Already created domain names able to use Mail?

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble figuring out whether it is possible to use a domain hosted by a different company, with Mail on OS X Sever (Leopard).
I currently have a domain name with 1and1 which deals with both web hosting and also email. However, I've not been able to cofigure the name to use the server mail settings.
I have a DNS on my server of server.bronowskiproductions.com and a domain of bronowski-productions.com. Is there a way that I can reconcile these two so my bronowski-productions.com domain can be pointed to the server DNS?
I'm fairly new to mail servers, so any thoughts would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks!
Oli

Your server can host hundreds and thousands of domains (although you probably wouldn't do it, because you as a human would have a hard time keeping track of everything). So, the domain bronowski-productions.com can be hosted on "server.bronowskiproductions.com".
It's like "server.bronowskiproductions.com" is the post office (MX server) and "bronowski-productions.com" is a wing in the building where there are post office boxs for Adam, Bobby, Charlie, etc. You can add as many wings (mail domains) as you like to the building (host).
You just need to tell the DNS server at 1&1, that "bronowski-productions.com" is a hosted at "server.bronowskiproductions.com" (after you register for bronowskiproductions.com).

Is there a way to get a domain name if im using iweb?

ok, i have beeen working really hard on this website i made on iweb, but i do not want it to have the "www.apple......." how can i buy my domain name to make it whatever name i want it to be ... " .com"
is there a way to transfer an iweb site to a domain name?

A website at dotMac is:
http://web.mac.com/YourdotMacID/
Using a domain of your own is [regularly discussed|http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c188&search=Go&q=domai n+webhost] in this forum.
How you publish to such domain is explained in the iWeb Help:
+*Using your own domain name*+
+If you purchased your own domain name (for example, www.example.com) from a service provider, you can use that URL for websites you create with iWeb.+
+These instructions are for sites published to .Mac. If you aren’t publishing to .Mac, see:+
+Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac ►+
+To use your own domain name for a site published to .Mac:+
+Choose File > Set Up Personal Domain.+
+If you are connected to the Internet, the .Mac website opens in your web browser.+
+On the .Mac website, follow the onscreen instructions.+
+It may take a few hours or a few days for forwarding to take effect. If you open iWeb after forwarding has taken effect, your personal domain appears at the bottom of the iWeb window. After you publish your site, you can announce the new URL to your visitors with an announcement email.+
+If iWeb is open when forwarding takes effect, you won’t see your personal domain at the bottom of the iWeb window until after you publish your site.+
+Hit counters don’t reset; they count visitors to your site whether they use your personal domain URL or the .Mac URL.+
OR
+*Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac*+
+Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a folder on a local destination (your hard disk, for example) and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice.+
+To publish your site somewhere other than .Mac:+
+Choose File > “Publish to a Folder.”+
+If you have Subscribe buttons on your site, you must specify your site’s URL in the message that appears.+
+Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.+
+Use a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice.+
+iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.+
+If you don’t publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:+

Domain name from the configuerd mail server

HI,
How to get the domain name from the mail server that i configure using java Mail..
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", mailServer);
mailServer has my mailServer name like email.something.com
in my application, from address is the one user sets.. if they forgot to set it and tries to send a mail then i need to send that mail with a default address like [email protected] where something.com must be the domain name.. so i juz want to know how to get the domain name.?
hope it is clear. can any of u help me out?

There's no well-defined way to do this. The
simplest approach is to offer this as a configuration
option.
A more complicated approach would be to use
the host name of the mail server and look up
that name in DNS and try to find the DNS record
that tells which mail server to use for that host
name, perhaps stripping off elements of the name
until you find something. (And no, I can't explain
to you exactly how to do that.)

Not Able to use Mail.app

Hello to everyone. After been browsing this site and google for about 2 days I have decided to post this message and see if someone can help me fix the problem I am having. My mail.app has been not working for me ever since I got my new mac and migrated all my information from my previous mac and applied all the new updates to it. When I open the mail.app the main window does not come up unless I go to view and click the view reader window option. I also can't add a new email account from the preference panel. I click on the "+" sign and nothing happens and on at the bottom of that screen it reads <do not localize>.
I have already deleted all the apple.mail.plist files as well as the ones on the preference folder and the cache and mail folder and try to re-install the mail app from the Leopard DVD and did no solve the problem. I also tried fixing permissions and nothing (haven't try fix disk from the boot of the Leopard DVD but will try tomorrow after I get off work). Any other recommendations?
Also please noticed that I also did create a test user and open the mail from inside that account and mail works perfectly, so I don't know if maybe something is screwed up inside my user folder or what. Please reply back if you have any other ideas or if you know of a solution to this problem. I have also notice that my mac crash every time I try to use yahoo messenger too, maybe that could be related to the mail.app problem that I am having.

What does "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml" mean?

Why is Muse now asking, on either uploading files via Muse or externally through another ftp, for a domain name that is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml?
I used Muse for exporting my files to ftp externally a few months back and I could add whatever I liked into the domain name field (which made sense as I could choose an appropriate name). I upgraded Muse this morning and now no domain name I add in here is accepted and on hovering over the info icon I get a "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml. What does that mean exactly?
If anyone can help?

Hi Guys
Great thread Omniscient! Like Bian, my username is just my name. It's a unisex name and caused a nice little debate in the early days of this forum as to whether I was male or female!
Kerry is from the Irish meaning 'dark-haired' but I am a blondie (natural blonde when younger, bottle blonde now I am older!) I think my mum just liked the name...
There are lots of interesting usernames out there - tell us about them and where they come from!

