Gmail checks if you have a valid hostname (ie. an existing DNS record) and if that's not the case it drops the connection. It's a simple anti-spam measure, I use it on my postfix-based mail server too.
You should adjust your postfix configuration and even better use domain masquerade and relay your mails through your ISP's smtp server. Search google (irony ) for HOW-TOs.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Can I get iCal to respond to Google Calendar invitations?

Ever since MobileMe forced everyone to switch to the new CalDAV calendars, iCal.app stopped responding to iCalendar (ICS) invitations that I receive via email from Google Calendar users. Here's what's happening:
I receive a Google Calendar email, open it in Mail.app, and double-click on the ICS email file attachment.
Mail passes the ICS to iCal.app, which automatically creates a new calendar entry. However, the only choice I have for the new even under the "NOTIFICATIONS" side pane in iCal is an "OK" button. (Prior to the MobileMe Calendar update, I could accept or decline a meeting from the Notifications pane.)
I can open the meeting in iCal to reveal "Maybe", "Decline", and "Accept" buttons, but—for example—choosing the Accept button doesn't send an iCalendar email response back to the meeting organizer. The fact that I just accepted the event is also not reflected in iCal. Furthermore, iCal doesn't let me edit or add a new alarm to the event.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions for how to restore the old behavior!
P.S. Here are links to two other calendaring issues that cropped up since the MobileMe change:
How do I set the meeting organizer email address for the new CalDAV calendar?
Can I get Google to recognize my iCal invitations?

I have the same problem and it is not limited to Google Calendar invitations. Very frustrating! I can't find a solution anywhere other than replying to the invite message manually ... very poor workaround.

Can't get Postfix Mail working - can you help?

Hi - I've been trying to get Postfix mail working on my Mac Mini (running Moutain Lion v10.8.3). I need to use it to send Mail from PHP ..
I followed the instructions I found here:
http://benjaminrojas.net/configuring-postfix-to-send-mail-from-mac-os-x-mountain -lion/
I've tried setting up the outgoing mail via smtp.gmail.com and also my ISP mail (@ mailout.easymail.ca). I edited the SASL_passwd file and /etc/postfix/main.cf files accordingly ..
I then use the following command to test sending of mail:
date | mail -s test <myemailaddress>@gmail.com
I don't receive any email. When I check the mail queue with this command:
tail -f /var/log/mail.log
I get this:
May 11 14:19:06 <server>.flonsolutions.com postfix/cleanup[4077]: warning: F14632CCF23C: recipient_canonical_maps map lookup problem for <myemailaddress>@gmail.com

I also checked the instructions found here:
http://blog.deversus.com/2012/07/fix-for-postfix-in-mac-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion/
without success
Anyone got some hints on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot if you can help!

I have a User Tip for setting up mail in Mountain Lion: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4161
However, it is designed for local mail. It would not work out of the box with gmail. You would have to configure local mail to route mail externally. I have done it, but not lately.
OS X Server has its own e-mail system. I tried to set it up once but found it easier to do it myself. That is when I wrote that User Tip. I can't help with Server, but the User Tip will be sufficient to deliver and check mail local to your machine. That should be adequate for sending mail from a local PHP-driven development site. You don't want to do production web work on your local machine anyway.

How can I get Apple to send the invoice of one of my orders?

I ordered a MacBook Air 13 at apple store online but I haven't get the invoice of the product. How can I ask apple to send it to me?
Thank you,
Luiza

Thank you for your response, Dominic. I'm in Brazil now and unfortunately I'm not able to call the 1-800 number. There is another problem, I can't solve this by viewing my order online, as I haven't inserted my apple ID to the order ...it doesn't allow me to print the invoice or do anything else about it...
Do you know if there's any online support that I can contact?
Thank you again!

I can't get two of my mail programs to send mail. They send from the ipad with the same settings as the mail program. Is there something different between the ipad and the air mail programs that would make it different?

