Mail 5 and SMTP server list

Hi,
ever since my upgrade to OS X Lion, I've noticed that the usage of the SMTP server list in Mail 5 seems to have changed. In the past, said list contained ALL configured SMTP servers. When configuring e-mail accounts (e.g. MobileMe) you could specify a default SMTP server from the server list and check a checkbox to ONLY use the specified server for outgoing mail of an account.
In Lion the meaning of this server list seems to have changed and I think I have discovered a bug that prevents me from using only a specific SMTP server with an account.
For accounts that are supported by Lion and listed under the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" Preference Pane, Mail 5 seems to always use a default server setting for outgoing mail. For GMail, this default server seems to use SSL. However, for MobileMe the default server is not the service's SSL SMTP server.
Sending mail on non-SSL ports is a problem for me for two reasons:
1.) Obviously this a security/privacy issue.
2.) I'm a student and when logged into my universities network I can't send e-mail on default e-mail ports (25). Our servers block any outgoing e-mail on ports other than SSL/TLS ports.
So far this shouldn't be a problem, because you should be able to overwrite Mail's default server by configuring another MobileMe SMTP server with SSL in the server list and checking the checkbox depicted in the below screenshot.
Unfortunately, whenever I select the SSL enabled MobileMe SMTP server, activate the checkbox and save my changes, Mail will revert to the the default SMTP server without SSL immediately. If I delete the default server from the server list, it pops up again after saving the changes. There seem to be just two ways of sending e-mail using a different server than the default one:
1. Don't check the checkbox and specify the SMTP server for each e-mail you want to send.
2. Send using the default server. If sending the mail fails (because I am in my university's network), select the SSL SMTP server in the trouble-shooting popup.
Option one is annoying. Option two still bears the security/privacy problem and is annoying, because it takes ages for Mail to accept that a server does not seem to work.
There seems to be no way of fixing this behavior and I have it on both iMac and my Macbook Air. Is this a bug? Do you have any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks a lot,
Felix

Felix,
I agree, I think it is a bug. My wife is experiencing the exact same issue on her MacBook after upgrading to Lion.
I submitted Mail feedback tonight to Apple. I hope they get this fixed pronto. My wife prefers Mail to the web interface or using her iPhone for mail. Thanks for explaining the issue.

Mail and SMTP server settings of ASA Certificate Authority for cisco anyconnect VPN

Dear All,
i have the folloing case :
i am using ASA as Certificate authority for cisco anyconnect VPN users,the authentication happens based on the local database of the ASA,
i want to issue a new certificate every 72 hours for the users ,and i want to send the one time password via email to each user.
so what the setting of the mail and smtp server should be ,
was i understand i should put my smtp server ip address then i have to create the local users again under(Remte VPN VPN--Certificate management--Local certificate authority --Manage user Database) along with their email addresses to send the one time passsword to them via their emails.
i sent the email manually ,hwo can automate sending the OTP to our VPN users automatically vi their emails?
Best regards,

Thanks Jennifer.
I did manage to configure LDAP attribute map to the specific group policy.
Nevertheless, I was thinking whether I can have fixed IP address tied to individual user.
Using legacy Cisco VPN Client, I can do it using IPSEC(IKEv1) Connection profile, where I set Pre-Shared Key and Client Address Pools. Each Client Address Pools has only 1 fix IP address.
Example: let say my username is LLH.
Connection Profile for me is : LLH-Connection-Profile, my profile is protected by preshared key.
Client Address Pool for me is : LLH-pool, and the IP is 172.16.1.11
Only me know the preshared key and only me can login with my Connection Profile.
Using AnyConnect, I have problem. User can use any connection profile because I cannot set preshared key for AnyConnect. In that case, I cannot control who can use my Connection Profile and pretend to be me.
Example:
AnyConnect Connection Profile for me is : LLH-Connection-Profile, without any password
Client Address Pool for me is : LLH-pool, IP is 172.16.1.11
Any body can use LLH-Connection-Profile, login with another user name, let say user-abc which is a valid user in LDAP server. In that case, ASA assign 172.16.1.11 to user-abc and this user-abc can access server which only allow my IP to access.
I hope above description can paint the scenario clearer.
Thanks in advance for all the help and comment given.

