anybody else come across this?
I can do all this with Entourage (horrible) and Outlook which I do not intend to buy. Why does Apple make life so difficult sometimes?

OK Folks,
To save confusion and to all those people who think I am using the same email address for everything, here they are.
     British Telecomm Residential
          [email protected]          (USAAF 381st Bomb Group Heavy)
          [email protected]     (My company)
          [email protected]          (Master Account for everything else)
     British Telecomm Business
          [email protected]          BT Business E-Mail - I don't use
     Others I have are:
          [email protected]
          [email protected]
          [email protected]
[email protected] currently exists as an IMAP account which works but something I would rather not have.
As you can see, they are all separate and distinct.
As I said before, all hese work just fine with Entourage (nasty and a dead product) and Outlook (something I'm not prepared to buy when the Apple offering should do it all for me and integrates really nicely with iCal, Address Book, Notes etc.
Thank you everybody for trying to help and thanks Defcom but, as you thought, that article is really old hat now.
I am now going to open a large bottle and sit in that darkened room.
If I now get flooded with spam, I know where it's come from.
Goodnight, Good Morning or G'Day depending on where you're from..

Looking for a decent guide to walk me through configuring the mail server, testing the configuration, etc. plus the obvious DNS and other configuration necessary to make it work and access it from the outside world.
Any suggestions?

Nobody is an idiot, period. You can ask all you want here
Internet Mail
In order to run your own domestic mail server with an address of [email protected] you first need to register domain.com at a registrar. I use GoDaddy and Name.com, but please look around to find a registrar to fit your needs and budget - it usually is about $10,- a year.
Second you need to set up the DNS at your registrar in the sense that you tell their system to make an A-record for the name server.example.com pointing to the public IP of your modem.
Third you need to set up an MX record with a preference of - say - 10 and the host would be the A-record you've just created. Please follow the instructions of the registrar you choose, the'll have a manual or you can contact their customer support.
Fouth you need the set up port forwarding within your the device that gets the public ip (usually your modem) for ports 25 (TCP), 587 (TCP) to forward the ports to the internal ip address of your server.
You can usually consult the manual of your modem's manufacteren online.
Background information
DNS
Domain Naming System is a way of exchanging a name like apple.com for an ip address like
17.149.160.49. It's like one big conversion table, which you need because computers don't know what to do with domain names except forward the request you put in to a DNS Server that you have to specify somewhere, a popular one is Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) which you are free to use. You don't really *need* a local DNS server.
Private IPs
The ip's of 192.168.*.*, 172.16.*.* and 10.0.*.* are typical Local Area Network addresses.
This is all within your house or building.
Public IPs
Your modem is assigned the public IP address normally, unless you set up your modem in bridge mode, in which case the router would need to handle authentication (PPPoE).

.Create an IT Resource of Type Mail Server. Give Name as "Email Server.Now populate the values for all the parameter for example Server,username,password and authentication type.
.Go to System Configuration and in Email Server property value give the name of IT resource you created in step1 so the name will be "Email Server".
