How to setup DNS behind Airport Extreme and ISP that will not reverse DNS

Hi,
I am having issues setting up my Mac Mini with SLS. Right now my server is connected to the internet through my Airport Express. It gets a static address from the router (10.0.1.13). The router also has a static address from my ISP. I own the domain redcedarpoint.com. I have set the A record to point to my static router IP address. I also setup a CNAME for server.redcedarpoint.com to the same address.
During the initial portion of setup SLS sees my ISP's domain versus my own domain and incorrectly fills the local domain name. I manually changed these to redcedarpoint.com and called the server 'server'. This puts server.redcedarpoint.com into all the host names. Everything seems to work, but now all my users get email addresses like [email protected] versus [email protected]. I have manually set mail host name to redcedarpoint.com (although this is wrong I think). It solves the email addressing issue, but now postfix gives me a warning about a duplicate:
+Jan 27 21:20:45 server postfix/postmap[70670]: warning: /var/amavis/local_domains.db: duplicate entry: "redcedarpoint.com"+
My question is: What should I fill in during setup and how should I setup DNS from my hosting service.
By the way, I am also trying to funnel all inbound and outbound email through my premium Google Apps subscription.
Here's also the result of postconf -n

The first one is easy...
Jan 27 21:20:45 server postfix/postmap70670: warning: /var/amavis/local_domains.db: duplicate entry: "redcedarpoint.com"
You have redcedarpoint.com set as both the domain name and the hostname of the server. That is not correct:
mydomain = redcedarpoint.com
myhostname = redcedarpoint.com
In this case, myhostname should be the reverse DNS hostname that the recipient mail server would see on outgoing mail - typically this would be something like 'mail.redcedarpoint.com
You should also fix the mydestination parameter so that it includes your domain name as well:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, dmcwatering.com, internationalcardio.com
mydestination identifies the domains this server accepts mail for. In this setup it will accept mail addressed to @mail.redcedarpoint.com (assuming you fix myhostname, as above), @localhost.redcedarpoint.com, @localhost, @dmcwatering.com and @internationalcardio.com
Nowhere here does @recedarpoint.com appear, so users won't get mail addressed to [email protected]
It's easiest to just add redcedarpoint.com to the list of domains the server handles mail for.
how should I setup DNS from my hosting service
Your subject implies a reverse DNS question, but there's nothing in this post about reverse DNS. Other than that, you should have an MX record for your domain that points to the public IP address of your router.

  • TS1589 i setup my airport extreme and now i do not have no internet connection

    I'm having a difficult time setting up my airport extreme to my iphone 4s.  i setup my airport extreme and now i don't have no internet connection.  I have a PC not a Mac desktop computer at home.  i am confused with the setup.

    downlaod the airport utility app on your iphone, it will let you setup your device
    then factory reset your extreme
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.

  • My airport extreme is working but will not connect to my mac pro

    my airport extreme is working and all other devices connect except my mac pro computer,  How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi fdrussell,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Were your Airport Extreme and Mac Pro communicating earlier?  If so, what changed?  
    First try shutting down the computer, and recycling the power to the Airport Extreme.  Then start the Mac Pro and see if that resolves the issue.  
    If needed, perform a Hard reset of the Airport Extreme:

  • My Airport Extreme Base Station light will not go green.

    Have had this Airport Extreme router for about a year.
    We have had a new DSL line outside of house fixed.  The modem is fine.
    So it appears to be router.
    I have pressed the back button to reset etc.
    Cannot get it to go green and work.  So right now have the laptop hooked up with ethernet
    cable direct to contact this support. As wireless router the Airport Extreme is weak.
    HELP

    What error code are you getting when connected to the AirPort Extreme and running AirPort Utility?  Is your DSL modem just a modem or also a router as well?

  • Setup problems with airport extreme and cable.

    I am trying to install a new airportextreme 802.11n with cable (comcast) using a Motorola SURFboard eXtreme. The airport extreme keeps blinking amber. Any suggestions?

    Should I connect the modem to the AEBS before I power it up?
    Yes, all devices that normally are interconnected by Ethernet, should be connected during the power recycle.
    If it continues to flash amber, should I still go through the set up with Airport Utility? If so, manual or let it guide me?
    Yes. The following Apple Support article describes the flashing amber status light in more detail.
    By default, your AEBS will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. You would then use the AirPort Utility to make any required configuration changes. The Utility has two basic modes: 1) Assist-me (aka Automatic) and 2) Manual Setup. The latter is used to fine-tune any settings. The assisted mode, should take you through the steps to get the AEBS up and running properly for most common configurations.
    Please feel free to post back if you have any questions on setting your AEBS up.

    Currently have binding setup and all is well, then I get notice that some of the AD accounts will not login, they get the screen shake.   If I shortent their login name from john.smith to john.sm they login fine???????????  Anyone experiencing this?

    With all due respect, that means you didn't follow the instructions Apple provided.
    iMessage is an option, not a requirement.  Before you go off on an anti-Apple rant, perhaps you should at least attempt to follow their directions?
    And yes, your WIRELESS CARRIER should have told you that when you went to switch from Apple to a non-Apple device.  How is Apple supposed to know that you're about to switch from an iPhone to a non-iPhone?  Did you call them?  Did you visit a store?  Did you come to this forum?
    I agree that your WIRELESS CARRIER should have given you a heads up.  Because they are the only one that could have possibly know (other than you) that you were going to switch brands.