How to make email client account setup automatically select inbound mail and smtp server.

I have the mail service successfully running on OS X Server 10.8.2. I am able to send and receive email as well as setup email accounts on various email clients (iphone, ipad, mac, etc). I notice that when I set up a new account that I have to specify both the inbound and smtp mail servers as well as specifying the user id for each. I am using an SSL certificate that appears to be working. The ports are selected (993/995 and 587) automatically and the default is to use SSL.
However, when I set up a Comcast account - (configured as "other") - I only have to enter Full name, email address and password - and from this it is able to determine that the incoming mail server is "mail.comcast.net" and outgoing smtp server is "smtp.comcast.net". It also fills in the userid and password for both inbound and smtp servers - as well as the ports. I have been trying to get this to work automatically when setting up accounts for my mail server - but have not been able to figure out how to do this - or if it is possible.
In googling - I have found that I can set up several different SRV records such as (_submission._tcp, _imap._tcp, _imaps._tcp, _pop3._tcp, _pop3s._tcp) and these are supposed to provide this functionality to email clients that are able to use the SRV records. I have set these up externally at my registered domain provider - and I am able to query them via nslookup, dig and host.
Is Comcast using some other special method of providing the server names to the mail client setup - or am I doing something wrong - or is this a functionality that needs to be supported on the mail server side as well. I am relatively new to mail servers and trying to work my way through the learning process.

Understand the functionality you are wanting, basically one can use Outlook / Exchange mail server as an example. It just happens.
As I understand in the background the DNS _SRV records point to a machine which serves up an XML file and that is the information which tells the client how to configure itself.
I did some research before posting my first reply and found that, in the Apple client situation, even when someone setup the the SRV records + the XML it didn't work seamlessly.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12949449#12949449
Here's some other links that give some more background.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/macenterprise/qIKUMxMae8o/iLnIkMgeOX0J
http://www.virtuworks.com/how-to-setup-outlook-autodiscovery-for-your-domain/
If you were going to persue it you will need to find out the format for the autodiscovery XML file. Also the XML file will have to be hosted on your server, you couldn't likely put it on the public DNS server.

How can I control SMTP server list in Mail?

I've seen a lot of discussion about e.g. deleting servers, but it often includes smug replies like "click the delete button" when there is often no such button. I have found a possible 'get around' to this particular problem by changing the server data to something that doesn't exist, save that, then select the server again from the list and hey presto, there is now a Delete button you can use. But again, that is not the full story because if that server is used as the primary server for any other account, you cannot modify the data.
Not only that, but you CANNOT simply swap servers so that e.g. an account uses one of the other servers as its primary server. Unless I'm missing something major here, it is NOT possible to move servers. You can change the data for the server to be exactly the same as another server, but that just means you now have an identical duplicate. Once a server entry has been created, it is an independent data entity.
So I seem to have several problems here.
1. A server cannot be deleted if it's in use as a primary for any account.
2. Servers cannot be moved, i.e. swapped between 'Primary' and 'Other'
3. Simply editing the server data does not 'merge' it with any other entry that may have the exact same data.
4. When creating an account, you cannot pick the outgoing SMTP server from the list of ones already created. Simply entering the same data as one that already exists may use that existing server, but may create a new duplicate. I have seen both of these occur and once there's a duplicate, you cannot get rid of it.
I want 3 accounts to all use the same 'Primary' server and also have the same 'Other' server. IOW, only 2 actual servers. After the first 2 accounts are created, that's what I have. Somehow they seem to be able to 'share' the same servers. But when I create the third account and enter the same data for its SMTP server as the others use as their primary (i.e. exactly the same process as when creating the second account), for some reason it does NOT use the existing matching server and I now get a third server created. I simply cannot get around this since whatever I do, each of the duplicates is used as a primary and so cannot be deleted. If I could swap them around so that the third account was using another account as its primary, then I could delete the duplicate and all would be well, but as pointed out above, that's not possible.
I'm hoping that I'm simply wrong about all this and it is actually possible to do what I currently believe it impossible. Can anyone explain how to actually control this server list?

