Group Mail (BCC)
Prior to installing snow leopard I would be able to just click on my "group" email addresses in my address book and send it into BCC and one address into the To box. That worked well. Now when I click on the group mail address the first name in the group is highlighted and when I try to put the group into BCC only the first name that is highlighted goes into BCC. Following me so far? Now if I highlight all the names in the group and click on BCC they all go into the BCC box which works. How can I prevent the highlighting of one email in the group list? Every time I open the group list one name is highlighted, and it doesn't have to be the first name on the list either. And why should any in the group of addresses be highlighted in the first place? I can't unhighlight the one email. If the one address wasn't highlighted I would be able to just click on "Group" and all addresses would go into BCC. I hope I detailed this okay.
Thanks for a reply.
I think that this is a straightforward bug with Snow Leopard. I use groups on a daily basis to email folk. Prior to SL everything worked fine. Now when I choose a group only the first name in the group is added to the mail message.
I hope Apple sort this soon.

MAIL: Can send group addresses Bcc
I have Bcc activated and when I try to put Group addresses in the Bcc area they won't go but immediately go to the "To" area. Can't get Group addresses in "Bcc" address area. Thanks.
*Hi paul, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
In the "To" Box put yourself.
You should be able to put the Group in BCC then.
Good Luck, JP -
in address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc like I could on my 2007 macbook pro. What do I need to do?
The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

Is it possible to install an SMTP proxy that will handle splitting group mail?
I am running OS X 10.9.3 with Server 3.1.2 on a Mac-Mini Mid-2012. I learned on my last implementation of OS X 10.9.3 that Mavericks sometimes has issues with handling group mail. As I rebuild my network, I am wondering if it is possible to install a SMTP proxy that can receive, process, then forward mail on to the primary mail server.
For example, if mail is sent to a group account, this SMTP proxy would repackage the message as a message to a carbon copy list of all the group members, but if the mail is sent to a user account, the mail is forwarded unmodified. Like this:
As an alternative to this, I would also be interested a solution in which the Linux Mail Server referenced the Open Directory for account information, including password authentication, so that if a user in the Mac Network updates his password, that he can use the same password to access his mail on a webmail client or via the Mail.app.
This is a callout for discussion points, ideas and recommendations. There is no problem here to fix necessarily.I am not aware of a tool to do the group splitting for you, this is normally the responsibility of the mail server itself.
However with regards to your second query, a lot of people use a product called Kerio Connect instead of Apple's Mail server. Kerio can run on the same Mac server but in general is a far more powerful mail server. It does include the ability to authenticate user accounts against Open Directory.
There is one issue you need to be aware of, like nearly all mail servers it uses the 'username' as the main email address, so if you want an email account of [email protected] then your Open Directory short name need to be jsmith, if you want your email address to be [email protected] then your user short name needs to be john.doe and so on.
Note: While I have specifically talked about Kerio most other mail server including those for Linux would be able to link to Open Directory via LDAP and authenticate email accounts. The same link between email address and short name would usually apply. -
How to create a group mailing list in JavaMail?
Hello,
I've been searching through the entire API, specifically the InternetAddress class and I can't seem to find out how to create a group/mailing list. Does anyone know how to do this?
That is, I would like to be able to group a bunch of e-mail addresses together and give that group a name "my friends". Then send it off using this 'group mail address' as opposed to an array of InternetAddress[]. Then when the recipients receive the e-mail, they see "my friends" in the To: field, instead of everyone's e-mail address...
Is this possible in JavaMail? I've tried many things like creating an InternetAddress object passing in a comma-delimited list of e-mail addresses but it doesn't like it.
Thanks in advance!Hi:
I have the same problem. I've read JavaMail implements RFC 822 which allow mailing lists. But, �how can I implement it with JavaMail?
Best regards,
Fabio Galarraga. -

I dont receive e-mails with attachment sent to OS X Server 3.0.1 Group-mailing lists
I have a small company using a mac mini with mavericks and server 3.0.1.
We are using most of the services available in OS X server (except DHCP, Netinstall and Xsan). One of the services we use the most is Mail server, and the whole company uses that as our primary mail server.
We have set up several different Groups and activated group-mailing lists on some of them. The setup has been working very good for over a year (started using it with Mountain Lion Server).
Recently I was going to send a christmas card to all employees using the workgroup mailing list. I was using the stationaries in Mail, and it was sent as normal but never recieved by me or any of the other employees. Below is the SMTP Log
Dec 6 17:10:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: connect from unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*]

I did some trial and error and it seems like it is linked to the fact that I have attachments to the email. Sending an email with only text is recieved like normal. Even attacment like PDF or jpg is "blocked" it seems. I have tried using email outside my domain but still the same result. Sending the same email (with attachment) to all reciepients (not using the mailiing list) works and is recieved by everyone. I have turned off all email filtering settings on the server but still the same result.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? My guess is that this is a Server 3.0.1 hickup, so it would be nice to get confirmation from others experiencing the same.Troubleshooting Apple Mail

Hi all,
We have a report prgm that will send a mail to SCOT to lotus notes.
In lotus notes, we have a group mail (Example: SAP_TEAM). How we can send mails to the lotus notes group...?
Thanks,
J Kumar.Hi Jitendra,
In SBWP you need to create a Distribution List to whom the mail has to be sent and in your program pass the Distribution list name with type 'B' in the receiver list of your mail sending program then all the members of that Distribution List will receive the mail.
Hope this is what you were expecting for.
Thanks,

