Filemaker SMTP mail service setup

I am using Filemaker server on Snow Leopard and need to setup a SMTP server. I need to use SMTP to send emails form the Filemaker server. Does anyone know how to set this up on Snow Leopard for Filemaker server 11. Really could use the help.....

You don't need one. Just point it at the SMTP server provided by your service provider -- unless you are doing mass mailings and you rservice provider prohibits that, in which case there's a good chance that they may also block an SMTP server on your local host.
You can enable the Apple-provided SMTP server (postfix) on your local machine (though keep in mind that your sevice provider might see this as evidence of spamming and block it), simply enough.
Edit the file /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
The last line of the file is '</dict>'; add this before it:
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/>
... save the file and open Terminal. Type this:
sudo launchctl start org.postfix.master

Mail service setup basics

Dude!,
I have been searching and digging for days trying to understand this setup.
I purchased a mac mini with server software and trying to get mail services to work.
It should not be this hard! I have set up my dns for my local domain and doubled checked via terminal that my ip matches the name. I have mutiple doamins I would like to revcieve mail from on this server. All my users are the same on each domain. like, [email protected] and [email protected], ect.
In the general tab of mail services I set the following
domain name : mydomain.com
host name : mail.mydomain.com
in the advanced tab I checked include server daomain as local alias and added my other domain names like
myother.com
myother2.com
I then went to my mail client that I added the local email info,,
What should I use for the incoming mail?
Outgoing mail?
I have looked at mail services user guide, searched through tons of threads, googled everthing from smtp, dns, mail server setup, ect.
I am able however to manually set up a mail client and all works but that kinda defeats my reasoning of this server.
Is there a basic guide I can get that maybe clairifies the basic set issues?
I am sure I am not the only person having these issues?
Thanks

It should be this hard. It's actually quite simple once you take the time to ensure you have a fundamental understanding of numerous key concepts. Marketing for 10.6 server aside (a separate & interesting conversation), it's no more Apple's role to educate any would-be server administrator of these fundamentals than it is for Microsoft to do same with their product manuals, or for that matter Sun (Solaris) or RedHat...

SMTP - mail service

Hi,
i configured the SMTP for mail service.
I can able to send mail to our domain ( for ex: abc.com ) - default domain
i gave SMTP Connection as : mail.abc.com
the above scenario --- will work for me if i send mail to our default domain. but i am not able to send to yahoo, gmail.
Please help me ...
--- Lee

Hi Lee,
In the SCOT, SMTP node you need to have the SMTP server address. if you've given the sap server IP address, then revert it back.
What Juan has already mentioned,
"you need to make sure that the IP address of the SAP System is populated on the SMTP relay agent for the mails to leave the domain." that means you've to tell your SMTP mail admin guys to add the SAP server IP address in the relay agent.

Debasis.

SMTP Mail Service is not functioning

Using Breeze 5.1 with service pack 2, I cannot send e-mail
from the server. I know the SMTP server is working since it is
hosting other applications.
Is there anyway of troubleshooting SMTP e-mail issues?

We experienced something like this. Our SMTP server was only
sending messages to local accounts and not to other email addresss.
This was due to security measures in place that prevented non
authenticated mail being sent through the server. We had to use a
less secure SMTP set up to get it to work. The IT people set up a
trusted relationship between the too servers, but this is only a
workaround and not a solution.

Set up Mail service for SMTP only.

I wish to set up the Mail service to act as an smtp server only.
I have FileMaker Server running on this server, on which I am using a plug-in to send mail to my ISP's smtp server. But I am outgrowing my daily sending limits through my ISP (100/day), and would like to run my own smtp server instead.
I have turned on the smtp mail service and it is running, but I'm not sure what credentials I should use to authenticate when connecting to this smtp server...

I have turned on the smtp mail service and it is running, but I'm not sure what credentials I should use to authenticate when connecting to this smtp server...
Why use any?
If the Filemaker Server is inside your network and this server is just acting as a relay for outgoing mail then you don't need authentication at all. Just tell postfix to trust local networks ("Relay mail from the following networks" in Server Admin and add your internal addresses) and you're set.
Since the server won't be accepting mail from outside clients or servers that's all you need to do. There's no need to authenticate since the connection is coming from a trusted network.
If you still do want to use authentication then just provide any username/password combo that is valid for this server. You could even create a dummy account just for this purpose if you prefer.