Cannot edit outgoing SMTP server list in mail.app

Did a fresh install of Snow Leopard on a new 13" Macbook Pro unibody and was trying to add an IMAP email account. After failing to connect, I was trying to specify the outgoing port and realized that I could not edit the outgoing SMTP server list.
Steps to reproduce error:
1. Open mail.app
2. Go to Mail > Preferences
3. Select "Accounts" tab and select any mail account
4. Select "Account Information" tab and click Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down menu
5. Select "Edit SMTP Server List..."
After that point the instead of opening the list of servers with their settings, it simply returns to the "Account Information" screen. I'm a bit confused because I've never had this happen before in any other version of mail app. I cannot edit or delete any outgoing mail server accounts because of this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

This should not happen. Had you migrated back to the fresh install the Mail folder in User-Library? Or is this a clean setup? I would go to User-Library-Preferences, and drag the com.apple.mail.plist to the trash, then open Mail and try again.

Cannot edit the smtp server list in Mail (Yosemite)

I am trying to edit the smtp server list in Mail. I am running Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and always get this message.
"The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
There are no alert icons displayed!!! And I can not delete a server.
I need to change some smtp-settings and cannot edit anything.
Any ideas?

Back up all data before proceeding.

How do I set up a mail server and SMTP server to send messages to other mail servers at mavericks

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

What mail program from what kind of computer are you sending your email? It sounds like an encoding problem that would have to be solved on the sending end. If you want, send me an example of the kind of email which arrives as gibberish on your iphone (tom at bluesky dot org).

SMTP server list empty

Hello all,
After the latest update (10.10.3 Supplemental Update) and restart, the SMTP server list from my Mail is completely empty. Is there any way to get this back without having to reconfigure all my accounts?
Thanks in advance,

Having the same problem here - were you ever able to resolve the issue?

Using two gmail accounts in Mac Mail client, smtp server issue

I've set up two gmail accounts (one personal, one from my job) in Mac Mail. The personal account is set up via POP, the job account is IMAP. I receive mail into each account with no problem. However Mac Mail won't allow me to set up two separate smtp.gmail.com servers (one for each account). If I edit my SMTP server list and try to change either account individually, it changes BOTH accounts. So I can receive with no problem, but can only send mail from both accounts from ONE account (which ever one I've programed). Is there a way to set up two SMTP severs through gmail (one for each account)?

I have two separate ones set for password authentication to two different accounts.
In your smtp server list, how many are listed? If only one, click the add button and set it up for the other account.

How to send email to a SMTP server over a secure channel using STARTTLS setting of a send connector (Exchange and SMTP server are in the same domain)

I’m trying to send email using exchange send connector STARTTLS setting to the SMTP server. I have read multiple documents on configuring TLS for send connector, but they talks about outbound connections to internet facing servers. My Exchange 2013 and SMTP
server is in the same domain (let’s say A.com) and I’m creating dummy domains on my SMTP server (e.g.
[email protected],
[email protected] ) and their respective send connectors on the exchange server end. In the smart host section added the IP address of the SMTP server and in the scoping section added the SMTP domain address (e.g. dummy1.local ). In the FQDN field, added
the FQDN of the exchange server 2013 which certificate is enabled with SMTP service.
Could you tell me a step by step procedure, where I’m going wrong or any extra settings needs to added?
Presently, it is giving me an error that 530 5.5.1 TLS encrypted connection is required.
Note: I’ve created the Microsoft CA certificates for the SMTP and exchange servers and imported them in the personal certificate container. In which, the exchange certificate is created with FQDN name of the server and enabled for the SMTP service.
I’m using OPENSSL certificate for making the SMTP server TLS enabled. (let me know, if I need to import the OPENSSL certificate anywhere on the exchange end)?
Thanks!

