IMPOSSIBLE TO USE A GROUPED MAIL IN A SCHEDULING ACTION

Hello Everybody,
I am currently facing a problem while trying to schedule a report.
In fact, when I use a simple mail like '[email protected]', the report is well sent.
However, when I use a grouped email like '[email protected]', the people doesn't receive the email. In BO, all seems ok, there are no erros in the schedule history of the report and every services are OK.
When I use any other kind of software (outlook, talend, ect..) to send data thought this mail list , it works everytime.
There is no particular configuration in the SMTP server.
Does anyone here know why it doen't work with BO ?
I work with BO XI 3.1.
Thanks for your help!

Are the users in CMC? If they are, Follow below steps.
Create users and while creating the users add the email address of respective user.
Add the users in a group.
Go to the report and right click>Schedule.
Add the group in 'Schedule For'
Under Schedule> Destinations select Email.
Update the information and in 'TO' specify %SI_EMAIL_ADDRESS%
Schedule the report.

How to create a group mailing list in JavaMail?

Hello,
I've been searching through the entire API, specifically the InternetAddress class and I can't seem to find out how to create a group/mailing list. Does anyone know how to do this?
That is, I would like to be able to group a bunch of e-mail addresses together and give that group a name "my friends". Then send it off using this 'group mail address' as opposed to an array of InternetAddress[]. Then when the recipients receive the e-mail, they see "my friends" in the To: field, instead of everyone's e-mail address...
Is this possible in JavaMail? I've tried many things like creating an InternetAddress object passing in a comma-delimited list of e-mail addresses but it doesn't like it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi:
I have the same problem. I've read JavaMail implements RFC 822 which allow mailing lists. But, �how can I implement it with JavaMail?
Best regards,

Group Mailer ~ There is no outgoing Mail message. (-2700)

Hi
I am attempting to use the group mailer function in automator.
I have tried a variety of different work arounds with the same effect.
The process I have created has four stages:
1) Get Specified Address Book Items
2) Group Mailer
3) Get Specified Mail Items
4) Send Outgoing Messages
I have tinkered with the order of stages and with the 'ignore previous results' as suggested on other forums - all to no avail.
The Action reaches Stage 2 (Group Mailer) and then stops with the error message There is no Outgoing Mail Message (-2700).
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thank you, in advance
Adam

There are a few other refinements that could be added:
1) Avoiding the asking if attachments want to be added by checking whether there were any assigned in the Automator "Get Specified Finder Items" dialog;
2) There is a rather annoying bounce/notification by Automator after the initial "New Mail Message" action. Gathering all the information first and then creating a template with the "New Mail Message" action would avoid this annoyance. Unfortunately, as you know, I am using that action as a quick way to gather the subject, message, and account information.
3) Rename the actions by using a Ctrl click on the action title bar to more clearly indicate what information is being requested in the dialogs.

Hi,
I have used the group mailing list feature and the group web service maillist archive.
In both cases the Mail service must be running. I set up the General panel to Enable POP and IMAP because I have users on those services. I did not Enable SMTP because I used my ISP for outgoing. I don't think you need IMAP or POP for teamsserver mail because no mailbox is created for that user by cyrus or postfix.
In the Relay panel set to accept SMTP relays from 127.0.0.1 and your server IP.
Use junk mail rejection from zen.spamhaus.org
In the Mailing lists panel Enable server group mailing list.
In the Advanced panel -> Hosting ensure you have a local host alias set for your groups domain.com
Group mailing list can be setup in WGM with Enable Mailing list for the group.
Group Mailing list web archive will only work when wiki/blogs are setup for the group.

TS3276 Difficulties using Stationary in Mail: Cannot save to send separately to multiple email addresses or groups. Some recipients do not see the whole email- bottom is cut off. Anyone else wrestling with this?

Using Stationary in Mail:
How can you save to resend to additional emails or groups? When you hit SAVE where is it saved to? SAVE AS is not an option.
I have received complaints that only Half the message was received. Is Stationary not compatible with all mail programs or operating systems?

