Inbound SMTP rejects all messages.

Hi,
In short: after a clean install i can't receive any mail anymore...
Let me start by saying that I’m not an IT professional, just a hobbyist with only limited knowledge on server specific subjects. I trust i must be doing something totally simple totally wrong.
I have my own domainname, and i run a small network with Apple, Linux and Windows machines. This network is connected to the internet via adsl router/modem.
About a year ago i installed a copy of OS X Server 10.4 on a Mac Mini. Due to my inexperience i made some ‘strange’ choices during installation but got everything up and running. Now that i’ve gained a bit more experience with OS X Server i wanted to do a clean install more tailored to my needs.
The Mini is now configured as a standalone server running windows file service, www and mail. As an experiment i switched of dns and dhcp on the router and let OS X handle these too.
On the previous installation i switched off outbound smtp to avoid the risk of unknowingly creating an open relay, and only used the server for incoming mail. It worked without a problem.
The newly installed server handles outbound smtp as well, and that works fine. The problem i run into is with inbound smtp connections: all mail gets rejected, 554 Relay access denied.
I have a dns provider, and the dns record has a MX entry pointing at my external ip address. The router has NAT configured to route traffic on ports 25, 110 and 143 to the Mini. Nothing changed there, and it seems to work without a problem.
The dns server running on the Mini is for name resolution on the local network. The router and the server are pingable by name, and the server is marked to handle the mail for this zone. Seems to work.
Here’s part of the smtp log file, replaced all ‘@’ with ‘#’.
Sep 25 12:57:26 minimac postfix/smtpd[3231]: connect from smtp-vbr3.xs4all.nl[194.109.24.23]

‘test’ Is of course an existing user, with mail access enabled in the workgroup manager.
After finding a similar problem with Google i edited the main.cf file to include the external ip address as a proxy, but that didn’t help.
I spent some time searching through other threads here but couldn't find anything helpfull. Any bright ideas would be very much appreciated!

Open up relay access from within the SMTP preferences (via Server Admin) for clients in your local network. Probably korteweg.com, the IP address range(s) used within your network, and localhost 127.0.0.1. There's a recent Squirrelmail/Webmail discussion around that discusses 127.0.0.1.
I'd probably plug POP/110 and IMAP/143 on the external-side firewall, and would consider open up squirrelmail/webmail or an encrypted connection (eg: ports SMTPS/465, IMAPS/993, POP3S/SPOP/995) into your server if remote access into your mail server is needed.
Your SMTP server would connect into the next mail server via port 25 (and thus that needs to be open); mail clients tend to use 110 and 143. If you have no clients using your mail from the outside, opening these will simply attract riff-raff.

  • SMTP routing all messages to Postmaster to Root and then null...

    Anyone got any idea what might be causing this...?
    Have a very simple OS X Server.  Until upgrading to Server 3 / 10.9 it all worked fine.  Then, after upgrade, I stopped getting mail on the Postmaster account.
    Digging into SMTP log shows that server is simply forwarding all mail to postmaster to the root account, and then forwarding those messages to the null device.
    Here is a lightly obscured entry from the log illustrating:
    Oct 29 22:00:52 www.abc.xyz postfix/local[46314]: 4D5091253EA8: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to file: /dev/null)
    I have no idea why it is doing this, but would very much like it to stop!  Called Applecare and they didn't know anything - suggested I read the 'advanced administration manual for Server 3' - which I did.  But doesn't contain anything meaningful on this topic.
    Any help anyone can offer would be most appreciated!

    Thanks for the info. That's stopped the messages being forwarded from root to the null device, but they are still being sent to the root account - not sure how to access these messages (as there is no obvious way to access the mail forwarded to root account: there is no 'root' account defined for the mail server).
    Here is an example of the messages concerning this in the log...
    Oct 30 11:33:18 www.abc.xyz postfix/pipe[36354]: 761F612672E3: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.04, delays=0.01/0/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service)
    Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.

  • I can't send photos from my canon image browser. I keep getting the message, SMTP rejected my password. Why?

    When trying to send photos I keep getting the message: "SMTP rejected the password" Why does this occur?

    When SMTP uses passwords, usually the username has to be the e-mail address itself.  Just the plain user on its own won't cut it for most SMTP servers.

  • Find all messages rejected beacuse of size

    Hi,
    What’s good way to get all messages that are rejected based on Size of attachment?
    I tried to grep some, but all results are pretty useless.

