Email gets queued, but not sent until I login to my account on the server.

This is very strange. Let me explain.
1. Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2 running on an iMac.
2. I have the Mail Service running on the server. I can receive emails without problems.
3. Using my Snow Leopard Server email account, I attempt to send an email to another account (e.g. a mac.com email account).
4a. If I am actively logged into my Snow Leopard Server account *on the iMac* (e.g. via VNC, as long as my desktop is active), the email will arrive successfully. Here are the mail.log messages:
postfix/smtpd\[69030]: connect from \[External Host Address]
postfix/smtpd\[69030]: 942814AD55B: client=\[External Host Address], sasl_method=CRAM-MD5, sasl_username=MyUserName

postfix/qmgr\[65313]: C611B4AD568: removed
4b. If, however, my Snow Leopard Server account is either logged out, or even just "fast user switched" to the Login Window, the email gets queued, but not sent to the external email address. I get the following four messages in the mail.log file:
postfix/smtpd\[69030]: connect from \[External Host Address]
postfix/smtpd\[69030]: B5F574AD582: client=\[External Host Address], sasl_method=CRAM-MD5, sasl_username=MyUserName

postfix/qmgr\[65313]: B5F574AD582: from=<[email protected]>, size=604, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
4c. The instant I login to my machine at home (e.g. via VNC), the email finishes processing. The below messages are logged, and my external email account receives the email:
postfix/smtpd\[69160]: connect from localhost\[127.0.0.1]
postfix/smtpd\[69160]: 20B244AD5B0: client=localhost\[127.0.0.1]

I'm very much at a loss here. It's as if the act of logging out (or fast user switching to the Login Window) suspends some process that is required for my email to process. But .... why?
Any ideas? Any additional information I can provide to help figure this out? Fwiw, I used to run Tiger Server (never tried Leopard Server) and never had this problem.

Looks to me like the anti-virus scanner, amavis. The clue is the line:
postfix/smtp[69038]: 942814AD55B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1\[127.0.0.1\]:10024, delay=0.25, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0.14, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as C611B4AD568)
where the 10024 is the default port that Amavis runs on. Postfix is configured to pass mail through this port, and queues the mail until Amavis is available.
My guess, therefore, is that Amavis is set to run under your account rather than under the system, which is why it only runs when you're logged in. Off hand I have no idea how you managed this and that makes it hard to work out how to fix it. I'd start by looking for org.amavis.amavisd.plist in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons, /Library/LaunchDaemons and ~/Library/LaunchDaemons (it should be in the former, but if its in the latter that could explain it.

  • Email being received but not sent

    all of a sudden, my email stops sending (yet still receives). i get the following error message
    "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
    my email provider claims this is an Apple issue - having deleted and recreated email accounts
    the provider is blueyonder.co.uk
    ive tried different ports but they dont work either.

    How do you send them, presumably if you are complaining that they send OK with webmail you are using an email client, if so which one?
    What operating system does your computer use?
    Which email system are you on. Is it BTYahoo or BTMail? If you are not sure use this link.

  • I have not been able to verify my iCloud account as the verification has been sent to a previous email address no longer in use! How do I get iCloud to send verification email to my present email address?

    I have not been able to verify my iCloud account as the verification has been sent to a previous now defunct email address!  How do I get iCloud to send the verification email to my present email address?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • DAC Task are queued but not running

    Hi Everybody,
    Currently we are running the ETL for only Financials and there are 394 tasks in total out of which 285 have been completed successfully. At times some of the tasks would just get stuck on particular action. For e.g The analyze task after dimension population would remain in the queued status and would never switch to run mode. So we had to abort the ETL and restart it. This action resulted in successful completion of the previously queued task. Now for past two days the ETL is once again stuck (queued but not running).
    For e.g The following task is showing status of running
    51     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate     Running     2009-03-02 21:09:59.0                    DataWarehouse     DataWarehouse     SILOS          Update Slowly Changing Dimension     Informatica     0     0     -2     CUST R11 5 10
    But if I right click on the details
    I get this
    1     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate_Full     Running     2009-03-02 17:40:41.0     2009-03-02 21:09:09.0     3 hour(s), 28 min(s), 28 sec(s)     Verifying if workflow still running on Informatica Server 'Oracle_BI_DW_Server'.
    If still running will attach to the workflow.     DataWarehouse     Informatica     0          -2     0
    And the remaining detail tasks for this are in queued status.
    What could be the reason?
    Does it need the Infomartica workflow manager open? It is open currently open but must have been accidently closed in between.
    Informatica services have always been running.
    Thank you very much

