Can recieve mail but not relayed to local users, can't send mail,

I am working on setting up a home server for web and email. I have server 10.2 and I can get the web working fine but the mail is giving me fits. The computer is behind by router on my private network. I have a domain name that is set for my router and it forwards all requests to the server. Have done that before with linux. I have set the computers network name to be the same as the domain name(probably a mistake). I can get the mail to be accepted by the server but then it gives a no user error when transfering to the local host for delivery. The only way I can edit using any of the tools is to type in the IP number and not the name.
Should I have named it something like server.domain.com? It is not too far along to reformat and start over. How do you change the network name? Is the network name my problem? I have tried messing with the DNS but it is not as easy and it sounds for 10.2 as in later versions.
Any suggetions would be helpful.

It's been too long since I've seen 10.2 to give you tips on it's mail config....
The main issue you may have is that your router probably doesn't support loopback. This page has a good explanation:

You can use /etc/hosts as described in the article if the machines stay in the office. Another solution is to change your router to one which does support loopback.

ICal server accessible from clients, but not from a local user...

So I've got iCal server running just fine, and the clients log in and work great.
However, when I try to connect to the iCal server from a user that's local to the server itself (i.e. a non-Admin user on the Mac Pro running the server software) I get Kerberos errors.
The user, while local, is also been added to the Directory via the Workgroup manager. And what's strange is that their login will work just fine when coming from a client, and will work just fine for things like the Wiki Server and such locally.
However, when we try to add an account to their iCal to let them see a Group's Shared Calendar and todos It asks for their Kerberos password, and then even if given a valid password for a valid user (that an outside client works fine with) it states that it can't find that user in the Kerberos.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't been able to figure out what. Any help would be loved!

Hi
Don't use Kerberos for the authentication method and it should work just fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
i assume the email account is your iCloud email account. have you tried turning off settings > iCloud > mail, restarting the phone and then re-enabling mail again.

My Iphone 4s can recieve messages but not send them

As above, I can recieve messages, but not send them, I have no idea what is going on and I haven't even done anything to it, it randomly just stopped working one day, I've tried resetting network settings, switching it on and off, switching on and off everything related to the internet... still nothing.
It also won't connect to the EE internet network but wifi is fine?
Please help Im getting frustrated

Also, to add, when it asks me to sign in to my apple ID it keeps saying my password for my email is wrong, when it's not, I checked it 5 times, entered the exact same password on the computer and it worked there.

A strange one-can recieve email, but not send

Okay, I have a powerbook G4 with an airport (graphite) and a siemens wireless gateway/modem provided by T**us
my mom's ISP. She can get on the internet okay (providing the signal doesn't get dropped, which it does) and downloads are fine, and she can recieve email, but not send. I have tried changing the smtp port to 587 from 25. Nothing from the activity monitor and no "whoosh". I have also tried setting up a new account (pop3) which the connection
doctor says is okay for sending and recieving. Any suggestions before I spend an hour or so with T**us' tech support
which for Macs isn't that good--frankly, I think the airport needs to be out of the picture---maybe it's fighting with the gateway??? :confused:

Hi John: Did you get the "Send" issue figured out with your computer? If not, here are some things to check out. It sounds like you are using Telus. If so the settings for incoming and outgoing servers is as follows: Incoming > "pop.telus.net" Outgoing > "smtp.telus.net". Server port is 25, with no SSL enabled.
Good Luck

That setting is only related to iMessage. It causes iMessages to be resent as SMS if iMessage fails.

Safari (7.0.1) is non-responsive (spinning pinwheel) upon start up. It will work in temp user account but not in my main user acct. I tried reinstall via comman-r prompt on start up but the problem persists. Any suggestion for reinstall or repair?

Safari is non-responsive after intitial start up. Before it can load the homepage (google), it will hang and give a perpetual pinwheel until I force quit the program. Safari works in temporary user account but not in my primary user account. I have reinstalled osx via the command-r upon start up and the problem still persists. Any suggestions on how to reinstall or repair safari?

Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

Can recieve emails but not send

hi,
yet another question I'm afraid.....
I can recieve incomming emails to my ipod touch but not send them and as a bit of a duffer when it comes to pc stuff was wondering what the cause/problem may be? any help would be great

You'd probably get a quicker answer to this if you post it in the iPod Touch forum. You'll find it here: Discussions - iPod Touch

Iphone will not email? I can recieve them but not send them.

Iphone will not email. I can receive emails but not send them

If you can receive them, but not sen, check your SMTP settings (which are used to send), not your POP3 or IMAP settings which are used to receive.

