Basic Mail Tutorial?

I'd like to set up a fairly basic mail server using OS X 10.4 Server on my LAN. I do not have a static IP, but am using dynamic DNS. The main issue I've run into so far is that none of the users I've created on the server appear to have mail accounts, even though they all have "Enabled" selected under the Mail tab of Workgroup Manager.
I'm also not sure of what the configuration should be for my situation-
-dynamic WAN address
-static, non-publically-routable LAN address
I have my router set to forward SMTP traffic on port 25 to my server, but I don't know if there are other settings I need to make in OS X Server itself.

the accounts are created when the user checks mail or mail is recvd for the account. it's normal not to see an account you've created until that occurs.
you are asking for a basic tutorial.... that's what the documentation should provide. post questions for anything that comes up.
Because you are on a dynamic IP, you are going to have some issues, particularly with black-lists. If you check the option in ServerAdmin>Mail>Settings to "Relay All Outgoing Mail Through Host" and enter your ISPs SMTP server, this should help outgoing mail to be delivered reliably. If your ISP requires SMTP-Authentication, a search on this board should reveal the answer.
For incoming mail. You have a changing IP address, so of course you need a DNS service which will update (I use zoneedit.com)...
To setup mail service is not trivial, you can tell by the number of posts to this message board. Start with the docs, you have to be committed enough to read them.
Please post any specific questions you have...

Can' open my Yahoo mail after Nightly updated, have to load basic mail, will open in Internet Explorer

It will not open any of my mail unless I revert to basic mail worked fine til last Nightly update.

You need to go back to the 5/27 Nightly build. There was a change in the code and broke Yahoo. Nightly builds can break '''anything''' at '''anytime'''. For anyone using the Nightly builds, this is common knowledge.
Anyway, go back to the 5/27 nightly and stay there until this is fixed:

You can watch this bug if you want:

But if something breaks in nightly again, please don't be surprised. Just go back to the previous day's nightly.

Using Yahoo Basic Mail w/FF, no drop down box of my e-mail contacts as I type an e-mail address - but it works in IE 8, plz fix ...

I use Yahoo Basic Mail. When composing an e-mail, Yahoo has an "e-mail address autocomplete" function. As I begin to type an e-mail address in the To CC, or BCC boxes - if there are addresses in my Yahoo Contact list with the same string of characters, a drop down box appears and I can click on the desired address and it populates the To, CC, or BCC box. This is an extremely convenient feature.
And, it works with IE 8. BUT, this feature DOES NOT work with FF 30.
Obviously, this is a problem with FF 30 - can you plz advise as how to correct the problem?
FYI: Java plug-in is always activated and JavaScript is default enabled in FF 30 on my PC.

Encountering Problems with Basic Sound Tutorial

Hello everyone,
I am encountering problems with a basic sound tutorial. I am absolutely confused as to what the problem may be because the code is so simple, and is essentially copied from the textbook. I am convinced that I have done something very silly but cannot see it.
I have attempted to run this in an appletviewer, Firefox and Internet Explorer. I have attempted to launch it from both a .class file and a .jar file. I have uninstalled and offline installed the JDK and JRE and successfully tested the new installations.
The audio file I am attempting to load and play is an .AU (Sun/Next 8-bit u-law) audio file I created in Audacity. It is located in the same folder as the AudioApplet.class file.
My sound system is defintely on, since I have listened to music all day. I have attempted running the program with Media Player closed.
package edu.myuniversityid.sandbox;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.applet.AudioClip;
* @author Ibuki
public class AudioApplet extends Applet
     * Initialization method that will be called after the applet is loaded
     * into the browser.
    public void init()
        super.init();
        AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getDocumentBase(), "sample.au");
        ac.play();
}The code compiles fine, however absolutely I get a small white window when it is run. No sound.
Thankyou for your time.
Regards,
Ibuki.
PS. I am sure this worked before the university forced me to update my version of Windows to SP2. Hence, the reason for reinstalling Java. Twice.
Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 11:09 AM becasuse: Added a PS.

