10.5.2 Virtual Domains - 2 user questions

(NOTE: Generic host and domain names used in this mail, real ones are used for the actual machine)
Clean 10.5.1 install, immediately hit software update multiple times till 10.5.2 and any other offered updates were installed.
Went into WGM and created the accounts for my virtual domain users (I will not be doing any mail accounts on the main server which is called localhost.local) using the same setup as the 10.5.1 tutorial referenced many times on this site. I made no by-hand file changes other than making the bounces soft instead of hard, as I think that virtual domains are supposed to work now with 10.5.2.
Went into Server Admin, added Mail as a service and configured it with my virtual domain in the Advanced/Hosting tab and turned on debug output for SMTP and POP.
Pointed my firewall at the new mail server so that DNS would be correct
Tried sending a mail from my test user to my test user from a mail client on my LAN.
YAY! It works!
Ok, so with the WGM version of virtual domains, where do I put the dreaded catch-all user for the one domain that required it?
Do I just make a virtual user account with the second shortname being @mydomain1.com?
And, for forward-only mail addresses do I make a virtual user account with the "mail" tab set to forward?
Or, do I still use the tutorial method for those features where I edit files directly?
Thanks, and (fingers crossed) last question for a while.

Thanks for the feedback. Good to hear virtual domains set up from scratch work in 10.5.2.
Ok, so with the WGM version of virtual domains, where do I put the dreaded catch-all user for the
one domain that required it?
Do I just make a virtual user account with the second shortname being @mydomain1.com?
To be honest, I never tried, but I seriously doubt this will work (worth trying though). I'd put it in /etc/postfix/virtual (can coexist fine with WGM, but you'll need to add the reference to it to main.cf
And, for forward-only mail addresses do I make a virtual user account with the "mail" tab set to forward?
As above, worth trying. Doubt it'll work through WGM.
Generally speaking and from my experience and assuming there are no bugs, Server Admin and WGM allow for basic setups. Anything slightly advanced is better done through the command line. Sad but true.

  • Only 1 Virtual domain per user in Cisco Prime Infrastructure ?

    Hello,
    I wanted to add several Virtual Domains in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 (the UI allows it). But then I observe that the user can only see the first Virtual Domain (the first par alphabetical order).
    Is it normal (by design), or is it a bug, or is there something that understand wrong ?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    David

    A user can have multiple virtual domain assigned , but only one is active at login.
    Anyway the user can change the current virtual domain using the virtual domain drop-down list at the right top of the page.

  • Virtual domains vs alias

    Awhile back I was posting quite a bit about mac mail and Windows AD questions. That was in prepartion to move a client from Powweb hosted pop/exchange to they're own Mail server. 
    I'm converting them this week but there was something I wanted to make sure could happen.
    They essentially have 3 domains.  Domain1 is the primary. Domain2 and Domain3 are for other purposes but all recieve mail most of which is forwarded.
    Most of domain2 are just forwards to accounts on the primary. So that's just adding the [email protected] to the user's account?  Does the gui create the alias in postfix automatically?
    Domain3 however are not forwards. They are accounts for the owner's family domain. I'm guessing the best thing is to just create a seperate user account for those accounts and keep them seperate?
    To allow this to be setup seperately on clients and devices (iphone, android, etc) should i just create a seperate accounts? user1 for [email protected] and user1a [email protected]? If there is a better way to accomplish besides a second user account I'm all for that.
    My next question; users that have addresses for domain1 and domain2 listed on their account have the ability to respond with either address? That's using an email client like outlook or thunderbird? This isn't really a necessity as domain2 email addresses are just forwards in powweb to domain1 addresses. I was curious.
    User1
    [email protected]
    [email protected]

    If you have the email service turned on, creating a user automatically creates an email account under the domain that was setup for email.  Apple does have virtual domains, both web and email.  I've only worked with web virtual domains and that was very little.  Basically to get two websites running. 
    I've never worked with the email virtual domain so I'm not sure how it works.  Email virtual domains are setup in the server admin app under the advanced tab.  My personal email server is Axigen running on Fedora Core which handles multiple domains (not virtual) which is why I have not looked at virtual email domains on Lion Server.
    The WGM>Accounts>selected user>info tab is for Open Directory information to my knowledge.  Not sure how, or even if, that interacts with the email service.

