I need help resolving issues with inbound mail on 10.8.5 server.

Let's start from the beginning.
I had a Mac Mini server running OS X 10.7 since 2011. I have a static IP and domain registered. I used it for mail, calendar, and web service.  It was working beautifully until a week ago.  Suddenly it stopped processing mail for me from google and apple managed domains.  There may be other domains, I do not know.
I checked my external firewall and the correct ports are being forwarded (25, 587, 993).  Connected to a remote network, I can verify that nmap shows the ports as open.  I can telnet into the server on port 25 and send mail.  I checked with the ISP and they are not blocking/filtering those ports and the DNS they are hosting for me appears to be correct (unchanged from when it was working).  I've looked in the logs, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for, really.  I upgraded to 10.8.5 and server 2.2.2 last night in an attempt to rectify the situation but I'm still unable to receive mail from my other accounts (iCloud and gmail).
I've been trying to troubleshoot this issue for a while now and I'm all out of ideas.  If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Trevor

Hi,
I can send/receive mail locally.  I send mail to [email protected] from [email protected] and [email protected].  This works while on my LAN and connected to my work via VPN.
I'm not listed on any blacklist, either by domain or IP using that tool.  The MX lookup tool at that site lists everything as OK, the MX record appears to be correct.  The SMTP test at that site shows a "failed to connect" error.  The exact error is:
Connection attempt #1 - Unable to connect after 15 seconds. [15.04 sec]
I'm not sure what I'm looking for in my log files.  I do not see any inbound connection attempts from google or apple domains when I try to send from my other e-mail accounts.
when I run the dig command, I get the following output:
dig @8.8.8.8 -t mx bakernet.ca
; <<>> DiG 9.8.5-P1 <<>> @8.8.8.8 -t mx bakernet.ca

I don't see an  A record here.  My DNS is hosted by my ISP, my server is performing DNS lookups for my LAN.
When I run dig from inside my LAN I get the following:

That does show an A record for the mail.bakernet.ca hostname.  Looks like my ISP is to blame?

    whenever adobe tried to update reader it alwaus fails and says I ahve to be in administrator mode, I read on the net that id you right click on a .pdf and go to the advanced tab you can select run as administrator. I did that hoping that would allow the updates to install and not fail but all it did is whenever I open any pdf file now I get the UAC popup and have to say yes to open it.
    Is there anyway to undo what I did to reader buy clicking run as administrator?
    I do not want to get the UAC everytime I open a pdf file.  I also DON'T want to turn off the UAC completely as a work around.

  • Need help troubleshooting issues with Adobe Reader X

    Hello,
    Recently our company upgraded multilpe computers to Reader X.  Initially we installed version 10.1.0.  Ever since our users on X have been experiencing problems.  We are seeing three different issues.
    1) A user will fill out the PDF and click print.  At that point a popup appears with the message "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  The user has the choice to click on Debug or Close.  Clicking Debug doesn't appear to do anything.
    2) Clicking on a PDF in internet explorer will launch Adobe Reader and a progress bar shows on the screen indicating that the PDF is loading.  The progress bar goes away and the user is left looking at a grey screen.
    3)  When attempting to open a PDF the user recieves this message "The instruction at "0x00720065" referenced memory at "0x00720065" . The memory could not be "written."
    In every situation the only way to get past the problems is a restart of the PC.
    As an attempt to resolve the issue we tried upgrading several users to Reader version 10.1.3.  This was done by completely uninstalling version 10.1.0 and then installing 10.1.3.  This did not have any effect on the problems.
    Can anyone here offer and suggestions?
    Thank you