I have attempted this alternative, without success:
    public void init()
        try
            super.init();
            URL url = new URL(this.getDocumentBase(), "sample.au");
            AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(url);
            ac.play();
        catch (MalformedURLException ex)
            Logger.getLogger(AudioApplet.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }The sample.au is definetly in the correct directory. Both File Explorer and NetBeans confirm this.
Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 11:59 AM
I have discovered a temporary solution that works in the applet viewer. The applet will load and plays the correct music perfectly. However, using this code it is not working when I try to deploy it using a web browser (MSIE and FF)!
public void init()
        super.init();
        AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getClass().getResource("sample.au"));
        ac.play();
Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 12:12 PM
Eureka!
Having worked in the applet viewer I managed to get it working in the web browser by simply packaging my SoundApplet.class and sample.au into a .jar archive.
<html>
     <body>
          <applet code="edu.myuniversityid.sandbox.AudioApplet.class" archive="dist/AudioApplet.jar">Unfortunately, this applet content cannot be displayed on this web page because your current browser does not support Java SE 6! Please <a href="http://www.java.com/">update your version of Java</a>.</applet>
     </body>
</html>
public void init()
        super.init();
        AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getClass().getResource("sample.au"));
        ac.play();
    }Thankyou everyone.

Need a Mail tutorial

I'm trying to transfer my several email accounts from Mail in OSX10.4.11 to Mail in OSX10.6.8. I've installed my entire OSX and all software in less time than I've spent trying to get my Mail accounts across.
I need a Mail tutorial. Not one that tells you how to use it, but one that explains what all the options do and how the various mailboxes operate. For instance, I've got three versions now of each account: one at the top under MAILBOXES, one in the middle under IMPORTED, and one at the bottom named with the name I assigned it. What a mess.
Any suggestions as to a detailed tutorial that explains all this stuff?

Thanks Kurt for all your suggestions. I've passed a couple of Helpful Answers your way.
Since your last response a few weeks ago I've played around with Mail some more, but it became too much of a mess. There appears to be no easy way to set up a POP account in Mail unless you happen to know all the appropriate server settings. Even when you change to POP, Mail keeps calling the account an IMAP account. After 2.5 GB of unnecessary uploads and downloads (Mail was trying to synchronise, or whatever you call it, and I didn't want it to), I gave Mail the boot.
Turns out there was a one-word solution to my problem: Thunderbird. I downloaded it, installed it, opened it, chose the POP option, entered user names and passwords for five accounts, and Thunderbird consulted its database and entered the appropriate settings. Then I imported all my emails from Mail, copied them to the appropriate folders, and that was it. Worked first time.
I don't like tossing Apple software, but for me, Mail was too difficult to set up.
To anyone else who reads this thread and has difficulty with Mail, my suggestion is: try Thunderbird.
CCCloner
Re why I don't use CCC. Well, actually I do, occasionally. But as incremental backup software, it is too slow for my liking – about 1/10 of the speed of SilverKeeper (SK). CCC is slow because it makes absolutely sure that files are identical, something I don't need; whereas SK simply checks modification dates and file size. It's worked for me for almost a decade, keeping track of >50,000 of my files (backed up to 4 hard drives), and I've never lost anything.
A few years ago I contacted Mike Bombich, the author of CCC, about the speed difference. He agreed that CCC would be significantly slower than SK for the reasons listed below. According to Mike, SK uses method (b) whereas CCC uses Method (c), explaining why CCC is so much slower for my backups -- because 36,000 of my 58,000 files (that then existed) have "extended attributes" which were probably resource forks.
For the purpose of this conversation, though, the gist is that you have many files that have two data structures -- a data fork and a resource fork. Each of these data structures can change independently of each other. Resource forks, however, do not have modification dates -- the modification date of a file only refers to the data fork. As a result, backup utilities have a choice among three methods for determining whether to backup the resource fork as they scan your filesystem:
a) copy every resource fork, every time, just to be on the safe side
b) copy the resource fork of a file whenever the data fork of the file changes, or when the size of the resource fork has changed
c) compare a checksum of the resource fork on the source and target to determine if the resource fork has actually changed.
Aside from the above, the primary reason I don't clone is because an active OSX can be altered by opening it and using it, whereas a disk image of an OSX can't be changed. I prefer to make a disk image of my OSX partition, store it on my hard drives (the disk image gets backed up by SK, along with the rest of my data), and when I need to restore from it, I can be certain that the resulting OSX is pristine.
It's a bit like printing a book that was laid out in InDesign. You never send the "live" InDesign file to the printer (dangerous to do that) because the layout could change. You export to PDF from InDesign, then send the PDF to the printer. I treat OSX the same way: from a pristine OSX I "export" (clone) to a disk image, then "print" (restore) from that image.
Once again, thanks Kurt for all your help.

