Mail Server setup - EM 10.2.0.1.0
On Mail Server setup (EM 10.2.0.1.0) doesn't exists the options to set the User Name and Password, for authentication.
How do I configure a user authentication for the SMTP server?
You have to provide valid values for only the follwing two fields:
1 Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
2 and Sender's E-mail Address
Optionally you cand enter something in the Identify Sender As that will be used in the email body as an alias for the email address.
It should work. I tested this a few moments earlier.

hi..what settings work on iphone 4 - lineone mail server setup.. have tried Tiscali recommendations, which aren't biong picked up..nightmare..!
Used Imap, Pop mail..!Thanks for the quick read and response. Do you feel the issue might lie with the fact that it is a Mac Mini? And possibly just not powerful enough to run Leopard Server? I have to say in our trials with MacPro it was like night and day as to how they performed. And if you could elaborate on this "Many VPNs don't play well with NAT so your VPN server should have a direct connection to the public network (preferably firewalled, of course, but not NATted)." Most every SoHo and for that matter uses simple NAT translation for security even our multi thousand dollar Cisco PIX and ASA's are basic NAT devices to start with. How would you put the VPN on public net while keeping the attack surface low for the rest of the services like file, web, mail and print?
Don't get me wrong I want this to work more than you can imagine. We are so tired of supporting MSFT technologies that cost thousands a year in antivirus, antispyware, antispam and other malware protection for the enterprise. We know that Leopard has great potential but for an integrator, getting this system up and functional is not an easy task. And the worst part of it is every time we have called for support the tech always lets out a sigh when they hear we have run standard setup because they are not allowed to walk us thru the server console to make repairs. And have been told by 3 techs so far that this is a new product and the support avenues are not there for standard since it just supposed to work out of the box. But when it doesn't then ohh well. Which is sorta sad...

Sane virtual mail server setup?
I'm giving up. I want a simple mail server setup (imaps, pop3s, smtps) with virtual user support that I can comfortably configure from the web (PostfixAdmin, web-cyradm, courier-web). I want to manage multiple users on multiple domains. It appears that the task I want to accomplish is insanely complex for some reason. I'd like to use as few different software packages as possible.
I can't find a simple and sane tutorial on the topic and I don't even care what software is going to be used. Of course, I did search and play around with the config for hours but to no avail. The tutorials in the Arch wiki are no good either, they are either outdated or do not allow me to do web configuration.
Help me out here, please.It's always good to have alternatives, but out of curiousity, did you not try the courier-mta wiki? I used that wiki guide recently and it had me running with a system like what you describe without too much fuss. The only stuff I haven't tried/used is web-based administration or mail access; perhaps this was the problem for you?

Hi.
I am in trouble setting up a basic mail server. I just spent the last 10 or so hours, in one more try to set it, and yet no results.
Please, give some help as i am becoming sort of desperated with it
This time, i followed this guide since the beginning.
What I've done:
- Created a user vmail, with home directory set on /var/mail/vmail/
- Had a LAMP server already working.
- Created two databases: postfix_db and roundcube_db, owned by postfix_user and roundcube_user respectively.
- Since it is for personal use and i don't use "old/odd clients like Outlook" i skipped smtps. And made the following files:
My postfix main.cf(every commented line removed):

- Installed postfixadmin and roundcube and made their apache alias.
- Made directories writable for them.

- From what i can see, postfixadmin used and populated its database, but not roundcube.
- I can open postfixadmin and log in with no apparent errors (not that i know what to do with it instead of roundcube, but at least works...)
- Whenever i open roundcube it begins to output errors everywhere about db connection (I was only able after changing its .htaccess to Allow from all, is it a bad idea?)

Thats all i know. Whats wrong? (i already tried to set db logins with no pw at all, but still with the same problems)
How far am i to be able to send/receive one email? Please, tell me i am close...
Mail servers could be so much more linear to set up
Thanks for your help. Time to get some sleep!The roundcube db schema needs to setup manually. See /usr/share/webapps/roundcube/INSTALL
Also, from your /etc/webapps/postfixadmin/config.inc.php:
$CONF['domain_path'] = 'NO';
$CONF['domain_in_mailbox'] = 'YES';
$CONF['maildir_name_hook'] = 'NO';
..which results in /var/mail/vmail/[email protected]
From your dovecot.conf
mail_home = /var/mail/vmail/%d/%u
...which results in /var/mail/vmail/domain.com/user