-IgnoreSTARTTLS is set to false on the send connector properties.
I'm trying to established a HTTP over TLS connection. I'm not using mutual TLS between these two server.
The send connector protocol logging is attached as below,

How to best set up a mail and calendar server for a church

I am the IT guy for a smaller church of 200 regular attendees. We want to start hosting our own mail and calendar server. We bought a mac mini and installed mac os x server. So far I have enabled the mail, calendar, and contacts sections of the server but we aren't live quite yet (domain is not pointed at the server yet). My question is, I do not know much about profile manager or open directory, would those benefit me at all? I do not wish to manage devices, I just want to make the most use out of the computer as a mail server primarily. I have found some limitations on users and groups where I wish I could do more (such as creating mailing lists that include e-mails that are not hosted from within the server without creating a user that forwards to personal e-mail for every person).
Would open directory and/or profile manager add more functionality to the computer as a mail server?
Thank you

@camelot
What is it exactly open directory will give me that I cannot do with the regular software in this regard? I am not sure what you mean by a signle shared mailbox and calendar.
@cpragman
Google apps for business was something I was looking into at one point but decided not to use it. Once we grow more I can see us moving over to it but with just maybe 5 people tops having a real e-mail address it seems a little overkill. (I apologize, I omitted that from my original question, i only put in the number of attendees)
@Lincdavis
Fortunately I don't care about whether they can create it themselves or not . And your comment about creating a sharing-only user. Do you mean for every external e-mail I want in a mailing list, I need to create a user for them (with services disabled) and then change mail options to forward to their personal e-mail?
Then go back to groups, create a group that can be e-mailed, and add those users to it?
Thanks

Sending Mail through SMTP server

Hi
I am trying to sent the mails through smtp server but but my smtp server is not reponding, I tried to delete the account & recreated the accounts & the smtp server but unable to do that, but creating the same mail account & same smtp server works in different laptop. can any one guide me how to correct the problem & repair it.
Thanks in advance for the support.

There are a couple of things you might check:
make sure that you have the server name entered correctly (for example, stmp.gmail.com)
make sure that if you have to override the default port that you have
make sure that if SSL is required to connect that you've this option ticked, and
make sure that if you need to provide a user name and password to access the server that you have.
Other than that, that's about all that I can think of.

SMICM error while sending mail using SMTP server

Hi All,
We are not able send mails using SMTP server.
We have made every settings necessary in SCOT, SO16 , SMTP service is activated, default domain is maintained etc
Only things which seems to be wrong is in SMICM trace file.
[Thr 13] *** ERROR => NiBufIConnect: non-buffered connect pending after 5000ms (hdl 29;10.26.24.44:1090) [nibuf.cpp 4608]
[Thr 13] *** WARNING => Connection request from (0/1/0) to host: 10.26.24.44, service: 1090 failed (NIECONN_REFUSED)
[icxxconn_mt.c 2321]
This error is getting repeated in it.
BUt I am not sure why it it trying to hit 10.26.24.44, as we dont have any server by this ip. The ip is only not resolvable from the server.
1 more thing, at OS level, following parameter is maintained in profile :
icm/server_port_1 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25000,TIMEOUT=180
But in SCOT, under SMTP node PORT is given as 25.
Kindly let me know what going wrong here?
Thanks

11 e-mail accounts from different providers are suddenly giving me errors saying they can't connect to IMAP and SMTP server?

I have 11 e-mail accounts that was working fine a minute ago, but now they all say that they can't connect to the IMAP and SMTP servers.
They all work fine on my iphone.
How should i troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, restarted for the third or fourth time, and now it works...
Perhaps it was a time-issue.