Needed: Person who can help me set up mail service

Hi...I've been reading the forum for days and have been finding information in small bits and pieces...but I need someone who can help me put it all together. Basically, we are trying to move our mail server in-house. We have a better than T1 connection, I just need SOMEONE who can tell me exactly what we need to do to set up mail service on osx server 10.4.8 to work for us. Any takers?
I have enough knowledge to set up our web and file sharing services (very easy, no brainer stuff), but really I'm lost on the Mail Service setup.
Thanks!

Hi
I hope this thread is not resolved. Even if it is, this is my solution.
0.1. You must have a domain name pointing to your public IP
0.2. Your router (if you have one) must forward smtp, pop, and imap ports to the private IP adress of the sever
Server Admin
1. You must have DNS enable with your domain name configured. I presume that you know to.
2. Setup your mail service
in General
2.1. Activate POP
2.2. Acivate Imap (if you need)
2.3. Activate SMTP
2.4. Accept incoming mail
2.5. Retain outgoing mail
in filter
2.6. Set up as you need
in advanced->security
2.7. Set up aurhentifaction for smtp and pop.(important for smtp because you can be a spam relay)
in advanced->Hosting
2.8. add your domain name in localhost window
Users admin
3. Go to your users account (mail tab)
3.1 Activate mail
3.2 Choose receipt method.
I've followed this procedure 5 or 6 times and it's working fine every time.
Be carefull. In 10.4.8, something change in Imap service and the send of messages dont work. There is a little corrective to apply (a line to change in a config file but I do not remember what)
Sorry if the words are not exactly the same on you screen. I'm working on a french vs and my english is not very good.
Good luck

Mail service stuck starting in Mavericks

After installing Mavericks server I've got a problem with the mailserver. In the Server.app it keeps showing as starting, but it never starts.
the terminal command 'serveradmin fullstatus mail' shows that everything is started as it should, except the Mail Transfer Agent. It shows the error Warning: SMTP mail service is enabled but not running.
The command 'serveradmin start mailtransferagent' results in the error "CANNOT_LOAD_BUNDLE_ERR"
Console shows no helpfull messages except the obscure "serveradmin: posting dist not" right after entering the 'serveradmin start mailtransferagent' command.
Any idea how I can get the mail service to start?

It's sort of an upgraded system. The Mavericks installation is actually a fresh one, but data was then restored with TimeMachine from a previous 10.6 system. So old configs are a possibility.
Belowe is all that showed in the log. Besides some (IMHO) non critical permission warnings, there is nothing. The mailaccess.log was actually empty.

Error in the SMTP log of the mail service regarding "master.lock"

I am getting the following error in the SMTP log of the mail service, Anybody might have any suggestions:
postfix/master[87670]: fatal: open lock file /var/lib/postfix/master.lock: cannot open file: Permission denied.
The permissions of the master.lock file are as follows:
-rw------- 1 _postfix mail 33 Jul 7 10:25 master.lock
The Mail service stops after a few minutes from starting it
I appreciate your feedback

I found the problem.. the executable job was referring to a none existing batch file..
I have refreshed the database from production some time ago and the jobs I have setup are referring to production scripts and paths (which we didnt have on dev)..
This is now resolved.
Thanks

SMTP vs. external mail service

I need to use SMTP on our webserver to send mail via a web form. However, we use an external 3rd party mail service and when the webserver passes the message for a @mydom.tld user to SMTP (Postfix), it gets passed on to dovecot and dumped in a local mailbox on the server (if the user name corresponds i.e. [email protected] => user account 'miles'). If the usernames don't match, _www gets the bounce message in its local mailbox. IMAP and POP are disabled.
DNS MX records point to the external service (with servers at priority 0, 10 and 20).
What I want to happen is for the SMTP server to send the message to the MX servers (the third party service) instead of trying to deliver it itself.
Here's what the SMTP logs say:

Well, the big question is whether or not this server should accept mail for your domain, mydom.tld.
If it should, then this is appropriate - it sees a message for a domain that it's responsible for.
If, on the other hand, this server isn't responsible for your domain's mail then tell it so.
Right now you've told it that it SHOULD accept mail for mydom.tld:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mydom.tld, $mydomain
So any mail addressed to any user @mydom.tld is going to get delivered locally. If that's not what you want, remove mydom.tld from mydestination and the message will follow the normal SMTP/MX rules.

