Email forwarding in Yosemite Server

Hello,
I am having some serious issues with google classifying mail that I send to gmail users as spam. I was able successfully to remove my domains from google's block list when sending directly to a gmail user by implementing SPF and DKIM. However, any mail forwarded to gmail users is still being blocked and I am worried that all of my mail will soon get blocked as well.
If anyone has any tips on how to avoid forwarded messages being classified as spam by google, I would be grateful.
Things I have done/tried:
Implement SPF and DKIM for each domain on my server
Contact google
Stop forwarding by addresses know to receive lots of messages
Turned on Blacklist filtering
One thing I am not sure about is whether forwarded emails are signed by my server. I assume they are but if that is the case, I am not sure why directly sending to gmail clients works and forwarding does not.

Everything that I describe above is necessary to attempt when you are having this problem. But I did not do anything more and eventually google did stop blocking our email. Needless to say it may take some time—like a week or more. My best advice, apart from the above, is to try and avoid forwarding until you stop seeing rejected messages of any kind. Oddly, for us blocked messages were account specific for a time before the rejections stopped completely. Anyway, at that point you should start trying to forward and see if you get any rejections.

Email forwarding on ML Server

One of my clients wants to forward a specific email account to himself . I set the forwarding option in the user's email settings in the User panel in ML Server's Server application; however, nothing is being forwarded. Is this feature broken in the Server.app interface? Is there another way of setting it?
Thanks,
Des

Make sure the client's domain is listed under "Provide Mail For" in the Mail section of Server.app, then it should work.

Delayed inbound email between Sonicwall ES300 and Yosemite server

I currently have a setup consisting of a Yosemite email server with a Sonicwall ES300 as a relay.
Under moderate to heavy email traffic, I've been noticing that inbound emails (from the ES300 to the Yosemite server) begin to queue up on the ES300 with the message of ECONNRESET. This queue will sometimes rise as high as 200 emails and will eventually all clear out at once (sometimes after an hour or so). Email will flow correctly for a short period before the queue will begin to build again. This does not affect outbound or internal email. During times of low email usage (weekends), emails are rarely queued.
I've experienced this issue as well with an older server running 10.6. I'm not sure wether this is something that needs to be corrected on the Yosemite server or the ES300.
I'm curious if anyone has experienced similar issues. Is there something within main.cf or master.cf that could be rate limiting the IP of the ES300? If this is the case, it would have to be something in the default configuration since I haven't configured anything out of the ordinary. My other theory is that this could be due to high CPU usage on the ES300 causing connection issues.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The web interface System Status page for the SonicWall will show CPU usage so you can see if it is running high. You can also on newer models go to the Diagnostics page and run the Multi-Core monitor to see a real time chart of CPU usage.
Some systems will impose a delay on connections if they 'decide' that the connections are suspicious e.g. possible spam or hacking attacks. You could temporarily as a test try disabling any anti-spam or anti-spoofing features you may currently have enabled. Apple's OS X also has a software firewall which can do much the same thing. See the following.
OS X Server: About the Firewall service - Apple Support
OS X Server: How to enable the adaptive firewall - Apple Support
Other than that, your SonicWall should be covered by a support/extended warranty agreement, this would allow you to contact SonicWall directly for support. They can then with your permission look at your SonicWall logs to provide you assistance.

Config OES/sendmail to forward email from/to Exchange Server

Hi
I have installed an OES on a Red Hat ES 3.
But on my network i have a Exchange Server that send/receive all emails. And i cannot change here nothing(company rules). Now what i need to do? I need to config the Linux sendmail to relay on the Exchange Server(the exchange is now configured relay on Linux) to forward the emails that i need.
I only need this to one email account e.g [email protected] The Oracle Email Server is running, but i need to config the Linux to forward the email to the Exchange Server, and go to outside. Also i need that receiving an email to [email protected] that my Linux receive this email from the Exchange Server.
I have configured the sendmail.cf like Oracle says on the Administrator’s Guide manual. I have add the ip and name of the Exchange on /etc/mail/access to relay. But still i cant send emails outside. If i test the sendmail -v testuser, and all says ok. I have tested telnet domain 25, and all went ok.
I think the only problem is forward the oes to exchange to forward outside
Any help
Many thanks
Thank you
Jail

Hi andreas
Yes i also think that it maybe resolved by an alias and forwarding
Th COM is the domain in the OES is the com default. Is this domain that you referring?
The company domain that is in the OES(e.g xpto.com) is the same that is in the Exchange. Do you think this will be a problem? Must i create one like oes.xpto.com? To work with the OES?
I have created a relay on the access file, but is this ok? Or must i need change anything else? Mean while i will check that url
And yes i can connect to the Exchange on port 25 from the RH
Since i have several user/account created on the OES, the only think that i did not understand yet is how can they receive any email?
The fax@domain was a example. But i can collect all outside emails from that account and with some rules forward to any other OES account? I think this is possible? Or this is the hard way to configure the OES?
Thank You