Mail not working for local users

I have sunOS 5.9 running on sun sparc
mail is not working on this system even for local users.
I have tried from the command prompt
mail username
Test email
^D
nothing happens after control D, I don't get command prompt.
I also tried
mail username
Test email
nothing happens
sendmail daemon is not running on this system but my understanding is that sendmail is not required. I need mail to work only for local users to receive emails for failed cron jobs etc, it is not required for this system to send or receive emails to/from outside world.
Can someone guide or point in right direction to fix mail functionlality for local users?

Actually, with recent versions of sendmail, you do need sendmail running to be able to send mail.
You never used to, but since they made sendmail no longer setuid root, you do.
Sendmail has essentially been split into 2 daemons a local queue runner with handles sending sent by local users.
And a listener daemon with listens for remote connections.
If you want to be able to send mails but not have sendmail listening, you have a couple of options.
You can either run only the local queue runner and not run the listener. In this case you have to configure the local queue runner to send mails onto a external mail host for processing. This requires editing /etc/mail/submit.cf
Alternately, you need to configure the local listener to only bind to the localhost port so it can't be contacted from external sources.
This requires editing sendmail.mc and regenerating a new sendmail.cf
I tend to favour the latter option as the former limits your ability to do things like local aliases of root: [email protected] to send all your root mail to a central account.
This is the sendmail.mc you will need
divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`@(#)main.mc 1.5 (Sun) 08/10/00')

Received iMessages on MacBook Pro but not on my iPhone.Thought iCloud would send them both places.

Installed Mountian Lion. iMessage works great but any incoming text go only to my MacBook and not to my iPhone.
Thought iCloud would spread things around.

HI,
The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
Two ways to do this.
Simplest is to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

Workflow task showing in sap inbox but not executable by some users

Hello Experts,
We have a workflow task that correctly show in the user inbox but is not executable by some users, we have two users with the same roles, and one is unable to execute the task when it is workflowed into his/her inbox. we have checked if this is an authorization issue and found nothing.
We debugged through program SAPLRHW1 under include LRHW1F02 subroutine READ_ORG_BUFFER, it imports TASK_INFO_BUFFER from the shared memory(see code below) and come back with a number of tasks that the system user can execute. We have task TS&&&&&&&& as a general task but some of the users cannot execute it.
Please advise of what could be the cause of this and the possible solution.
using shared memory
        IMPORT CREATION_DATE
               CREATION_TIME
               ORG_INFO_BUFFER
               TASK_INFO_BUFFER
                 FROM SHARED BUFFER INDX(RH) ID ACT_KEY.
regards,

Hi All,
I had experienced this type of problem as well, just to share it could be that the Identity of the Portal user misses a role which can be solved by any user assigning the identity in their identity management or it could also be the connection status of the UWL to the backend, there should be at least two connection statuses for workflow items to get into the UWL I could not recall it but I would post it here once I have the access to our system again.
Cheers,

Mac mail v. 8.2 can recieve email but not send

We just got set up for ATT Uverse. I tried to set up our email to come in on our Mac. I have done it automatically, manually, any way possible and tried everything at ATT website to no avail. I can receive emails but they won't send. I get the message "Cannot send message using the server smtp.mail.att.net:[email protected]" "The attempt to send data to the server "smtp.mail.att.net" failed. I tried connection doctor on mail and the ATT Yahoo!IMAP server is successful but the trying to log into the att.net SMTP account fails. Verify username and password are correct.I am ready to pull my hair out, please help!!

No guarantees, but try this, in order:
Mailbox > Take All Accounts Offline
Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online
Mailbox > Get All New Mail
Sometimes, it seems that Mail may lose contact with a mail server and not try to re-establish contact with it. So I'll have to perform the above to "encourage" Mail to re-check its surroundings.

My iphone can recieve email but not send, any ideas?

My new iphone will not send email but i can recieve them, i geta "cannot send email a copy was placen in you'r outbox the recipt was rejected buy the server" any ideas?

Did you already check the suggestions mentioned in this article?
iOS: Unable to send or receive email

Why can i only recieve iMessage but not regular text messages?

All today, my phone has not been delivering me my regular, green text messages from anyone. But my phone will deliver me my iMessages, blue texts from my friends with iPhones. A message did pop up saying that my SMS mailbox was full and that I needed to delete messages before my messages would be received, but I went through and deleted over 400 SMS messages and that usually does the trick and the undelivered messages pour in.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

My experience has been that the first step in figuring out SMS issues is to check with the cell provider and be sure nothing has changed with the account provisioning or with the provider. Once you've eliminated this, it's time to explore issues with the device or device OS.