    Hi
    This Sometime happens with DAC.We faced the same issue and had an SR open with Siebel for almost 2 weeks,they Couldnt help us out.
    Restart your DAC Server and Do a Dryrun and then run your full ETL .
    The Analyze task would not hang anymore.
    I dot have any logical reason why this happens,but i am guessing it has to do with some java heap memory.So restarting the Server would free up the memory.(i am guessing but not sure).
    But it Works.
    Try it
    Let me know if this helps
    Thanks

  • My o2 email will receive, but not send on my ipad

    My o2 email will receive, but not send. I've got other email accounts on the ipad &amp; they all work OK. The o2 mail account used to work properly, but I needed to remove the account &amp; since I've put it back on, it won't work on my ipad. Works ok on android mobile phone. I've checked the settings &amp; spoken to o2, but they couldn't solve! It may be since I've joined the cloud? Any advice, gratefully received. Thanks.

    Recheck the settings once again.  There is something wrong.  And it seems to happen to O2 people with some regularity.    Google o2 mail settings and you will get a page with the details.  Pay close attention to the port setting, you may need to change it on the pad, and that may be the problem.

    Welcome to the forum Oreckel!
    The best way to work with FCP's media files is to not overthink it. It's all done from the "Scratch Disk" settings. Just select a DRIVE for media captures and renders to go to. FCP handles the rest. It creates a folder called "Capture Scratch", another called "Renders" and a third called "Audio Renders". In each of these folders it creates a folder for each project file containing the media that is associated with that particular project, and it names these folders the same as your project files' names. Couldn't be easier.
    Autosave Vaults, Waveforms, and Thumbnails should be kept on your startup disk in your documents folder. You probably already have one there named "Final Cut Pro Documents" If it's there just select the Documents folder and FCP will put these three folders in the one named "Final Cut Pro Documents".

  • Hi, Can you help me I am running an iMac 10.7.5 and iPad 6.0.1 and a macair10.8.2. iCloud is syncing emails and notes but not photos. Photo streaming is switched on on the iMac. what do I need to do to stream photos?

    Hi, Can you help me I am running an iMac 10.7.5 and iPad 6.0.1 and a macair10.8.2. iCloud is syncing emails and notes but not photos. Photo streaming is switched on on the iMac. what do I need to do to stream photos?

    Hi you have basicly 2 Options.
    1 -if you Switch One fotostream on all 3 devices of yours which are working on the same apple id -all Fotos you Take with your iPad will be synchronized via icloud to the other 2 decvices ( w-lan and battery depending).
    2- If you select foots or a whole album in iPhoto on your air or iMac and choose than puplish --> fotostream --> new or existing event you can key in a friends mail. If this friend has iCloud and iPhoto ( for iMac or MacBook ) and click on the link in the email it will download this fotos in the fotostream section in iPhoto. If he has a iPad, iPhone,... It will do it in the foto app and if he doesn't have a iCloud account at all and you choose "public web site" while publishing he can see your fotostream on a website.

  • I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new passw

    I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

    having difficulty - via airplay --w/ streaming sites from ipad2 to g2 apple tv -- get audio but not video -- what gives???

    What site are you trying to watch?  I just tested 3.  The you tube app streams from the pad to apple tv fine, as long as the source video format is ok.  Checked a site called funny or die.com. Most of the videosmthere stream to apple tv fine.  A few have a different format, and do audio only.  Netflix does not stream at all, but you can get to netflix directly from apple tv.  Whether or not it streams is directly related to the format of the video.  Some do, some dont.

    Dear Pranay
    manual deployment can be done in two ways
    1. right click your dc in the studio ->Development Components->Deploy .
    before doing this , in your studio go to windows->preference->sap j2ee engine -> fill the message server host and message server port i.e on selecting deploy it will ask for password , enter sdm password and your ear file will be deployed.
    message server host --> host entry or IP address of the server to which you want to deploy and
    message server port - > ask the basis person to give the port or else you can check via
    http://serverhost:portno/index.html -- > click on system information --> it will prompt for user id and password .. fill the crendentials if you have and you will find the message port info in the top left corner. for more info refere the below link.
    http://scn.sap.com/thread/1443866 -- to get message server port go through this link
    2. you can take the ear file from your dc , in nwds studio open Navigator, expand the dc then dril down to gen->default->deploy -> here ear file will be available , copy the ear file and give that to your basis guys to deploy directly from SDM.
    or follow this link

  • I want signature in emails I originate, but not replies

    I want signature in emails I originate, but not replies.  How can I make this happen, please?
    Thanks.

    You can only set it to use for sending automatically, but you can't specify between new messages or replies. Don't see any way to change it.
    Just in case you don't know about this, you can have the Signautre Box available with new message or replies. If you don't have it showing, choose customize at the left bottom of the new message header window and check to show signature box.That makes it easy to add a signature or remove one, depending on how you have it set up.