SMTP error from remote mail service

Yahoo mail service(SMTP & POP3) to browser

I think Yahoo mail service(SMTP & POP3) is open only to browser. Is it possible to interact with Yahoo mail service thru URL Programming means thru URL programming to send retrive mail and attachment ? If so then how ? Plz help! It's urgent.
Thanx & Regards,
Chanchal

Is it possible? Sure, it's possible, it's only software after all.
Has someone already done it? Not that I know of.
But then you already know that because you've already read
this FAQ entry, right?

Mail service on, SMTP on, but clients can't connect -- please help a novice

Hi all,
We use 10.4 Server on a G5 Xserve. A few days ago we had a problem with our server being used for spam. That was fixed quickly enough, but the problem is: while being fixed, the mail queue accumulated more and more mail, and it wasn't going out. The "retry" button didn't work. Repairing the database didn't work.
To make a long story shorter, after reading different things here and on the web, I managed to delete all the messages in the queue. All the users are still there. But now, when I turn the mail service back on, everyone gets a "can't connect" error.
I've used the terminal before, but I've always been following directions; I don't know what to type or why. But if someone with patience can help, I can follow directions, and would really appreciate the help. Right now I'm dead in the water.

OK, I've already admitted that I know nothing about this, so I'm sure this will give some people some laughs. That's OK, so the only thing I've changed was the name of the company. I have more peace of mind knowing I'm not showing who's got problems. The other thing is that I don't know when my part of the history begins. Maybe it's all me, but I don't remember doing anything even remotely close to changing IPs. So here it is:

Mail server setup question

i am setting up a mac pro with the leopard server. After 3 reinstallations of the os i keep reaching the same situation. Once i have setup mail services the mails can only be relayed within the local lan and mail sent via smtp can go to the internet. Mails forwarded to the ip/subdomain however do not arrive.
the dns & mx has been setup as the mail services pdf indicates. on the domain side a subdomain has been created with mx but of a lower priority than the main domain mx.
www.casinomalindi.com is the domain and the mx are mail.casinomalindi.com & mld.casinomalindi.com
kindly assist.
regards

Sorry for the delay in response. The server is at a remote site.
Sending mail is OK and receipients are receiving mails ok. The problem is in receiving mail from external sources. e.g. if i send mail from gmail i get the following:

Mail service in windows2003 server

i have old server has windows 2003 server
i want to apply mails through this server
and i did that but my question
how can i connect between external mail and internal mail
how can i create distribute list
how can i backup mails

Hi Alaa,
The Windows 2003 email service is just a IIS component for email relay\routing SMTP service. You can't have distribution list or backup emails as such. (You need to use Exchange Server for those premium features and control). Its just a SMTP Gateway service.
Typically, the following folder is the queue folder, which can be backedup if you like to:
%SystemDrive%\inetpub\mailroot\queue
SMTP Server Setup (IIS 6.0)
(SMTP) service provided by IIS is a simple component for delivering outgoing
e-mail messages. Delivery of a message is initiated by transferring the message
to a designated SMTP server. Based on the domain name of the recipient e-mail
address, the SMTP server initiates communications with a Domain Name System
(DNS) server, which looks up and then returns the host name of the destination
SMTP server for that domain.
Next, the originating SMTP server communicates with the destination SMTP
server directly through Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
on port 25. If the user name of the recipient e-mail address matches one of the
authorized user accounts on the destination server, the original e-mail message
is transferred to that server, waiting for the recipient to pick up the message
through a client program.
In the case where the originating SMTP server cannot communicate directly
with the destination server, the SMTP service can transfer messages through one
or more intermediate relay SMTP servers. A relay server receives the original
message and then delivers it to the destination server, or redirects it to
another relay server. This process is repeated until the message is delivered or
a designated timeout period passes.
