Group emails not forwarded to members

Since upgrading to Yosemite and Server 4 I am no longer receiving any emails sent to my groups, which have emails configured. The following are screenshots of the configuration (I believe it is configured correctly, as it was updated from Server 3):
I do believe emails are getting delivered, as I am not getting any bounce errors when sending from gmail or iCloud to these two addresses. However, I am not getting any notifications for the two members of this group.
Any thoughts what might be going on here or how I might troubleshoot this?

I haven't heard back from them, despite calling them back. I did speak with another tech a week or so ago, but he wasn't able to figure anything out either. Turns out the Enterprise Support team only helps troubleshoot the GUI, and they aren't allowed to do anything intrusive on the command line (apparently). However, I have been able to figure out that the mail queue is being help up by corrupt emails. I'm not sure what triggers this, but certain emails cause listserver to crash and restart. Those emails never get processed, and thus cause an endless loop of listserver restarting and pausing for 30 seconds until next restart, instead of processing. To get around this, I remove the oldest emails one by one until the queue is unclogged again.
These are the steps I take:
Open terminal, and cd into the listserver directory where the inbound list queues are:
cd /Library/Server/Mail/Data/listserver/messages/inbound/
Show a listing of the folders in the directory (the GUIDS for each group):
ls -la
Check the first number in front of the username of the folder in the output for the number of items contained within that directory. If the number is greater than 3, there are items stuck. Go into that directory now (you can type "cd " then the first 3 characters, then TAB to autocomplete), for example:
cd 1FDBZ1DB-9AAD-4A45-BCC7-92D87C5A1D19
Let's enter super user mode:
sudo su
Now list out all the messages, the first one will be the oldest:
ls -la
Let's create a new folder on the Desktop to temporarily store these "bad" messages:
mkdir /Users/serveradmin/Desktop/badmails
Then lets move the first email to that folder, for example:
mv 1416492706.772710.C6A2EEF49ED40002.msg /Users/serveradmin/Desktop/badmails/
Now lets restart listserver and see if it flushes out the queue:
killall list_server_mgr
Emails should now start flooding your inbox. If this is not the case, repeat steps 5 through 8 until successful.
Exit super user mode by typing:
exit
And close the terminal window.
Until they fix it, it appears we may be forced to check our group emails every so often to perform this tedious task. Let me know how it works for you.

I need to send group email and forward group email?

I need to send group emails and forward group emails and dont find that capability with ipad or iphone

There are quite a few group emailing apps available, but most will not allow you to forward an email, as they can only send new emails written within their own app.
MailShot Pro, uniquely, adds group email to your device so you can send to your groups directly from the standard Mail app. This allows you to forward an email, with any attachments intact, right from Mail.
Find out why quarter of a milllion users are now using our MailShot apps at jo.my/mailshot (iTunes link). A free version is also available to try, limited to a few small groups of contacts.

Email not forwarding from iCloud!

When I set my icloud email preferences to forward to another address, it is multiplying the messages 6x in my icloud inbox, and NOT forwarding them as indicated to the new address I have set. Why is that happening, and how can I fix it?

Yes it occurs on the Webmail interface.
Yes other devices... same result
No mail rules setup.
For those following... A solution was located in a google search:
Those having this problem, please use the Finder to open Home/Library/Mail and locate the file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Use Get Info to see when this file was last updated -- should be after the last time new messages were downloaded?
Quitting Mail and removing this file, and then relaunching Mail will result in a freshening of the file, if it has become corrupted, but will once more download everything still on the server. But hopefully for the last time.
Thanks BDAqua for your assistance!

Email Not Forwarding

Hello,
My iCloud accounts are not forwarding. Any ideas? You can forward to an outside domain. Correct?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. my ***@mac.com email isn't being forwarded to the email address I designate.

Why is group email not sending?