Basic Template tutorial

Suggestions for an easy to use basic template tutorial?
1) Specifically I want to create a template with a navbar
similar to this one:
www.mulberrywood.com
2) Without the center text and images
3) And with the bottom text links to other pages.
For some reason when I manually copy the text links at the
bottom of the page they never link correctly... I have to use the
link box at the bottom of the page to erase the link and then paste
in the link and then they always work...

> I am seeking a very easy to follow tutorial (preferably
with step by step

others) myself.
Did you read the tutorial at the dw template tutorial link I
supplied?

Yet when I

> logical reason but what
I'm not exactly sure you are having the copy and paste
problem, but I would
assume it's because the links aren't being recognised
correctly.
Ok, I'll give you the steps to take to create a template from
that mulberry
page.
Make sure the page you want to create a template from is
correctly coded,
the links are correct, the links to graphics are correct
extra.
1.Open the site you want to work on. ( you need to be working
in a defined
DW site for templates to be created correctly
2.Open the index page (which is the one I presume you want to
create into a
template).
3.Leave everything as it is.
4. Go to FILE>SAVE AS TEMPLATE
5. You will get a dialogue box..
with the Site box already filled in (should be the name of
you defined site)
Save As: give your template a name (eg: mainpage)
Save
6. You will be asked to update links. Say yes
7. You now need to create an editable region (this is the
area that you
will be changing on every page).
8. Highlight the center table in your content area
9. Go to : INSERT>TEMPLATE OBJECTS> select Editable
Region
10. Dialogue box: Name: maincontent (or whatever you want to
call this
editable region)
11. Click OK
12. You have now created a template.
the code around your table should now look like this:

<table> bla bla bla </table>

13. Now if you want to create a 'child page' from this
template go to:
FILE>NEW> and select the TEMPLATES tab
You should now see the name of the template you create.
13. Select the template and a page will now be created for
you.
You should now see a page exactly the same as your index page
(if that is
what you used to create the template), except that you can't
change anything
in any area apart from that middle table.
14. You now need to save this page.
SAVE AS: services.html (or whatever).
Make sure you save the file to the root of your folder (where
all your other
files are kept, DO NOT save into the template folder) You are
not to have
anything in the Templates folder apart from the dwt file.
15. Your bottom links in your template file (dwt) will look
something like
this:
a href="../howtofoldpocketsquares/pocketsquarefolds.htm"
This is because once the template is created, the link needs
to point to the
root of your site.
When you look at the same link in the child page you created
it will look
like this:
a href="howtofoldpocketsquares/pocketsquarefolds.htm"
That's about it. You cannot however, apply this template to
your other
pages. You can, however, it may be difficult for a novice to
accomplish
until they understand how templates work.
If you managae to create the template, you will have to
create a child page
and then copy and paste the contents from your other pages
into that
maincontent editable region you create.
Another thing to remember is that in your template, make sure
when / if you
add links to make them Relative to: document. This way, your
linking should
always be correct.
For when you want to create a new template at any other time
(not with this
site), the steps are pretty similar. Create your page, save
as template,
add any editable regions you need and follow the steps from
there.
PS: I did notice in your code, that you are using <th>
in your tables
instead of <tr>
<th> is really used for headings, you should be using
<tr> table rows.
When you insert a table, there should be a dialogue box,
where you need to
DESELECT header rows.
Anything that gets put into a <th> gets a bold
formatting, which is not what
you really want when you create a table correctly.
This table tutorial may also be of some help to you:
http://www.dwfaq.com/Tutorials/Tables/flexible_tables.asp
Phew !! I think that's about it and I hope this helps, at
least a bit ;-)