    Hello,
    1. The OS on which you are seeing these issues.
    Windows XP SP3
    2. The method of deployment of the 10.1.3 update. Was it done via SMS/GPO/SCUP?
    Originally 10.1.0 was installed remotely using a program PSEXEC.  Once the errors began occurring 10.1.0 was uninstalled manually and 10.1.3 was installed using a copy from your ftp site.
    3. Can you try and update any one of your systems to the latest version of Reader i.e. Reader 10.1.4 and see if it solves the problem.
    We have upgraded one machine to 10.1.4 using the Check for Updates function within Reader 10.1.3 and are looking for any ongoing issues.
    4. Which browser are you using to render the PDFs. Is the issue seen with internal links alone or with all links. Can you try and see if the following opens on one of the faulty machine: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Re leaseNote_10.1.3.pdf<http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf>
    We are using IE 8.  The issues are seen with both internal and external links as well as stand alone PDFs.  No one could open the link you sent but we could open: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/kb/en/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Releas eNote_10.1.3.pdf on a faulty machine.
    5. If suggestion# 3 doesn't work, can you also try and uninstall the installation on any one of the machines manually (i.e. via Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features depending upon your OS) and install a fresh copy of Reader 10.1.3 (from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/en_US/AdbeRdr1013 enUS.exe<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/en_US/AdbeRdr1013_en_US.exe>) and see if it solves the problem. If it does, then it may be an issue with the Deployment methodology followed.
    Already tried this.  See answer to suggestion #2

  • I had a Microsoft tech access my computer remotely to resolve issues with my hotmail acct. There were files that needed to be deleted and he also changed some settings.   Later, when I tried to open InDesign I received the following error:  AMT Subsystem

    I had a Microsoft tech access my computer remotely to resolve issues with my hotmail acct. There were files that needed to be deleted and he also changed some settings.
    Later, when I tried to open InDesign I received the following error:
    AMT Subsystem Failure
    The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support.
    I rebooted the computer and tried again:
    Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.
    I can access Acrobat and MS Office programs, it's just the CS3 programs that I can't access. Can I uninstall and then reinstall CS3 without an access (un-lock) code?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    You can use java mapping for your requirement. The key is to convert the inputStream into String and then use a find/replace that value and then write to outputStream afterwards.
    Here is a sample code using PI 7.1 API:

  • TS3899 Has anyone else had issues with the mail app after downloading the 6.1.2 update on their iphone 5?

    After downloading the 6.1.2 update on my iphone 5, the mail app won't even open, nor will the mail settings in the settings section. Has any one else had this problem, if so is there a way to fix it?

    I've updated two iPhone 3GS to iOS6.1.2. Both no longer work with Hotmail. Tried deleting account followed by a reset. Both still stuck trying to verify account for about 5mins before failing to verify account information. Giving up at this point as I cannot bill Apple for the hours spent so far trying to fix this. Lately I'm spending more and more time resolving issues with Apple software iOS and OSX ML. Apple's reputation is falling rapidly. Such a pity.
    Moved to Safari trying to log in over a web browser. That failed as well. Cleared the cache and cookies followed by a reset. Enabled accept cookies to Always and then was able to log in to hotmail and see emails through Safari.
    I realise that 3GS is relatively older technology but iOS 6 has not been good to this platform. Everything runs slower than before and there are bugs I'm seeing that are not in the public domain. It's not a hardware fault as my wife's phone is behaving the same way. She's not too pleased either IMHO.
    These issues are not happening on Ipad after applying the same update.

  • OS X 10.10.1 Apple Mail reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers

    Apple Mail(8.1) reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers on my iMac and Laptop Pro with the new Yosemite update!  Spent 1.5hrs with the virgin team (thought we solved it by changing from Auto to one minute update) only to find on return I still have an issue with Mail!  On the iMac the account opens and I see all the mail arriving. When I switch over and the back, days of recent mail have disappeared?
    If I search for one I saw, It is found?
    On the Laptop Pro, its similar, but it also has a problem remembering the outgoing port no matter how often I save it keeps going back to port 143 and this makes the send fail each time?
    Will I have to move to another mail client or is their a fix coming?

    Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

  • Having issues with Yahoo mail on ios4 on a 3GS

    Is anyone else experiencing issues with Yahoo mail on their 3GS after the upgrade to ios4?? Keep getting an imap server error, but gmail works fine.

    Same problem. I have two Yahoo! Mail accounts. One stopped sending mail, while the other was fine. (Both could receive, however.) To solve that, I deleted the problematic account from the phone and reinstalled it. It worked... until I synced by iPhone with iTunes. Now both Yahoo! Mail accounts will not work, and deleting them and reinstalling them does nothing.
    Apple had better fix this. (Or I'll whine louder.)