    Did you see/try this TechNote:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/email-security-appliance/118494-technote-esa-00.html
    Determine Large Messages or Message Size in the Mail Logs for the ESA
    From the CLI, use grep to find the size of large messages that have processed through the ESA and have been written into the mail logs.
    Message size is based on the message headers, the body of the message, and then any attachments associated to the mail message. All three components of the message will total up to comprise the total bytes of that mail message in the mail logs.

  • How can I redirect all messages to 2 another mail servers?

    Hi all
    ./imsimta version
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
    libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
    I wanted to redirect all messages(in and out) to another mail server, I configured as follows,
    - imta.cnf
    ! tcp_local
    tcp_local smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
    ! tcp_intranet
    tcp_intranet smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
    - backother.filter
    require ["fileinto"];
    if address :all :matches ["From"]["*"]{
    redirect "[email protected]";
    keep;
    stop;
    One e-mail account receives all messgaes and those messages will be kept in sender's or receiver's mail storage.
    I want , however, redirect all messages 2 or 3 mail servers.
    I tried several things to do this include edit backother.filter(this is written in Sieve ), but I failed.
    Is there any way to redirect messages to another mail servers?
    Any way would be good , using sieve script, make antoher channel or channel keyword
    Thanks

    Redirecting the message means it will not be delivered to the original recipient.I know so I wrote 'keep' keyword to deliver messages to the original recipient.
    capture "[email protected]";
    I tested it but the capture's behavior was very weird, subject had changed to something like,'deliverd status notice', sender had changed to postmaster and additional notice messgae inserted into mail body.The default sieve capture action encapsulates the email to keep a copy of both the envelope information and the original message. MS7u3 also supports the Exchange journal encapsulation format through the addition of the ":journal" parameter.
    I edited 'capture' like this..
    capture :message "[email protected]";
    The ":message" flag removes the encapsulation -- therefore you will have no idea of who the original sender/recipients were as the envelope information has been discarded.
    It worked fine. It was same as the result of 'redirect'.
    but the following line, sent10 messages to each recipients.(receive_01,receive_02)
    capture :message "[email protected],[email protected]";
    maybe there was some 'loop' actions happened.The email produced by the capture sieve action is being "captured" which is resulting in a loop. You can stop this by adding an envelope test e.g.
    require ["envelope"];
    if not envelope :is ["to"] ["[email protected]","[email protected]"]
            capture :message "[email protected]";
            capture :message "[email protected]";

  • SMTP store Driver: Message submitted to categorizer

    Hi,
    I have Ms Exchange 2003 sp2 running on Windows Server 2003 sp2. It started just today when users ( so far I know of two) send an email to a distribution list in outlook 2007, some of the users in the distribution list receive them, and others don't. On one
    of these particular machines I have tried the same email a few times and the same users in the distribution list receive the email every time however, the other users in the distribution list don't. The sender's email is also in the distribution list but never
    gets the email. if the user sends the email only to him self, it works. 
    So I started the investigation by looking at Message Tracking center where I realized that among the distribution list the same users kept getting the email while the others don't. This Exchange server has no email virus checking or anything  else special
    on it. 
    I see
    SMTP store driver: Message submitted from store
    SMTP: Message submitted to Advanced Queuing
    SMTP: started Message Submission to Advanced Queue
    SMTP: Message Submitted to Categorizer
    and there is nothing more...no ndr's, no errors, it's like the message is lost in cyber company space.
    Can someone please help me to figure what's going on and why and most of all how to fix this issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Please try to check "Directory Access" following the steps below.
    1. Open ESM, expand "Servers", right click on the server and select "Properties", click "Directory Access", select "Global Catalog Servers" from the dropdown and uncheck "Automatically discover servers" and add the GC manually.
    2. Then please restart Exchange services.
    If the issue persists, to narrow down the issue, I recommend you enable diagnostic logging for Message Categorizer. To enable diagnostic logging for Message Categorizer, you can do this.
    1.Start Registry Editor: From the Start menu, click Run, and then type regedit.
    2.In Registry Editor, locate and right-click the following registry key value, and then click Edit:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ MSExchangeTransport\Diagnostics\Categorizer
    3.Set the value to 7.
    Then you can check the message tracking log to troubleshoot messages that are stuck in the categorizer.
    Besides that, here is a related article for your reference.

