How Leopard Mail server handle multi-domain?

I have more than one domain name mail server running on different machine.
Can i use leopard server mail service to handle more than one domain mail service?

How about in Workgroup Manager?
When i setup user account in Workgroup Manager, in Mail field i need input "Mail Server".
Is that means each user only have one e-mail domain account?
Can i create a user have same username with different domain? like [email protected] and [email protected]

Setting up Leopard Mail Server to access external pop mail accounts

First I don't know if this is possible, after a few hours trying I am not really sure if I am doing this right.
I really just want to have my Leopard Mail server pull any new mail from my web hosting company mail servers that host my domain (samplename.com as an example). My domain is hosted by a web hosting company as part of my website package. I don't really want to stop having the web hosting company host my mail portion. (kinda of a backup mail server of sorts?)
My Leopard mail server is called leopardserver.local and not my domain name (samplename.com). As I am afraid if I call my Leopard server by my domain name (samplename.com) it will stop letting me access my domain name (samplename.com) from my other Macs. Also possibly adding in to pull from my secondary domain name's mail server, and a gmail.com server later.
I am trying to avoid to creating the MX records, etc. if possible. Will my idea work?

Thank you pterobyte. This process was much simpler that I thought. After searching on these forums and finding the syntax for the .fetchmailrc file, I found on a website how to change the permissions for the .fetchmailrc file. This is now working when I log in as me and start it up - I will look at making it run from root later when I have more time.
I do have a question now related to the flip side - sending mail from my server. When I send mail from my server using the webmail piece or the Mail app on the server I received this message:
<[email protected]>;;: host smtp-server.mycableisp.com[00.00.000.000] said: 553 5.1.8
<[email protected]>;;... Domain of sender address [email protected]
does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
To fix this I put in the Reply-To a different valid account like [email protected] - this suppresses the error, but my mail is not going anywhere. The recipient does not get the message that was sent.
1. How can I fix this so my mail flows out and gets delivered?
2. If I change the server name to something like domainname.net, would this fix #1?
Here is the interesting part - If I create the message in Mail.app that has a From field (not webmail - which I will be using 99% of the time) everything flows through the mail server and gets delivered.
My logs are empty in the Server Admin utility.
I appreciate being able to learn more about this.

Mavericks Mail server in multi doamins

I am using os x server 3.0.2 in mavericks, i want to enable multi domain login on mail server.
for example:
[email protected] is user1
[email protected] is user2
In "Users", i can't use @ in Account Name, so i set the Full Name to "[email protected]".
I try to use "Mail.app" to login [email protected], but it can't.
It says "Trying to log in to this IMAP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct."
If i change the Full Name to info_domain1.com and use "Mail.app" to login info_domain1.com, it can login.
So, it is possible to set users in full email address and i can use full email address to login in the "Mail.app"?

I know this is not the fix you are looking for, but it's what I had to do, so I thought I'd share.
Hopefully, someone will be able to figure it out the "right" way!
I created this AppleScript that will stop and start the mail service every hour.
You can copy and paste it into AppleScript Editor, compile it and save it as an application. You can then run it. You need to run it from an administrator account and keep that user logged in.
If once an hour (every 3600 seconds) is too often, just change 3600 to however many seconds you want.
Be sure to change AdminPassword with the Admin user's actual password.
repeat
          do shell script "/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin stop mail" password "AdminPassword" with administrator privileges
delay 60
          do shell script "/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin start mail" password "AdminPassword" with administrator privileges
          delay 3600
end repeat

Leopard Mail Server and DynDNS (Newbie)

I don't have a static IP but have an account with DynDNS. I have AFP, Firewall, Web, and VPN enabled. All those services are working perfectly. I am now trying to setup mail.
I have opened the required ports, enabled mail, and configured mail via the "Configure Mail Service" button in overview. POP and IMAP are enabled. SMTP is enabled to allow incoming Mail. Accept SMTP relay is checked to accepts relays from 127.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.3.0/24.
I have setup an account in Workgroup Manager with mail enabled.
Using Mac OS X Mail, I have setup the POP account and it is recognized (at least for incoming). However, when I try to send mail to that account, I receive Deliver Failed notification - Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address. There is also something about a diagnostic code and relay access being denied.
Don't really know where to go from here. I have set up the MX record through DynDNS - mail.mydomain.com

