Incoming SMTP issue with an ASA5512-X

I have reviewed numerous support discussions on this particular issue, but I am still unable to properly configure my ASA 5512-X to receive SMTP email. I can send email, and have access to all other services that I setup. I did create a network object for my Mail server and I am fairly certain this issue has something to do with my static NAT setup.
My current configuration is listed below...any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to the Cisco ASA appliance, and I am learning CLI as I go. I also have ADSM setup.

SMTP issues with XO

I am having trouble sending email using my concentric (xo) account when I am not using them as an ISP. I followed their instructions (http://hostinghelp.xo.com/email-macosx.php?id=xo.com) plus I have changed to port to 587.
When I try to send email I get an error message (The server response was: <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found).
The XO help desk told me, "Mac Mail 2.1 does not support the ability to specify @domain.com as part of authentication on the SMTP server. It will work on the incoming mail server, but causes errors with the application when tried for an SMTP server." They suggested Entourage as an alternative.
Is there a solution to this issue?
I'm running 10.4.8, Mail 2.1 on a 15" PowerBook.
BTW, I posted this on the OSX 10.3 and earlier > Mail &
Address Book thread by mistake. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=868676)

Hello Chuck.
If I'm reading the SMTP server settings correctly and
the error message provided which indicates your
domain is cnc, the settings should be as follows:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.cnc.com
Authentication: Password
User Name: [email protected]
Password: The account's password.
If I'm reading the SMTP server setting correctly, the
user name for the SMTP server is your entire email
address which the Mail.app does support.
I access an email account with an authenticated SMTP
server that requires the entire email address be used
as the SMTP server user name which works without any
problems.
I tried about every combination of what you suggested and what they suggest in their help (which is confusing and sometimes contradictory). I suspect that it must be possible, but I'm not figuring it out. Thanks for the help.

Iphone SMTP Issues with Apple 10.6 server.

Hi!
I use multiple iphones and blackberries at my place of employment. On the iPhones, sometimes we get errors on sending email, the error saying "The recipient "......@...." was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying".
I am wondering if this has something to do with the provider cell network. I say this because this is not a constant, dependable, consistent error. Additionally, I have multiple authentication methods set up on the server, and changing around the configuration (ie turn ssl off, change from md5 to password) etc will get the phone to work. Then you can change config back to what it was and it will work as well.
Right now I have 2 iphones, configured exactly the same for SMTP, 1 phone approx 1 mile away from where mine is. My phone works, the other does not. I am waiting for the user to bring his phone to me so I can do a side by side comparison.
BTW this is in Vermont and Edge is a Rampant disease here......(IE we are on edge more than 3G)

Allan,
I am not sure that I dont allow that, IE im not sure where to set that(this is for allowing an employee to use a personal account through the authenticated SMTP of the company server). I thought as long as the user was authenticating through SMTP, which IS required, then it would in fact allow you to send whether using a personal or company.
These security settings, for me, were set up out of the box, for the most part and have been pretty happy with the security level. I used common sense and logic when configuring my first Apple mail server, however I would have to go through it again and be more diligent about documenting in order to tell you what I set everything to. I had some help from Apple Support.
Anyway im not sure what the personal accounts settings are, we DO allow employees to set up their own accounts, as long as they provide the configuratiuon and can set up themselves.
This particular case seems to be more user created, not server side issue.
To re-iterate, no relaying here. I send emails to Comcast regularly abuse@ to tell them to stop allowing their business accounts in the US to blast out spam....

Incoming messages issues with Mail application

I'm using an email account attached to my internet company and set up with the "Mail Application" on my Mac. For the past week, When I turn "Mail" on, the Mail Activity window would show me the incoming message in progress, ex: 1 out of 26. The process would move forward showing also the speed of the reception (KB/s) and for no reason it would stop in the middle and stop receiving any email. It would basically freeze and I have to quit Mail by "force quit". If I re-open it again, it would be doing the exact same thing and receiving again the first couple emails, always the same one that I already received and freeze in the middle. I basically can't use Mail at all lately. Any idea to fix this problem?
Thanks