Using Group Mail - Automator Performs Unwanted Step

Here is an interesting side effect...
I've got an automator action that I've saved as an application to e-mail to a small group of people. The actions perform perfectly except for one small problem. Whenever I run the app the system goes through its process and then after all the mail is sent my address book gets wiped clean.
Anyone ever have this happen? What did you do to resolve the problem?
I learned to backup my address book so it isn't a problem restoring it. But this seems completely unnecessary.
Any feedback that helps solve the problem would be great.
Thank you,
Joseph
Work Flow is as follows:
1 - New Mail Message (Message is Composed; with no addresses specified)
2 - Find People In Address Book (Setup to find people in a Group)
3 - Group Mailer (Add Greeting Checked)
4 - Send Outgoing Message
5 - Ask for Confirmation (Set to ask if I want to run the Work Flow again)
6 - Run Work Flow (Set to Run this Same Work Flow again from the beggining)

I've just run through the workflow and sure enough it ate the group that I'd selected. After playing around with it some it looks as though the problem as to do with the order of steps 4 and 5 -
Change it to the following and it should work fine:
4- Ask for Confirmation message (set to +Ignore Results from Previous Action+)
5- Send Outgoing Message (set to +Ignore Results from Previous Action+)
I didn't use step 6

Sending group mail using comcast

I have been working for two days trying to send out a group mail notifying my friends that I have a new Comcast mail address. I have spoken with 3 Comcast techs who have verified that I have my accounts set up properly. I try sending a group mail and it says that it, "cannot send message using the server smtp.comcast.net. The server response was (suspend) the mailbox is currently unavailable -please contact correspondent directly. If I send out more than one address at a time it will not function.
Please help!!!

Does the same occur when manually adding more than one email address to the To: field - not using a Group?

TS3276 how do you send an e-mail to multiple recipient's using a group listing

Add the names to a group created in address book. When you send a message, type the group name in the TO, CC, or BCC field of a new message.
Note: group messaging is not supported on the iPad or iPhone.

WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
Replying to Toad-Hall:
I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

Group Mail, Mailman and archives

Im confused. I have a mailman list I want to migrate to Leopard Server. Id like to let the listers have a wiki. Ive set up the group, and the wiki and I see it. (i have other problems with that but ignoring them for the minute)
Will poste to my mailman list be the mail archive?
If so can I migrate my old archive somewhere to make sure the old data is still searchable.
Or, is a mailman list completely separate from a group mailing list.
Like I said. Im confused.
If this is all explained somewhere please point me. Ive looked for doc and searched - probably not enough.
thanks
Angus

Hi
"It seems that group mail introduced in previous Snow Leopard Server, it's gone. There is mailman, but I don't need a mailing list , just a simple mail grooup functionality. It's impossible to do in Lion Server?"
Actually Group e-mailing was available in previous versions of the Server. It's not impossible to do in Lion Server either. It's just not obvious if you want to use the interface. There's not much documentation regarding this either.
These two threads (you could have searched this for yourself) should have the information you need:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3518290?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3229060?start=0&tstart=0
There's also a way of doing this using WorkGroup Manager's Info Tab.
You should get into the habit of using the command line on OS X Server - the Terminal application in /Applications/Utilities - as this is the most effective way for you to get what you want, especially with the Mail Service.
The other Server Administration applications (which you may not be aware of?) are available for free download here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1488
You will need Server Admin to initially configure the Mail Service properly. As ever remember to set up DNS Services correctly as everything you want or may want will depend on it.
HTH?

Is it possible to install an SMTP proxy that will handle splitting group mail?

I am running OS X 10.9.3 with Server 3.1.2 on a Mac-Mini Mid-2012. I learned on my last implementation of OS X 10.9.3 that Mavericks sometimes has issues with handling group mail. As I rebuild my network, I am wondering if it is possible to install a SMTP proxy that can receive, process, then forward mail on to the primary mail server.
For example, if mail is sent to a group account, this SMTP proxy would repackage the message as a message to a carbon copy list of all the group members, but if the mail is sent to a user account, the mail is forwarded unmodified. Like this:
As an alternative to this, I would also be interested a solution in which the Linux Mail Server referenced the Open Directory for account information, including password authentication, so that if a user in the Mac Network updates his password, that he can use the same password to access his mail on a webmail client or via the Mail.app.
This is a callout for discussion points, ideas and recommendations. There is no problem here to fix necessarily.

I am not aware of a tool to do the group splitting for you, this is normally the responsibility of the mail server itself.
However with regards to your second query, a lot of people use a product called Kerio Connect instead of Apple's Mail server. Kerio can run on the same Mac server but in general is a far more powerful mail server. It does include the ability to authenticate user accounts against Open Directory.
There is one issue you need to be aware of, like nearly all mail servers it uses the 'username' as the main email address, so if you want an email account of [email protected] then your Open Directory short name need to be jsmith, if you want your email address to be [email protected] then your user short name needs to be john.doe and so on.
Note: While I have specifically talked about Kerio most other mail server including those for Linux would be able to link to Open Directory via LDAP and authenticate email accounts. The same link between email address and short name would usually apply.

How can I import my Google Contacts to use with Apple Mail?

