How do I set up the SMTP server on Lion

Hello
I want to use my OS X Lion server to send mail only (I use Rumpus FTP - which needs a SMTP server so that it can send notification emails)
Is this possible to do with OS X Lion Server? If so - how?
Server is set up and running nicely, with DNS etc all running.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hello Camelot
Thank you for your reply.
Is there a way of testing for sure that SMTP is set up and running, using say telnet??
I've turned on mail and entered my server domain name, port 25 into the email settings of my Rumpus client (so that it can send notification emails - it also happens to be running on the same server, so I tried localhost and 127.0.0.1 as well but no sucess.
I have not entered authentication credentials, but turned off authentication using Server Admin.
Thanks again
Andrew

How to find out about the SMTP Server

Hi,
I have been trying to configure groupware in the portal - in particular I want to enable the sending of emails through the portal. I already have a how-to-guide that that seems to explain the steps quite well. However, it mentions that I need to know the SMTP Server of the email. Can you tell me how to find out about the SMTP Server? Where do I need to look for the name of it?
Thank you and regards,
Katharina

Hi Katharina,
you need the SMTP server of your company. This means you can't look for it in the portal, but have to ask the responsible person in your company.
Kind regards,
dominik

How to setup the SMTP server in Oracle apps?

Hi,
How to setup the SMTP server in Oracle Apps? Is it mandatory to keep the SMTP server on the same host where the Oracle data base is installed? Also can someone help how we can set up the SMTP server on different host (not the Database server) and we can use the same for Workflow notification mailer.
Thanks,
Bijoy

How to setup the SMTP server in Oracle Apps? Is it mandatory to keep the SMTP server on the same host where the Oracle data base is installed? No, it is not mandatory. Also please note that the mails are sent out from concurrent manager mode. Not from the database node.
Also can someone help how we can set up the SMTP server on different host (not the Database server) and we can use the same for Workflow notification mailer.

It depends on the operating system you are using. If you are using *nix then sendmail needs to be configured.

How to send email to a SMTP server over a secure channel using STARTTLS setting of a send connector (Exchange and SMTP server are in the same domain)

I’m trying to send email using exchange send connector STARTTLS setting to the SMTP server. I have read multiple documents on configuring TLS for send connector, but they talks about outbound connections to internet facing servers. My Exchange 2013 and SMTP
server is in the same domain (let’s say A.com) and I’m creating dummy domains on my SMTP server (e.g.
[email protected],
[email protected] ) and their respective send connectors on the exchange server end. In the smart host section added the IP address of the SMTP server and in the scoping section added the SMTP domain address (e.g. dummy1.local ). In the FQDN field, added
the FQDN of the exchange server 2013 which certificate is enabled with SMTP service.
Could you tell me a step by step procedure, where I’m going wrong or any extra settings needs to added?
Presently, it is giving me an error that 530 5.5.1 TLS encrypted connection is required.
Note: I’ve created the Microsoft CA certificates for the SMTP and exchange servers and imported them in the personal certificate container. In which, the exchange certificate is created with FQDN name of the server and enabled for the SMTP service.
I’m using OPENSSL certificate for making the SMTP server TLS enabled. (let me know, if I need to import the OPENSSL certificate anywhere on the exchange end)?
Thanks!

-IgnoreSTARTTLS is set to false on the send connector properties.
I'm trying to established a HTTP over TLS connection. I'm not using mutual TLS between these two server.
The send connector protocol logging is attached as below,

We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How do I set up a mail server and SMTP server to send messages to other mail servers at mavericks

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

How to find the smtp server on a linux box?

Hello,
I am trying to set up Notification Methods in OEM and I need to know the SMTP server and port. Which command can I use on Linux to find this information? Thank you in advance.

Netstat is not necessarily the right tool for this task.
Sorry, but "netstat -a | grep 25" will not be useful. For example:
netstat -a | grep 25
unix 2      [ ]         DGRAM                    128925
unix 3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED     11825 Better grep for "smtp". For example:
netstat -a | grep smtp
tcp        0      0 vm015.example.com:smtp      *:*                         LISTEN
lsof is a better tool, but requires "root" or superuser privileges. For instance:
lsof -i :smtp
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sendmail 3098 root    4u IPv4 13077       TCP vm015.example.com:smtp (LISTEN)Keep in mind however that processing and routing email in is usually a more complex task and involves either to know firewall and mail gateway configurations, or ask your mail administrator. The local mail server may not be permitted to relay email to the company wide smtp gateway depending on routing policies.

How to solve the SMTP server issue.

I did the migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 , the workflow emails are sent perfectly in SharePoint 2010 but when i configure the SharePoint 2013 the following error has occurred.
Error : The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Please let me know if you aware of this.
-Thanks,
Swapnil

That's pretty much all the settings you need to do on the SharePoint side. Does the SMTP server that you are pointing to allow incoming emails from your SharePoint server IP Address? It might only allow relay services to specific IP ranges.
Or maybe you have a firewall that is blocking it?

How do I set up the email on the my new MacBook Pro to receive "me" email

Hi Martin,
MobileMe Mail Help: Setting up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email
The steps you follow to set up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email depend on which version of Mac OS you’re using.
Important: For the instruction below, use the following: MobileMe Mail’s incoming mail server is “mail.me.com” and the outgoing mail server it “smtp.me.com.”
To set up Mac OS X Mail to receive MobileMe mail:
If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later
Open System Preferences (under the Apple icon at the upper-left of your computer screen).
Click MobileMe (if you have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later), or .Mac (if using version 10.4.11 to 10.5.2), and enter your MobileMe member name and password.
Open Mac OS X Mail, choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
Click the Add button at the lower-left of the Accounts pane. Choose MobileMe from the Account Type pop-up menu, and then enter your account information.
The member name and password you use for SMTP authentication must match the member name and password in the User Name and Password fields.
To switch to POP, delete the existing IMAP account before you create the new POP account. Choose POP Account from the Account Type pop-up menu instead of MobileMe Account.

Can I change the smtp server with Yahoo push account?

My yahoo email account will send and receive over EDGE using the default yahoo mail settings. On my home Cox internet WiFi network I can retrieve messages but cannot send. When sending it says it was sent and makes the "swooshing" mail sent sound, but the message disappears. It does not appear in the "sent" folder or "drafts" folder either. No error message is returned.
I suspect this is related to Cox blocking the smtp server, but the iPhone does not allow me to change the smtp settings on the default yahoo account. Does anyone know how to do this? I can set it up manually for POP access, but then I'm flooded with spam.

No, you cannot change the SMTP server on the Yahoo push account.
Yahoo push only works if you configure your account using the Yahoo! Mail shortcut on the iPhone, and that shortcut does not allow for ANY customization.