One thing you can do is find out from Sky Broadband if the SMTP server requires authentication or not and what port the SMTP server uses.

Imap problems - can't get it into "send folder" on...

1) I have read through these boards and could not find a solution.
is it possible to get the nokia messenger ( my case N86) to put the email in sent folder and sync it with the server.
It works in my 2010 outlook, but not on my n86. i only keeps the sent items on a local sent map on n86
somebody get it to work?

You are limited on what you can do with a device of that nature. You might consider bypassing your router (if possible) and connecting the device directly to your modem then power cycling both it and your modem. Sometimes those devices can be stubborn and will not pull an IP address. If you can't get away from using your router temporarily/permanently you might consider either resetting the router to factory defaults or setting up a DHCP reservation in the router (if the option exists). This would be an area in your router where you supply a static IP address and the MAC address off the base station into the settings of your router. This way the next time your router and base station are rebooted it will be assigned the address you assigned it. You can then see if you can ping that IP address from your computer to test for connectivity.
Example of a DHCP reservation option (called Static DHCP in this example)

How can i get thunderbird to send incoming gif files to google chrome?

The default for processing incoming gif files is to send them to Microsoft Internet Explorer. I don't use IE, but I do use Google Chrome. However there is no option for sending incoming gif files to Google Chrome in the Use Others popup, and I can't determine where Google Chrome is located so I can't find in when I press Browse.

A gif file is an image file, so you can just set it to open using a suitable program like Windows Photo Gallery, but it only shows a gif image. If the gif is animated then it will not show as animated. So, MS try to force you to use IE as I believe if you have Win7 or 8, MS did not provide any of the older eg: vista programs for seeing 'animated' gifs (I do not have those OS, so if I'm wrong..sorry)
You could download and use this program:
'''http://www.irfanview.com/'''
If you really want to use a browser for this instead:
Try browsing for it under:
C:/ Users > Your user name > Appdata > Local > Google > Chrome > Application > chrome.exe

Can't get postfix aliases to work from /etc/aliases

Ugh. Things were going so well. I just needed to set up a few quick mailing lists and I could open the server for testing, but I can't seem to get aliases to work. This is my first go at postfix, so it's possible I'm misunderstanding aliases at a fundamental level here...
Here's what I want to do-- I want to have messages sent to one address ([email protected]) delivered to multple addresses ([email protected]) and ([email protected]). domainname.tld is the hostname of my server machine.
I've created an alias of this form:
baz: [email protected], [email protected]
I started by putting it in '/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/mailing_list_aliases', but when that didn't work, I moved it to /etc/aliases, and when that didn't work I simplified the alias to:
baz: [email protected]
I've done newaliases without error, and a postfix reload though I'm not sure that second one is necessary.
Originally, I was getting the messages bounced saying that [email protected] is unknown in the local recipient table. Now with the single address mapping in the /etc/aliases file, it's telling me that [email protected], mapped from [email protected], is "user unknown". (Ok, there was probably a more grammatically correct way to form that sentence...).
In Mail, [email protected] is recognized and made a hot link, which creates a message to that address when I click it. If I send that message, it's delivered without a problem.
I've run out of ideas, and internet research turned up a solution yet-- which probably means I really don't know what question to ask.

New developments:
I got this working thanks to Jaydisc's comment elsewhere:
"All of this is doable by manipulating postfix underneatht the hood. I haven't seen what file Mountain Lion specifically creates when you turn on virtual hosting, but traditionally these kind of mappings are stored in /etc/postfix/virtual. You need to postmap the file after making changes and restart postfix.
Jonathan, mailman is seemingly no longer included in OS X Server whicih would ahve been perfect. That means you need to manually build your list in /etc/postfix/virtual or install a 3rd party solution as far as I'm aware. In /etc/postfix/virtual, you could so something like:
[email protected] [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
Levin, you don't want to do a catch-all, but if you insist, assuming it's with a virtual domain, you'd put in
@domein.com [email protected]
When done, run:
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
postfix reload
Do all of this as root or using the sudo command. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably shouldn't do it."
I edited /etc/postfix/virtual via the command line, like:
sudo nano /etc/postfix/virtual
And add the group and the users like in the example above.
This was new for me, but in order to get my own mailing lists working together with Prevent mail server spoofing I had to remove mailman and use the option you desired instead I'm happy you asked for more!

