Mail relay problem

Hi,
my new Lion server has a problem relaying mails to my ISP's server.
I configured it with the same parameters than my old Snow Leopard box, wich worked fine.
Lion cues all mails localy with an error saying that no "SASL mechanism" was found.
Can anyone give me a hint how to fix this localy?
Thanks,
Luc.

I did as you said: no change, no success
the error messag in ServerAdmin says:
SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.1und1.de[212.227.15.167]: no mechanism available
internal message traffic is working (as it was before)

Open mail -relay problem !

Hi,
My Internet/Mail server is Netra i with Solaris 2.5.1.
I received e-mail from mail-abuse org saying that my mail server is open for mail-relay.
How can I disable it ?
Thanks Ivan

Hello there,
I believe that is true with sendmail 8.6 version which was shipped
with Solaris 5.5.1 or 5.6. You will need to apply the latest
5.5.1 sendmail patch (103594-19) which upgrades 5.5.1 sendmail
to be equivalent to sendmail 8.8.8+sun patches.
Unlike previous versions, sendmail 8.8 can be configured not to
pass on mail from one user outside the local domain to another in sendmail.cf
FYI, mconnect <your hostname> will show the current sendmail rev.
Hope this helps.

Mail relay issue since lion server install

I upgraded (or not) my Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard, to Lion Server.
I'm now getting mail relay errors when sending email to an account on my server from gmail.
"Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied (state 14)."
I'll post postconf -n if required.
voigtstr.com has an A name at the domain name registrar
mail.voigtstr.com has an mx record.
dig +short MX voigtstr.com returns
1 mail.voigtstr.com.
voigtstr.com and mail.voigtstr.com both point to my external ip address
any pointers?

LincNesh,
Seems the problem has been solved by Peter Rauen.
See this discussion: Mail relay SASL problem / postconf -n
I checked on my server and Peter is right. Although there are configs in /etc/postfix there is another path with postfix conf files: /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix
I actually only had to insert this line to main.cf there: smtp_sasl_security_options =
After a postfix reload my mails are being delivered via dyndns again.
Cheers!

Configuring Apple Mail client to work with gmail and mail relays

I have a gmail account [email protected] and am successfully using this account from both my macbookpro an iphone.
I also have an e-mail relay account [email protected] I have successfully configured the email relay to send mail to [email protected] and get it fine on my mail client. My problem is that when I reply to these emails or create fresh e-mails, I'd like it to use the address [email protected] not [email protected] When I used to use Eudora, there was a setting in the account configuration screen called "reply to" this would change the reply to email account to whatever I wanted, in this case, [email protected] I have scoured the mail documentation and realize that I am missing something simple. I would appreciate any assistance with configuration settings necessary to have my relay alias show-up on my mail headings.
thanks
Art

The first thing to do is to log into the Gmail web site and configure your account so that it allows you to send mail from [email protected]
Then configure your account in Mail so that the Email Address is [email protected] That should do it. This is better than setting a reply-to because the mail will really be from [email protected] and not [email protected]
If you want, you can put both [email protected] and [email protected] in the Email Address (separated with a comma) in which case Mail will show a popup menu labeled From below the Subject. You can then select which address the message should be from.

Mavericks Server mail relay custom port

After upgrading to Mavericks i cannot enter a custom port in the mail relay section of the Mail Service
in older versions i could enter: mail.domain.com:587, but now i cannot save this setting.
Anyone an idea how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance

It is about the mail service in OS10.9 SERVER I presume.
I got the same problem.
Via the terminal I was able to set anther portnumber (port 26) instead of standard port 25.
Now I can have mail sent via a script I have running om my website, BUT
only mails to my own domain are sent.
All other mailaddresses do not get my script-generated mails.
Same config on OSX10.8 server2 works fine, it went wrong after upgrading to OSX10.9 Server 3.
what can I do?