I created a group of 54 emails and neither the .Mac server nor my Earthlink server will allow my email to be sent.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot?
Thanks

When sending, if you open the Activity monitor in Mail, which apparently you have, you will a period in which it is in the process of connecting to the SMTP, followed by a period of Sending Data with % completed. Is the period of connecting quick and moves on to Sending data where it fails? If this is the scenario, then you may have an issue with MTU (maximum transmission unit) and packet size brought on either by something your ISP has changed, or by your Mac now sending bigger packets faster, until the connection times out trying to manage the transmission. See the following article about how to test if this is the problem -- also are you connected to a modem or router via ethernet, or to a wireless router via Airport?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303192
Let us know the result, and also how connected.

SharePoint 2010 email enabled groups do not deliver messages to group members

I configured my SP2010 farm to send and receive email propperly. How do I know this?
Because I receive alerts from SharePoint all the time.
Because I can email enable a library and I can send documents to it successfully
Because I can look at AD and see that the contacts have been created in the appropriate OU
So the problem is only with the SharePoint groups and corresponding AD Distribution List.
I can assign an email addres to a SharePoint group from the SP interface
I can verify that the Universal Group is created in AD as expected
BUT, email sent to the group email address is not sent to the members of the group. I also know this doesn't happen because the distribution list in AD has no members. If I add a member to it manually from the AD Computer and Users console then the
member get the message.
The bottom line is that SharePoint is not pupulating or updating the Distribution List in AD as it should.
I can rule out permissions because the the DL is created and the FARM Account and APP Pool account both have FULL Control over the OU where those contacts and Groups are created.
Does any one have a light to shed on this?
Thanks a lot,
Fernando

Great article here:
http://joyknows.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/sharepoint-alerts-not-working-for-group-recipients/
Unchecking “Require that all senders are authenticated” on the mail enabled group in Exchange Management Console, allowed Alerts to come through to AD groups using
SharePoint.
I struggled with this but the steps in the post resolved it for me.
Thanks.

Ideal way to report on Nested Groups and their Members - I can get the script to work if there's one group, but not if there is two or more

Hi All,
I like to keep track of Groups and Users added into our Domain Admins. Yes, it should always be minimal, but if I can have a daily report just to be certain, I'll sleep better.
The following works just fine if there is a single nested group. I cannot get it to work properly if there is more than one. I'm hoping you'll see what I'm missing.
Works fine:
$admins = get-adgroupmember "domain admins"
foreach($i in $admins){if($i.objectClass -eq "group"){ get-adgroupmember $i.samaccountname |foreach {New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $($i.name)}} | select username,group | export-csv c:\Users_and_Groups.csv -Notypeinformation}}
Does not work well. Result is that the "Group" information doesn't change to the correct group:
$myCol=@()
foreach($admin in $admins){if($admin.objectClass -eq "group"){$myCol+=$admin.samaccountname}{foreach($i in $myCol){get-adgroupmember $i | foreach {New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $($admin.name)}} | select username,group
| export-csv c:\Users_and_Groups.csv -Notypeinformation}}}
Here is what I have in $myCol:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> $myCol
MarketingPSO
RMSysAdmins
I tried shortening up the one-liner a bit more, but for some reason the "RMSysAdmins" is the only Group listed even though Leia and Han are in the MarketingPSO Group:
foreach($i in $myCol){get-adgroupmember $i | foreach {New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $($admin.name)}} | select username,group }
username
Group
Leia Organa
RMSysAdmins
Han Solo
RMSysAdmins
c3po
RMSysAdmins
Darth Vader
RMSysAdmins
Boba Fett
RMSysAdmins
Thank you very much for your time,
Mr Mister

Hi Mr Mister,
To get nested group members, this script is for your reference:
function Get-ADNestedGroupMembers {
[cmdletbinding()]
param ( [String] $Group )
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Members = Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group|sort-object objectClass -descending
$members | % {
if($_.ObjectClass -eq "group") {
Get-ADNestedGroupMembers -Group $_.samaccountname
} else {
New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $Group }}
Get-ADNestedGroupMembers "groupname"
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Anna Wang