Basic Mail and DNS help

I'm sorry to ask something that I'm sure has been dealt with many times. I've searched all around and found many threads that seem very close, but I guess there's some little difference that always ends up confusing me. I also get confused by what seems to me to be ambiguous terminology. Anyway, I'm pulling my hair out, so I've finally decided to ask for help.
I'm sorry that this post is so long -- I just don't know what bit of info might be important. I'm trying to give a detailed description of my setup so experienced people can give me better advice.
Here's my situation.
EXTERNAL DNS
(1) I've purchased a domain name through my ISP. Let's call it mydomain.tld
(2) This comes with a very rudimentary control panel that allows me to define 10 A records, 10 CNAME records and 10 MX records.
(3) I have defined an A record pointing to my static WAN IP.
(4) I have deifined an MX record pointing to the same static WAN IP.
(5) This seems to be OK, because if I "dig mydomain.com" or "dig MX mydomain.com" I get my static WAN IP.
MY LITTLE NETWORK
(6) The Internet comes into a 4-port router/modem. (192.168.0.x) This is my "Outer LAN"
(7) One port goes to a Mini with SLS -- Say it's on 192.168.0.99
(8) Another port goes to another router (192.168.1.x) This is my "Inner LAN"
(9) I have forwarded port 80 through the outer router to the SLS. That seems to work fine.
(10) I have also forwarded port 25 through the outer router to the SLS. That does not work yet.
The SLS
(11) When I did the initial install, I gave the SLS the name mydomain.private (I some places, Server Admin gives the name mydomain.local ... I don't know why.)
(12) I set up the INTERNAL DNS on the SLS to handle all initial DNS queries from my LANs, with my ISP's DNS as a forwarder.
(13) I set up the DHCP on my routers to assign the internal DNS server on the SLS as the primary DNS, and my ISP's DNS server as the secondary -- so clients on my LANS are looking at the right DNS servers.
(14) DNS seems to work fine on both my LANs.
BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER:
If anyone sees any problems with what I have done so far -- Please say so.
... and now THE MAIL
(15) I created a few network user accounts on SLS.
(16) Using squirrelmail, they were able to send and receive messages to each other -- using a browser on the SLS machine or a browser on any other computer on the LANs. But this is all resolved through the internal DNS, using mydomain.private
(17) Mail clients (Mail.app) on the LAN can also retrieve these messages. But I can't send mail using a regular mail client ... and squirrelmail only works internally with mydomain.private
Now, I want to get my mail server working normally for sending and receiving mail both within my LAN and over the Internet. And here is where I get confused. There's the EXTERNAL DNS server that clients on the Internet will use to find my server -- and there's the INTERNAL DNS server that clients on my LAN (?and possibly some services on the server itself?) will use. Then there are terms like HOSTNAME and DOMAIN NAME ... and I'm not really very clear as to the disnction (despite, or because of, reading so many articles). I don't know where I should be using mydomain.com and where I should be using mydomain.private)
in the Mail Service Configuration Assistant:
(18) I use mydomain.com for both the Domain Name (Enter the local Internet domain name) and for the Host name (enter the Internet host name of this mail system). These match the A and MX records of my EXTERNAL DNS (ie. what I see on my ISP's control panel).
(19) To try to make things easier to start with, I enabled all options for both secure and non-secure authentication.
(20) I added a host alias mydomain.private
(21) Setup appeared to go fine.
(22) Back on the LAN, "dig MX mydomain.com" gives my static WAN IP
(23) In the outer router, port 25 is forwarded to the SLS
(24) In SLS, in Server Assistant, In DNS, Mail Exchanger is set to mydomain.private -- this works for sending mail within the LAN only.
(25) I tried changing this to mydomain.com, and then nothing worked.
(26) The Nameserver for my primary zone is set to:
Zone: mydomain.private.
Hostname: mydomain.private
When I try to send a message FROM an account on the Internet TO an account on the SLS, I get an error: "Couldn't find a Mail Exchanger or IP address."
When I try to send a message FROM an account on the SLS TO an account on the Internet, the Mail Delivery System returns it to the sender.
Well, that's where I stand now.
I hope people reading will give me some ideas of some other paths to run down, and tests or experiments to try. I'm not afraid of the command line -- but I'm not very experienced with it either -- so maybe there are some useful diagnostic commands that I should know about.
My ISP is not blocking port 80.
Is there some way that I can tell if my ISP is blocking port 25? (Their customer support doesn't know anything.)
Thanks a lot for your attention and patience.
(Intentionally Blank)

