Fetching and relaying mails to a third party email server

Hi All,
I have an existing email server sitting in the DMZ handling my company domain ([email protected]). I have installed OCS on the internal network. I want al my users to use OCS with the same email address they use on the existing email server ([email protected]).
For this purpose, the smtp outbound server on oracle email relays to the mail server sitting in the DMZ. This works fine.
However, I also want inbound emails coming to the external mail server to be delivered to Oracle mail server. I am using fetchmail for that. The fetchmail daemon does a pop on the external mail server and smtp to the oracle email server.
The problem is that is goes into a loop. When I get an inbound email on the external email server, it gets fetched (via fetchmail) and smtp to my OCS account. However, the OCS outbound SMTP server immediately relays it again to the external email server. And this results in a continuis loop.
I have searched the internet and this forum for a solution. There was some mention about sending the fetched emails from the external server to OCS mail via IMAP-Append rather than SMTP. However, I have no idea how to enable that on fetchmail (or if that works on OCS).
Has anyone faced a similar problem or has some soluiton to this issue.
Thanks for the help.

My client wants to keep their externally hosted (highly available) mail server.
They want OCS internally.
They want the external mail server to be the recognised MX host.
They want OCS to pull mail from the external server, or the mail to be pushed (if there is a guarantee of delivery).
Thanks

  • Port 25/587 and third-party email account

    Like many who have posted notes about the Port change and third-party email accounts, I have read everything related to these changes and still cannot figure out how to adjust my settings so that I can send email from my third-party email account. In June, I switched to Verizon DSL from a cable service, which was very slow. "Slow" is now looking a lot more appealing than not being able to send email through my third-party account.
    I have a Verizon email account, which I use with friends and family. I have another account that I have had for over ten years. I used the latter account as my only account for many years and that is the email address on my business cards. I will continue to use the third-party account as my business account, so hopefully someone can walk me through the change process so I don't need to switch providers.
    I use Outlook for all my email. What do I need to change so that I can continue to use Verizon to send all my emails?
    My POP3 settings include User Information (my name as it appears to recipients and my email address), Logon Information (user name and password), and Server Information (Incoming mail server [POP3] and Outgoing mail server [SMTP]).
    What should appear in each of these so I can send email from my third-party account? Let's say my third-party email address is [email protected] User information is then my name and my email address ([email protected]). Logon information is then what? My abc.net user name and password? My verizon.net user name and password? Some combination of these? How about the Server information? Is my POP3 relay.abc.net or incoming.verizon.net? (I think it's the former for incoming.) Is my SMTP relay.abc.net on Port 587? Is it outgoing.verizon.net on Port 25? Something else?
    I know this is long, but I have really tried to follow all the instructions Verizon gives and I still cannot send email from my abc.net account.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It really depends on whether your 3rd-party provider allows port 587 to be used. If they have a different alternate port you should be able to use that also. Verizon is *only* blocking port 25. Port 587 is just the default "other" SMTP port, so it's the alternate port for most providers, but not all. If you cannot get these settings to work, your other option is to set up Verizon for your outgoing server.
    For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up  your fictional account. Using "[email protected]" as the 3rd party address and "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
    The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
    Incoming Server: relay.abc.net (or whatever your 3rd party server is) - For this server you set up everything according to your domain's settings.
    Reply Address: [email protected]
    Outgoing Server: outgoing.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes
    Username: fakeacct
    Password: fakepassword
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): No
    Port: 25 (although 587 also works.)
    These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the outgoing server name is: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
    Hope this helps. If you still have questions, please let me know.

    Tech Learner

    Hi,
    As I understand, you are using SharePoint 2013 integrating with third party SMTP server which provides email function.
    From SharePoint side, I'd suggest you refer to the link below to configure email integration:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee956941(v=office.15).aspx
    If you have already confirm that message is sent from SharePoint, while stuck in queue on SMTP server, then the issue might be related to relay on SMTP server. Since the issue is related to third party product, we do not have enough resource here,
    I'd recommend you contact their support engineer for more assistance:
    https://support.godaddy.com/help/category/154/email

  • Help!!! Entourage 08' At&t Uverse Third Party Email Setup

    I have a macbook and use Entourage 08' for my emails. I started a new job today and am trying to add my new work email address to entourage. I have tried everything, read every forum, and even my IT guy at work cannot figure it out. I can use either POP or IMAP and would prefer IMAP. How do I set up this new third party email because I have Uverse as my internet provider and do not want to pay the Techconnect fees? In the meantime, I am being forced to use webmail. Any thoughts or help at all?