Built in Approval workflow can't send to AD univeral security mail enabled group (email recipient not valid)

Background: SP2010 SP2 with March 2015 CU installed. Using the built-in Approval - SharePoint 2010 workflow on a library. The Approval workflow does send email to individual users when users are specified in the Approvers field instead of a group. We
need to use a group. The workflow reports the error email recipients are not valid. I don't see anything in ULS logs. The Exchange server tracking logs do not show the emails to the AD group being processed (no evidence they are even received into Exchange,
but all other mail from SharePoint goes through, including the workflow's email to the workflow initiator). I can send email to the AD group from Outlook and all group members get it.
To send Approval workflow email to a mail enabled AD Universal Security group, what
exactly are the requirements?
Q1. Does the SharePoint\system account (aka web app pool account) *absolutely* need to have a mailbox?
If so, I need some clarification. I saw
http://www.spdev.info/2012/11/using-security-groups-with-workflows.html which was offered as a solution in another post. It says "To allow SharePoint to email the mail enabled security group you need to either create a mailbox for the SharePoint service
account, or attach the email address provided in the Outbound Email Settings as an additional email alias for a mailbox." Then it says you need to do *both* - create a mailbox for service account *and* add the outbound email settings address as an alias
in the *service account's* mailbox settings. Well, we can't do the latter. We are using a dedicated AD account with a mailbox for SharePoint mail settings purposes, and no two mailboxes can have the same alias.
I tried adding the AD account specified in the Reply From: outbound email settings (Reply To: is set to a distribution list) to the AD group's "Message Delivery Restrictions" and UNchecking Require that all senders are authenticated (even
though the AD account does authenticate). I tried allowing All Senders and UNchecking Require authentication (though that leaves email address open to spammers), but neither worked.
Q2. Does the AD mail enabled group need to be synchronized via User Profile Sync?
We currently only sync users. I do see the AD groups (we use AD groups into SharePoint groups security model) in SharePoint's People and Groups, and the mail address for the mail enabled group is *not* present in the properties. Is it a requirement to sync
the AD groups so that the email address shows in the AD group's properties in SharePoint?
The AD group is in a SharePoint group with Approve permissions. The individual AD group members are also in another AD group in a SharePoint group with Contribute permissions. I even placed myself in the AD group to test whether permissions issues; I am
farm admin. All SharePoint groups are set to allow Everyone to read the group's members.
This is driving me crazy.
Thanks,
Joan

Hello Victoria,
Thank you. I have an update. I got the workflow working. Turned out to be two separate unrelated issues:
(1) invalid email address for recipient was because the email address of AD group was not present in SharePoint's properties for group. Also why nothing appeared in Exchange Server tracking logs; the email was never sent from SharePoint. Once this was remedied
(explained below), the Task Assigned email was sent out to the AD group.
(2) the Task Assigned email was rejected by Exchange for reason 550 5.7.1 RESOLVER.RST.AuthRequired. The Exchange tracking logs clearly showed this. Setting the AD group's properties Mail Flow Settings, Message Delivery Restrictions to "Only senders
in the following list: <the domain account of the email address specified in SharePoint outgoing email Reply From setting>" and UNchecking "Require that all senders are authenticated" allowed the Task Assigned email to go through.
Answer to Q1: It is not required for System account (aka web app pool account) to have a mailbox when the SharePoint outgoing mail settings Reply From email address is of a domain account of the domain SharePoint is in. That is our scenario, as I noted we
use a domain service account dedicated for SharePoint mail. I can't speak to other scenarios. The Reply To: does not have to be the same email address; we use a distribution list. And, ever paranoid about spamming because of unchecking require autenticated
senders, I verified that my own account could not send email to the group (Outlook provides message "You do not have permission to send to: <GroupName>").
Answer to Q2: I did not have to sync groups via User Profile Service. What I did do, however, was remove the AD group from SharePoint, People and Groups, Groups list, and readd it. (Note: what I *literally* did was was remove the SharePoint group from all
permissions, remove the AD group from the SharePoint group, then remove the AD group from the Groups list, readd the AD group into the SharePoint group, and reassign permissions to the SharePoint group - Read to top-level site, Read to subsite (has unique
permissions), and Read, Approve to the subsite library with the workflow. In order to start clean. When I readded the AD group to the SharePoint group, it came in with an email address; email address now shows in the group's SharePoint properties. I noticed
that the format was GroupName instead of Domain\GroupName. (I had originally created the AD group as a Global Security group, added it to a SharePoint group, *then* (after I found out about that requirement when first troubleshooting workflow) converted it
to Universal and mail enabled it.
I suppose, would syncing groups would fix this issue of SharePoint not updating AD group changes?
Additional note: I first gave the AD group Read to the library directly instead of giving Read to the SharePoint group, tried the workflow, and the email was sent. I then removed the AD group's direct permissions to the library and added the SharePoint group
to the library and that also worked. So I was able to use the AD group in SharePoint group (I had read in one post that would not work).
Thanks,
Joan