Before you go too far, where you you going (or hoping to go) with this?
If you're planning on running your own domain's email you might as well stop right now. For the most part you can't run a reliable mail service on a dynamic IP address. For one, most major ISPs are going to reject your mail as coming from a dynamic IP address. A large portion of ISPs will also reject your mail since the reverse lookup of your server's IP address doesn't match your domain.
If you're just running your own mail to/from your own users you might be OK, but if you're trying to email other domains it just isn't going to work.
You might have more luck if you relay your mail through your ISP's mail server - that may overcome some of the limitations but for truly reliable email delivery you need a static IP address.
Now, that said, in order for anyone to troubleshoot your problem (assuming it's more than just a dynamic IP address issue) you're going to have to reveal your domain name. That way people can lookup what the DNS world knows about your domain, test it, and see what the actual failure notices look like.
The failure message is critical. It will give a specific reason and that reason will go a long way to identifying the problem. Just saying there is some 'diagnostic code' doesn't help much.

After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, mail server does not receive incoming email

After upgrading my server last night [2011.07.20] from Snow Leopard to Lion, my mail server settings went belly up. After toying around with the server, its certificates and what-not, I was able to get it running, but it is no longer receiving any emails [neither internally nor from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.].
I can send emails via SMTP just fine [using SSL] to external email accounts [and it doesn't complain when I address an email to an internal email account, but I can't verify that it's sending it to the internal email account because it won't receive!].
The Connection Doctor says that it is indeed connecting properly to the server [incoming = IMAP, outgoing = SMTP], so there is communication between Mail 5.0 [and also Thunderbird as well] and the mail server. The problem appears to be the mail server not receiving any emails - from internal or external addresses.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix for it?
Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this issue? My mail server is doing the same thing. I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues. I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly. The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
Do you see anything similar?

IMAP emails disappearing from Snow Leopard Mail Server

I run IT for a publishing company with about 75 IMAP accounts on my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server running mail services. I received a call two days ago from a user claiming that his 7000 mails have vanished from his mail application. When I checked his account through webmail all his emails were gone yet none were in the deleted mail mailbox. Being daring I went into my backups and copied all of the that user's email for the following location from the server backup /private/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail. Once I put the mail back everything seemed great but shortly after the emails began disappearing again. At a rate of about 100 every few minutes. Not much later all 7000 emails were gone again. I repeated this procedure several times with the same result. I since have had him access as a POP account so that as a temporary fix the email would reside on his Mac and not vanish. But I still can't figure out why this is happening. Any ideas or thoughts would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Beausoleil

Download email from External Postfix Server to Leopard Mail Server?

Any pointers to specific articles, much appreciated.
We presently have our website and mail servers (postfix) hosted on surftown, which has squirrelmail for webmail.
We do not have a static IP and use dyndns.
The domain on surftown is xxxx.com
We also run an intranet with a couple of Leopard Servers behind a VPN,with our own local DNS on intranet.xxxx.com
I would like to take the emailserver inside the VPN and onto a Leopard Server, but leave the website on surftown.
Is it possible to have postfix on a Leopard Server log onto the postfix server at surftown and draw the email off?
Users would then access their email via the Leopard Server.
If they are in the office LAN or in a satellite office connected VPN, then they will use POP/IMAP within Mail.
If they are outside the VPN they can use Webmail via a logon with a Netgear SSL312.
Does anyone have any experience of using the Leopard Server postfix to tap an external postfix service? It would certainly be cheaper than paying DynDNS to do a mailhop and trap.

Look for discussions of [imapsync|http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync> as one potential starting point for your quest and as keyword fodder for your searches.
This is usually one of two general classes of problem. Presuming this is a technical limitation out at your ISP (eg: they don't "do" static addresses) and not a budget-targetting effort (implying that you probably won't want to spend on a tunnel), setting up an IPv6 tunnel over IPv4 might be an alternative.

Can you set up mail server for 2 domains?

we have emails using 2 different domains. The first domain has the mail set up on mac server and is running fine. We would now like to add our second email domain to this server as well. Can we do this?