Oops. Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
Thanks David_x. That was really helpful information. It opened up more questions, but it gave me some good ideas of things to try.
I reinstalled SLS. This time I used my FQDN and accepted the installer's
David_x wrote:
Firstly, remove the secondary from DHCP. Otherwise clients will 'randomly' use info from either inside or outside DNS. You want them to use the internal DNS so use that alone.
I see. So "secondary" doesn't mean "in case the primary fails" -- it means something more like "another one in the pool of possible DNS servers". Doesn't that present a problem in the event that my server is down? Why is this preferred as opposed to clearly defined prioritized list? (Then there is another issue of some services using mDNSResponder in some cases and resolv.conf -- at least that's fairly well documented.)
DNS & Hostname, etc...
If you want to be able to access services from inside and outside your LAN, using the server's hostname (same one inside and out), then set up your internal DNS using your .com domain, same as is used externally.
Okay. Got it. I did that with the reinstall.
DNS is only an "IP lookup" system so you want the hostname inside to resolve to your LAN IP and the hostname outside to resolve to your WAN IP. Forget about the .private stuff - it just confuses things.
Okay. Thanks.
Public MX Record…
(3) I have defined an A record pointing to my static WAN IP.
(4) I have deifined an MX record pointing to the same static WAN IP.
The above may not be what you meant to say but just to check… Your public MX record should resolve to your A record hostname. Then the hostname resolves to an IP address. Your MX record should not be pointing directly to an IP address.
Yes. You are right. That's very good of you to point that out. I did have it pointing to an IP address. (My ISPs simplistic DNS control panel is in Spanish, and I was confused about whether "nombre" referred to a name or number.) I had discovered this through brute force trial and error. This sort of thing was very difficult to test, since I don't have control over many of the DNS parameters (like TTL). That was probably my main problem. Now I can send and receive mail from my server to outside accounts, and from outside accounts to my server.
At the moment, I can't retrieve mail on my server from a computer outside of my network. I suppose that's an authentication problem, or a hostname alias or something. I'll continue trying different things.
Testing Port 25...
To see if port 25 is blocked, get an outside computer and "telnet your-wan-ip 25". If you can switch on logging at the firewall for your port-forwarding rule, all the better as this will be only sure way to see that it is reaching the WAN firewall.
By "logging at the firewall", I suppose you mean at the router? Alright. I still have to try this. From my point of view, this kind of suggestion is great advice.
Instead of using an outside computer, would it be possible to do this sort of checking using an anonymizing proxy? I suppose they usually don't allow telnet.
...any chance this could be tested from my "inner" LAN? (My guess is that it needs to be from a computer that is "upstream" relative to the "outer" router. I'm under the impression that routers handle upstream connections differently than downstream connections, this wouldn't work.)
After that, test at server... open Terminal and enter: "tcpdump -v tcp port 25"
Tcpdump will listen on port 25. When the telnet session gets port-forwarded, you will see a listing of information about the packet received. If you get nothing then the port-forwarding is not working.
So, to make sure I've got this straight:
Turn on logging on port 25 in my outer router.
Go to Terminal on my server.
Start tcpdump listening on port 25.
Take my netbook out to some WiFi hotspot (for example).
Telnet into my server.
Come home and check my logs.
(Maybe I should check out this VPN stuff.)
I'm looking to see that the router forwarded the port correctly.
That's great trouble shooting advice.
Now you'll see how slow I am. I'm reading along, running through all of this in my head, imagining all of my steps ... And only now do I realize that if (as of my latest experiments) my server has been able to receive mail from outer accounts -- then the router must be forwarding things and the mail server is, to some extent, working fine. Okay. I'm still going to go through these steps anyway to see what it should look like.
Server Admin: Domain Name & Hostname...
The Domain Name is just your domain name... e.g., mydomain.com
The Hostname is ideally the same as your external MX hostname... e.g., mail.mydomain.com
The main thing about the Hostname is that this is what your server will report as it's HELO name to other connecting mail servers. Some will check this against the public MX record and use any discrepancy to increase likelihood of spam filtering.
Is there really any reason that a small setup like mine should use "mail.mydomain.com" instead of just "mydomain.com". Since I don't have a separate machine dedicated to mail, maybe it's just an unnecessary complication. I was just copying what I've seen around (configuration for mail and articles I've read).
Under Advanced-> Hosting, tick the "Include server's domain as local host alias".
Okay. What exactly does this do? I understand the words, but not the sense of the phrase. (I find this happening a lot.)
Checking Server Settings…
Use a terminal session to debug any basic configuration issues on the server. The error responses are much more informative than just using a mail client. Open Terminal in a local computer… "telnet server-lan-ip 25" and carry out following…
I could connect with telnet to port 25 on the server:
(1) From a remote computer.
(2) From a local client.
(3) From the server
As we step through the experiment, you will see that we have a few problems.
Server Response:
Trying...
Connected to fqdn.or.ip.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 fqdn.or.ip ESMTP Postfix
#1. Declare where you are sending the email from:
HELO something.name
You can use a real hostname but the mail server has no choice but to accept whatever you type.
Response: 250 servers.hostname
So far, so good.
On remote computers, I couldn't get any further than this.
I'll try again tonight.
#2. Give senders address:
MAIL FROM:<mail@senderdomain>
Response: 250 Ok
I could get this to work for either a local email account or a remote email account, from telnet sessions initiated either on the server itself or on a local client.
#3. Give recipients address:
RCPT TO:<mail@otherdomain>
Response: 250 Ok
Here, I did not get consistent results.
From a local account to a remote account, I could get "Relay access denied".
From a local account to a local account, I could get "Recipient address rejected. Service is unavailable. But this was not consistent. I used three different local accounts, and all could send or receive at one time or another.
#4. Start composing the message:
DATA
Response: 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
#5. Type a message. Finish with a single "." on a line on it's own.
Response: 250 Ok: queued as dah,de,da
#6. Close the connection by typing: QUIT
Response:221 Bye... Connection closed by foreign host.
suggestion for hostname.
Were you going to add something else here?
Well, any comments or insights that you might add will be very much appreciated. I'm going to continue sending and receiving and making little tweaks. It's really pretty confusing for a newbie. I thank you a lot for all the time you spent reading and helping me.