    AT&T U-Verse (uverse), as of July 2014, requires that you verify your non-AT&T mail accounts before they allow you to send outgoing non-AT&T mail.
    Here's how to verify your non-AT&T mail accounts and link them to your AT&T U-verse account
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22291865
    Log into your AT&T U-verse webmail att.net email account (e.g. Yahoo mail)  
    > click the gear at upper right of screen next to your name
    Navigate to Settings > Accounts > Add
    Add your non-AT&T mail accounts/  Enter info they require
    U-verse will send a verification email to those mail accounts.
    After you reply and verify your identity, you will be able to send outgoing email for those accounts via Mail, so long
    as you have Mail configured.

  • Third party email setup

    ice successfully setup a third party email account on my iPhone(IMAP),but my phone can only receive mail. Whenever I try to send an email, it says that connection to the outside server(send.Columbia.edu) has failed. Any idwas as to why my ipjone is having trouble connecting to the outside server?
    On a side note, is there an easy way to check how many txt msgs youve sent?

    If you are connecting via AT&T EDGE, the connection will seem to come from an outside network. Your outgoing mail server may be rejecting your attempts to use it from outside its network.
    You can use cwmx.com (no ID, no password) as the outgoing server. This will work whenever you are using EDGE to connect. However, this connection will not work if you connect to the internet using WiFi. AT&T's outgoing mail server does not allow you to connect to it from outside its network.
    You can also get a free GMail ID and use their outgoing server information. GMail's outgoing server works from both EDGE and any WiFi network. You will need to add you personal email ID as an authorized "Sent From" ID in the Settings section of the GMail web interface, and use the "Other" mail account shortcut on the iPhone to configure your account. You can specify your IMAP server as the incoming mail server and the GMail SMTP server as the outgoing server.

  • How do I use Thunderbird to send third-party email through Verizon SMTP?

    What exact settings do I need to select in Thunderbird for outgoing email in order send email? I have a third-party email address, not Yahoo or Verizon.
    Based on other posts, I have set:
    server name: outgoing.verizon.net
    port: 587
    CHECKED 'use name and password'
    username: entered verizon username
    use secure connection: 'no'
    When I try to send email, I get prompted for password multiple times, then ultimately get "Send Message Error" - 'Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server outgoing.verizon.net failed...'

    Your verizon.net password is not necessarily the same as your .com password. I have downloaded Thunderbird and tested send/receive using the verizon.net outgoing server and it works just fine, so it is something in the settings you are using.

    Hi Yong,
    Yes that's possible. You can use the web interface to configure logging category messages so that they are sent to remote syslog server targets
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/logging.html#wp1052741
    ACS provides these preconfigured global ACS logging categories, to which you can assign log targets.

  • For third party email users

    AKA anything that isn't @verizon.net (ie @hotmail.com, @juno.com)
    Verizon is blocking port 25, please check: http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/General+Support/Top+Questions/QuestionsOne/124274...
    Reason:  Most common email viruses are sent using port 25 to infect computers. Often times the user never knows their computer has been infected. In order to protect our customers, Verizon has turned off the ability to send email using port 25 for all users other than those using a @verizon.net email address.
    They give some step by step instructions for anyone who are using a third party email here:  http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup+And+Use/QuestionsOne/124333.htm
    Just an FYI if your non Verizon email suddenly stops working in outlook, macmail etc.  Simply change the outgoing smtp port from 25 to 587.  You won't notice any difference.
    Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up if you didn't know about this.

    I have a non-verizon email account, and must run everything through the verizon server.  I have changed the smtp port to 587, I have it marked to authenticate. The outgoing server is smtp.vzwmail.net    I still cannot send email.  I can receive, but not send.  Can anyone help?

  • How can I force the close of a third party ActiveX server.

    We have a third party ActiveX executable that refuses to shut itself down once in a while. And when I say once in a while, I mean one out of every 20-30 times it's attempted. All termination commands are being sent and recieved properly, and all refnums are being closed. No errors are ever generated, all operations report successful, but the thing just won't die. Problem is of course, that if we attempt to restart our software after the ActiveX app fails to terminate, it generates server execution errors when trying to open a new instance. We are not expecting a speedy resolution from the third party, but it is becoming a great inconvenience for our customers. I would like to be able to kill the process thro
    ugh the OS as a last resort. Problem is, to do that I need a ProcID. Is there any way to retrieve a ProcID for the ActiveX server through LabVIEW? Alternatives and suggestions are welcome.

    Hello codeman,
    Thank you for your inquiry regarding closing a third party ActiveX server. It sounds like the third party application is having trouble closing. There are several Windows Utility VIs available that could help in this case. One of the Utility VIs is called Get Window Refnum and should return an instance of a Windows window. The following links are great resources when dealing with this issue.
