Aliases in Mail

Hi,
I create lots of folders in Mail for the storing and organizing of messages. Sometimes I need to file the same message in several folders for cross-referencing purposes. Instead of filing the actual message in several different folders, is it possible to make an alias of the message, and file the alias in several folders? I do this with documents in my Finder folders. Can it be done within Mail?
Thanks!

no, there is no notion of an alias in Mail. but you can use smart mailboxes. a smart mailbox is a saved search based on the criteria of your choice. as such it does not move any messages anywhere and they remain in their original locations.

  • Where do i find my aliases in mail?

    where do i find my aliases in mail?

    But to find Preferences on this blue icloud webpage...You go down to BOTTOM left
    Settings gear.. and the old General, Accounts, etc menu is across the top.
    Then all  your Aliases show up. Color Tag circle show up too but aren’t active, but hey that is
    another question I guess.

  • .Mac Aliases in Mail Preferences?

    On my Powerbook, it is not showing my .Mac aliases, and there is no button in the Mail preferences that allows me to show .Mac aliases. I'm baffled as to why this is. On my work Mac (an 2005 iMac (don't have specifics here at home)), there is a button in the preferences that allowed me to include the aliases in the Account pulldown menu when composing a message. I synch between the two computers using .mac as well, but my home computer is my primary computer.
    Any ideas as to why this is working on one computer and not the other? Is my version of "Mail" just old? If so, how can I download a newer version?

    I just found that on my home Powerbook, the .mac account is set to be a POP instead of a .Mac. I disabled the account and created a new one with the same settings except making it the correct kind of account, and the aliases now work.

  • Delete aliases in Mail

    The list of aliases that is shown from the drop-down list when sending a mail in Mail is not equal to my current set of aliases set via .Mac. Instead, it is a historical list of all the aliases I've ever had. I wonder if there's a way to update Mail so its set of aliases corresponds to the one that are currently in use?

    Nope, didn't work.  The problem is that I created a new catagory that I put a template in and now when I go to that catagory and try and delete the template it won't do it.  Its unlike the standard catagories that came with ML.  Its one I created.  I also cannot delete the catagory I created either.

  • Using .Mac aliases in Mail?

    I registered two aliases, one for registrations and one for mailing lists I'm on so that it's easy to sort the stuff out. It's working pretty well so far, but unfortunately I can't put mail on the list from Mail because of the fact that it automatically sends from the main address and not the alias, and hence it gets bounced for not being on the list. I know I can specify which I want to send from when I'm logged in to .Mac on the Apple website, but that kind of defeats the purpose of using Mail in the first place at that point. Is there a way around this without registering my main account with the list?

    Paul,
    if you have set up your .Mac account as IMAP or POP (instead of .Mac), you can manually add the aliases to that account - simply add the additional email adresses to the address field in the account preferences, separating the individual addresses by commas. You should then get an account popup for outgoing messages which allows you to specify the sending account.

  • How do I configure Google Apps aliases in Mail client?

    Hi
    I´m using Google Apps for business and have 5 companies with about 15 different email adresses. 1 email adress is the primary and the others are aliases.
    I want to use Apples Mail client and I´m trying to configure the different accounts.
    Primary:
    Name: Company
    Mail: [email protected]
    Alias1:
    Name: Company1
    Mail: [email protected]
    Alias2:
    Name: Company2
    Mail: [email protected]
    ...and so on
    I have created several outgoing servers that I use from the primary account.
    When I recive an email to Alias 1 and send a replay it says that it comes from the Primary (Comapny). If I recive an email to Alias1 (Company1) I want to replay with that Name (Company1) and with a specific signature that are linked to that company.
    I´m not sure that I have explained it correctly but is there anyone out there with a similar problem and a solution to it?
    THANKS
    Regards
    Fabian Zetterberg

    Check that you configured the SMTP server for each address correctly, it should match the user ID and password of the Imap server in use, and it should be marked as the server to use for the account.