Hi there,
cool, I'm not alone...
I can't remember exactly, when the problem started. I guess it was around the 10.5.2 or 10.5.3 update. Before (also in Leopard) Mail worked fine.
Now I have to do the following procedure to receive an email (note: I have to repeat this for each email):
1. Check, if mail is receiving an email (because it never completes receiving on it's own, I'm never notified of the new email).
2. If Mail is receiving an email (check the Activity window), I have to force quit mail
3. Launch Mail again, immediately hurrying to the Mailbox menu and setting all accounts to offline.
By now, the email has already been received from the server but not internally marked as such, so staying online would result in fetching the same email again – hanging 'afterwards' included.
4. Select the Inbox and open the Get Account Info window by right clicking on the Inbox or pressing cmd + i.
5. Select the corresponding account from the list (I got three POP3 accounts), e.g. the one for which the last email has been received.
6. Manually remove this email (and only this one) from the server.
7. Close the Get Account Info window and take all accounts online again.
8. Check for new mail...
+If I would for example get 4 new emails, I would have to repeat this procedure 4 times.+
Yes, I'm not happy about it.
*I already did the following (using hints from other threads):*
Remove Mail.app, and /Library/Mail/
Installing Mail.app and the /Library/Mail/ folder again from the 10.5.0 DVD using Pacifist.
Updating the former installation with the 10.5.6 Combo update
Installing the Mail Update 10.5.6 afterwards
Removing the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Restart
Launch Mail, setting up all accounts from scratch
Create a new user
Open Mail, setting up a new account
Reset Power Management
*So far, nothing did solve the problem.*
Next would be Archive and Install Mac OS X but I currently don't have the time for that procedure.
I have two Mac Pros (one at work, one at home) who both have this issue.
I believe, it's a bug though and will send this text to Apple via "Provide Mail Feedback" in Mail's Mail menu.

Incoming calls issue with 8800 carbon

Hi I just bought an 8800 carbon but I'm having an answering issue. I can make calls absolutely fine but when receiving calls, it resets my phone (the caller gets a busy tone and the phone goes back to the intro screen & tries to get service again)... No idea what the problem could be. I'm with Fido in Canada. Any suggestions?
Thanks

hey guys I found the problem. It was the name display option with Fido. I removed it from my plan and its all good now!

Issue with SMTP

Hi there,
I've got an issue with my SMTP server. Strange thing that it is no problem to send an original message (new message) but when I'm gonna to reply to a received mail (reply or reply to all), Mail is showing an pop up window with comment that it is not possible to send this message via SMTP.
Any clue on this?
Thanks for your help
-Pat

Thanks for answering so far. Here we go: The full message on the pop up is saying:
+Cannot send message using the server smtp+
+The server “smtp.hispeed.ch” cannot be contacted on the default ports.+
+Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.+
The email provider is hispeed.ch (local provider in my hometown of Basel).
Settings as followed:
Incoming:
Account type: POP
Description: pop.hispeed.ch
email adress: [email protected]
Full Name: my name
Incoming mail server: smtp.hispeed.ch

check at box +use only this server+

SMTP relay authentication issue with DynDNS MailHop Outbound

Hi,
I'm trying to use the SMTP relay functionality of my OS X Server but I get following log message:
Apr 4 21:40:21 mydomain postfix/smtp[7629]: 4EE3686F529: to=<xxxx@xxxxx>, relay=outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71]:465, delay=140731, delays=140130/0.06/600/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation with outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting)
I configured the relay settings in Server-Admin for host: outbound.mailhop.org:465 and added my dyndns username and password.
I would appreciate if someone could help me to figure out what I'm missing.
Thanks

If you're getting a 550 error then it indicates an issue with the SMTP server you're using / how you're connecting to it. Either the mail server you've got configured for SMTP isn't setup to handle email for you, or in addition to setting the server address
in the SMTP settings, you also need to configure it to configure authentication on the email accounts. In the account settings you need to select More settings (I think, I don't have an Outlook 2007 copy to check on), then you'll see an Outgoing
Server tab, within which you can configure the required authentication. It will either be the same as the POP3 login, in which case you can select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server", or if they're different you can enter the specific details that
are required to send.

