Barracuda spam filter not downloading mail to xserve - smtp problem?

Hi-
We just had to upgrade from 10.3 to 10.5 last week (a nightmare that seems to be continuing). We seem to be up and running but there is a weeks accumulation of mail on our barracuda spam filter thzt is not coming through plus any new e-amil from outside the network. Mail seems to be working okay from within the doman. I did a serveradmin check on mail and it is running. In looking through other posts I tried to telnet into the smtp port. I get a timeout when I try to connect from another machine. When I try through localhost I get:
sh-3.2# telnet localhost smtp
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Can't assign requested address
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Can't assign requested address
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 xserve.testeq.com ESMTP Postfix
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
The mail.log file does show that the Barracuda is connecting but possibly intermitently?
Of course there could be another problem involved but does anyone have an idea of what may be happening?
Thanks,
Alan Husby

Any ideas as to why this should be happening?

Okay - I found a problem with /private/anvil, added anvil line to master.cf and then ran the /etc/postfix/post-install script - Are there any other post install scripts that no one saw fit to put in the documentation that need to run?
I can now connect to the smtp port from another machine. I still get the above errors when I connect to localhost (but it does connect, I forgot to mention above). Still no sign of the weeks worth of mail backed up on the barracuda...

Verizon spam filter not working---how can I stop the massive influx of SPAM?

For more than 5 months I have tolerated the massive influx of Spam from my emial account. I check my spam filter settings, my outlook junk mail settings, and even resorted to deleting spam one by one. There has to be some solution to stopping this push of junk mail from the server to my inbox.
Any ideas and suggestions?

SPAM Detector tool - for incoming email only
What does SPAM DETECTOR tool do?
Your ability to communicate with family or friends can be hindered by unsolicited email or "spam". If you have your SPAM Detector ON, it will sift and catch unsolicited emails sent to your email account and either present them in the SPAM Detector folder or delete them. (Note: You can adjust your SPAM Detector settings in the Settings/Email Settings tab within Message Center.)
Furthermore, if there are emails you deem as SPAM, you can “Mark as SPAM” by selecting the email from your email inbox list view and select SPAM icon from top menu bar. It will put the email in your SPAM Detector folder and send an email to the VZ Abuse team and third party vendor to evaluate. If it is deemed SPAM, SPAM Detector definitions/rules will be updated.
Please note that marking email as SPAM does not add the email to the Blocked Senders list. Furthermore, SPAMMERs rarely use the same email address more than once to send SPAM.
With that said, You should start doing the following:
You- should start reporting the spam with a spam button in the webmail client
For-ward spam emails that were not caught to [email protected]
Set your e-mail filter. An e-mail filter and spam blocking software are absolutely critical. Set these security measures to update automatically to ensure that you are protected from the latest threats.
NEVER reply to spam. Replying to spam, even to "unsubscribe," could set you up for more spam.
Protect your e-mail address and instant message ID. If you must post this information online, set up two identities, one for real use and one for online activities.
Be wary of e-mail attachments. Change the settings on your e-mail program so that images and attachments are not opened automatically. Only open attachments from users known to you.
Watch out for phishing scams. Don't click on links in e-mails or instant messages unless the sender is known to you. Instead, open a separate web browser and visit the site directly.
Create smart and strong passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Never enter your personal information in a pop-up window. You may not be able to tell when a scammer has hijacked a seemingly legitimate site.
Don't fill out online surveys, or register for contests or fan clubs. These may be fronts for spammers trying to collect your e-mail address

SPAM filter not working

Over the last week or two, SPAM going into my Inbox has spiked to about 15-20 messages a day. I've confirmed my SPAM filter is enabled and quite a bit of spam is filtered everyday. Is something wrong with Verizon's SPAM filter? I've searched this forum and it seems this is a recurring issue. I don't want to close this email account but it's getting ridiculous and messy to manage.
Thanks!

I guess you are already doing all of this, http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/highspeed/troubleshooting/security/questionsone/...
You can also use blocking- Settings - email settings - blocking
A better logn term solution is to use a free email solution such as zohomail. IF you use the free addrees provided by them as your primary account you should see a huge decrease in SPAM plus you will still have full access to verion mail through zoho's full featured web interface.

I NOT download mail on laptop (but leave it for dl to my desktop); how can I get the lapt to recog what it already in its inbox and not add new copies each time

I use a small Acer laptop on trips. I read email on it, but leave the mail on the server (POP acct at my university) for download at home onto my desktop. My problem is that the laptop does not recognize what it has already copied to my inbox, and so adds a new copy of all mail (that is on server) each time I "get" my mail. Is there some way that I can get it to only "get" what mail it does not already have ?