  • Domain aliases and mail delivery

    Hi,
    My current Messaging Server test installation version is:
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.0-3.01 64bit (built Dec 9 2008)
    libimta.so 7.0-3.01 64bit (built 09:24:13, Dec 9 2008)
    Using /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/config/imta.cnf
    SunOS mmp-nhm1.its.utas.edu.au 5.10 Generic_138889-06 i86pc i386 i86pc
    Our current domain setting is "utas.edu.au". Most email is sent to our users as "[email protected]". I have configured a domain alias name as "postoffice.utas.edu.au", but I cannot seem to get mail delivered locally unless I also set a user mail alias of "[email protected]" as well as the domain alias.
    I have obviously missed some very simple step here, but cannot find anything in this forum, nor in the documentation to resolve my problem.
    Dave.
    P.S. Under sendmail, I would have add a "w" class entry, or added an entry to a "cw" file.
    dn.

    brett_ac wrote:
    So, if I understand you correctly, I MUST setup a user alias "[email protected]" for every user, regardless of the domain alias setting?
    Correct. The domain alias setting simply tells Messaging Server where to perform the LDAP search for user LDAP entries that have a mail:/mailalternateaddress:/mailequivalentaddress: attribute that matches <something>@postmaster.utas.edu.au.
    And secondly, why can I not mail to "[email protected]" (the default domain name) without having an alias set at the user level "[email protected]"?
    Same reason as previous. There is no one-to-one relationship between a users "uid" LDAP attribute and the email address(es) that will be delivered to this account. Such an enforced relationship, whilst convenient in some ways is extremely limited in others. I see this same question come up from time to time with customer trying to translate default sendmail style behaviour across to Sun Messaging Server behaviour.
    I recommend you have a read of the following Messaging Server Admin Guide chapter:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4428/bgahg?a=view

    Shane.

  • Aliases unavailble in mail

    It seems I am unable to send mail from any of my aliases in mail which I brought with me from my Mobile Me account. I used to be able to decide which alias I would send email from, but now I suddenly can´t change the sender email adress, can not even sign into my account to check my aliases either. Anyone knowing if this is a common problem?

    it seems it works only on iCloud.com but not when using the Mail program on my MacPro. It just can´t be right that this happens, and it can´t be so hard to fix?

  • [Mail.app] Manage different "from field" when using aliases

    I know how to manage aliases in mail.app
    My question is: is there a way to tell to mail.app to use for each alias a different "from field"? or the from field will always be the one of my principal account?
    This is an option that Thunderbird and Postbox offer.

    In Mail >Preferences>Accounts>Account information
    Add as many alias as you want to the Email Address field separated by comma. 
    This is the most user friendly method for creating different "personalities."
    When you create a New Mail it will present you with a From: field in which to choose your alias (personality,)  much like multiple signatures.

  • Postfix, mail loop back to myself

    Hello. I have tried to set up postfix and dovecot. However, I cant seem to figure out what is causing this error messages when trying to send emails to other local users.
    My servers hostname is aurora.tholden.no
    MX host is aurora.tholden.no
    I have two domains. Tholden.no and srckurs.no
    srckurs.no have two email accounts. Both working fine, and I can send and recve mail between them, and the outside.
    However, for the tholden.no domain, reciving of emails does not work. I can send them though.
    What can be the problem?

    # Global Postfix configuration file. This file lists only a subset
    # of all parameters. For the syntax, and for a complete parameter
    # list, see the postconf(5) manual page (command: "man 5 postconf").
    # For common configuration examples, see BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README
    # and STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README. To find these documents, use
    # the command "postconf html_directory readme_directory", or go to
    # [url]http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html[/url] etc.
    # For best results, change no more than 2-3 parameters at a time,
    # and test if Postfix still works after every change.
    # COMPATIBILITY
    # The compatibility_level determines what default settings Postfix
    # will use for main.cf and master.cf settings. These defaults will
    # change over time.
    # To avoid breaking things, Postfix will use backwards-compatible
    # default settings and log where it uses those old backwards-compatible
    # default settings, until the system administrator has determined
    # if any backwards-compatible default settings need to be made
    # permanent in main.cf or master.cf.
    # When this review is complete, update the compatibility_level setting
    # below as recommended in the RELEASE_NOTES file.