Help with Mail Server Setup/DynDNS
I don't have a static IP so I setup an account/registered a domain with DynDNS. The test site is hosted fine via Leopard Server. However, I am trying to setup a mail server to no avail. Configured Mail Server through the assistant and ended up with these settings: domain name - performa460.com hostname - mail.performa460.com POP, IMAP, and SMTP all enabled. Setup a user in workgroup manager and enabled mail. Still Cannot access mail through Mail.app and no users are listed on the Maintenance/Accounts pane. Obviously I'm new to this and need to be pointed in the right direction. Any help is apreciated; thanks!
DynDNS's base service won't work for you if you want to use your own full domain name unless you use their Custom DNS paid service. I'm assuming this is something you've already done. If so, you need to configure both the host name and the MX records for your domain to point to the right places. You'll need to set up DynDNS name servers through whatever domain registrar you use and then configure the CustomDNS service through DynDNS's web interface. Once you can successfully connect using a web browser, then look into your mail settings.
However, depending on what provider you're using for your broadband, you may have the mail ports blocked by your ISP and/or in your cablemodem/router. Be sure to open 25 and 587 and any other ports you intend to use.
Finally, you may find that even if you've configured everything correctly, other providers will refuse your mail as spam (google, yahoo, etc) because your IP address is on a "residential subnet" or because your forward and reverse DNS don't match. That means you'll need a mail reflector to bounce your mail off of with a proper IP. DynDNS has inbound and outbound mailhop services that you can use for an additional fee.
Bottom line is, because spambots inhabit a lot of dynamic IP blocks, you have to jump through a ton of hoops to get it working reliably. -
Redundent mail server setup (backup mail server)
i have been reading all the post of setting up a mackup postfix server. i have looked at the configuration files and have a second machine ready to be implemented but have some questions on how exactly the backup works. my current setup is:
- xserve1 with 10.4.3 OD master running mail, web, dns, ichat, ftp, host name is mail.mydomain.com
- xserve2 with 10.4.3 (i will make this replica) running web and backup dns
- G4 466MHz with 10.4.3 Server running mail and web, host name is mail2.mydomain.com (this is to bemy postfix backup server)
all 3 are behind a firewall with NAT. they have local LAN IPs with NAT to 3 separate WAN IPs and open ports for the needed services.
my first question is: do i need to run dns as well on mail2.mydomain.com?
while i understand that mail stays in the queue on the postfix backup, does that mean that while mail.mydomain.com (primary mail server) is down users will not be getting any mail? can the users actually login to the mail2.mydomain.com and if yes how do they authorize?
should i keep mail2.mydomain.com as a standalone or make it part of the directory?
any info is appreciated.
thanks
martin
xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)don't mail servers hold mail for days anyway and keep
retrying and when our mail comes back up will get all
the mail?
Yes, they typically do (unless some braindead administrator has configured his server to try only for a few hours or so).
i assume there is no difference if my
backup mail server runs on 10.3.9 then?
None whatsoever.
- is there a practical way to set up a mail that
clinets can login to and check mail while the primary
server is down?
Practical? No.
can the backup server forward as well
while it holds to the queue?
Why would you want that? Where should it forward to if the primary is down? As soon as the primary is up, the secondary will forward to i.
the last time i had some
coruption and problems with reconstruct (which you
helped me with), we were down for 24 hours. i am
trying to avoid this. i have an image and i run
mailbfr to backup i assume i can use that in case of
harware failure or massive os corruption that may
take hours to fix.
If push comes to shove this may help. Although images are never too brilliant for mail services recovery.
my problem is that if this happens
during the week, during daytime we cannot really
afford to be down at that time.
This is really your call. Only you can decide how much money you want/need to throw at resilience. But if you decide you cannot afford more than an hour of downtime, you will need far more than an onsite secondary mx

