Mail attachment problem with IP TUNNELING

Hi
We are an Isp and we have two links separatly from two different service provider, one is for Send traffic and another one for recive traffic, we use simple Gre tunnle and configure it in our router ,the tunnel is active and everything seems works fine ,but when users want to use mail attachment like yahoo mail attachment they have problem : yahoo ask them to attach files they can browse and choose files after that when they want to finish ,the yahoo attachment page process opened and never finish it s job !!!!!!!
please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
this sounds like you are having MTU problems due to the GRE overhead. You can try to fix this with the command
ip tcp adjust-mss ! f.e. 1400
on the tunnel interfaces. The riouter will intercept TCP MSS negotiation and allow only TCP segments small enough to fit through the tunnel.
Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

10.4.7 and Mail Attachment problem

The 10.4.7 update has caused major problems for me, on several different Macs. When I send an email to a Windows user, they tell me that the attachment didn´t come through.
I had this problem with some Outlook users before, but now it seems to affect everybody. I found similar problems on a couple of other Mac-forums.

I just recieved an email from F-Secure, after I told them, that no attachments sent from Mail (after 10.4.7) go through to F-Secure / Windows users.
They have investigated the problem and reported this:
The attachments MIME header has the following fields: name and filename.
For some reason Mail removes the blank spaces from the name field but leaves the filename field untouched. These differences in the fields make F-Secure remove the attachment (alarm).
One "fix" is removing the blank spaces from the filename, for example File 1.pdf >> File1.pdf. But this in not easy computing. Everything works just fine with 10.4.6 and before, but 10.4.7 >> is causing the problems.

Viewing HTML e-mail and problems with = (equal sign)

Good day,
I am having problems with apple mail rendinering html e-mail messages. There are extra = in the message body. The = appears to be line continuation character in the HTML. I have no problems viewing the message in Thunderbird or Entorage, but Mac Mail is a problem. The = appears to be displayed as a literal rather than part of the html reconstruction. Any thoughts as how to resolve this issue?
Here is the source of the message.

Looks like there is a common theme there. It is probably just that the original message has been corrupted somehow. Some mail clients try harder to understand corrupted data than others. I can't really tell from your original post. With mail messages, you really need to have the original data, not copied and pasted and not forwarded. If you have such a mail message, save it as raw source, put it into a zip file, and e-mail it to me. I can tell if it is an Apple Mail problem or a MS problem. If it is an Apple problem, I can file a detailed bug report on it. You can find an e-mail address for me by Googling my nickname.

Email attachment problems with "excel" files.

I have just upgraded to the iphone 4 from the 3gs and since doing so any emails I receive with excel files attached will not open the attachment? These files openened with no problem on the same email account on my 3gs.
Instead when I download the attachment and go to open it I am met with a page displaying....
"Unable to read document.
An error occured while reading the document."
Has anyone else having this problem or even better anyone know what the fix is to get these files showing up?
Any help would be appreciated,
Kris

After much frustration about excel files not opening and repeatedly not getting answers from apple, I think I might have found another way. It seems that the new apple OS does not support older versions of excel. By saving the excel file in question (Save As) to "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook" the Workbook opens just fine as an E-mail attachment. If you have macro's you can save as "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook (Macro Enabled)" and it works also.
The Workbook in question as far as I was concerned was created in Microsoft Excel 2003.
Hope this helps
Apple needs to get on the ball. This was almost a dealbreaker with me.

Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
Following is a list of things I tried:
1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
Works without a glitch, push enabled
2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

UPDATE:
After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

Problem Mail program & Outgoing Mail Server - Problem with Earthlink

I had Earthlink POP / SMTP ( In/Out ) Mail server and mac Mail set up when I pulled the power plug on PMG4 due to freeze up !
Now have no contents in mac Mail program In/Out/Sent/Draft on the PMG4 hardrive or the external Lacie brick back-up hardrive. I am told by Earthlink this is because I had the " don't save email copy on server " box checked in the Mail/Add account/Advanced section.
Any idea how I can retieve my email folders ?
Also cannot get rid of 6 account names listed erroneously under Mail/Preferences/Account/Accounts Information/outgoing mail server ! And yet there is only one account listed when the accounts button is pushed. This is making it impossible to connect to the earthlink server ! Earthlink says everythings fine on their end and I have the correct Server Port number entered ! Earthlink says it's a problem with macMail !
Help !

Mail has problem with auto address.