Hmm. Good to know. However, it sounds a little intimidating. I guess it is not a tool you can just launch like Server Admin Tools with a nice-looking user-interface, right? Even though I've installed and ran Windows SBS 2003 since 2003 and just setup a Mac Mini Server, I am not that comfortable when it comes to terminal-level commands, port mapping this, port mapping that, X11, Xcode, etc. Is there a step-by-step configuration guide out there that you are aware? I'll start to look around.

Setting up first Leopard Mail Server

Hi All,
I have nearly got there but still confused on the last hurdle!
I have set everything up server side, now when I try to setup client machine with the IMAP mail it is hitting the server and in the mail logs showing a connection is being made BUT giving this error : AOD : authentication error : cannot find user : [email protected] (0)
I have setup my account in OD and enabled mail with all relevant settings. in the info tab I have put a few diff emails I want that user to have (admin@, info@ etc) Is this correct or do I setup the users email accounts elsewhere?
Thanks in advance

OK setup a new user in WGM and account sends mail ;))
BUT when I mail to the new account it now states- Reason: Illegal host/domain name found
Is this my DNS?? I am using the FQDN as my SMTP, is this correct?

Multi domains handling.

There has been many post regarding domain.sites splitting and how to handle multi-domain.
First you need to split your domain.sites package, with courtesy of Mark:
http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/DomainSeparation/SiteSeparation.html
What about handling multi-domain?
Make a master folder, and make sub-folders within this master folder to keep (split) domain.sites, then place the master folder in your Dock, ie:
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/domains.jpg
You can access your domain.sites at any time from the Dock.
What about making new domain.sites?
You can force iweb to create new domain.sites with shell script (Unix) or AppleScript - notice second item in domains.jpg.
_New Domain script forces iweb to create new domain.sites package - in your specify folder, as in this dialog box:
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/newDomain.jpg
There is no need for third-party application. Everything you see/need is free and is bundled in every mac.

Vark,
Weird as heck, but it does happen.
I've had it happen to me a few times and I've had a
number of emails from others that have experienced
the same thing; enough to make me warn everyone
about it.
Funny, when I try to replicate the problem I'm unable
to; seems to strike at random.
Weird stuff!!! I believe it, just think it is extremely bizarre.

Outlook Client Can't Send Mail through Leopard Mail

One of our clients is on a Windows XP machine running Outlook. She had no trouble receiving or sending before we migrated to Leopard from Tiger 10.4.10. Now she is able to receive mail but is unable to send. We have set up other test Win XP Outlook clients and they show the same problem.
Does anyone have Outlook clients successfully sending mail via a POP account on Leopard Mail Server? If so what are the Outlook settings?

Here is the system log during a test session with Outlook set to connect without ssl. Astrid, the Outlook user, connects via webmail (imap) first and then with Outlook (pop) and then with webmail again. Note there is no smtp connection to send mail. The Outlook error message follows the system log below.

Spam engine to help Spamassasin in SL Mail Server

Hello folks,
I'd like to know if you can recommend a good spam engine/app to help spamassasin that's built-in Snow Leopard Mail Server.
What do you network admins use against spam? Do you rely only on Spamassasin?
Thanks,
Andrei D.

SpamAssassin/amavisd works fine and can block spam effectively. It will however need some under the hood tuning as the Server Admin settings for it are very limited.
For a description of the available parameters, see here:
http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/amavisd-settings.html
It is also important to improve on the Postfix configuration as it makes sense to block as much spam as possible before it even hits the spam filter. For a how-to see here:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/38/62/
(works for 10.6 as well).
HTH,
Alex

