How can I filter alerts shown in the Server app?

In the time I've been running OS X Mavericks Server, the only alert to come up in the Server app's Alerts pane is "Virus detected in inbound email". That's about as surprising as finding that water is wet, so I'd like not to see those alerts. I don't want to turn off the email filtering, I just want don't want to hear about this one kind of event.
How can I filter the alerts in general or this one in particular?

Hi ephraimephraim
I dont know if you found a solutions, but I hit the same problem so here is what I worked out...
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Server/Mail/Config/amavisd
In there you will find a file called amavisd.conf
Make a backup copy of this just incase! Now open the file using TextWrangler (its free from here http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.html).
Now scroll down to line 119 and it will look like this:
#$virus_admin              = "[email protected]";  # notifications recip.
#$spam_admin               = '[email protected]';
#$spam_quarantine_to       = '[email protected]';
#$banned_quarantine_to      = '[email protected]';
#$virus_quarantine_to      = '[email protected]';
What I waneted to do was stop the useless "Virus detected in inbound email" emails and just send a copy of the emails to one account that I could keep an eye on, so this is what I did.
First deside on a alias to use, such as [email protected],
Now you can insert that like this virus-admin\@$mydomain its relly is important to add the \@$mydomain this resolves up the top of the file so it should now look like this
#$virus_admin              = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";  # notifications recip.
#$spam_admin               = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
#$spam_quarantine_to       = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
#$banned_quarantine_to      = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
#$virus_quarantine_to      = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
now delete the # notifications recip. after the virus_admin to stop the Virus Notifications, then I deleted the # before the spam_quarantine_to, banned_quarantine_to, virus_quarantine_to  this "turns on" the line and then add # notifications recip. after them, so you should end up with
#$virus_admin              = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";
#$spam_admin               = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";
$spam_quarantine_to       = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";  # notifications recip.
$banned_quarantine_to      = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";  # notifications recip.
$virus_quarantine_to      = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";  # notifications recip.
Now just create a user on the server called virus-admin of add it as an alias using Workgroup Manger.
Hope this helps

  • How can I transfer PDF books to the kindle app

    how can I transfer PDF books to the kindle app     

    There are many ways to import your PDFs into Papers for iPad. Obviously the preferred way is if you have a Mac and also use Papers for Mac**. The two apps can wirelessly sync their libraries. But also without a Mac there are plenty of ways. You can upload PDFs directly via iTunes, or you can import PDFs attached to an email from Mail on the iPad. Alternatively, use the Papers bookmarklet to open a webpage you found in Mobile Safari and download the PDF from there. Or you can use the built-in search engines to search for articles and download the PDFs.

  • Webmail is turned off. You can turn it on by using the Server app on the server.

    Not sure why this suddenly happened. Nothing has really changed on this server. The web IS on (hence receiving the message above) and I have "Enable PHP web applications" checked. Mail is routing fine. Just not sure why the webmail suddenly quit working. I ran the "/System/Library/ServerSetup/CommonExtras/PostgreSQLExtras/WebmailServerSetup.s h" and it completed but no luck. Is there a script to reset just the webmail?

    So, I've done some more digging. Thank you Apple, for thoughtfully providing documentation on your included software!  All you told me was that to enable webmail I had to check one box in the Server App.
    Sigh.
    Okay, rant off.  It's pretty obvious from the log entries I posted that both a user and a database are missing from postgres.  After some searching I found an INSTALL document, that says this:
    * PostgreSQL
    To use Roundcube with PostgreSQL support you have to follow these
    simple steps, which have to be done as the postgres system user (or
    which ever is the database superuser):
    $ createuser roundcube
    $ createdb -O roundcube -E UNICODE roundcubemail
    $ psql roundcubemail
    roundcubemail =# ALTER USER roundcube WITH PASSWORD 'the_new_password';
    roundcubemail =# \c - roundcube
    roundcubemail => \i SQL/postgres.initial.sql
    All this has been tested with PostgreSQL 8.x and 7.4.x. Older
    versions don't have a -O option for the createdb, so if you are
    using that version you'll have to change ownership of the DB later.
    Okay, good...except it doesn't tell me how to get to the $ prompt for entering the first set of commands.  On a hunch I tried just typing "postgres" at the command prompt and got this:
    postgres does not know where to find the server configuration file.
    You must specify the --config-file or -D invocation option or set the PGDATA environment variable.
    I Googled that whole section as my search item and about the only relevant thing I got was info on how to set one's environment variables--which I already know how to do. What I don't know is where this variable is supposed to point.
    Okay, I'm at my limit, I've run out of fingers to hold on various bullet points. Is there some clear, concise how-to on setting all this up that doesn't assume I already know half this stuff?

  • How can I save a file in the server?