  • Calendar Server Virtual Domains Free Busy - Access Denied

    Version 6.3-11.01
    I cannot get free busy to work with any domains but the default domain for the life of me.
    The LDAP searches are going through and appear to be returning the correct values however on virtual domain calendars the following is returned:
    PRODID:-//Sun/Calendar Server//EN
    METHOD:PUBLISH
    VERSION:2.0
    X-NSCP-WCAP-ERRNO:28
    END:VCALENDAR
    I looked at the aces for the calendars in question:
    Returns Free busy:
    @@o^a^r^g;@@o^c^wdeic^g;@^a^sf^g;@^c^^g;@^p^r^g
    Does Not return Free busy:
    @@o^a^r^g;@@o^c^wdeic^g;@^a^sf^g;@^c^^g;@^p^r^g
    I have tried enabling and disabling anonymous calendar access to no avail.
    Is there a bug in this version that prevents the return of the free busy information?

    Is this free-busy across domains i.e. [email protected] attempting to see free-busy information for [email protected] or inter-domain searches?
    Inter-domain searches, or non logged in anonymous searches.
    What client are you using to check free-busy information (Calendar Express, UWC/CE, Convergence, Thunderbird + Lightning Plugin) and what version are you running?
    I am attempting to get it to work with the outlook 2007 plugin version: 7.3-05.01
    Simply using the following:
    curl http://hostname:3080/get_freebusy.wcap?mail=user@defaultdomain&fmt-out=text/calendar&noxtokens=1
    Returns free busy
    With hosted users I receive the access denied error. In outlook I receive an error: An error occurred reading Internet free/busy data. General Failure.
    Does outlook require anonymous access to a calendar domain be enabled for get_freebusy?
    >
    You also need to check the icsExtendedDomainPrefs: attribute for the domain:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4437/6n6jckqsu?a=view
    I have tried using this to enable anonymous access to no avail.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Mailman + Postfix + Virtual Domains

    I'm going nuts trying to get this thing working... I spent the best part of yesterday getting Postfix and Courier working with Virtual Domains and a PostgreSQL backend. That's all working fine.
    Now I've spent about the last 5 - 6 hours trying to get Mailman working -- obviously without any luck.
    Can someone point me in the right direction? I tried installing from source, and following the 'official' installation manual, but that doesn't cover Virtual Domains very well (obviously not well enough to get it working at least).
    *Then* I realized that their's a package in EXTRA for Mailman, so I wiped the source install I did, and installed the package, but I'm still stuck.
    I think the main part of my problem, is the manual says that I should have a 'data/virtual-mailman' in the mailman installation directory, but I don't, and can't find any information on how it is created!
    At the end of the day, I just need a single damn mail list on one of my virtual domains for a dozen people -- if anyone has an easier solution than this, please suggest!

    Correct. My domain in question is ryla9810.org which has one alias that forwards to my gmail account (phil@), and I need one mail list with a dozen members (team@). The forward works, but the maillist is causing me grief
    Thanks for all your input so far

  • 10.5.2 and virtual domain changes

    So I have been holding off on the 10.5.2 update until I knew it seemed stable for a lot of people. So I'm thinking about updating our servers.
    My only question is right now I have multiple virtual domains being used. I have had to use the/etc/postfix/virtual to add them since virtual domains was broken. My question is if I upgrade to 10.5.2, will I need to edit the virtual file anymore? Do I need to get rid of my changes in that file? Will I have to continue to edit that file as I need to add new virtual users? Or after I update, is virtual users just going to work for me as I add them in WGM?
    Sorry I just need to be prepared for after this update of how do I manager the mail server.
    Thanks!

    My experience with 10.5.2 VH is that very little, if anything, is fixed in them. One still cannot get things working properly.
    Where art thou, Apple Engineers? Still working on the iPhone SDK? Pity -- the management of VH accounts in email remains woefully under-engineered. Thinking of going to another solution or even back to 10.4 where at least it would work without so many cludges.