Issue with customer Incoming Payment

Hi Gurus,
I need your help related to an issue with Incoming customer payment. This is the first time I am doing this Incoming payment set-up. I have odne the payment program set-up for outgoing payments. I need to configure the automatic payment program for incoming payments. After the payment run is successfully executed, we need to create and send Idoc's to the bank. This process of payment run and Idoc creation is being used successfully for outgoing payments.
From configuration side, I have created a new payment method and have set it up for incoming payments. I have selected ACH as format and PPD as format supplement. I did the bank set-up and have assigned a partner profile to it. I have assigned a reference key 17 in the SPRO-> Print->Payment media.
The issue is that when I run the payment run for customer open item, the payment run is successful and the item gets cleared but no Idoc's are being generated. I have entered my House bank and account number in the variant as well. I am getting the following error:
Step 001 started (program SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE, variant &0000000000869
No variants found for format ACH
No Payment Media Created in Format 100
I would really be thankful if you can help me in resolving this issue. I am not sure which step I am missing.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Shalu

Hi Lakshmipathi,
Yes the Document split has been activated. This issue is the specific one. We have different C&F location. Sales happens accross India. Hence we have created the Business area concept for each location to get the location wise balance sheet. I have also activated the zero balancing for Profit center and also Business area so that i can derive the Location wise Balance sheet.
Now the sales invoice has been processed from C&F Location. Customer deposit the Cheque directly to the Head office Bank and not at the C&F Location bank. I don't want to clear the existing open item because 50% of the cheque gets bounced. So i am booking the incoming payment without clearing the open item.
While processing the incoming payment user is entering the C&F location business area in the customer line item (Credit line item) and Head office business area for the Bank line item as the bank is at the Head office so that we can arrive the Balance sheet.
Now system is not deriving the profit center for the customer line item even though the business area wise zero balance has been activated. Recon account field status group has market as optional for profit center but in F-28 i am not able to get the profit center field (Because it is balance sheet item).
The Document type already been configure for Document split and the Recon account also categorised as Customer inthe doc splitting. I don't have any problem with document split other than this issue.
For this issue anything can be done in the document split??
Regards,
Devendran

Rochester/Roadrunner Issues with SMTP Server

Hello. New to Rochester and Roadrunner. I let Mac Mail setup the account but it couldn't resolve the SMTP server on Roadrunner. I can receive but not send. I've played with all of the port and SSL settings and still nothing. It shows my account as "offline". My Comcast account is still on there and a few emails went through, but using the Comcast server for some reason.
I know my password is correct as I've double checked it. I've also pinged the smtp-server.rochester.rr.com. Still won't go.
Any thoughts?

I'm having the same issue with the outgoing mailserver in Rochester. I didn't understand your resolution. Would you please explain further?
Thanks!

Keychain Issue with Entourage SMTP password or port attribute

I am posting this under Using OS X rather than Mail since I do not
use Apple's Mail. The problem is the Microsoft Entourage or something
may be sending bad information to the OS X keychain and this prevents me
from sending mail to my ATT/Yahoo account. The workaround I have
been using to send mail is use the OS X Keychain First Aid repair.
After the repair Entourage will send the message one or two times then
I get the following Keychain verification error note:
Item “pop.att.yahoo.com” has unspecified value for port attribute
Item “smtp.att.yahoo.com” has unspecified value for port attribute
Problems were found; you should choose the Repair option to fix them
Verification failed.
The Repair option corrects the problem until the next message is
sent. I have done everything I can think of to the Entourage v12.1.7
settings and something is still not right.
I am beginning to suspect a Keychain bug or error but have no idea
how to get the correct attribute written to the keychain.
Maybe someone could provide some terminal commands to the will
help me write the correct password and port attribute to the keychain.
I am open to any suggestions to clear being nagged every time I
need to send a message to enter my password. The POP mail works
fine. This seems to be an issue with the password that is required
by the ATT/Yahoo smtp server.

If you are sure your primary account is setup correct (per the above URLs), open
the Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app and go to Keychain Access/Keychain
First Aid and click on the Verify and Repair if necessary.
FYI, Entourage will write errors to the keychain if you have the account setup wrong.
My error (that cause the keychain errors) was I typed in the my ID and password in
the smtp option. Check the box to use the received and do NOT type in the address.
When you save the settings with nothing in the boxes, Entourage will do it for you
and it will work.
I don't know why but it will not work if you type in the info. Just follow the rules
and it will work
Try It!!