Google's GMail user interface has become impossible to use. Its most important and useful features are either hidden or have been removed. I want to change to use Apple Mail to retrieve email from my Google account, to answer that email, and to compose new messages.
To compose new messages, I need to be able to use my Google Contacts (created one by one as I've used GMail in the past). I could either "set things up" so that Mail would access my Google Contacts or I could import my Google Contacts to a Mail address book. How do I accomplish one or the other?
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi David C. Murray!
There are a couple of methods for accomplishing this goal. First, you could always export your Google contacts in vCard format and then import them into Contacts on your computer:
Contacts (Mavericks): Export and import contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15080
The other option is to set your Google contacts to automatically sync with your Contacts app on your computer:
Contacts (Mavericks): About Contacts accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15070
Contacts can manage your contact information from other accounts, such as Facebook and Google. Just add those accounts (choose Contacts > Add Account), and you’ll have access to all your current contact information from anywhere.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

Why can't I use my normal mail account for synching notes

Hi there,
I maintain my father's iDevices/computers as he has Parkinsons and does not understand the technology behind how these services work. I need to maintain as simple a configuration as possible. As an example calendaring is difficult as new entries are not necessarily put in the calendar he uses and I have to talk him through how to show all calendars on a regular basis. I can't have his mail on IMAP as he cannot manage his mail and his mailbox fills up. I can't simply pay for storage ad infinitum - my local copy of his mail is about 6 GB and growing.
I have seen several discussions where it is clear that we *must* use an icloud.com e-mail account for synching notes via IMAP, but none of them have explained WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
I see that it is referred to as an "icloud account" but if I have to enable mail, it becomes an e-mail account, which I do not want as it will be confusing if there is an issue with the main mail server (which I maintain) it will present an option to use the icloud.com e-mail as a valid option to send the mail.
I do not turn on the mail option in icloud.. (only calendar, contacts, reminders and find my iphone). I find it dissapointing that this is now what seems to be a "requirement".

thecpat wrote:
WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
That is absolutely unnecessary, but more convenient to have icloud to sync your notes. I use other IMAPs as well and can sync my notes with google and yahoo and icloud(corresponding email is required in all cases). It is your choice and you can pick your poison, but you will find out that icloud is more convenient after you or him will lose his info few times. There is no requirement, you can even use the group that will not sync with anything "on my device" if you disable all of IMAPS. Icloud is just the one that you can call Apple and normally people prefer to work with Apple support way more then with google's or yahoo's, but that is again up to your preference.

I dont receive e-mails with attachment sent to OS X Server 3.0.1 Group-mailing lists

I have a small company using a mac mini with mavericks and server 3.0.1.
We are using most of the services available in OS X server (except DHCP, Netinstall and Xsan). One of the services we use the most is Mail server, and the whole company uses that as our primary mail server.
We have set up several different Groups and activated group-mailing lists on some of them. The setup has been working very good for over a year (started using it with Mountain Lion Server).
Recently I was going to send a christmas card to all employees using the workgroup mailing list. I was using the stationaries in Mail, and it was sent as normal but never recieved by me or any of the other employees. Below is the SMTP Log
Dec 6 17:10:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: connect from unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*]

Dec 6 17:11:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: disconnect from unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*]
I did some trial and error and it seems like it is linked to the fact that I have attachments to the email. Sending an email with only text is recieved like normal. Even attacment like PDF or jpg is "blocked" it seems. I have tried using email outside my domain but still the same result. Sending the same email (with attachment) to all reciepients (not using the mailiing list) works and is recieved by everyone. I have turned off all email filtering settings on the server but still the same result.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? My guess is that this is a Server 3.0.1 hickup, so it would be nice to get confirmation from others experiencing the same.

Automator w/ Group Mailer Truncating Messages

I am attempting to send out an email to every person in my Address Book who has an email. I created a smart group in Address Book and am using that to send my messages. I am going to be getting married and I would like to announce the dates when those are set. I am also having a child and would love to email everyone when it's time.
I can get the people I need to get. The problem is the mail message gets shorter and shorter every time a new message is created eg:
To:[email protected]
Body: "Hey guess what.... Blah Blah Blah"
To:[email protected]
Body: " guess what.... Blah Blah Blah"
To:[email protected]
Body:" lah Blah"
My workflow looks like this:
1. New Message
2. Find People whose group = has email
3. Group Mailer
4. Send Message

Not sure why you would need to use Automator. Why not just send a single email out using the group as the addressee and hide the addresses?
To send emails to a group and hide group member names and addresses when sending a message to a group created in Address Book do the following.
1. Open Mail and choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" and close Mail Preferences.
Then when you send an email to a group, only the group name will be seen.