  • Setting up email accounts for virtual domains....

    Hello,
    I am bringing my email hosting in-house and am having problems getting it to work. I follow the documentation as best I can and am ending up with the inability to log into the account with my email client.
    I can send emails the the account without any bounce back, and my email client (Apple Mail) can find the server, but my login is failing.
    I can also ping the domain and it is resolving to the correct IP.
    I've :
    - enabled virtual domains
    - added the domain
    - added a user with the a shortname of [email protected]
    - given the user access to the mail service in server admin.
    My client is setup as:
    username: [email protected]
    passwork: ****
    incoming server: mail.virtualdomain.com
    My hunch is that I am not correctly setting up the user and/or their permissions.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    cheers,
    jr

    Thanks for the pointer.
    the mailaccess.log is empty and the ApplePassword* has no references to mail access attempts.
    Although I am not sure what needs to be fixed, it does seem to indicate that the server isn't responding to login attempts.
    The mail client is Apple mail.
    In addition, the test messages I sent did actually get bounced back, it just tool several hours.
    The additional test that I ran was turning off the mail services from the server preferences. This resulted in the client not being able to find the server at all.
    So, it's not completely messed up, but appears to be misconfigured.
    cheers,
    jr

  • No windows identity for Domain Name\User

    I have recently upgraded SharePoint 2013 farm from RTM to SP1. I am repeatedly getting errors  No windows
    identity for Domain Name\User in ULS log. Some users who was earlier able to access to site is not able to access site. 
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers or vote as helpful if they help.

    Few questions to quickly check with you..
    1. Have you re-run your SharePoint Configuration Wizard after you upgraded from RTM to SP1? Its very important to re-run SharePoint Configuration Wizard to ensure SharePoint Config DB is updated with latest changes in the farm.
    2. If you have performed the above step but still face issues, have you restarted your SharePoint Server after re-running your SharePoint Configuration Wizard? If not please restart the server.
    3. If not anyone of the above, then have you changed your authentication type for your web application in Central Admin. Example, from Classic Authentication to Claim Based Authentication?

  • Another Mailman and virtual domains problem... mailbox does not exist

    Hi,
    this is yet another thread about virtual domain mailinglist with mailman.
    To sum up:
    - OpenDirectory account "[email protected]" -> mail delivered
    - Deleting this account and creating a mailing-list "test11", opening the admin interface to change the host "server.domain.com" (which is the primary host of the machine, so each mailinglist is created with this host) and replacing it with "virtualdomain.com"
    - sending an email to "[email protected]" -> following error:
    Jan 18 14:12:23 server postfix/qmgr[74872]: 698E5BF735: from=<[email protected]>, size=691, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
    Jan 18 14:12:23 server postfix/pipe[74882]: 698E5BF735: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=cyrus, delay=0.28, delays=0.14/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=5.6.0, status=bounced (data format error. Command output: test11: Mailbox does not exist )
    - adding back the OD account "[email protected]" -> mail delivered to inbox (not to mailing-list recipients)
    - now if i delete the mailinglist in Server Admin then send an email to "[email protected]" -> following error (seems obvious):
    Jan 18 13:18:49 server postfix/lmtp[74275]: A9B7CBF45F: to=<[email protected]>, relay=server.domain.com[/var/imap/socket/lmtp], delay=0.16, delays=0.13/0/0/0.03, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host server.domain.com[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command))
    IOW, it looks like somehow the mailinglist aliases are being lost somewhere.
    Postfix forgets to delivers the incomming mails to Mailman, doesn't it? According to lots of forum searchs it could be forced by using one of those two commands:
    sudo /usr/sbin/postalias
    sudo /usr/sbin/postmap
    Unfortunately I dont know how they work precisely and can't find X.5 accurate information so I hope you can guide me through this step.
    Also I don't know how to track the incomming mails at the moment they are dispatched to either an OD account (so it's delivered or generates the 550 error) or a Mailman list (so it's looking for aliases and so on).
    Any help will be appreciated.