SMTP error with entourage 2004 on OS 10.5

I'm running Entourage 2004 on OS 10.5. For the last week we've had an issue with receiving emails. For several days it wouldn't download any, presenting the error "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." (-3259 )
" Halfway into this, it downloaded the bulk of the emails from the days it hadn't connected, but never finished and gave the same error again. Emails can still be sent fine. It's an AOL email account.
It's set up to receive from an IMAP server as imap.aol.com.
It's set up to send from smtp.aol.com, overriding default port with 587, password required.
I started to set up a new account with this email, and when it tried to verify the account settings, the IMAP settings verified fine, but the SMTP settings didn't.
I found one forum that said "smtp.aol.com" had to be changed to "smtp.aol.com:[email protected]"
That didn't work (couldn't find the server)
So...it's sending emails just fine and they even get received by other mail accounts in entourage, but unable to verify the smtp settings for receiving.
Yet it cannot receive emails and verifies imap settings just fine.

Hi Roy,
You have them swapped, SMTP is for Outgoing mail... usually!
For Incoming Mail Server, try: imap.aol.com.

Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help

For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
Hope this helped a bit, Sean

Username: Tried just my username and tried full with @(domainname).com
Password: tried Webmail pass and control panel pass
Again, I have no problems sending with the other two accounts. But I get "could not send message using server mail.(domainname).com" error message. This after the spinning wheel for about 30 seconds.
Now, both the incoming and outgoing server are mail.(domainname).com. I can receive messages through the account just fine. And I can send mail through my Webmail setup at my domain name, too.
I contacted my host (iPowerweb) and they set up a test account and said they are not seeing smtp issues, either.
I recently switched hosts and I was having the same issue with the previous host, too. In fact, I used to be able to send e-mail through my previous host with the same domain, but it just quit working one day.
I do not believe it is a port issue as I am able to send on both 25 and 587.
Previously I just accepted that I wouldn't be able to use Mac Mail to send through my domain. But I am unwilling to accept that fact anymore...
Any ideas folks?
Again, thanks...

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Typically, Port 587 would require at least Password Authentication -- using None as Authentication would not be expected to succeed. If None is the correct setting, then Port 25 would be the necessary Port.
The fact that accounts in the same domain work, is not definitive, in my opinion, since it might be permitted without Authentication, whereas other sending activities might not.
Without regard to blocking, sending with a third party SMTP involves establishing "trust", and trust is either established by Authentication, or by being identified by the venue where your ISP can ensure you are trustworthy, and this typically must require the use of Port 25.
The change might be that as a Spam fighting measure, your ISP has only just now required authentication on Port 587, although I think this has already been nearly universal.

Anyone having issues with Self-Signed SSL-certs on mail servers?

Can't get it to allow connecting via SSL to outgoing mail servers with self-signed certificates. Problem did not exist in earlier versions of OSX as far as I know.

YES. I have a cert from lunarpages, where my accounts are hosted. I'm seeing two issues, and they are different for the different servers at lunarpages:
1. Multiple logins from different machines --> problem
2. Multiple accounts accessing same server --> problem
So, with 1 account on one of lunarpages machines, I can have several machines running Mail with ssl on at the same time and get no problem (that is, once I've saved the certificate and marked it trusted). But as soon as another account (my wife's email on the same domain, for example) tries to access the same server, it gives me an ssl error, a choice to save that cert. and if I do then my account will generate the ssl error. Seems like only one account can have the certificate.
On another account on a different lunarpages machine, I can't have several machines running Mail at the same time, only the first will get through and the rest will give an SSL error.
Lunarpages says they can't find a problem, though my last email with them told me to use TLS rather than SSL. Of course, there's no way to specify that in Mail anyway, but I'd thought Mail automatically used TLS anyway, and I'm running the right ports (587 for smtp, 993 for incoming).
Feels like it's an issue with Mail or the OS's handling of certificates. Any clues on a fix will be most appreciated as this is getting annoying. I've had to turn off SSL on my wife's and daughter's accounts just so that I can use it. And I have to quit Mail so that on the other account I can get my mail on my iPhone. Having to quit Mail on my main work machine is frustrating -- if I forget to do it I can't get mail.