Can I use a domain name from client

My client owns severable domain names, can I use one of them in BC? If so, how do I do it?
Thanks

Yes, you most certainly can.
In the site admin under site settings once you go live there is a tool for site domains. Just follow the prompts.
Then you will have to go into where the domain name is registered and change the DNS settings to be pointed to Business Catalyst.

Mail Setup - Domain Name vs. Host Name

I tried to search for this one, but the terms are so common that it made things a little difficult. Anyways, it's a simple question (I think):
My mail service is working fine, however I just noticed that in server admin (under Mail), the domain name is set as mail.mydomain.com and the host name is set to mydomain.com. That's counter to my understanding of what should be in those fields (it should be the reverse, if my understanding of the relevant terms is correct). However, when I tried to switch them I get the following error, albeit only when I try to send mail from one domain hosted on this machine to another domain hosted on the same machine:
mail for mydomain.com loops back to myself.
Any ideas?

You are correct, it should be the other way around.
That said, there is a bug in Server Admin. It will sometimes not correctly references the domain name portion in the mydestination parameter in /etc/postfix/main.cf.
So while it would be a good idea to swap things, you will need to also add the domain name as a local host alias in Server Admin to get mail going again.
HTH,
Alex

Domain name/host name/external hosts

I have an external website, for argument sake: waterworld.net
I want to host the mail internally, and i have set up DNS records with my name registrar that has the A record point to my external web host, and I have created an MX record of "mail.waterworld.net" which points to the ip address of where I am hosting the mail server.
Should i give my server a name that looks like a fqdn based on my website? or should it be called something simple like "server.loc"? currently, that is what I have done.
Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
server.loc
waterworld.net, or
mail.waterworld.net
Then the next option, Hostname, I am guessing that is one of:
waterworld.net, or
mail.waterworld.net
I have done a search, and the closest I have found was this post, but it's a different question based around a similar situation.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10580535&#10580535
I am not a total newbie, and have been running my own mail server for a few years now, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do it correct last time, so thought I would try and get it right from the start this time. Sorry guys, if this is a really basic question, but I want to get this right.
thanks

Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
[snip]
This field sets the primary domain of the server - the domain it accepts mail for. in this case it would make sense to set 'waterworld.net'.
Then the next option, Hostname,
This sets the name it advertises itself as when sending outgoing mail. This should be mail.waterworld.net.

How to publish custom web site with own domain name?

Hey out there. I wonder if anyone can give me any tips on how to publish a web site with my own domain name.
I have a web site I'm building and I want to purchase a domain name and then publish the site using that domain name.
I know how to buy a domain name. I have a .mac account so I'm hoping that .mac can host the site. What I don't quite understand how to do is get .mac to host the site using that domain name. I looked through Apple Support but couldn't find what I was looking for. Just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. Thanks in advance.

Dave ~ Welcome to the discussions. .Mac was re-branded as MobileMe last July. If you're not building your site with iWeb, it's considered to be a "custom" website. These Apple docs may help:
MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
iWeb ’08: Using your own domain name
...Use this search page to find such documents:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
Note that you don't need to have iLife '08 to be able to direct your domain name to your custom website published to MobileMe. As someone wrote on another thread:
"My personal domain is linked to my MM but i don't even have ilife on my mac. When you go to the options in MM to link your personal domain to your MM it provides directions that will guide you with setting up your godaddy settings."
...Where "MM" is MobileMe here:
http://me.com/account
...+Personal Domain+ tab, and "godaddy" is wherever your domain name is registered.

Exchange 2013 wildcard certificate - problem IMAP POP Because the matter is not a fully qualified domain name

Hi all, I have an Exchange 2013 SP1, I have installed a third-party SSL certificate and correctly on the server, but when I assign the POP and IMAP services, I see this error
The certificate with thumbprint XXXXXXXXX and subject '*. Xxxx.yyy' can not be used for POP SSL / TLS connections because the matter is not a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Use the Set-POPSettings X509CertificateName command to set the FQDN of the service.
I tried to run this command and restart the POP and IMAP services
ImapSettings set-ca-server-1-X509CertificateName mail.xxxxx.yyy
POPSettings set-ca-server-1-X509CertificateName mail.xxxxx.yyy
But the POP and IMAP services, the certificate is not assigned.

Hi,
Before we go further, I’d like to confirm if you can use POP and IMAP properly.
If everything goes well, we can safely ignore it:
http://www.hsuconsulting.com/wildcard-ssl-certificate-exchange-2013-imap-and-pop-error/
If not, we can try the following commands :

Set-ImapSettings -ExternalConnectionSetting {mail.domain.com:993:SSL}

Mail from my internal domain is not routing e-mail to my subdomain located on googles server

Exchange 2010, Server 2008,
I've migrated my user accounts with the google migration tool to google's mail servers. Now I'm having trouble sending e-mail from my domain account to my sub domain accounts at google mail.
For example
When e-mailing from [email protected] to [email protected] I receive a "Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups: The domain name in the e-mail address is incorrect. Check the address"
However, If I send an e-mail from other domains such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com the e-mails are successfully sent to [email protected] I can also successfully send e-mail from hotmail.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com to [email protected]
The mx records provided by google's mail server are properly set.
I believe the problem lies in my exchange server. It does not recognize the subdomain and seems to be managing the subdomain itself. The bounce back message I receive is:
#554 5.4.4 SMTPSEND.DNS.NonExistentDomain; nonexistent domain ##
Please help

Did you figure this out? I have the same issue. I know it's an old post.