  • How to create a UDF on BP Master Data that will not save any data?

    I need to create several UDFs on the BP Mater Data screen that will be configured to automatically show a balance of 0-30Days, 31-60Days, 61-90Days etc.
    I am currently able to do this although I cannot seem to find a way to only show the current data without saving it.
    Eg. I have a UDF with an SQL statement that shows the current BPu2019s 0-30Day Balance, but the BP Master Data screen always changes to u2018Updateu2019 every time the UDF balance is updated.
    I am looking for a way to show this information on the BP Master Data screen similarly to the default BP Account Balance without saving the data.
    I am working with SAP B1 8.81 PL09 and B1UP 4.3.0.0. Thank you.

    Thanks Gordon, I appreciate your assistance. I can get all the fields to display as I want them, but my issue is having to save the BP Master Data form every time I wish to move away from it.
    Is there anywhere in SAPB1 that stores a running total of account balance for 30Days, 60Days, etc..? (just to be sure)
    I might also try to create a new tab on the BP Master Data form that shows an SQL Aging Report and see if I can pick up the info from that embedded report.
    Any other ideas would be also appreciated.

  • Software update in mountain lion offers updates for iPhoto and iMovie that will not install

    Updated my iMac 2011 to Mountain Lion. Software Update now operates through the App Store. Third Party apps are OK but Apple's native Mac apps eg iPhoto, iMovie offer updates for installation that do not install.
    Get this error eg for iMovie but similar for iPhoto and maybe others:
    "We could not complete your update.  iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
    If you do as suggested, it reloads App Store software update and goes round again...
    If I go to "Check for updates" in the iMovie menu it tells me it's the current version.
    "This version of iMovie (9.0.8) is the current version."
    The badge showing the count of apps requrining an update is also wrong.

    Hi, just wondering, were any of Apple's Apps moved from there default location?

    hello acronshaw, all your search providers will appear once you start typing a search term into the search bar...
    this has been a change in the search bar in firefox 34 - the new behaviour will make it easier to set one single default search engine but to use different providers on a one-off basis. its workings are explained in [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]

  • How can I edit an Address Book Distribution List that will not display in Lion?

    The option to edit an Address Book Distribution List (to select preferred emails for certain contacts) only appears as light print and does not respond to selection.  I have a number of Address Groups that display and funtion properly in Mail, but since installing Lion, the problem described occurs.  Any fix?  Thanks.

    The key is that the Contact List is now being kept in the Cloud & you cannot edit the Distribution List in your Mac's Address Book.
    The fix is:
    Quit your Address Book
    Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
    Uncheck the CONTACTS icon
    Close Sys Pref
    Open Address Book - Edit your Distribution Lists (No longer Greyed out)
    Quit Address Book
    Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
    Check the CONTACTS icon
    You should be good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • Airport Extreme and Airport Express used as two routers

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use Aiport Extreme as an 802.11n router only for 802.11n devices and then plug the Airport Express to the Airport Extreme so as to use the Airport Express as a second router to have 802.11b/g devices wirelessly connect to it?
    I want to do this so that my MacBook, which is 802.11n, can connect at full speed to the Airport Extreme and so that my iPhone, which is 802.11g, can connect to the Airport Express. Doing it this way would allow the Extreme to remain at full speed instead of dropping to 802.11g whenever the iPhone connects to it wirelessly. Please let me know if this can be done and if so, how.
    TIA (thanks in advance)

    Hi everyone.
    The answer was right before my eyes all along. All I had to do was wait for the AEP to show up on Airport utility. I then told Airport Utility that the AEP was connected to Internet by Ethernet and assigned it a different range of DHCP numbers.
    I then setup the wireless on the Airport Extreme as 2.5Ghz 802.11n and gave both Airports unique network names. Now when I connect my Macbook to the Airport Extreme, it connects at 802.11n and when I connect my iPhone to the Airport Express it doesn't slow down my MacBooks connection down to 802.11g. I confirmed this by trying out both wireless connections and transferring a 250mb file from my MacPro which is connected to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet. This was taking a minute or less. When I tried transferring the same file but using the wireless connection with my Airport Express, the time was more like 4 to 5 minutes.
    Cool! Thanks a lot everyone.

  • How can I use an airport extreme to extend my wireless network?

    I have a Verizon FIOs router with both wireless and ethernet capability. I also have an airport extreme base station, which is currently connected to the Verizon router by Ethernet and provides wireless to a MacBook in a distant room upstairs. Practically, I have two wireless network now. I have two G4 Sawtooth, which do not have wireless PCI card and require ethernet connection for internet. One of them is in the upstairs study room and connected to the Verizon wireless router by Ethernet. The other is in an downstairs room has not wireless connection.
    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network? If so, how do I set up the airport station downstairst? If not, I know that I have get a PCI wifi for the Sawtooth downstairs.
    Your advice is greatly appreciated.
    Robert

    Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
    Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
    What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.