Using OS X Server as a backup nameserver and mail relay

Hi there
I manage websites and email on behalf of a number of clients, and until now have just used basic shared hosting for all their needs. However, I have had issues with the hosts, and have recently moved over to a VPS at my webhost to give me more scope and control.
I have roughly got my head around everything I need to do to make it work from a theory point of view with DNS, email etc, but now the technical part of setting up backups on my OS X server is challenging me. There are two main services I want to offer backup for using my little home server on a static IP: backuo mail-relay and nameserver. The key is that these are pure backup for the 0.01% of the time that any webhost has a problem, so I am comfortable that they can be done from home.
There are two specific areas I hope to use the Mac backup for:
1) I want to ensure that should the VPS go down (or need to be restarted/maintained) I have a backup mail server to catch and queue mail until my server is back up. I think this is straightforward(ish) for a single domain, but I need to be able to do this for multiple users over multiple domains. Can anyone point me in the right direction for setting this up?
2) As part of this, to be a bit more professional, I am using the VPS as a nameserver, so my clients see my domain as their nameserver. While I have multiple IPs, I only have one VPS, so if this goes down then the mail backup I set up above won't be contactable as the nameserver will also be down. Therefore I also need to be able to set up OS X as a secondary (slave) nameserver for all the domains. Again, can anyone point me in the right direction for this?
Many thanks
Richard

You would setup your backup mail server as a secondary MX server. But you have to ask yourself is it worth the effort. What is the SLA you have with your hosting provider. If they guarantee 99.9% uptime then a mail server may only ever go down for 1 or 2 hours max. Mail would not be lost during this time it would just get queued.
What front end is your VPS using is it CPANEL or Plesk?
Here is an interesting document that relates to cPanel.

HT6147 iOS 7.0.6 update - mail sending problems & uncontrollable apps closing

Hi all!
I’m having problems on two iPads after installing iOS 7.0.6 update. The first one is “sending mails via Exchange account and gmail is a NO GO!” an the second is “closing apps from time to time uncontrollably”. With iOS 7.0.4 this worked fine.
Anyone with same or similar problems? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I already tried rebooting and deleting/adding accounts again in mail app with no positive effect.
Since iPads are used by company’s managers where seamless emailing is crucial function, this made iPads expensive bricks and nothing more.
The rest of iPads are to stay on the older version till this is fixed or workaround is found.
Thanks
Misci

How to configure Sendmail mail relay with authentication

Hi,
How to configure send mail relay. Client gave us smtp host,port, username and password. We have a couple of server. If we configure the relay in any one of the server other servers able send mails using relay server. Please help me on this?

.Go to System Configuration and in Email Server property value give the name of IT resource you created in step1 so the name will be "Email Server".

How do I install stunnel on Yosemite server 4 so my mail relay works on port 465?

My ISP blocks outbound smtp mail and insists I point to their relay server on port 465. After I set up mail relaying in the server config app I get SMTP log errors saying it's unimplemented. After some research it looks like I need to install a SSL tunnel package called stunnel. Has anyone had an success getting stunnel installed? Or, has anyone had any luck using Yosemite Server 4 to mail relay through verizon.net (port 465)? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I'll assume that you have to authenticate to the mail relay with a name and password. The Server GUI doesn't provide for this use case.
Take the following steps to configure Postfix to relay mail to a remote SMTP server with password authentication over SSL. Substitute as required for strings in italics below. Address is the fully-qualified domain name of the relay host. The value of port is usually either 25, 465, or 587. Username and password refer to your credentials on the relay host.
In the current version of OS X Server (but not necessarily in older versions), Steps 1 and 3 should be done for you when you enable relaying and relay authentication in the Server application.
1. If necessary, create or update the relayhost directive in
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf
It should look like this:
     relayhost = [address]:port
2. Add these lines, above the section at the end that begins with the comment "# Mac OS X Server":
     smtp_sasl_security_options =
     smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem
     smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:$data_directory/smtp_tls_session_cache
     smtp_use_tls = yes
3. If it doesn't already exist, create the password file
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd
with this content:
     [address]:port
     username:password
Here address must match $relayhost.
Then create the password database:
sudo postmap /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd
This action creates the file
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/sasl/passwd.db
The two password files should be readable by root only.
4. Create the file
     /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem
with the CA certificate(s) to be trusted for authentication of the remote host. You get those certificates from the service provider. If you can't find a link to download them, try this:
openssl s_client -connect address:port -showcerts < /dev/null | sed -n '/-BEGIN /,/-END /p' | sudo sh -c 'cat > /etc/certificates/relayhost.pem'
The command may produce an error message that isn't necessarily significant. For servers that use the older STARTTLS protocol, rather than straight TLS or SSL, this command may need to be modified.
5. Restart the Mail service.