Mutt and msmtp - I just can't get mutt to send

Hello all, I have been battling with this for some time, I hope you can help.
I have been running arch for several years now and thought I might start using mutt. I have installed the version from the AUR with the side bar patch (version 1.5.21) and have it retrieving my email from an email server that I run.
I initially tried to use mutt's new in built SNMP functionality but couldn't get it to work with my server. My server uses TLS/SSL plain text auth but is listening on a non standard port.
My .muttrc is as follows
#muttrc by martin thanks to brisbin
set realname = "Martin"
set imap_user = "[email protected]"
set imap_pass = "somepassword"
set folder=imaps://mymailserver.com:8993/
set spoolfile=+INBOX
set record=imaps://mail.mymailserver.com/Sent
set imap_check_subscribed
set certificate_file = ~/.mutt/cert_file # where to store certs
set mailcap_path = ~/.mutt/mailcap # entrys for filetypes
source ~/.mutt/colours
set from="[email protected]"
set sendmail = "/usr/bin/msmtp"
set ssl_verify_host = no
set ssl_verify_dates = no
set use_from=yes
#set envelope_from=yes
# main options
set beep_new # terminal bell on new message
unset confirmappend # don't ask, just do
set delete # don't ask, just do
set mail_check = 0 # minimum time between scans
unset markers # no ugly plus signs
unset mark_old # read/new is good enough for me
set menu_scroll # scroll in menus
set pager_index_lines = 10 # number of index lines to show
set pager_context = 5 # number of context lines to show
set pager_stop # don't go to next message automatically
set pipe_decode # strip headers and eval mimes when piping
set reverse_alias # show names from alias file in index
#set sort = threads # like gmail
#set sort_aux = reverse-last-date-received # like gmail
#unset sort_re # always thread
set thorough_search # strip headers and eval mimes before searching
set thread_received # sort threads by date received, not sent
set tilde # show tildes like in vim
set timeout = 3 # idle time before scanning
unset wait_key # don't show "Press any key to continue"
unset resolve # stops attachjments being downloaded
# sidebar settings
set sidebar_visible = yes
set sidebar_width = 25
set sidebar_delim = '|'
set status_format = "-%r- %v ------+----/ %f %m%?n? [+%n]?%?d? [-%d]?%?t? [*%t]? /%?p?---/ %p waiting to send /?-%>-(%P)---"
# colors

My .msmtprc file is as follows (which I have sodt linked the /etc/msmtprc just incase....
account home
host mail.mymailserver.com
port 8465
protocol smtp
logfile /home/martin/.newmsmtp.log
auth plain
user [email protected]
from [email protected]
tls on
tls_certcheck off
tls_starttls off
tls_force_sslv3 on
account default : home
I have confirmed the path to msmpt and have confirmed it is getting passed to mutt ok by using the "set: sendmail" command.
If I try sending in mutt it errors out with an SSL error but this error never seems to change regardless of what I do to the msmtprc, in fact if I delete the password field in the msmtprs mutt doesn't even ask for the password (I have tried it with and without passwords in the msmptrc - no change. The precise error message when trying to send from mutt that shows down the bottom of the terminal is
SSL failed: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
This would explain thing but, if I send a test email direct from the CLI using msmtp eg
echo "Please prevent me from throwing this against the wall" | msmtp -a home [email protected]
it sends OK and asks me for the password when I send as well.
I'm at my wits end and have spent numerous hours o it in an effort to get it working. There must be something simple I am missing. Anyone's help is appreciated.

Good evening all.