    Some inbound callers receive the message "call cannot be completed as dialed" , "unavailable number", or "non-working number" when trying to call on my iPhone5. Has anyone else experienced this, and what was solution? AT&amp;T  is my carrier, they have network engrs. working on it, but no fix yet. Had problem since day one of phone receipt, Apple has replaced phone once, same problem.

    You could be having a drive collision with another device on your computer. Connect your Shuffle to a rear port on your computer, then connect your keyboard and mouse. Disconnect ALL other USB devices including printers, thumb drives, scanners, modems, digital cameras, external hard drives, infinite improbability drives, etc. If you are on a network, disconnect from the network.
    Now change the drive letter on your iPod. Use something much higher like M or P or Z, unless you have another device that uses this letter:

  • SMTP Email Send Message Error

    When I using SMTP Email Send Message in Labview 8.0 to send an email message and I get a error message as bellow:
    Error 16500 occurred at 500 5.5.1 Command unrecognized: "MIME-Version: 1.0"
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW:  (Hex 0x4074) 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized. For example, the command line might be too long.
    Where the mistake and how to solve this error to send an email by Labview 8.0.
    Thank you.

    A couple of things. If you don't know what mail server you are using, you definitely need to get a hold of a network administator to see which one you use. Checking the mail server is a thing specific to the mail server itself, in other words there is no specific way that applies to them all. The example below requirs FDS 7.0 so if you don't have full developement system, it won't work. The handset question would be a great one to ask in another thread. I suggest also searching our website for information on that one as well. Hope that answers your questions.

  • Error:System rejects all logons using SSO tickets:RRMX

    Hi,
       I have created a System in my portal which connects to the BW system.I am able to execute the transaction RSA1 by creating a transaction iview which connects to the system created above but when i try to execute RRMX in a transaction iview i get an error displaying a message : System rejects all logons using SSO tickets.
    The transaction iview uses WinGUI.
    Please let me know if anyone has the solution for this.
    ThanksInAdvance,
    Varma.

    Hi Rajendra,
    I guess you need rrmx access to change the queries ? i that is the case did you guys try role "com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase" which has Bex web analyzer, where in you can create or modify queries in Java built in iviews. Have a look at that and hope it might be useful.
    Thanks,

  • Auth.log - Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call"

    Hi,
    i'm checking the /var/log/auth.log and I found out that there is this error message

    if think the problem is in /etc/dbus-1/system.conf
    <deny send_type="method_call"/>
    I'm tempted to change this to allow,  but I won't as long as I don't understand why this deny-rule is implemented.
    Last edited by miky76 (2012-06-09 20:41:06)

    That deny rule is the default. Things in /etc/dbus-1/system.d override it. There's a ConsoleKit.conf file in there that describes what interaction ConsoleKit actually allows.
    That said, ConsoleKit.conf also denies this access:
    <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit"
    send_interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" />
    I don't know why this is denied - most likely it's to prevent private data from being stolen from console-kit-daemon in this way. I don't see any such private data stored in properties on ConsoleKit, though:

    Note those properties at the end of that list, which are the same things you can learn by running ck-list-session.
    If you want to change the deny to allow, you may as well do it in the ConsoleKit.conf line, so it's specific to this usage, rather than allowing any method call in the world called through dbus.
    FWIW, I can reproduce this same error, trying to do it "by hand", though I don't use GNOME, as you do:
    $ dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll string:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Session

  • Mail downloads all messages– how to stop it

    Using OS 10.9.1 now, but this behavior is for previous OS versions, as well.
    I use Mail with Yahoo IMAP, and it downloads all messages to my hard drive. Can I set it not to do that? The preferenences are set to " Check for new messages manually" and have been for years, but it still downloads every message. Is the "checking" process independent of the downloading of messages? I kind of thought I could control these two processes. In other words, can I set Mail to download only the messages that are less than one year old or to show the messages, but not download them? I know I can use the web to view without downloading, but here in China, the web is sometimes "off" for Yahoo, while a mail client can still show Yahoo email, so it is often necessary to use the Mail app to see email. I just don't need them saved to my hard drive.

    I was searching to see if Apple Mail and Yahoo Imap downloads everything when I came across your post!   While I like that, it would be good if someone could tell us where the setting/option is for it.
    Perhaps in Yahoo itself?  Nah!  That doesn't make sense.  It should be on the client side (if I have my terminology correct!)