Thunderbird will not allow me to use a group email I have been using for months, why and how do I do it please?

I set up a group email for people that I send an email to at least once a month, I updated Thunderbird when the update came up and now when I have gone to send the email it has told me that it must be in the form of name@host, not my Groups name. How do I fix this problem without having to put each individual email address in each month

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).

Attachments in a group email sent from outlook 2007 do not show in the message

iPad doesn't show attachments in a group email sent from a Windows 7 PC using outlook 2007. Doesn't matter what the attachment is, if it is sent to a group created in Outlook the attachments do not come through. Is this a bug in iOS? My Google Nexus 4 phone handles the attachments just fine.

''Toad-Hall [[#answer-670403|said]]''
<blockquote>
Is the 'in the clear' bar code number part of an image, it may be not shown because it was remote content?
What happens if you read the email using 'PlainText view' ?
'View' > 'Message body as' > 'Plain text'
Do you have anti-virus software scanning emails?
If yes, then switch it off to see if it is effecting the emails when it downloads.

Thank you very much Toad-Hall. That is the information I needed. Perfect!

Since OES 11 SP2 computer members of groups are not shown in AD Users and Computers mmc snapin

I have several groups of computers in my DSfW Domain, They are mainly
used to apply different GPOs to different groups.
If you look via iManager or C1 at the properties of the groups you see
the computers, which are members of the groups on the membership and
security self equivalancy pages.
If you use the MS AD snapin the memberlist of the group shows not any
computer - but the computer(user) template shows, that the computer is
member of the groups in question. It seems as if the GPOs are applied
correctly using the group membership.
But the question remains, why are the computer members not shown in the
group template. They did show up there before OES 11SP2, so it seems
some attribute got lost or is not correctly interpreted on the AD side.

This might be the side-effect of some bug fix we did in oes11sp2, and will require deeper debugging. Please raise the SR with appropriate priority so that we give greater attention.

My Iphone 4, to which all my outlook email is forwarded to. is only receivng some of the emails but not all. It has worked beautifully in the past but no longer. What can I do to get all emails?

My Iphone 4, to which all my outlook email is forwarded to. is only receivng some of the emails but not all. It has worked beautifully in the past but no longer. What can I do to get all emails?

I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process. Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

My iPhone does not forward attachments with emails.

Make sure you open the email and fully download the attachments before trying to forward them. Large attachments are often only partially downloaded unless you tap the option to fully download the.

Using ios 7.0.4 can a group email be sent either from icloud or iPhone by a means other than selecting the individual Contact, ie; can the group be selected and then an email composed that will send the message to all group members.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the reply - I think I've sorted it though and there isn't actually an issue.
The whole group wasn't receiving the NDR, only the group manager which I setup a few weeks prior. This is a new feature so it complies with certain RFC's, basically the group manager will recieive the NDR to let them know there is a problem.
Something to do with mass mailing and unsolicited mail.