    # to $mydestination, $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.
    # If this parameter is defined, then the SMTP server will reject
    # mail for unknown local users. This parameter is defined by default.
    # To turn off local recipient checking in the SMTP server, specify
    # local_recipient_maps = (i.e. empty).
    # The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local
    # delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
    # local_recipient_maps setting if:
    # - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than
    # /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files.
    # For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in
    # the $virtual_mailbox_maps files.

    # feature of the Postfix local delivery agent (see local(8)).
    # Details are described in the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file.
    # Beware: if the Postfix SMTP server runs chrooted, you probably have
    # to access the passwd file via the proxymap service, in order to
    # overcome chroot restrictions. The alternative, having a copy of
    # the system passwd file in the chroot jail is just not practical.

    # through Postfix. See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions parameter
    # in postconf(5).

    # clients in the same IP subnetworks as the local machine.
    # On Linux, this does works correctly only with interfaces specified
    # with the "ifconfig" command.
    # Specify "mynetworks_style = class" when Postfix should "trust" SMTP
    # clients in the same IP class A/B/C networks as the local machine.
    # Don't do this with a dialup site - it would cause Postfix to "trust"
    # your entire provider's network. Instead, specify an explicit
    # mynetworks list by hand, as described below.
    # Specify "mynetworks_style = host" when Postfix should "trust"
    # only the local machine.
    #mynetworks_style = class
    #mynetworks_style = subnet
    #mynetworks_style = host
    # Alternatively, you can specify the mynetworks list by hand, in
    # which case Postfix ignores the mynetworks_style setting.
    # Specify an explicit list of network/netmask patterns, where the
    # mask specifies the number of bits in the network part of a host
    # address.
    # You can also specify the absolute pathname of a pattern file instead

    # The relay_domains parameter restricts what destinations this system will
    # relay mail to. See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions description in
    # postconf(5) for detailed information.
    # By default, Postfix relays mail
    # - from "trusted" clients (IP address matches $mynetworks) to any destination,
    # - from "untrusted" clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or
    # subdomains thereof, except addresses with sender-specified routing.
    # The default relay_domains value is $mydestination.
    # In addition to the above, the Postfix SMTP server by default accepts mail
    # that Postfix is final destination for:
    # - destinations that match $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces,
    # - destinations that match $mydestination
    # - destinations that match $virtual_alias_domains,
    # - destinations that match $virtual_mailbox_domains.
    # These destinations do not need to be listed in $relay_domains.
    # Specify a list of hosts or domains, /file/name patterns or type:name
    # lookup tables, separated by commas and/or whitespace. Continue
    # long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. A file name
    # is replaced by its contents; a type:name table is matched when a
    # (parent) domain appears as lookup key.
    # NOTE: Postfix will not automatically forward mail for domains that
    # list this system as their primary or backup MX host. See the
    # permit_mx_backup restriction description in postconf(5).

    # The relayhost parameter specifies the default host to send mail to
    # when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When
    # no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination.
    # On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your
    # internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet
    # gateway host instead.
    # In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port,
    # [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups.

    # mail for unknown relay users. This feature is off by default.

    # to an SCO bug).
    # A Postfix process will pause for $in_flow_delay seconds before
    # accepting a new message, when the message arrival rate exceeds the
    # message delivery rate. With the default 100 SMTP server process

    # database, then the NIS alias database. See aliases(5) for syntax
    # details.
    # If you change the alias database, run "postalias /etc/aliases" (or
    # wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply run

    # EXTENSION (address extension), DOMAIN (domain part of address),
    # and LOCAL (the address localpart).
    # Unlike other Postfix configuration parameters, the mailbox_command
    # parameter is not subjected to $parameter substitutions. This is to
    # make it easier to specify shell syntax (see example below).
    # Avoid shell meta characters because they will force Postfix to run
    # an expensive shell process. Procmail alone is expensive enough.