    Hello,
    I am writing a Java Web Start program that it will generate a html file, how can I save the generated file in the server, fro example, the directory where I stored my JAR files. Because right now, it will create the html file in the local client mahcine instead of the server. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thanks you.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • How can I disable excel addin on the Server side?

    Hi, is there any way to disable excel addin on the server side?
    We want to disable it so that no one can modify or read data in the cube in the production environment, even if he or she had installed the add in. Instead, we provide the Planning data forms as the only interface for end-users to read and write. we do this because the add in is very easy to install and users can read and write data in the cube at their will.
    As we designed to keep the security filters simple, it is not a good idea to controll data access through security filters.
    so, what i'm asking is how to disable excel addin on the server side?
    Thank you for replying.

    Hi,
    As Gurus suggested, you will have to restrict viewing of data through dimension level security.
    Give access of members to users, only which are relevant to users so that they can't view other user's data/members.
    Like give access of members belonging to HR dept only to HR users and give access of Finance dept related members to finance users only.
    Hence HR users will view only HR relevant data and won't be able to view (read or write) finance related data and vice-sa-versa.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I import Chat history into the Messages.app?

    Okay so this is what I've done so far: I've freshly reinstalled Mac OS X 10.8.1 on my Mac and I've already copied the Messages Folder located in User/Library/Application Support, to the new one.
    The idea is to access all this history data in the Messages.app, but so far I haven't been lucky.
    When I'm chatting with people, the recent activity will be shown in the left column of the app but nothing from the past shows up, yet.
    Is there some way to import all the chats into Messages, so that I can see them all in a nice way instead of quick-looking them in the Finder?

    Hi,
    The "sync" between and iPhone (or other iOS device) and a Mac only works from the time both devices have the same details.
    Effectively this is the time that the iPhone has the Apple ID added to it's settings and the pop ups that appear on the Mac about the iPhone's details are accepted.
    The Sync  is then "Display on all devices" only.
    There is no catch up on existing threads on either device on the other.
    If you delete an iMessages or a conversation on one device the other is unaffected.

  • How can I shuffle my podcasts in the podcast app?

    I'm using iOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4s (it'll be a 5s on Saturday if I'm lucky). I'm also being forced to use the newest "Podcasts" app. I subscribe to a lot of podcasts, and prefer to shuffle them, rather than listen to them in alphabetical order. How can I do this? I had it figured out when I could use iTunes, but now that I can't, I'm stumped. So far I hate the Podcasts app…

    This topic is discussed quite a bit at this forum.  Here's one example: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7014127

  • When I delete domething on Mac Mail it automatically deletes it on my Yahoo server.  Why and how can I get it left on the server?

    When I delete something on Mac Mail it automatically is deleted on the Yahoo server.  Why and how can I stop this happening and leave it on the server?

    I believe that that is how IMAP accounts are designed to work, if you delete an email from a computer or device then it will be deleted from the server. If possible you could try setting up the account as a POP account in the Mail program and you should then get a 'remove copy from server' tickbox (which will need to be unticked) on the account's Advanced tab in Mail > Preferences.

  • TS1702 How can I find out which is the correct app to read a PDF on my iPhone 5?

    I purchased a PDF reader from the app store, but I still cannot read the file. When I try to download the file, it states that I need an updated version of PDF. I notice there are several PDF apps available, but I don't know which is the correct one. How can I find out the correct application I need?

    Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.

  • How can I redownload IMAP mails in the Mail App?

    I have a relatively slow internet connection over here in Malawi and it can cause problems with my Gmail IMAP account in the Mail App. Sometimes, emails will not download properly. It often happens with larger emails (where the email body itself is large, not necessarily because of attachments). I can get the message to redownload if I move it to another folder, but it's a hassle to do that every time. Is there any simple way to flag a message as needing to be downloaded again?
    Thanks!

  • How can I leave emails unread on the server even when I open it on iphone

    Hey,
    I adore the way iphone gets me all my emails at the instant they were sent. Only thing is I sometimes open the email just to check if it's something emergent, otherwise I prefer to read it at home on a PC.
    Is there anyway such that when you open the email on the iphone it's not "marked as read" on the gmail server for example ? Is there maybe a way you can get data from the server (reading the email) but not sending anything back (the act of turning it from unread email to read email) ?
    If not, then is there anyway such that you mark emails as important or any such thing using the iphone ?
    Thanks

    No, because the iPhone doesn't download the entire message from the server until you open it. The iPhone only downloads the header of the emails from the server and then once you open the email, it will communicate with the server and download the rest. Once that phase happens, the server marks the email as read.
    The only thing you can do, is mark each email as unread after you read it. You can do this from inside each individual email, Apple hasn't created a feature yet that will allow you to mark multiple emails at a time and mark them as read or unread.