Greetings,
I need some pro's cons, Ideas taunts and general whaddia thinks.
Setting up a new mail server. dpG5 xserve w/ 10,000 rpm drives
my thoughts are to take the user information off the machine to a second G5 xserve running as an ODM.
I thought about splitting IMAP/pop services to another box. keeping my primary SMTP Spam/AV away from cyrus, relaying inbound messages to the IMAP server.
so I would have
ODM.mydomain
SMTP1.mydomain
IMAP1.mydomain
-- Does anyone see any performance or configuration hick ups here?
now comes the ugly question.
How do I set up each smtp server. the imap server is still going to have to run smtp to deliver and recieve delivery of messages. but I need them to answer for mydomain, not host1.mydomain. I'm a little foggy on what comes first
--jThere are multiple ways of achieving this.
The simplest is for the servers to deliver via smtp to each other.
So (very very simplified):
Since you said you use OD, I assume all servers will refer to your OD master for user account details.
Server 1 (Filter)
Postfix & amavisd & ClamAV & spamassassin
main.cf and master.cf should be configured like you are used to now except that you only want to be able to send to the content filter and nowhere else.
In amavisd.conf uncomment and change IP (to IP of SMTP/IMAP server) of this line:
$forward_method = 'smtp:127.0.0.1:10025';
No relay settings needed, because you want mail to go the filter first and not to another SMTP server.
Server 2 (Mail Stores)
Postfix & Cyrus
main.cf and master.cf should be configured like you are used to now except that you do not want any kind of filtering anymore. Also set to accept only from Server 1 (since it should not accept incoming mail from the outside world directly)
Server 3 (Outgoing SMTP)
Postfix
main.cf and master.cf should be configured like you are used to now except that you do not need to accept incoming mail. Also no filtering needed (unless you want to scan outgoing mail)
Mail clients:
Point incoming to Server 2 and outgoing to Server 3
That's pretty much it. I know it's not a walkthrough , but then again this kind of setup is better fully understood rather than copied step-by-step.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Alex
P.S.
-Optionally you could use Server 3 as a secondary MX for backup reasons.
-For most Postfix settings see : http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
-All of this can be further improved with firewall rules -
Xserve mail server: setup postfix to ignore/delete undeliverable mail
Hi,
I've trouble with mail server on Leopard 10.5.8@xserve, that many mails has unknown recepients. In ServerAdmin I may set only copy undelivarable mail to existing mail. But I want delete this. There are some way as manually configure postfix?
Thanks.The roundcube db schema needs to setup manually. See /usr/share/webapps/roundcube/INSTALL

That doesn't fit together. -
I admit that I am pretty much clueless when it comes to setting up a mail server.
The setup:
I have a local network at home with about 5 computers. Inside the network we have a router, a store-brought one that has bulit in DSL modem and wireless. It is out central DNS server and provides us with a local network domain name. Then we have a domain for the outside world to see us. Let's just call it "shadow.dot.com". I opened up the ports on the router to allow in port 80 and all POP3 addresses. I installed apache, php, mysql, and postfix on my Linux machine. I used webmin to configure postfix. Users can recieve emails, let's say from my hotmail account to [email protected] However, when I use webmins view usermail feature fromt he postfix area, I click on a user, then compose but my home local domain is listed instead of my shadow.do.com domain. I had in the configuration to place that outside domain in the address. Well, either way, I cannot send a message. It remains in the message queue and refuses to send.
I do not have smtp ports open because I want this secure. I only want to be able to send email from inside my local network. This way there is no chance at someone hacking my smtp part and sending tons of email spam with my address.
For this setup, what do I need in my main.cf configuration file? Can someone just put all the options in there that I need so I can copy and paste for the most part? I need to be able to send out, and I also need PHP to use it to send email to people. Do I need to unblock smtp? Do I need to change any settings with PHP or will it use postfix by default?
Thanks.There is a send mail queue that is viewable via webmin. I don't know if it errored or not, it just stayed in the queue and never sent.
I uninstalled postfix and then reinstalled it with default configs again. I modified a few settings to reflect my outside domain. Then I set up sasl to log into my ISPs mail server. Not mail sorta sends. Some PHP scripts still have trouble with it. I guess I need to fix those manually because some PHP scripts work and some don't so it might be an error with the script itself.
Mail is only sent via smtp via port 25, not recieved. Recieving port is in the one hundreds. That is the only port needed to be open for recieving of mail.
Thanks for you tips. I have I dynamic IP so liem clued me in on what to do. I don't know if it was a combination of bad config and dynamic IP, but it sorta works now, so I guess have more tweaking to do. -
we are in the process of setting up a SL mail server and have pretty much everything running nicely, except mail.
our setup is as follows:
• previous email provider mx records are still active but have allocated higher priority to new server's mx record and according to the ISP those changes have since propagated;
• billion router as dhcp server for a shared studio space/network (same subnet for a variety of parties - we know not good, but since we need to share printers, etc. the only easy way to do so!), allocating a static IP to our new server with all necessary ports forwarded as well;
• DNS configured and running, does reverse lookups and added mail.example.com as A record;
• webmail works, i.e. we can login with a test users credentials;
we experience 2 problems:
1. incoming emails to an activated account get rejected with a 550 error message, still indicating our previous mail providers nameservers;
2. currently only SMTP seems to be working, i.e. we can send emails from external clients but strangely not from the server itself using mail.example.com (it does work using the servers internal IP address though);
3. if we telnet into mail.example.com from outside the studio we get connected, but internally again this only works with the IP address;
as we have trawled the net for some clues and unsuccessfully tried various things, we are beginning to wonder if something on the router is interfering.
any help or thoughts much appreciated.
ds.If you can't access your server using the domain name mail.example.com it sound to me like you have a dns problem.
When you ping your server's mail.example.com from your internal network what ip are you getting?
Are you getting a your server's internal ip or external ip? -
Hello everyone,
I am having problems with setting up the e-mail response.
How do you authenticate the smtp server from FCS?
In the outgoing mail server, I put "smtp.broadband.myISPprovider.com" - string I got from them. There is nowhere in FCS to put user name and password for authentication.
The e-mail response does not even show in the "View All jobs" window like every other response.
I tried every flavor of the string, including the port :587 , my e-mail address and such with no luck.
What am I missing?
If anyone could help, please.
Thanks
RadekThanks Simon,
I've just spoken to Apple and sure enough, the outgoing mail needs to go through an open relay server for it to work. Well..., open relay servers are getting blacklisted by most ISPs because of all the spam. I also spoke to my ISP and they do not offer any open relay so I'm stuck. I don't want to leave our system vulnerable by going through some shady open mail server. Apple needs to figure out how to make the authentication possible from FCS.
Thanks again