  • [Solved] postfix local mail delivery fails

    Hi Guys,
    on my home pc i use postfix (gmail as a smtp relay) and fetchmail for sending/receiving mails, this works very well, however sending a mail to a local user fails, I'm lost here and need your help guys.
    if i send a mail like :
    $>echo "Test" | mail -s "Test : local mail delivery" "andy"
    The mail stays in the queue for ever...
    $>mailq
    -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

    I have solved it, and this was the problem (main.cf) message_size_limit = 0 i have set this to unlimited "0" so bigger mails not get rejected by postfix, the defualt value was 10240000 (~10 Mb) after finally checking the postfix log with journalctl -u postfix (because /var/log/mail.log) is not used anymore i found this line : "fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit" after setting mailbox_size_limit to unlimited "0" postfix starts to delivery local mail.

  • [SOLVED]Issue with Postfix sending to external mail addresses

    I'm having a very silly issue with Postfix. I followed the wiki article at [link]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Postfix[/link], and everything seems to work properly, however I cannot send to emails outside of my domain.
    I get the error:
    550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Local delivery only!
    Here is what the logs say:
    May 08 16:05:12 my.dns.stuff.org postfix/smtpd[31464]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]

    # To turn off local recipient checking in the SMTP server, specify
    # local_recipient_maps = (i.e. empty).
    # The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local
    # delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
    # local_recipient_maps setting if:
    # - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than
    # /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files.
    # For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in

    Your main.cf seems redundant.
    For example:
    if you specify:
    virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_forwards.cf
    you don't need this:
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
    and i think you have a lot of more options you don't need.
    This is my main.cf on my vps and everything works great (sending and receiving emails from/to most common mail server: gmail, hotmail etc etc)

    it is very simple (no dkim, no forced tls, no mailbox limits and so on) and it can be improved but it works..
    as I suggested you just try spending some hour wiping postfix installation and giving a look to this guide

  • Lion Server postfix mail not being delivered to mailboxes. "SMTP restriction `reject_invalid_helo_hostname' after `permit' is ignored" and "connect to private/policy: Connection refused" errors.

    All, Im stumped. In fact I have been on the phone with Apple Support and this has been escalated to the top engineers, as I think its got them too..
    Anyway, here is my problem..
    I'm running an Mac Mini with OS X 10.7.4 Server. I have had mail running on it for 2 months or so, without any issues. The mail was actually migrated from 10.6 in March, and It actually went smoothly. I have 3 domains which all recieve mail and they all work (or did up until 2 weeks ago)..
    So the story is this.. I can send mail from my domains, without issue.  imap and dovecot must be working.. cause all the stored mail, can be read with the mail IMAP client.. I can even transfer mail messages from one mailbox to another with Mail client. Sending mail is a breeze, it still works and the recipients still recieve their mail. But I noticed I wasnt getting any mail at all from those mailboxes... no mail, no spam, nothing.. which is unusal. I fired up Server admin and checked out the SMTP log, and this is what it showed for every email recieved: (xxxxxx is just me hiding sensitive info)

    Ok, now what is odd, is these rejected messages are not even appearing in the mail queue in Server Admin. I have no idea why there are not being delivered
    Ive checked my postfix main.cf file and master.cf files they both look ok.. Ive even replaced them with the main.cf.defualt.10.7 and master.cf.default.10.7 files and to no avail... same problem..
    So in summary
    I can send mail out
    IMAP is working on the client end (thus dovecot is) exsisting stored emails can be accessed, read, moved unread etc..
    mail is coming into the sever, but its being rejected. there is NO rejection email sent back to the sender.
    mail is recieved by postfix, but cyrus isnt doing anything with it.. I have no idea where it goes...
    Could anyone shed light on this...

