I can't get the mail service to stop

Heya,
I am working on Leopard 10.5.4 server, and having a slight problem with mail. Essentially, I cannot get the mail service to stop. More specifically, I cannot get the SMTP service to stop. When I click on stop service in the Server Admin, SMTP says "Attempting to Stop", then goes right back to running. Problem is that the Stop Service Button never changes to Start Service, so IMAP and POP will not start. I am thinking about migrating my email boxes to a secondary Leopard Server that I have, and completely ripping out the mail piece, reinstalling, and migrating users back.... Unfortunately, I don't know how to migrate the users (I tried using mailbfr but, in the end, the mailboxes don't appear in the new server), and I don't know how to completely rip and reinstall the mail piece. As you can tell, by the rip and reinstall tactics that I want to resort to, I am a recovering Windows guy who is in way over his head.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, the serveradmin stop mail command worked. Unfortunately, I am
unable to authenticate when trying to login as from a client. IMAP
log shows:

Honestly, I think that my problem at this point is OD and kerberos.
This machine is an OD Replica, but I cannot demote it. The same thing
happens as with mail... I try to make it stand alone, it goes through
the wizard, and then when it is done, goes right back to OD Replica,
and won't turn off... The OD Master doesn't see it as a valid replica
anymore. I also noticed that although kerberos is running on the OD
master, it is not running on this machine.
I know I am in the wrong forum for this, but any ideas?

I don't get the Mail service to work - tried everything!

Hey there,
I am frustrated. It's day 4 that I try to get the mail service on my machine running. Maybe someone has sme hints?
The setup:
- Mac Mini mid 2010
- OS X Mavericks and Server 3.0.1
- static IP (no Firewall or anything else, absolute in the wild)
- registered domain-name
- DNS A-Record: server.mydomain.org -> static IP
- DNS MX-Record: domain, *.domain -> server.mydomain.org; server.mydomain.org -> static IP of server
Server Configuration:
- Server.app shows everything is fine.
- ssh enabled for one user (works as a charme)
- Service-Data is on another partition than Mavericks
- Certificate: self-signed intermediate OD-Certificate (might be problematic?)
- users: one local user and one network-user (services-only)
- groups: workgroup, local network-group (added by the server.app itself)
Services:
- Websites: configured with 12 virtual-hosts some ssl (intermediate certificate) some on port 80, php enabled (All websites work perfect, no problems at all!)
- OpenDirectory: 1 Master on server.mydomain.org
- Mail:
-- Service-Bubble is green, says available under server.mydomain.org
-- Preferences: Mail available for mydomain.org (no other virtual domains)
-- authentification: hooked everything...(any method)
-- no relais
-- no MB-restriction for users
-- Filter: Virus and Junk

Seems like having problem on the smtp standard ports... but why?
When I now try to connect a client with the server (adding an OS X server Account in the System Preferences) it recognizes the server and lists its services as expected. But when Iopen Mail, the new account shows the litlle lightning and says it can't connect.
By the way: Notes, Calendar, Reminders work fine!
Has anyone an Idea what it could be?
Do I need some additional DNS-stuff?
If you need some further informations, please let me know.

If TCP port 25 isn't open, then SMTP services won't work. That's the port that all SMTP servers use to communicate amongst themselves. (Sure, you can change the port your SMTP server is listening on, but you'd also have to change the port processing on all of the other SMTP servers around — and if you did manage to implement that change everywhere, the local network folks would likely just block the new port for the same reasons they blocked the old port.)
If you have a public static IP address and have correct forward and reverse translations — host domain to IP address, and IP address to host domain name — then you don't need and very likely don't want to run your own DNS server.
More to help you learn how these pieces fit together and not something I'd expect you would need given you have a public static IP and public DNS here is a detailed DNS server configuration article for OS X Server; enable Show All Records and it applies to Server.app on 10.7 and later. If you have questions after reading that, I can certainly answer them and also update the article to try to reduce the confusion or answer the question.
Your host didn't have valid reverse DNS, so you'll want to get that cleared up, and you'll want to get the port blocks cleared, or work with the local network folks to set up a relay through one of the existing mail servers.