Automator w/ Group Mailer Truncating Messages
I am attempting to send out an email to every person in my Address Book who has an email. I created a smart group in Address Book and am using that to send my messages. I am going to be getting married and I would like to announce the dates when those are set. I am also having a child and would love to email everyone when it's time.
I can get the people I need to get. The problem is the mail message gets shorter and shorter every time a new message is created eg:
To:[email protected]
Body: "Hey guess what.... Blah Blah Blah"
To:[email protected]
Body: " guess what.... Blah Blah Blah"
To:[email protected]
Body:" lah Blah"
My workflow looks like this:
1. New Message
2. Find People whose group = has email
3. Group Mailer
4. Send MessageNot sure why you would need to use Automator. Why not just send a single email out using the group as the addressee and hide the addresses?
To send emails to a group and hide group member names and addresses when sending a message to a group created in Address Book do the following.
1. Open Mail and choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" and close Mail Preferences.
Then when you send an email to a group, only the group name will be seen. -
All names appear in the group mails. They didn't before.
I used to be able to send group mail with just the title of the group appearing in the "To" window. Now, all the names in the group have to be there or it won't go out. Sometimes I don't want the names there.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Did not get it resolved.

Hi
I am trying to set up a workflow to simply send the same email newsletter to a group in the address book.
The workflow looks like this:
New mail message
Find groups in Address Book
Group Mailer
Send outgoing messages
Everything works until the Group mailer stage. The messages are created with the correct addresses and text but Group mailer encounters an error: AppleEvent handler failed. (430531728)
This seemingly simple, time saving task is turning out to be neither.
Anyone help?
Thanks
Chrisit's a known bug in the Group mailer action. i don't know any workaround, sorry. the bug has been fixed in Snow leopard.

Automator Group mail but no attachment
Hi All,
Trying to send out a group mail with an attachment.
The group mailer is working fine except that the attachment is not being added to the group mail generated messages (only to the first message)
The message is otherwise fine
My workflow is as follows:
New Mail Message (Mail) Options: Show action when run: checked
Ask For Finder Items (Finder) Prompt: "Choose Mail Attachments", Allow Multiple Selection: checked
Add Attachments to Front Message
Get Specified Address Book Items (Address Book) Options: Show this action when the workflow runs: checked
Group Mailer (Address Book) Add Greeting: checked (optional)
Send Outgoing Messages (Mail)
Please help!
Thanks

Using Group Mail - Automator Performs Unwanted Step
Here is an interesting side effect...
I've got an automator action that I've saved as an application to e-mail to a small group of people. The actions perform perfectly except for one small problem. Whenever I run the app the system goes through its process and then after all the mail is sent my address book gets wiped clean.
Anyone ever have this happen? What did you do to resolve the problem?
I learned to backup my address book so it isn't a problem restoring it. But this seems completely unnecessary.
Any feedback that helps solve the problem would be great.
Thank you,
Joseph
Work Flow is as follows:
1 - New Mail Message (Message is Composed; with no addresses specified)
2 - Find People In Address Book (Setup to find people in a Group)
3 - Group Mailer (Add Greeting Checked)
4 - Send Outgoing Message
5 - Ask for Confirmation (Set to ask if I want to run the Work Flow again)
6 - Run Work Flow (Set to Run this Same Work Flow again from the beggining)I've just run through the workflow and sure enough it ate the group that I'd selected. After playing around with it some it looks as though the problem as to do with the order of steps 4 and 5 -
Change it to the following and it should work fine:
4- Ask for Confirmation message (set to +Ignore Results from Previous Action+)
5- Send Outgoing Message (set to +Ignore Results from Previous Action+)
I didn't use step 6 -
Group Mail, Mailman and archives
Im confused. I have a mailman list I want to migrate to Leopard Server. Id like to let the listers have a wiki. Ive set up the group, and the wiki and I see it. (i have other problems with that but ignoring them for the minute)
Will poste to my mailman list be the mail archive?
If so can I migrate my old archive somewhere to make sure the old data is still searchable.
Or, is a mailman list completely separate from a group mailing list.
Like I said. Im confused.
If this is all explained somewhere please point me. Ive looked for doc and searched - probably not enough.
thanks
AngusHi
"It seems that group mail introduced in previous Snow Leopard Server, it's gone. There is mailman, but I don't need a mailing list , just a simple mail grooup functionality. It's impossible to do in Lion Server?"
Actually Group e-mailing was available in previous versions of the Server. It's not impossible to do in Lion Server either. It's just not obvious if you want to use the interface. There's not much documentation regarding this either.
These two threads (you could have searched this for yourself) should have the information you need:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3518290?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3229060?start=0&tstart=0
There's also a way of doing this using WorkGroup Manager's Info Tab.
You should get into the habit of using the command line on OS X Server - the Terminal application in /Applications/Utilities - as this is the most effective way for you to get what you want, especially with the Mail Service.
The other Server Administration applications (which you may not be aware of?) are available for free download here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1488
You will need Server Admin to initially configure the Mail Service properly. As ever remember to set up DNS Services correctly as everything you want or may want will depend on it.