  • Love the X2 except for 3 main issues which I need help or clarification with

    Hi Everyone, I have pretty much copied and pasted my post from the Motorola forums (with a few minor edits) over here as I do need a little bit of help or insight on my issue.
    I have scoured through the Droid X section trying to find solutions to my problems and I haven't been able to get a solid answer anywhere (here or on other Android/X2 forums).
    I have an X2. I really like this phone. It is solid and has crystal clear sound quality. However, ever since I have had it I have seen intermittent issues pop up and I would like to get some feedback on them or get things put into perspective that it is a known glitch in the interface between the Android OS and the hardware. I bought the phone at Best Buy and every time I bring it in (either back to Best Buy or a Verizon store), as the issue is intermittent, they won't replace the phone. The people at Best Buy have told me to "do a battery pull every morning" which completely offends me as I never had to do anything so drastic with my original Droid until it finally decided to reboot on me every 2 hours (this is when I upgraded to the X2). I had to pick it up from Best Buy as I needed a functional phone immediately and no Verizon store in the area had the X2 in stock.
    The first (and most important issue)... Every once in a while, even though I have full signal, when somebody calls me, my phone will not ring or vibrate. It will ring the full six times on their end but does not show up on my phone as ever receiving or missing the call. After the six rings on their end, it goes to voicemail and after they leave the message, only the voicemail indicator shows up. Over the past month this has happened multiple times (once or twice a week). Those who don't leave messages have had to hunt me down because they thought I had left my phone elsewhere as it never rang or notified me of an incoming call.
    The next two issues are still important to me but they are more of an inconvenience than anything else.
    Sometimes (yes, this is intermittent too but it happens daily), when I wake my phone from sleep, all of the antennas seem to be off and it takes a good second or two to show back up in the status bar (3G, Bluetooth, etc). My question is, have all of the non-CDMA antennas "gone to sleep"? The signal bar for the actual cell service are still there, just not the other services (3G/1X) or wireless settings (Bluetooth/WiFi) for a couple seconds.
    Lastly (and this may be a direct link to the previous question), when I use the "Google Talk" application, the messages I send go through very quickly, but sometimes I do not get replies for a long time after they are sent (30 minutes to and hour later). If I wake the phone, sometimes a previously sent message will come through, and when I check the chat log in Gmail itself, the message was sent from quite a while back (15 minutes to an hour).
    I know I am brand new to your community, and I am sorry to have to burden you all with a post like this as my initial post. However, I have always liked and used Motorola phones with Verizon/GTE (all the way back to the MicroTAC series of the early 90s) without issues or incidents for the most part. As my original Droid was starting to act up I decided to jump on the X2 as it was just released. I understood that it was not going to initially come with Gingerbread and I said I would be patient for the update to come and hopefully it would bring a new level to the phone itself as well as solve some (if not all) of the issues. However, now that it is past my return date, and there is no update as of yet, I do require assistance.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance or insight,
    Tuan

    Thanks for the replies everyone.
    The responses I received over at the Moto forums said the same thing about the battery saver mode. However, I have had the same issue with the radios shutting off during the day while it is in "Nighttime savings mode" so I'm just thinking it's an oddball glitch with the phone's power management settings and clock. I have recently changed the battery mode to "Performance Mode" from Nighttime Savings" as I have the phone plugged into the charger at night anyways. I'm hoping that will take care of both my radio and gtalk issues.
    @Wildman: I have heard the same thing about the GB update from a Verizon rep very recently myself. I am still going to hope for an update sometime in the near future, but I do recall the first update for my Original Droid was months down the line from the release day.
    @Droiddude: Are you just cycling the power? Or are you actually doing physical battery pulls? If cycling the power works for you it would lessen the burden of pulling that Incipio case (Verizon Double Cover) off my phone every time to do battery pulls. It's a great case but wow it's a tight/snug fit.
    @vereyezuhn: I understand that there are possible dead areas in which my main issue may occur. I even have a prepaid phone for the times I am in a Verizon dead zone. However, when my issue occurs, I will be in the same spot for a while. I will receive all my calls, miss one in the manner I have spoken, then receive the following calls normally (SMS/MMS does not seem to be affected either as I seem to receive all of those). This is why I have this specific issue. I have recently cleared the phone's cache partition as well as update the PRL using *228 option 2. We will see over time if this eliminates the issue or at least makes it much more rare.