Solaris 10 basic network tutorial

Hi there,
I have a solaris 10 machine and a windows xp machine.
I have them linked up with a cross over cable.
I have set the IP on the windows machine to 192.168.0.100 on a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
What i cannot seem to fathom (although i did manage it on linux, somehow) is how to configure the solaris machine.
Does anyone know of a good BASIC tutorial on how i can get the two machine networked. Basically, i would like to get ftp and telnet working between the machines.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Andrew

It will tell you the 'instance name' of your network
card, but a whole lot else about devices and
boot histories.
So you need to run it, pipe the output into
a grep (search) for network, and pipe the
result of that into a grep for pci. I'm using your
network card will be some kind of PCI card
Here's what I get:
# dmesg | grep -i network | grep pci
Feb 7 19:13:59 ten genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1 (hme0) online
hme0 is therefore my interface name.
'hme' is the driver name, '0' is the first one.
# man hme
gives you the scarey driver details.
So I need to have /etc/hostname.hme0 in order
to have a hostname. Only one line in the file,
only one word in it -- the same as the hostname
you supplied in /etc/hosts.
On sparc, the drivers include hme, qfe, eri and le.
On x86, they include bcme and ibprb.
An x86 box with a one broadcom network card
will have bcme0.

Help with setting up a basic mail server for Notes sync

Hello,
I have managed to setup a CalDAV and CardDAV server for local syncing of my iOS devices with Mavericks via Mavericks Server.
I wish to also sync notes.
I understand a mail server is required and I have been trying to set one up solely for notes sync.
After turning on the mail server I can sync notes to the server on my Mac but I cant figure out how to do it on the iOS devices.
Is it possible to setup a local mail server?
Can someone provide me with a basic guide?
Thanks

Thanks for reply Simon.
I havent been able to find a guide so I have been guessing trying to setup the email server. Basically ive tried to setup a user email [email protected] (syncuser is also the account I use to sync my calendar and contacts)
I have turned on the mail server, made a new account on my Mac in mail:
Description: OS X Server
Email Address: [email protected]
Full Name: syncuser
Incoming Mail Server: myserver.local
User Name: syncuser
In the user account I have added the email address.
Im guesing I have to make the mail account somewhere in the server settings but I cant find anything. If turn off SSL in the mail settings I at least get a response from the server:
Unable to Connect
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “OS X Server” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “myserver.local” on port 143 failed (error 49: Can't assign requested address)

As the name suggests Web Dynpro for ABAP uses exactly the same meta model as its cousin Web Dynpro for Java. A Web Dynpro component, a Web Dynpro view, a Web Dynpro model, a Web Dynpro controller have the same semantics both for ABAP and Java. The main difference is the designtime environment, the development infrastructure and the runtime environment.
The designtime environment is properly embedded in the ABAP Workbench where Web Dynpro artifacts are simply a new category like BSP applications or classical dynpro based applications before. Also no surprises regarding the development infrastructure. The correction and transport system keeps track on all changes that are done, versions them and helps to propagate the Web Dynpro application from development to production like you would do with ordinary BSP or dynpro-based applications.
Last not least the execution platform is the ABAP server that produces application content ready to be integrated in the NetWeaver Portal seamlessly. Features like portal eventing can be used between applications written in ABAP or applications developed with Java.
First of all start doing SAP SDN tutorials .
Create some compenents with BAPI , Component usage and ALV .