Can log into Yosemite server (4.0) VPN service with a Mavericks client, but not Yosemite client

Sever Info:
Yosemite Server 4.0 running on a late 2009 Mac Mini with 8 GB RAM with vpnd service enabled
The server was upgraded to Yosemite - not clean install - this may not matter (see below)
Airport extreme router with standard VPN UDP ports for L2TP forwarded to server (500, 1701, 4500)
Client info:
MB Air 13" early 2014 with 8 GB RAM
Yosemite
Mavericks 10.9.5 running as a Parallels virtual machine (don't ask - I need it to run an app for work that is not yet compatible with Yosemite)
OD service is NOT running - no VPN connections ever occurred from ANY client with this service running - OD is not needed in my case fortunately
With the OD service off, I can connect via the Mavericks virtual machine just fine, but not with Yosemite. With Yosemite, the ppp connection appears to occur, but server config requests appear to fall on deaf ears (client side doesn't appear to respond) until the connection times out. Can't figure out what triggers the client response to a server config request. Client side complains about no route to host and IP addresses don't get assigned to the connection.
The connection happens successfully in an eyeblink with the Mavericks client. Same username/password/shared secret in both instances.
Tried a generated .vpnconfig from the server, this also did not work.
It's possible that it is an auth problem, but can't figure out how the process occurs or what may be going wrong. There does not seem to be an obvious way to increase the granularity of the logging such that it might give other hints - at least that I can find. I found plenty of references to VPN issues when people upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks as well as work arounds for this. I tried the most promising looking of those - no love. I reverted everything back to stock install since I could at least connect with Mavericks.
If log entries would be helpful, they are included below. I've stared at them long enough - perhaps a new set of eyes can provide a hint.
In addition, I can find no documentation regarding the VPN service in Yosemite server so as to get a clue as to whether there have been changes in racoon since Mavericks.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I would be glad to supply any other info needed for an accurate diagnosis .

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app? I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server. I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
Good luck!

Yosemite Server: Apache shm errors with proxy_balancer | SASL errors using user alias

Dear OSX Server Ninjas,
I recently upgraded my 10.9.5 Mac mini running Server 3.2.2 to Yosemite + Server v4, directly to v4.0.3. The box serves the whole Mail/Cal/Contacts/VPN palette as well as some websites, Git repos and some custom software. See below for network setup.
After battling the most blatant issues (some easy to fix but hard to find, others hard on both), I'm almost back to a working server setup … but some things keep bugging me even after days of log-reading and OD tricks. In the last days, I have read countless discussions here as well as on stackoverflow/serverfault/apple.stackexchange and blogs, so I'll try to be as thorough and precise as possible to show what I have tried so far – sorry in advance for the long post
… and since you might not read to the bottom: Thanks in advance for any help, especially with the Apache problem!
My setup
OSX Server v4.0.3 running on Yosemite 10.10.1 ➞ both latest official releases
host + DNS
Hostname configured for public domain mydomain.net, web traffic on selected ports comes in through router NAT
Server has a static IP on the local subnet 192.168.178.0/24
Server running local DNS and performing lookups for all clients in the local subnet, forwarding to the router at 192.168.178.1
Primary zone for mydomain.net with records (A, NS, MX) pointing to said static IP
changeip -checkhostname is successful
Public IP is currently configured at the domain registrar through his name servers
SSL
Trusted third-party certificate installed for host.mydomain.net (Common Name + SAN for two subdomains)
Used to secure all services
Qualys SSL Test Grade B (capped due to OSX's openssl 0.9.x not being capable of TLS1.2 and Intermediate CA SHA-1 )
TLS working both inbound and outbound according to CheckTLS.com
OpenDirectory
Recreated after upgrade (probably not necessary, since issue persists), re-imported groups + users from WGM backup files
Only the server itself is bound to the directory, other devices just access services through network accounts (CRAM-MD5, MD5-Digest)
Problems
Apache shm errors: Apache fails to create slot memory when proxy module is enabled
As soon as I start a service which requires the Apache proxy_balancer module (e.g. Cal/Contacts, ProfileManager), this starts filling up my Apache's error log:
[Mon Jan 12 01:41:17.979882 2015] [proxy_balancer:emerg] [pid 2949] (28)No space left on device: AH01179: balancer slotmem_create failed for p26d9e669--1011640492