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

Apple Mail not downloading mail

Even after the latest so called fix for Mavericks my Apple Mail still does not automatically download my email from Gmail. I have to go through old ones and delete something to prompt the download of the new ones to begin. Its very frustrating having all my new email on my phone but if its something I wont to view on the computer I can't as its not there waiting for me. Mail that was sent 3 hours ago has only just downloaded into Apple Mail although I have had it on my phone and iPad for all this time. If the latest fix was meant to fix this problem why does it still exist?

Try rebuilding each of your inbox's and see of that allows the download to proceed. Select the mailbox and then from the menu select Mailbox > Rebuild. Alternatively check to see if there is a message on the server that has an unknown sender. Delete it if that is the case and try downloading again.
Try disabling either one of the accounts (temporarily) and see if it is just one of them is causing the problem. Do that via Mail Preferences. Select Account and in the Advanced tab uncheck "enable this account". The account will disappear from the viewer window but the underlying account definition and details are not deleted so to make it visible again simply check "enable this account".

How can I disable the Spam filter on Apple Mail?

Hi All!
About a year ago I installed Virus Barrier X6 with Personal Antispam on my 27 inch iMac. The Virus software seems great and I have no issues. The Antispam I have never installed and i have continued with the Junk options, however I have an issue with what I think is the Intego version (you may correct me) which is driving me mad!
On the left hand column of my Apple mail software is a folder headed 'ON MY MAC', called Spam. eBay messages, work messages, banking etc etc are going straight into there and I cannot seem to alter any settings.
The email is highlighted in purple and when I try right clicking, it offers only the standard options as with any other email. There are no spam options at the top of the screen, there is nothing on the Launchpad relating to it and when I search the mac (top right), there are absolutely no hits whatsoever entitled Spam or similar?
Since my recent update to M/Lion, the Intego Personal Antispam icon on Launchpad has disappeared by the way - so I cannot be sure that this is an Intego. Is it possibly an Apple generated icon?
I would be happy to keep it there if I could control it. If not, I just need rid of the thing. I cannot teach the software to learn or unlearn - so i am completely at its mercy. Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation, John.
A screen shot is at this link for clarification.

It is caused by a rule within Apple Mail. Check Preference > Rules.
If Personal Antispam has disappeared, it's because the product was discountinued. See this link for that info plus some instructions on how to deal with what you are seeing: https://support.intego.com/entries/21639926-Personal-Antispam-Discontinued
Once Personal Antispam has been removed, you can just remove the folder manually (right click, remove).

Mail in Mavericks is not downloading mail messages if I read them in iOS mail app. Why?

More info:
The accounts in question are domains hosted by Google. Needless to say this is frustrating as in some cases I have to download the attachments in those messages, I have to forward the emails to another account in order to see them.
I have a feeling if a message is marked read the mail application does not bother to grab them. This is a different behaviour than before prior to the update. I'd appreciate any solutions.
Thanks in advance.

Want to use OSX server as virus/spam filter for existing mail server.

I have communigate pro completely configured and running on an iMac. hundreds of accounts, all working perfectly. The bummer is that the spam/virus filtering of Communigate Pro is weak, and I'd like to try the one built into my Xserve.
Right now I have the domain company.com, with two A records for mail.company.com (the communigate pro server) and xserve.company.com (the xserve). And right now the MX record for company.com points to mail.company.com.
I'd like to switch the MX record for company.com so that it points to xserve.company.com (which I know how to do). The xserve would then reject/delete/catch the spam/viruses and then forward on the remaining "good" messages to mail.company.com. The company.com clients would still get their mail from mail.company.com via Pop/Imap/Webmail.
Any and all help is truly appreciated!!!

imho... you may be over-complicating your system and adding additional points of failure to your architecture if you go this route.
Communigate Pro allows you to run both SpamAssassin 3 and Clamd (the main antivirus/antispamspam tools provided in OSX Server) very easily on your CGPro box.
MPP Free gives you a nice gui for configuring them.

E71 MFE 2.0.7 not downloading mails from Exchange ...

I have an E71 (bought in Mar 2009) which has MFE 2.0.7 setup and mail server configured to it. I used to get mails regularly. Since recent past, mails are not getting downloaded. sometimes after checking mails through my outlook, only messages "read" already alone gets downloaded. Unread messages never gets syncd in my mobile.
Is this because of MFE 2.0.7 getting corrupt? Also I tried to install MFE 2.0.9 (latest) from Download software, directly accessing from my E71, but in the Terms & Conditions page, the accept and download button is not appearing

remove repeating appointments in your outlook with no end date.
This will solve your problem.