Hi David
Say you have term <foo> and definition <bar> pair. Here term (any text you want highlight) is used in document at many places and definition is defined once as complete paragraph anywhere (i.e. in table cell). if same term is define at multiple places first definition is taken.
Use marker text same as your term text <foo> for tagging both term and definition.
Use Glossary marker to tag definition
Use GlossaryTerm marker to tag term
We have taken feedback to update the FrameMaker help on this.

I just got a wireless keyboard for my iPad 4 and can't get the onscreen keyboard to stop showing as I type with the keyboard.

I have a just bought a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 4 and it works fine. It connects with bluetooth and when I type the characters appear fine but the on screen keyboard will not go away. How do I get it to disappear while I am using my bluetooth keyboard.
James, arealniceguy

Yes that was my next step but I removed the Swift key app I had installed with slightly different functionality than the Apple default screen keyboard. I figured I really didn't need that functionality since the Bluetooth keyboard offered far more flexibility. Sure enough the well designed default Apple keyboard seems to know it is not needed when an external keyboard is in use. Apple software just works better as always.

How can I get the lock screen to stop lighting up when I get a text message?

I just got the s5 and my screen keeps lighting up every time I get a text. I really just want it to vibrate or make a noise. Is there anyway to stop this feature?

Hi iluvtomd1,
Congrats on your new, awesome phone! You're asking a great question here. Turning on/off the Screen Lighting option is currently not an option that is available in the phone settings. Here's a great link with more information about your phone settings and options: http://vz.to/1i9BRT1. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Just set up the time capsule, connected everything per the set up instructions, can't get the amber light to stop blinking.

I have tried to re-start my modem and the time capsule, both to no avail.The amber light keeps blinking, and the software cannot find it wirelessly.

Reset it to factory and redo the setup.. this happens a lot now if you have moved on the Mavericks..
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local for your wireless.
Otherwise use an iOS device with the latest firmware and use the airport utility for iOS.. it is much more reliable than the computer version.

How can I get the password request to stop popping up in the calendar application?

Hello,
Recently a password entry text box for my Yahoo.com account started popping up when I open & use the built-in calendar on my iPhone 4s (I recently upgraded to 7.x, but I haven't applied the latest update yet). The text box continues to repeatedly pop up while I'm viewing/changing my schedule & it's really annoying. It continues to pop up even if I put my password in. What should I do to make this stop?
Thanks!

Me too, no widgets or safari extensions. I disabled javascript too. It just popped up while I was trying to figure out an iphoto issue.

BEEPS - how can I get the random beeps to stop?

My MacBook has been beeping at me for about 2 weeks. There are low pitched beeps every minute or every few minutes, sometimes just one short beep, and sometimes a longer beep (1-2 seconds). My volume is muted. I have software version 10.4.11 installed. It doesn't beep when it closed & charging - just when it's open and running.
I am on a relatively new home wifi network, but even when I'm offline it still beeps.
Any suggestions?

That's an internal issue. I believe that newer macs beep on start up if faulty RAM is detected so maybe you have a hardware issue where it just beeps for no reason. You could try running the Apple Hardware Test on the dvds that came with your MBP but in the end, I think you will have to take it in.

HT4437 I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?

I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?
This one is used in Windows laptop, and I want it support AirPlay service, but Apple doesn't publish the AirPlay protocol.
Many thanks.

Create a developer account, then access he developers forums and see if you can find the information that way
The other option would be to simply contact Apple directly.

I have seen all the early responses to how to fix AOL mail issues on Iphones, however no mater how many smpt servers I set up or on .... I can not get AOL mail to send from my Iphone 5, running IOS 6. I have an Iphone 4 running IOS6 and it works fine...

I can not get the Iphone 5 to send out aol mail. I have added the extra smtp server as suggested and it still will not send mail.

I am having the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I called apple restored my phone to its original and it did not work :-( Now it seems like it worked for a bit than stopped again. Now I have to contact Apple again to set up an appointment at an Apple store because it may be an issue with my phone. I have only had it for a week and half!