[Mon Jan 12 01:41:28.297127 2015] [slotmem_shm:error] [pid 3026] (28)No space left on device: AH02611: create: apr_shm_create(/private/var/run/slotmem-shm-p26d9e669--1001322955.shm) failed
[Mon Jan 12 01:41:28.297347 2015] [proxy_balancer:emerg] [pid 3026] (28)No space left on device: AH01179: balancer slotmem_create failed for p26d9e669--1001322955
[Mon Jan 12 01:41:28.297355 2015] [:emerg] [pid 3026] AH00020: Configuration Failed, exiting
When I increase the Apache LogLevel to trace1, I get this as well:
[Mon Jan 12 02:11:43.190303 2015] [slotmem_shm:debug] [pid 5501] mod_slotmem_shm.c(367): AH02602: create didn't find /private/var/run/slotmem-shm-p26d9e669-813569972.shm in global list
This causes the Apache to crash constantly, which is … unnerving. After googling around for a while, I tried the following steps:
Stop Services that use the Apache (Web, *DAV, ProfileManager)
sudo apachectl stop
Remove all orphan cache/slot files (.shm, ssl-cache, proxy.*) from /private/var/run
Reboot the server
Start up the Services again
Curiously enough, this worked for a while! But I was getting several log messages about dropped proxy connections, and sometimes the ProfileManager page would time out. Then, the issue started to reappear and does not seem to be fixed again with the steps above. I looked through the Apache config files and config plists for the Services in question, as well as the default config files. The only thing I have so far is that as long as there are no active proxy connections, the Apache runs smoothly – but all goes awry when slotmem files are created (a lot of them). Sometimes, I am able to turn on the Calendar service, but switching on Contacts produces the error … one time, I even got Calendar + Contacts running, and all went well until I enabled Profile Manager.
I found several error reports with similar or identical errors from other Apache 2.4.x users, but most of those were developer talk on mailing lists, or suggested steps that did not work for me (or were inapplicable on the OS X Server Apache environment).
SASL errors using user alias for WebDAV-Digest authentication
Short version: I am unable to authenticate through WebDAV-Digest with a user's alias (defined in Server Admin > Users > Context Menu > Advanced Options or WGM). Using the main short name of the same user works flawlessly. Password Server Error log just shows:
AUTH2: {234023578237md5hash2384234, mainshortname} WEBDAV-DIGEST authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect).
The password is 100% correct: When I set up a test CalDAV account and put in alias+PW, it did not work (OS X Dialog showed “could not be verified”, Server log as above). Leaving the password field filled and just switching the user to the main short name went through instantaneously, with the Server log showing
AUTH2: {234023578237md5hash2384234, mainshortname} WEBDAV-DIGEST authentication succeeded.
Notice the same MD5 hash and canonical short name, yet different results. I don't know if this is a new “feature”, a result of mail aliases being handled differently (at least I read that somewhere) …
Additional Questions
Should I configure the DNS for public use, instead of the Split-Brain configuration (local network gets local IP, outside traffic is directed by registrar NS)? I read several articles explaining that Split-Brain is common in large organizations, but might introduce weird networking issues. Entering the external IP as a Round Robin alternative for the internal does not seem sensible to me.
I also have a question concerning LDAP log entries like this one below, but I'll put that in this already open discussion:
=> bdb_idl_delete_key: c_get failed: DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK: Locker killed to resolve a deadlock (-30994)

Today the same error occurred on a customers server.
We don't use Calendar or Contacts.
We only have some websites configured and want use NetInstall for deployments.
As soon as I disable the Profilemanager the httpd starts over and other websites and NetInstall via HTTP are working fine.
When I reenable Profilemanager the httpd processes are gone and I see the same stuff in Apache's error log...

How do I tell Firefox to leave email messages on the server when my Tools Options doesn't show Account Settings?

I am trying to get my emails forwarded to my Blackberry. I have set up my Blackberry with the new email destination, which Blackberry confirmed. I receive the emails are not being forwarded to my phone. When I consulted Blackberry's help, it said that I needed to go into my server setting and select the option to leave email messages on the server. I work in Firefox, and when I look under Tools, there is no option to do this.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

How to move all emails from mailbox to an external email account in Exchange Server 2007?

I have a user who is leaving the university in a few days. The user would like to forward all of their old emails from their mailbox to their G-mail account. Will setting up email forwarding forward all of the old emails to the G-mail account or just the
new emails that are received after setting up email forwarding? If forwarding isn't the correct solution; then what is? We are running Exchange Server 2007.