Mail on Mac Pro not downloading mail sent from iPhone

Hi.
I have a gmail account set up on my Mac Pro and have just added the same account to my 3G iPhone. It all works fine except any mail I send from the iPhone doesn't appear on the Mac Pro. In Safari everything shows up on gmail. A copy of the mail sent from the iPhone even ends up in the sent mail folder, but nothing on the Mac Pro.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

My Offset filter not working in Cs6: Seamless pattern problems

Hi all.
Im trying to create a seamless pattern. using lots of layers.
Im going to filter/other/offset/, adding the vertical or horizontal dimensions for as 2953px (image size is 2953px x 2953px). and checking the ‘wrap around’ box.
But it’s not working & is cropping off loads of the layer, so not seamless at all.
I've tried with another layer and the same thing is happening.
I've 'revealed all' and shows nothing. I’ve tried to delete any transparent stray pixels around the layer I'm trying to wrap.
& I have also selected all & then cropped the image but it’s still happening.
I've googled till my hearts content but found no other idea on how to solve. Any ideas?
All my layers are from brushes I have created and used so lots of transparent textures. But that would be a problem if I have tried all of the above would it?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks. I have attached screen shot.
If you see on the top left and bottom left this is the "white flower copy" layer that I am trying to offset. This is a copy of the white flow with blue centre just to the left of the offset window.
You will see that the offset layer I want to wrap is missing the blue centre.

Gmail: 'Send Mail As' IMAP, SMTP problems

Hello,
Here's the background:
I have a work email address that's automatically forwarded to my gmail account. I have it setup through Gmail to use my works outgoing SMTP server so whenever I send an email through my Gmail account it appears to be coming from my work account. It works fine.
It does not work on the Iphone. I have tried setting up Gmail through exchange, through the normal Gmail setup and inputting manually through the IMAP setup. In all 3 occasions my Gmail email address appears on outbound email and not my work email.
My last effort was to input a new IMAP account into the Iphone using my works email address, Gmails incoming IMAP server and my works outgoing SMTP server. All with SSL and different usernames/passwords.
Theoretically it should've worked. And it did, sort of.
I was able to download the Inbox from Gmail with no problems. And, I was able to send email with the above configuration but the emails just vanished. The never reached their intended destination.
My works email is setup using Godaddy's server smtpout.secureserver.net. All usernames, passwords, ports etc... are correctly entered.
Any suggestions?

thnx for replying but the problem is that it does not show the emailadress that i chose to send from. When i click on the full name in "Sent Mail" it shows my primary email.
I want to see the emailadress i chose so i can check if I emailed with the correct address.
Lets say my primary email is: [email protected] and my secondary [email protected]
When i use [email protected] to send from it wont show this address in "Sent", it shows "From: My name" when i click on my name it shows [email protected] and not [email protected]
It did send it from [email protected] tho because when i log-in in webmail with [email protected] i see the email in "Sent Mail". And the inbox i sent the email to does see the emailadress i chose and the full name i use in Mail.app.
Idk if its possible to change this?
else i just have to stay using webmail if i want to use an other email to mail from.

Spam filter never learns to filter most addresses

Repeatedly, day after day, I have marked emails from certain addresses as spam but the next day they are back in my inbox. My Verizon Yahoo account learned these immediately. I hate wading through more spam than necessary. Why is the spam filter not working properly yet?

You might have better luck setting up a filter and/or adding the address(es) to your Blocked Senders list. The Spam Detector doesn't block based on sender, but on content of the message.

"All knowledge is worth having."

I can open the app store but I can not download apps, my internet is fine, I think the problem is in the settings.

I have an apple account and my internet is fine and I can open the app store but not download apps, I think the problem is in the settings.

What happens when you try to download an app ? If you aren't seeing the price/free button to be able to download them then do you currently have Settings > General > Restrictions > Apps (under the 'allowed content' heading) set to 'Don't allow apps' ?

Picture Message will not download

If my friends are using an Iphone and send me a picture message it will not download. I had this problem before and the people at the verizon store told me to do a software up date. I did and it fixed the issue for a few days. Now I am back toconstantly texting my friends back and saying your message wont download so I can't see the picture.
I hate this phone....should have waited for the Iphone.

Make sure you have 'mobile data' turned on in the notification bar.
If I turn that off, then I dont get pictures from friends with iphones.
As long as it is turned on, I seem to get text/pictures fine.