Hi Experts,
I want to set-up a mail server so as to perform some email-related scenarios, so please tell me the procedure to set-up a mail server in my local desktop. Is it cumbersome to set-up a mail server for testing purposes?
Can I use one of the options available on www.google.com? Is it reliable?
Thanks.
Edited by: Abhishek01 on Jul 23, 2009 12:16 PMHi,
Better to checkw with your network team for desk top mai server, why because we need few autoorization for configuration.
Follow below steps for mail configuration.
1. First we need to configure basis level setp like SMTP, POP3 through Tcode SCOT then
2. Take URL for SMTP & POP3 from your network team & basis team
3. Follow below links for scenario configuration

Mail server setup in this environment
here's the environment:
- od master on one xserve running 10.5.x, upgraded from 10.4.11
- od replica on second xserve running 10.5.x, upgraded from 10.4.11
- mail server on new xserve with fresh install of 10.5.x
is it enough to have the mail server in this arrangement configured as an od client, just bound to od, or does it also need to be a replica to provide authentication information and for mail to work properly?
with it just bound to od -- whether this has anything to do with it, i'm not sure -- mail was working but not quite as smoothly as hoped. new and existing users could login to webmail, i could enable mail services for the users on the od master or via wgm on the mail server, but i still got some errors in the logs about accounts not having sacl entries for mail, even though they do.
what do you think?thanks. i'll try that. wasn't sure if it was strictly necessary, because most functions seemed to work with the server bound as a client.

Mail server setup for LAN use only
Hello,
I want to use smtp-notify for alert mails.
But I want to send these mails to LAN only - no internet connection is available.
How do I set up a mail server on SOL11E (pop or imap)?
The mails in /var/mail are just a simple file so I can't use them (like svccfg setnotify problem-diagnosed mailto:root@localhost )
I want to have a system where I look into my Inbox of my locally connected client. So I will be automatically aware if something happened to the Sol11E system without looking into the log files or /var/mail manually.
ThanksDo you need this mail server just for the zfs scrub reports or for all e-mail? How are clients currently getting e-mail? If you already have a mail server inside the company, or if you already have hosted mail server for company e-mail, that should be sufficient.
If you do have an internal mail server, you should be able to set the DS parameter in sendmail.cf to specify the mail server. If you don't have an internal mail server, and you are all using external e-mail accounts, that should still work. By default, sendmail (if running) should be able to send e-mail outside the LAN. Sendmail uses DNS to locate the mail server for the recipient.
You can verify that dns is working on the client with nslookup or dig
-> nslookup -query=mx gmail.com

I don't know if Solaris 11 Express has a companion CD. Solaris 10 does- and you can MAYBE install packages from it. On OpenSolaris there is the /usr/bin/updatemanager and /usr/bin/packagemanager commands. I suspect Solaris 11 Express also has the same. On OpenSolaris you could download packages from the OpenSolaris internet repository. It MAY include the IMAP server. (it does not for the OpenSolaris server I have.)
Alternately, you could look for it on sunfreeware.com ( the Solaris 10 packages might work) or compile it from source.
