Configure Mail to use host name

Hi,
I'm trying to configure Mail on a Mac Mini Server. My problem is that I can't get the from email address to show correctly. The host name is demo.company.com, however email arrives with appleserver2.local (domain name). I've setup two accounts - administrator and user. When I send email from administrator to user it shows as coming form [email protected] - what I want it to show is [email protected]?
I found an article (http://serverfault.com/questions/55342/change-email-domain-os-x-server) which seemed to ask the same question. The accepted answer made some changes to the main.cf file:
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost $mydomain
After I made the changes I restarted the Mail service, but it didn't solve my problem. I even rebooted the server but no change.
Also, am I correct in thinking that a user's email address is configured using the Workgroup Manager under the Info tab?

I cannot recommend this, as I am not sure all the intergrations with other apps and databases would work properly, but see:

Are you sure this is worth it? My Mail folder is a long term archive, and I don't delete many messages. Yet it is less than 20 GB. Sounds like other apps and databases will overtake your space savings quickly.

X11vnc: cannot use host name in Windows

Hi, i cannot find my host name if i start x11vnc. It works if i write on Windows XP "Real VNC Viewer" IP adress. When i start x11vnc
The VNC desktop is: asus:0
But if i write to Real VNC Viewer "asus" or "asus:5900", it doesn't work but if i write "192.168.1.101" it works fine. I need find how i can use host name, because i have DHCP on router and IP address will be different. Please help, thanks

Well, that's to be expected with standard plastic routers, or can you ping your XP box by name, for example?
Look in your router interface if you can specify DHCP leases with fixed IPs, depending on MAC address.
And then specify hostnames for those IPs in /etc/hosts and c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

How do I force Mail to use contact names in Address Book?

I ~need~ Apple Mail to display sender names as I have them in Address Book. My students are Thai and have typed their sender names in Thai, so I can't recognise a thing. I've sorted all the names out in Address Book (in English) but Mail still displays sender names using the email default, rather than the names from Address Book.
• Upon receiving new mail however, the message's sender name ~WILL~ show up as the name put in Address Book. HOWEVER, after viewing the message the name reverts back to the one specified by the email author!! After that I can't get the name to show up as the Address Book name!
Is there a toggle somewhere? How do I force Mail to use the contact names from Address Book?

How to configure Mail to use different ports for POP and SMTP?

I am trying to configure Mail for my AT&T account. It requires me to configure POP (incoming) mail for port 995, and SMTP (outgoing) mail for port 465. However there doesn't seem to be an option to configure different ports for these. Is that correct, or am I missing something?
Alternatively can I configure two accounts, one for POP incoming and one for SMTP outgoing? My incoming POP account does work, but in configuring an outgoing account I still have to configure a POP server name and that will not work for the outgoing port.
Any advice on how to solve this would be appreciated.

Understand. It is really quite easy to do in Mail, too. Kappy told you how to set up the smtp piece. I gave you pop info. These two things are on different panels within Account Preferences.
To recap his and my posts
SMTP:
In Mail Prefs, click on the accounts icon. Click on your att yahoo account on the list. On the right of the window, in the lower portion, you see an smtp server menu. Open it and select edit. Select Edit Server, then click on its Advanced tab. Set up port 465 with SSL.
POP:
This is on a different panel in Mail PRefs Accounts. Now in Mail Prefs, click on the accounts icon. Click on your att yahoo account on the list. On the right of the window, you see three tabs, acc't info, mbox behaviors, and Advanced. This is where things are different than for smtp. You are going to configure stuff on a different "advanced" panel than where you were for the smtp stuff. Click on the advanced tab. There is a field for port with a SSL checkbox next to it and an authentication drop down menu. Check the box and it should quickfill change from 110 to 995. Autentication drop down is probably already default to password.
Did you visit the URL I gave you previously? It even gives you screen shots.

Webpage using host name without domain

Installed 10g successfully but when I try to naviagte the url is only using the computer host name without the domain. I keep getting the DNS_ERROR. If I manually append the domain in the webpage it works.
Installed on Solaris 10.

I doubt this has anything to do with Lion Server. it sounds more like the client settings.
Did you add your domain to the list of search domains (System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS).
This list is the list of domains the client will search when looking up a unqualified hostname. Add your domain to this list.

Configuration changes when the host name gets changed

hi,
Can you please let me know what I should change and where if I change my host name after installing EP NW'04?
Anything in Config tool and anything in DB?

My iMac can not see my mini Mac via Airport extreme using host name, only via IP address. What am I doing wrong ?

I have an iMac and a mini Mac attached to the same Airport extreme. It would appear that Bonjour works because I can see the hostname of the mini Mac server in Finder on the iMac.
But if I type in the host name (myminimac.private) in the Safari browser at the iMac it can not find the mini mac. However if I type in the IP address of the mini mac server it can see the see it.
It used to work but I must have done something to mess it up.
Anybody any suggestions ?

You have the wrong card. You need the original AirPort card for your G4.

Cannot DNS resolve across networks using host name only (not fqdn)

Evening all,
I currently run domain network (MS Server 08 - dhcp) on my firewall interface1 and WiFi network on interface2 (dhcp provided by router itself). On my Wifi dhcp I am advertising as DNS server that of the domain, but wifi clients can resolve only FQDN domain
client names not host names ("domainclient.domain.local" - not "domainclient").
If on my wifi client I change NIC properties -> IPV4->Advance->DNS-> append these suffixes, and put the domain.local, then it works but need to be able to work without manual changes to each client.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Argyris

Configuring Mail for using with an .me account alias?

I'm trying to configure Mail.app for my daughter (parental controlled new user)
I have an alias of my primary account and it works fine.
I would like to let her use Mail.app ONLY for that alias.
Without access to the main account, an inbox mailbox just for the alias and nothing else.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Without access to the main account, an inbox mailbox just for the alias and nothing else.
That's impossible. You need to set up a Family Pack subaccount if you want separate mailboxes.

Connecting to SMTP mail server using user name and password in java

Hi,
I am trying to send mail using SMTP server in java.
But my SMTP server only allows valid users to send mails. I need a way to pass my user name and password to my SMTP server.
How do I do this ?
Thank you

I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
I dont know why.

Hi,
I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
the result of my service.
If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
the server log trace from weblogic.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ganesh

Mail is using anothers name

For a couple of years, and different computers and operating system versions I have a unique problem i have been unable to solve. Some but not all emails I receive and send have anothers name attached, as sender, and receiver. The last name is the same, but the first name is my daughters, who has never been on my machines, but is in my address book, but not associated with my email address.
Case in point; Today i sent a newspaper article to myself, and on this MapBook Pro it came through as the sender and me as the receiver was her name. I went to my Mac Mini and the addressing was accurate for the newspaper article, how figure?

You could start by removing your deleted email. To do this, go to icloud.com from your computer, open your Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose Empty Trash. If you need to remove more, click on your mail folders, select the mail to delete, press your Delete Key, when done, empty the trash again.