My mail recently has had a problem with auto addressing. Sometimes it fills in the address, at other times it will not. I have checked mail preferences often...making sure auto-address is on. I CAN use the address book to click on an address when auto addressing doesn't work. Mail is also quirky about quitting and sometimes preferences have to be re-edited to send. Basically, it is behaving badly. What to do? Thanks ACE

Has Yosemite corrected Mavericks' Mail/Contacts problem with Groups?

After I switched from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I found that I could no longer list a Contact Group name in the To block of an email without all of the addresses in the group showing, despite having Mail Preferences set so that all of the addresses wouldn't show. The work-around for this problem is having to put Contact Group names in the Blind Copy section of an email. Does anyone know if Yosemite has corrected this problem?
Thanks,
Bob W.

Thanks Barney. I assumed that Yosemite hadn't corrected the problem.
However, I'm not sure where you got the information that the "BCC" section on Mail email forms was designed to be used for "Group" addresses from Mac's Address Book (now Contacts). The "BCC" section of the email form was designed to be used by email composers who wanted copies of their emails to go to addresses that they wanted to keep hidden from those whose addresses appeared in the "To" section of the email.
The "Group" address feature in Contacts were created to allow email senders the option to send emails to large numbers of addressees that had something in common (such as a group of relatives of the sender, or in my case, members of a club), so that you didn't have to type in large numbers of addresses in the "To" window every time you wanted to send to such a group. At the same time, it kept the addresses hidden from all of those who received the email as well as from spammers.
Mac also gives (or did give) you the option to have the addresses in the Group in the "To" window to show or not to show. Go to "Preferences-Composing" section in Mail and you'll see that under the "Addressing" heading, you're given the option "When sending to a group, show all member addresses." Since that option is normally unchecked, the default is to not have the addresses show. Unless you opt to allow the addresses to show, only the name that you've given the Group shows in the "To" window of the email.
If the Group addresses in Contacts were designed to be placed in the "BCC" section of an email, there would be no purpose in having that Preference option available in Mail Preferences. The problem with having to use the "BCC" section of the email for Group addresses is that many email server companies assume that high numbers of addresses showing in the "BCC" section of an email is an indicator that the email is coming from a spammer, so the use of "BCC" for large numbers of email addresses can cause problems. The use of "Group" address names in the "To" window avoids those problems.

Interesting Mail App Problem with 3G

OK
First off, I haven't had a chance to hit a computer to update to 2.2, Just moved to a new city and no high speed internet yet, maybe I can get a free update at a local Apple Store, See what happens here.
But from the sounds of it and forum posts. its caused more problems then 2.1
Anyways, Iphone 3G is using 2.1
I added a Hushmail IMAP Account to it.
I followed their Mac OS X Instructions and I can send and recieve email no problem.
But,
If I turn on push 15 mins, send a test mail to myself, my main mail ICON isn't showing a red number above it when I get email, It will make a quick vibrate and noise, but no number.
Second, I have searched and searched.
My Email isn't going into the MAIN Inbox in the Mail App
Seems like it is being dumped into a Seperate INBOX folder below the main INBOX.
I can see my spam mail folder etc as subfolders below the main INBOX and the INbox folder its dumping my mail into.
I have tried adding /INBOX, INBOX, /Inbox, Inbox to my IMAP Path prefix and that doesn't seem to fix it and make my email going into the main INBOX.
Hushmail just got a email from me asking them about a IMAP Path Prefix, see what they have to say.
What does everyone else think here to solve this problem with the Updating and getting my email into the Main INBOX instead of a Sub-folder Inbox.
Thanks for looking

Eudora 5.x Attachment problems with iMS 5

We are experiencing problems with Eudora 5x clients on iMS 5.2 whereby some attachments are being embedded in the body of the message. I have made sure that Eudora is not configured to do this but it seems to happen mostly within the internal channel; from one user on the system to another user on the same system. External messages seem to go out fine. Any ideas?

If you really want to know what is happening, then enable MM_DEBUG=5 in your option.dat file. Also put the channel keyword logging in the defaults section, then you don't have to guess what channels to enable it on while debugging this problem. Then do ./imsimta cnbuild; ./imsimta restart dispatcher.
NOTE -- this will cause some serious logging on the system so in a heavily loaded production environment take care.
Now cause a problematic message to be generated. Now you can look at the resulting log file for the message. In that log file you should see exactly what the client sent over the wire, before iMS has possibly touched it in any way. Its almost like doing a snoop wire and translating the output of that to text. I've used this technique many times in the last 10 years and is really the only way to know exactly what the remote system is sending.

Chad