Unable to whitelist our mail server IP

Hi,
I hope Verizon Support staff will see this message as it is practically our last resort.
Ever since we upgraded our dedicated server used as both web and mail server for the domain kraisoft.com (which inflicted IP address change) all emails sent out from this server to Verizon customers are being rejected with the following bounce message:
host relay.verizon.net[206.46.232.11] refused to talk to me:
571 Email from 69.64.78.50 is currently blocked by Verizon Online's anti-spam system. The email sender or Email Service Provider may visit http://www.verizon.net/whitelist and request removal of the block. 150330
Any attempts to whitelist our server using the above-mentioned form end up within several minutes with seemingy automatic (judging by its uselessness and the time taken to investigate) reply:
Your IP has been blocked because of spam issues or because your ISP indicates that it is dynamically assigned
No Reverse Hostname associated with your IP address.
Once you have addressed any security-related issues on your network, you should contact Verizon Online Security via this form.
Sincerely,
Verizon Online Security
Any attempts to reply to this message, or use "this form", or email [email protected] quoted in the message end in complete and total silence.
Needless to say the IP adress in question - 69.64.78.50 -
1. Does not have any spam issues as it is a freshly assigned IP address for a new dedicated server built a couple of weeks ago (with your rejection started from the day one). The Postfix mailer on the server is configured properly, not an open relay, isn't listed in any of the 100 common blacklists, uses SSL client connections, has SPF records, signs email using DKIM etc.
2. Isn't by any means a dynamic IP. It is a static IP, one of the 4 assigned to the server by the hoster.
3. ANY available tool (online or command-line) will show within seconds that a proper reverse hostname kraisoft.com is assosiated with the IP address in question 69.64.78.50 so the reply is obviously irrelevant.
This is getting extremely frustrating and we'd be very, very grateful if this issue could be escalated to someone who can provide some additional info or resolve the issue.
Thank you.

Is it possible to let OS X Mail server POP and Sort

Hi there!
I'm a current Kerio Mail server user and the way it's set up is like this:
All our mail gets delivered and spam-filtered at our hostingprovider's server, all mail drops into 1 big mailbox.
Kerio pops this mailbox every so often and distributes the mail to the users that are managed in kerio.
Is this setup possible with OS X Server mail services? We are receiving loads of spam and our connection acts up sometimes so this setup provides great availability.
[edit]
i guess fetchmail comes into play ... it is installed but not configured
[/edit]
Message was edited by: Zimmen

A few missing pieces here...
1. Are you using Kerio on your machine, or that is what your hosting provider is running? (I will assume the former).
2. Does your hosting provider accept mail to AnyUser@yourdomain, or only to legitimat users at your site? If the former, it is no wonder you are getting hammered by spam. You will take anything. Your provider might be able to filter against an RBL list, but that probably only takes out about 70% of the spam on a good day.
Anti-spam filtering takes place on the SMTP side of the server. Once the mail is delivered to your SP, you've got the mail and have to deal with it on the client side. Ugly at best. Fetchmail will not help you here.
OS X mail does have a pretty good selection of anti-spam tools. Most notably, SpamAssassin and greylisting. But both (greylisting in particular) require your mail server be the only mail server for your domain for best results.
Mail does not require particularly high availability. If your mail server is missing for a while, the sending site will try again later. Mail is very resilient to temporary failures. You could set up your SP as a backup MX host if you want, but I would submit that would increase your spam load when your server is down or missing (mail relay from a secondary host, short circuits the greylisting feature).
I do not know Kerio myself, but for mail alone, the built in mail services in OS X (current version) are pretty good. But you are shooting yourself in the foot by having your SP collecting mail for you, especially if they will accept any user.

Doubt about mail server

hai pals,
this doubt is regarding mail server. a SMTP mail server handles mail using SMTP commands(HELO,RCPT TO, etc.,). what will an HTTP mail server do. does it use any commands to handle mail. what command does SMTP mail server use to handle attachment. what does HTTP mail server do to handle attachment. provide me information regarding my queries. Thanks in advance.
regards
haricse

Yahoo, like everyone else has an email server to receive messages. Just because they don't let you access it directly for free doesn't mean it's not there.
Part of the reason they don't let you see it is because if they did you would not have to use their web interface. If you look at the web page provided you can see the advertising that someone paid for. If you could use any client to connect directly who would every buy an add?
The HTTP interface is just an interface. Think about it this way. I can use javamail to write several classes that are used to handle email. These classes are the ones that interact with the SMTP/POP3/IMAP servers. I then write some JSP pages and I have an HTTP interface for my email app (I also tell my mail servers to not accept connections from anyone other than the HTTP server that I am running my JSP pages from and have effectively duplicated what you see from Yahoo.) For any of this to work though I need the SMTP/POP3/IMAP servers.
I then decide that I want a stand alone client. I use the same classes to interact with the servers as before, but now write my interface using swing components (and then I forget to take the connection restricition off my servers and waste an hour or two trying to figure out why my client won't connect even though it's sharing the same jar as the HTTP server for connectivity.)