    # mail for unknown local users. This parameter is defined by default.
    # To turn off local recipient checking in the SMTP server, specify
    # local_recipient_maps = (i.e. empty).
    # The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local
    # delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
    # local_recipient_maps setting if:
    # - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than
    #   /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files.
    #   For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in   
    #   the $virtual_mailbox_maps files.
    # - You redefine the local delivery agent in master.cf.
    # - You redefine the "local_transport" setting in main.cf.
    # - You use the "luser_relay", "mailbox_transport", or "fallback_transport"
    #   feature of the Postfix local delivery agent (see local(8)).
    # Details are described in the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file.
    # Beware: if the Postfix SMTP server runs chrooted, you probably have
    # to access the passwd file via the proxymap service, in order to
    # overcome chroot restrictions. The alternative, having a copy of
    # the system passwd file in the chroot jail is just not practical.
    # The right-hand side of the lookup tables is conveniently ignored.
    # In the left-hand side, specify a bare username, an @domain.tld
    # wild-card, or specify a [email protected] address.
    #local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
    #local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
    #local_recipient_maps =
    # The unknown_local_recipient_reject_code specifies the SMTP server
    # response code when a recipient domain matches $mydestination or
    # ${proxy,inet}_interfaces, while $local_recipient_maps is non-empty
    # and the recipient address or address local-part is not found.
    # The default setting is 550 (reject mail) but it is safer to start
    # with 450 (try again later) until you are certain that your

    # TRUST AND RELAY CONTROL
    # The mynetworks parameter specifies the list of "trusted" SMTP
    # clients that have more privileges than "strangers".
    # In particular, "trusted" SMTP clients are allowed to relay mail
    # through Postfix.  See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions parameter
    # in postconf(5).
    # You can specify the list of "trusted" network addresses by hand
    # or you can let Postfix do it for you (which is the default).
    # By default (mynetworks_style = subnet), Postfix "trusts" SMTP
    # clients in the same IP subnetworks as the local machine.
    # On Linux, this does works correctly only with interfaces specified
    # with the "ifconfig" command.
    # Specify "mynetworks_style = class" when Postfix should "trust" SMTP
    # clients in the same IP class A/B/C networks as the local machine.
    # Don't do this with a dialup site - it would cause Postfix to "trust"
    # your entire provider's network.  Instead, specify an explicit
    # mynetworks list by hand, as described below.
    # Specify "mynetworks_style = host" when Postfix should "trust"
    # only the local machine.
    #mynetworks_style = class
    #mynetworks_style = subnet
    #mynetworks_style = host
    # Alternatively, you can specify the mynetworks list by hand, in
    # which case Postfix ignores the mynetworks_style setting.
    # Specify an explicit list of network/netmask patterns, where the
    # mask specifies the number of bits in the network part of a host
    # address.
    # You can also specify the absolute pathname of a pattern file instead
    # of listing the patterns here. Specify type:table for table-based lookups
    # (the value on the table right-hand side is not used).
    #mynetworks = 168.100.189.0/28, 127.0.0.0/8
    #mynetworks = $config_directory/mynetworks
    #mynetworks = hash:/etc/postfix/network_table
    # The relay_domains parameter restricts what destinations this system will
    # relay mail to.  See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions description in
    # postconf(5) for detailed information.
    # By default, Postfix relays mail
    # - from "trusted" clients (IP address matches $mynetworks) to any destination,
    # - from "untrusted" clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or
    #   subdomains thereof, except addresses with sender-specified routing.
    # The default relay_domains value is $mydestination.
    # In addition to the above, the Postfix SMTP server by default accepts mail
    # that Postfix is final destination for:
    # - destinations that match $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces,
    # - destinations that match $mydestination
    # - destinations that match $virtual_alias_domains,
    # - destinations that match $virtual_mailbox_domains.
    # These destinations do not need to be listed in $relay_domains.
    # Specify a list of hosts or domains, /file/name patterns or type:name
    # lookup tables, separated by commas and/or whitespace.  Continue
    # long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. A file name
    # is replaced by its contents; a type:name table is matched when a
    # (parent) domain appears as lookup key.
    # NOTE: Postfix will not automatically forward mail for domains that
    # list this system as their primary or backup MX host. See the
    # permit_mx_backup restriction description in postconf(5).
    #relay_domains = $mydestination
    # INTERNET OR INTRANET
    # The relayhost parameter specifies the default host to send mail to
    # when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When
    # no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination.
    # On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your
    # internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet
    # gateway host instead.
    # In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port,
    # [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups.
    # If you're connected via UUCP, see also the default_transport parameter.

