How do you host a domain and several email addresses from that domain with OS X Server?

Right now I have a domain name through GoDaddy.com and one email address to that domain...we will have about 5-8 in total...How do I setup OS X Server to host our own domain (without using GoDaddy) and setup our own mail server?

There are several steps that you would need to do.
Set up OS X Server with mail services and users. Also, you may have to have your OS X mail server relay messages through your ISP so you can email people at other domains.
Set up firewall/router to forward IMAP/POP and SMTP ports from your external IP address to your server (which is either in the DMZ of the firewall or on LAN).
Set up DNS records so your domain name points to your server (and if you do not have a static IP address, you will need to set up dynamic DNS). At a minimum you will need 2 DNS records: an A (or AAAA for IPv6) record for the server (I think it can be the root of the zone) and a MX (mail exchange) record.
If everything is set up correctly, you should have a mail server hosting on your domain with your server.
Those would be the major steps you would need to complete. Details on the exact procedure for each of these steps can be found reading the OS X Server documentation, documentation for your router/firewall for port forwarding/NAT, and your specific DNS service.

  • How do I delete old .mac and .me email addresses from the new iCloud email server?

    Now that I have iCloud, all the old .mac and .me email that I never used feeds through it.  Since there is no SPAM filter, I cannot block these emails from getting through and I get lots of spam now.   How do I delete the .mac and .me email addresses?
    Thanks.

    I  set the Rules months ago to automatically put all email sent to those email addresses in TRASH.  However, they still appear in my Mail Trash on my Mac.  Just an annoyance.    Thanks for the response.

  • HT201342 how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

    how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

    You cannot change an iCloud email address unless you create a new iCloud account.  You can, however, create an email alias, which is an alternate email address that will receive incoming email in your existing iCloud email inbox.  To do this, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Just keep in mind that once you creat an alias, you can't later use this to create a new iCloud account or move it to another account, even if you delete the alias.

  • Cut and paste emails addresses from a spreadsheet not working anymore.

    Under Mount Lion and prior versions, in the Mail client I was able to copy a list of email addresses from an excel spreadsheet, paste them into either the To, CC, or BCC list and it would recognize the email addresses.  Under Maverick, I do the same thing and it all goes in as text.  I have to add a comma to the end of each email address for it to be recognized.  Since this spreadsheet is sent to me, don't want to edit 100 users everytime there is an update.  Is there a way to get this to work?  Really annoying to have to extract the list and to add a comma to the end of each email address.  Feature that went away in Maverick giving me a headache.

    See answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24362299#24362299
    It's a bit of a workaround, but since it lets you add the comma to all the addresses at once, it shuold help you out baout 95%.

  • How do I move all photos and catalog (PE 6)  from local computer drive to network server drive?

    I'm using PE 6. I have about 40 GB of photos all organized and cataloged on my local PC's hard drive. I have just installed a home server that is networked and want to move/migrate all the photos and catalog information/organization from my local PC drive to the home server's hard drive. Basically, just moving everything to a new drive. I then need to point PE 6 to this new location for the photos and catalog information. All advice on how to do this would be appreciated?

    I just got done doing this and I'm not so sure I'd recommend it.
    #1 reason: The #$%%#$ Organizer has REAL PROBLEMS figuring out network path names. It has this really nasty habit of thinking, say, \\homeserv\photos, \\Homeserv\Photos, and \\HOMESERV\PHOTOS are DIFFERENT paths. And depending on how you use it to navigate, or drag and drop files onto it, or teach it to watch a folder on a network drive or whatever, it uses variants on these kinds of path names. This leads to problems like duplicate imports that are really the same file.
    What a ***.
    You MIGHT have better luck if you use a mapped drive letter to make this work. Sad. The rules for writing WinApps to NOT NEED mapped drive letters have been common knowledge to developers for a decade. Just not Adobe developers, apparently. Beyond sad. Pathetic.

  • How do you control the Subject Line in emails sent from RS_PREC_PLAN?

    We are using the program RS_PREC_PLAN to broadcast precalculated workbooks from a process chain.  We have entered values for each parameter (i.e. Precalc server, workbook, web template, and email addresses) and saved as a variant. 
    However, each time the program is called from the process chain the email recipient gets an email with "Test" as the subject line.  Is there any way to control what is displayed in the subject line of the email?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Brad,
    Looks like the subject is hardcoded...
    you can find the same in
      Form  sent_mail
    where there is :
    l_r_parameter->add( i_id    = 'DESCRIPTION'
                          i_value = 'Test'(001) ).
    what you could do is create a copy of the same program and look at passing the subject to the program...
    Arun
    Hope it helps...
    You could also look at using the how to document on sending workbook as attachment available in SDN - created by Durairaj Athavan Raja,,

  • HT5622 how do you find out what your rescue email address is

    I have a new iphone.  It asks me security questions to verify my identity.  I forgot answers and therefore it sends information to my rescue email to change questions.  How do I find out what my rescue email is?

    You can't after losing the answers. If guessing doesn't work, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • How do you send mail using a different email address

    I have a BT yahoo mail account, (eg [email protected]) to which I have associated a domain name for my business use, (eg [email protected]). When I send a mail from my PC I can choose which email address to show in the from address, either my personal Btinternet account or my Business Name. However I don't have this option on the iPad. Has anyone else experienced this problem? And if so what's the solution.
    Many thanks in advanced.
    Bluto

    Badunit,
    Thanks no I don't have both accounts set up as the Business domain name is received and issued through the btinternet mail account. I've tried to set up a second account however this will not validate because they are both through the same mail account. Or am I missing something?

  • How can you find out who an iCloud email address is registered to?

    I have been being harassed by someone with an iCloud email address and I was wondering if there is any way to find out who it could be registered to, or at least an IP address?
    Thank you in advance.

    Realize too that is it very easy to fake a sender email address.  Using the e-mail address to identify the harasser would be as reliable as reporting a harasser on the street to police and telling them the person had told you their address was 300 Smith Avenue.

  • TS1347 How do I get my contacts and calendar to sync from my PC with Windows 8.1 to my i-phone with OS 7.1?

    I just got an i-phone 5s with OS 7.1 and I want to transfer/sync my calendar & contacts from Outlook on my PC which has Windows 8.1. The version Outlook is Outlook 2013, hopefully with using icloud.
    I've looked at the Apple support site and they want to go the opposite way that I want to go. iN OTHER WORDS THEY WANT TO GO FROM THE CLOUD/PHONE TO OUTLOOK AND i WANT TO MOVE MY OUTLOOK CALENDAR TO THE IPHONE.
    Thanks for any help.

    The iPhone doesn't store anything on the SIM card, so all contacts, photos, email addresses, etc. are stored in iCloud/Gmail/Yahoo or on the phone itself.
    ManS, there is no need to backup and restore the phone for a SIM change. Unless you're unlocking the phone first, then you need to backup, erase the phone, connect to iTunes, and then restore.
    But for a SIM change, you will probably have to reactivate iMessage and Facetime on the new carrier link.