No, as you've suspected the forwarding will only affect new messages coming into the mailbox, not existing ones. Additionally, if you did get all existing messages to forward to another account (you could probably do it by creating a rule in Outlook) then
the gmail account would show every single one of them as arriving now, and lose their existing send date.
Probably a better option would be to export the mailbox to .pst, and then assuming the user has their gmail account configured in Outlook somewhere as something other than POP3 they can then open the .pst file on their machine and copy the messages over
to their gmail account, which I think would also preserve the original information.
You could do that via the server using Export-Mailbox as described here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb266964(v=exchg.80).aspx (note it has to be run from a 32-bit OS with the Exchange Management tools installed), or the user could just as easily do it themselves from within Outlook using the Export option.

Yosemite Server Mail GSSAPI Error

Since upgrading client machines to Yosemite, connecting to mac mini server running Yosemite (server v4), I'm seeing this error in the client main log file:
22/10/2014 12:43:56.579 Mail[7452]: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text (No credentials cache file found (negative cache))
22/10/2014 12:43:56.579 Mail[7452]: Failed to start the SASL connection
SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text (No credentials cache file found (negative cache))
Has anyone else seen this or have any thoughts as how to proceed? Thanks a lot for any pointers in the right direction.
(ps mail is being sent and received)

Hi,
maybe it helps or not, I solve a other performance problem which is more related to the mailbox speed but this error on client side is gone afterwards:
In Yosemite there is still also a problem with the automatic settings detection in Mail.
That means that the application try's to find a working authentication mechanism in combination with different ports and encryption.
So far so good, this feature would be okay but the application never stops to do that. So we are shortly connected but the connection becomes invalid again.
This leads to performance issues and the application becomes very slow!
If you refer your client log file maybe you can see some "Failed to start the SASL connection" issues (coming from Mail.app).
In case that you are running a OS X Server which is used by Mail you will see in /var/log/mail* /Library/Logs/mail* various login failures. In case that you have enabled the Adaptive Firewall it can be happen that your IP is blocked for 15 minutes.
Of course this must not be a issue for everyone I believe it strongly depends on your email server / provider which auth. stuff is supported or enabled.
To solve it:
1.) Open the Mail Preferences
2.) Goto "Accounts" and select your Provider/Account
3.) Klick Enhanced (the last right tab)
4.) Disable the automatic settings detection (first checkbox)
5.) In case you didn't enable "MailDrop"
This works in Mail 8.1 on Yosemite 10.10.1

Yosemite Server: After upgrade, OD is read-only

Hello,
yesterday, I upgraded my server installation to Yosemite and Server 4.0. Although it seemed that everything went fine, a severe problem turned out.
Symptoms:
I cannot login to network accounts from other machines, although Directory Services show the right content for each user. Assumption: Kerberos authentication fails for unknown reason.
Then, I discovered that OD on the Yosemite Server shows all Users and Groups, but I cannot edit any of them; any "change password" or similar context menu options are grayed out.
I had the "fix permissions" run and reboot, but without any effect.
As it seems, the /Library/Server path content is considered as read-only for the Server app; this impression is supported by the RADIUS service: When keying "radiusd -X", this is the result:
Starting - reading configuration files ...
including configuration file /Library/Server/radius/raddb/radiusd.conf
Unable to open file "/Library/Server/radius/raddb/radiusd.conf": Permission denied
Errors reading or parsing /Library/Server/radius/raddb/radiusd.conf
Any idea how to fix this? I'm not the hardcore sysadmin, so I'd appreciate any kind of help...
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Hardy

Addition: I just found out that a login request from a client to the read-only OD leads to these system protocol entries:

Email forwarded from iphone to gmail addresses contain only gibberish

All email forwarded to a gmail address from my iphone using my work email account comes thru as gibberish. Work email is going thru exchange server using 2003 server. Any idea on what is setup wrong? Only emails which I forward have that problem and only to gmail recipients.

Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

EMAIL forwarding details.

Hi. how can we get detail about from which date/time email forwarding is enabled for a user in exchange 2007 server.

Thank you, appreciate your quick response. If you find anything related to this at any point of time, kindly update me. As its very imp issue to me. :)
Not in Exchange 2007. Exchange 2010 has Admin Audit Log that keeps the track of anything changed in last 90 days by default when Exchange is installed...

Could be the DNS as Lync Davis writes but to elaborate somewhat:
It's not enough to have the DNS in the server itself. At a standard setup that will only be used by the server to find itself. Senders must also be able to look up the mail server's full domain name which means that you must have those records in a public DNS server so that clients sending mail can look up the server. Local clients might get settings via DHCP to use it as DNS server and if it's accessible from Internet on port 53 it could be used as a public DNS server (set in the settings for you domain at the registrar, by them or yourself).