    I've finaly solved the problem by myself, mixing postfix-style aliases.

  • 10.4.3 Local Host Aliases vs. Locally Hosted Virtual Domains

    We had been running 10.4.1 for about eight months with no problems.
    1) Under the Local Host Aliases setting in Server Admin (Mail, Settings, Advanced. Hosting) we had only "localhost" listed. All the other virtual domains we hosted email for were listed under Locally Hosted Virtual Domains.
    2) We added all mail users via WGM and only listed one shortname without the "@domainname.com" suffix. I.E. "user1".
    3) All mail account aliases are handled by editing the /etc/postfix/virtualaliasmaps.
    A few weeks ago, we upgraded to 10.4.3. All mail was being rejected with an unknown user message. Checking forums around the net, we saw a post which suggested that all domains previously listed only under Locally Hosted Virtual Domains should also be added under Local Host Aliases for 10.4.3 via Server Admin.
    We did this and all mail began working OK as before the upgrade. However we are getting log entry warnings everytime an email is processed:
    postfix/trivial-rewrite[3921]: warning: do not list domain oneofourdomains.com in BOTH mydestination and virtualmailboxdomains
    I'd like to straighten this out so everybody is happy and no more log warnings occur.
    However, we don't want to:
    1) remove the virtual domains from the Locally Hosted Virtual Domains entries and have them only under Local Host Aliases since there are mail aliases with the same name under different domains, and
    2) we don't want to have to go into WGM and add a domain suffix to each shortname
    Does anyone know what changed between 10.4.1 and 10.4.3 and why? More importantly, how do we best go about correcting this situation. Or is this an Apple bug that will be fixed in the future and we can live with the log warnings until then?
    We've searched all the posts in different forums and haven't seen anything that addresses this problem directly.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Virtual Domains and Aliases - the sequel

    Ok pterobyte
    I have successfully set up virtual domains and aliases on several systems including Mac OS 10.4 - now i'm trying to set up a brand new xserve to host a local domain and several virtual domains...
    I have followed pterobytes method of creating virtual domains and aliases etc. However, whether I use /etc/postfix/aliases (for local users) or /etc/postfix/virtual for virtual users - I cannot get the mail to go to two addresses at the same time.
    The mail.log only records the mail being sent to local mail box.
    Here's an example:
    local user example (remote.com is a remote domain where mail should be forwarded to as well as sent to local mail box.)
    #aliases
    local_guy [email protected], [email protected]
    virtual user example
    #virtual
    [email protected] virtual_guy, [email protected]
    "virtual.com" is set up as a virtual domain in SA Mail and mail.virtual.com is that users mail server in WGM.
    BTW in pterobyte's latest pdf manual shortname 3 says "shortname3-x: aliases for e-mail address under shortname2" what does that mean?
    As I said mail delievers correctly locally but does NOT go to the remote address. Does anyone have a clue what else I can look at?
    anyone?

  • Aliases and not mailboxes for virtual domain

    I know that virtual domains are broken in 10.5.1 and I'm not sure I want to upgrade to 10.5.2 yet until I know everyone else who has done it is working fine.
    My question is our OSX Mail Server primary domain is xpmedia.com. We have an old mail server we are wanting to transition off of slowly. Right now the primary domain on that old server is extremeprophetic.com. We are wanting to take every single e-mail address on the old server and make them all xpmedia.com addresses which I'm in the process of creating right now. At some point we want to direct the MX record for Extreme Prophetic to our new mail server and do away with those addresses.
    I don't want to create mailboxes for those addresses as they are going away. So my question is this. Let's say my old account is [email protected] and my new account on the new server is [email protected] If when I create that new xpmedia.com address, can I just make an alias in WGM for [email protected] and it will all come to my xpmedia.com account? Or do I have to do it the way of all my other virtual domains with the editing of the virtual file in postfix and forward those accounts on to xpmedia.com addresses?

    I think I found out how to do this by reading another entry. I just need to make the other domain not a virtual domain but a local host alias. I think I'm good to go.