/people/marilyn.pratt/blog/2005/12/20/web-dynpro-for-abap
Try to Download demo tutorials from SDN library & Try to search WebDynpro ABAP WebLogs .
Wait not just that SAP has provided you with ample demo example of WD ABAP already bundled with SAP . Just Try out Components starting with WDR . I can tell you few like WDR_TEST_EVENTS ( It shows how every UI elments to use )
See packages like SWDP_DEMO , SALV_WD_DEMO

Basic EJB Tutorial

Hello there!
Probably this is the wrong forum to post this, but since I couldn't find where to do it, here it goes...
Does anybody know where I can find an EJB tutorial that develops a BASIC example with source code and that uses NETBEANS IDE with its embedded server, like SJSAS 9?
Thank you very much for your time... and
God Bless

Thank you very much sir,
Does anybody know in which forum should I post in order to get more replies on this topic ?
Thanks in advance !

Basic Mail Migration Procedure 10.5 to 10.6

I've got a very basic question about migrating Apple Mail from 10.5 to 10.6. The old mail is from a 10.5 Macbook with a dead logic board. The mail folder was copied to the drive of a new 10.6 Macbook -- but migration assistant was not used. On the new machine, Mail has never been initialized -- just opened once and closed when the system asked for an email address, etc.
My guess is that I should drag the entire Mail folder from the old machine to the ~/Library folder on the new machine. And also copy the old com.apple.mail.plist file to the new ~/Library/Preferences folder.
Then just start mail and let it do the import. Everything should come over, correct? Am I missing anything?
Thanks very much in advance to anybody who can shed any light.
Steve

I just meant that when I migrated my address book database from my old MBP to my new one, I just made a backup of said address book database (in address book.app), transfered the backup file to my new MBP, and imported its content into the new address book application. This mechanism is simple, straightforward, and above all, reassuring, as I don't feel afraid of loosing some data. I never talked about the repository of addresses captured in mail. I just think that there should be such a functionality in mail.app, to be able to quickly backup and migrate your entire local email database.

Small Basic Technet tutorial - lesson 3.1

I'm having some trouble with the small basic lessons, at the moment specifically 3.1 but there have been other instances where provided code hasn't worked etc...
I'm using the PowerPoint Slides of the Small Basic tutorial and I'm on lesson 3.1 slide 5, the code doesn't work, I have no idea where the temp file is meant to be and whether its something that I'm meant to have created prior to running this program or
whether the program is meant to create it itself.
I'm not sure where the appropriate forum is for this type of query, if there's a better place to post that'd be ace. The options here were pretty limited and there wasn't one that said programming or small basic
cheers

I am sorry to hear you are having issues, but this is the System Centre Mobile Device Manager forum. Please post on the appropriate forum for further help.

Very Basic Mail Issue

I have been hosting my website on a g4 xserve with 10.3 server successfully for a year and a half or so. I am not running any mail server on the machine. All email for the domain is hosted by an email hosting company.
Recently I noticed scripts that generate email on the server are unable to send to users with the same domain. Example: If the website hosted on the server is mydomain.com the server itself cannot send any email to [email protected] but can send email perfectly to any other domain.
I am sure there is a simple record that needs to be added somewhere but I have been unable to find it. I assume I am asking my books, forums, and google the wrong questions. If anyone understands what is going on here I would really appreciate a little advice. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong section.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Dave for all your help.
Here is the result of that command.
Dictionary: "DNS: host mail.mydomain.com"
lookup_DNSdomain: mydomain.com
lookup_DNSserver: 4.2.2.1
lookup_DNS_time_tolive: 1800
lookup_DNStimestamp: 1149873524
lookupagent: DNSAgent
lookup_infosystem: DNS
interface: 4
ip_address: 207.176.130.114
name: mail.mydomain.com
+ Category: host
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 3
The ip addy listed is that of my email host so that is correct. The DNS server listed is from the collocation facility where the xserve is.