    # REJECTING UNKNOWN RELAY USERS
    # The relay_recipient_maps parameter specifies optional lookup tables
    # with all addresses in the domains that match $relay_domains.
    # If this parameter is defined, then the SMTP server will reject
    # mail for unknown relay users. This feature is off by default.
    # The right-hand side of the lookup tables is conveniently ignored.
    # In the left-hand side, specify an @domain.tld wild-card, or specify
    # a [email protected] address.
    #relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
    # INPUT RATE CONTROL
    # The in_flow_delay configuration parameter implements mail input
    # flow control. This feature is turned on by default, although it
    # still needs further development (it's disabled on SCO UNIX due
    # to an SCO bug).
    # A Postfix process will pause for $in_flow_delay seconds before
    # accepting a new message, when the message arrival rate exceeds the
    # message delivery rate. With the default 100 SMTP server process
    # limit, this limits the mail inflow to 100 messages a second more
    # than the number of messages delivered per second.
    # Specify 0 to disable the feature. Valid delays are 0..10.
    #in_flow_delay = 1s
    # ADDRESS REWRITING
    # The ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document gives information about
    # address masquerading or other forms of address rewriting including
    # username->Firstname.Lastname mapping.
    # ADDRESS REDIRECTION (VIRTUAL DOMAIN)
    # The VIRTUAL_README document gives information about the many forms
    # of domain hosting that Postfix supports.

    # See the discussion in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document.
    # TRANSPORT MAP
    # See the discussion in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document.
    # ALIAS DATABASE
    # The alias_maps parameter specifies the list of alias databases used
    # by the local delivery agent. The default list is system dependent.
    # On systems with NIS, the default is to search the local alias
    # database, then the NIS alias database. See aliases(5) for syntax
    # details.
    # If you change the alias database, run "postalias /etc/aliases" (or
    # wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply run
    # "newaliases" to build the necessary DBM or DB file.
    # It will take a minute or so before changes become visible.  Use
    # "postfix reload" to eliminate the delay.
    #alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases
    #alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    #alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases
    #alias_maps = netinfo:/aliases
    # The alias_database parameter specifies the alias database(s) that
    # are built with "newaliases" or "sendmail -bi".  This is a separate
    # configuration parameter, because alias_maps (see above) may specify
    # tables that are not necessarily all under control by Postfix.
    #alias_database = dbm:/etc/aliases
    #alias_database = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases
    #alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    #alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/opt/majordomo/aliases
    # ADDRESS EXTENSIONS (e.g., user+foo)
    # The recipient_delimiter parameter specifies the separator between
    # user names and address extensions (user+foo). See canonical(5),
    # local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • New user of Mail

    After many many years of using Eudora I have moved to using Apple Mail. The main drivers for this were better handling of html content messages, long attachment names, integration with address book and a more standard mail format.
    Overall I think this has been a good move but have noted one or two deficiencies and features in Apple Mail that I just plain miss.
    Apple should be upfront about “import mail” and Eudora. I am very very glad I read about Eudora Cleaner before losing very valuable information about replies, unread mail, dates etc etc
    When in "message viewer" with a list of a mailbox contents, it would be really useful if typing a first letter took you to the first mail in that mailbox whose sender name starts with this letter. The finder does it (selects the first file in the current folder starting with that character) - why is Mail different?
    The window menu displays the open mail windows by subject name only – it would be much better if included the sender’s name. I tend to look for open mail windows for the sender in preference to the mail subject.
    The spell checker guesser is weak. MS Word spell guesser is way more powerful. E.g., complains about “don’t” but does not offer “don’t” as an option. It does not appear to offer learned-spelling words as options either.
    When dragging/transferring mail to a nested mailbox, the destination mailbox must pre-exist. I like the Eudora feature of being able to create a sub-folder and/or mailbox as part of a drag/drop.
    Can you open Mail so that it overrides the automatic checking (and download) new mail. Eudora had a shift-open sequence that did that. very useful sometimes?
    Smart mailboxes are good and useful. However, I found it odd that deleting a message from a smart mailbox in fact moves it to trash not just out of the smart mailbox. I had a picture that smart mailboxes contain aliases to mail, in much the same way as albums in iPhoto, so that removing them from the smart mailbox doe sonly that and does not move them to trash.
    Fonts and font handing is clumsy. Something to handle fonts/bold etc on the toolbar would be great.
    It is not very clear when someone has sent me a Bcc mail. Such mail is often the most sensitive and care must be taken if replying (especially to all). I realise that a Bcc mail has ben sent if my name is not in the header. But that means me looking for an omission rather than looking for an inclusion in a Bcc header.
    Why am I stuck with having my mail folder icons on the LHS in alphabetical order. I’d prefer the flexibility to arrange in an order that I want.
    Are any of these idea being considered for later versions?
    Cheers
    Dave

    Hi David, it is very nice of you to share, comment and provide feedback about Apple's Mail here with us, but this a mainly a Discussion forum to provide any form of help needed, and I really doubt anyone "important" to affect the next Mail's upgrade and improvement would take it from here, you should post your feedback etc at Mail's Feedback (page) to Apple.
    Nevertheless, I would agree with you on some points on Mail, which of course needs a lot of work to make it better, but probably not perfect, I don't believe there will be any 1 perfect sole email program out there, at least not now.
    Here I would like to clarify, and answer some of your points that you probably didn't know or notice and is like a "hidden" feature that is there all along:
    I am presuming you are using a Mighty Mouse, or at least, some of these features require you to Right-click (to bring out a short contextual menu) or Command+Click (or is it Ctrl or Opt key...), anyway...
    1. The window menu displays the open mail windows by subject name only – it would be much better if included the sender’s name....
    I don't really get this one, every mail you click displays on the right "bottom" shows the Subject first, but definitely the 'Sender' also. And you can customise the Column View to whatever preference you like.
    And by the way, do you know you can customise the Top Tool Bar in any way and form you like, just the way you customise any Finder Window?
    Go under View > Customise Toolbar, and you can do anything you like to personalise the way you use Mail
    2. The spell checker guesser is weak. MS Word spell guesser is way more powerful. E.g., complains about “don’t” but does not offer “don’t” as an option. It does not appear to offer learned-spelling words as options either.
    Rick-click your Mighty Mouse or with a normal mouse, Control (key) + Click, and a short contextual menu pops up, there is a Learn Spelling option to learn this new word.
    3. Fonts and font handing is clumsy. Something to handle fonts/bold etc on the toolbar would be great.
    Right-click your Mighty Mouse again to choose Font options, select "bold" etc, faster way, before you type the next work you want it to be "bold" or "italic", use Command key + b (for bold) or + i (for italic), this I think actually applies universally across board like Microsoft's Entourage and even Word. Or you can highlight the word then hit Command + b; Repeat the combination keys again to return your type font to normal.
    4. It is not very clear when someone has sent me a Bcc mail. Such mail is often the most sensitive and care must be taken if replying (especially to all). I realise that a Bcc mail has ben sent if my name is not in the header. But that means me looking for an omission rather than looking for an inclusion in a Bcc header.
    This one I am also a bit confused; When someone send an email and Bcc to you, and any other party, you can only see the names of those appear in the 'To' and 'Cc' fields, not in any 'Bcc' field, i.e. this mail does not has your name on it, if you can see a 'Bcc' field, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a Bcc, that you would be able to see other people's names on the Bcc field as well??
    I point this out is because I use Entourage in the office, and it more or less behaves or "act" the same way as Mail, both have their strengths and weaknesses...
    Cheers