Server App: Outgoing Mail Relay not working

Hi,
I'm trying to set up Outgoing Mail Relay on my Mountain Lion Server, but I always get bounced emails:
Oct 1 04:33:34 my.server.private postfix/smtp[9582]: C855DCE700D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mx2.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.128]:25, delay=0.91, delays=0/0.02/0.65/0.24, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host mx2.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.128] said: 554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [myIP] blocked using zen.dnsbl; http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=myIP (in reply to RCPT TO command))
If I use in the SMTP servers list of Mail app, the exact same account credentials, the email is been delivered only when using SSL. So, I tried adding :465 and :587 to the ougoing relay server in the Server app (Relay outgoing mail throught ISP), but I get the following error and the message stays queued:
Oct 1 04:13:41 my.server.private postfix/smtp[8920]: connect to mx2.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.128]:587: Connection refused
Oct 1 04:13:41 my.server.private postfix/smtp[8920]: connect to mx1.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.127]:587: Connection refused
Oct 1 04:13:41 my.server.private postfix/smtp[8920]: 0BAD1CE6340: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=369, delays=369/0.02/0.43/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mx1.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.127]:587: Connection refused)
It seems I'm missing something. I want to use smtp account to send all the email coming from my Mac OS X Server, but it looks like I'm doing something wrong or the Server App doesnt work the same way Mail App does when connecting to a SMTP server.
Any comments?

Let me add....
Mail app is connecting and sending the emails correctly with the same credentials but using SSL through port 25:

I would like to force Server App to do a SSL connection to port 25 of the specified relay server, but not sure how to do this. If I don't manage to do SSL on port 25, then, my relay server will bounce the emails...
grrrr!

Mail Server Problem

The mail server problem has been resolved, mail is working as designed....yeah!!

silly discusting board, I've got 3 replies in my email but it's not showing here ...
anyway, this time I found after some chasing my tail .... that the mail preferences had wiped my password and I needed to reinstall it, then instruct it to go online and some other click stuff ....
and it seems to be ok now ....
but each round in past 2 weeks has been different "fix" .... or wait ....
sorry for anyone without master email for 5 days, that's just not right ....
I'm afraid that as apple starts "giving away" email accounts to build the cloud into something much bigger than the mobile me was .... that their folo up will fail and we will find ourselves not with the same apple durability / consistency but with the "hey it's free" attitude ....
let's see

Configure LAMP stack to use internal mail relay without....

Does anybody know of a way i can configure my new LAMP stack to use the companys internal mail relay without having to implement postfix, or sendmail? I did already try to implement send mail recently, and its very confusing to me since i have never set up a mail server, and i tried to implement postfix, SOHO i think was the wiki i used, and that never got done either. It seems incredibly cryptic to someone who even has tons of server experience, just not the email portion. Maybe the wikis are just written for those who have more experience in making SSL certs, and being more versed in MX records, and DNS for email specific things. etc...
Since i have not successfully set up a mail server thus far, i dont have enough general mailer / experience to understand the wikis on setting up Sendmail, etc...
My company asked me if i could just use their internal mail relay instead. I would like to know if i still need to set up sendmail to allow PHP mail() function to send out mail, or if theres some configuration somewhere that i can adjust so it can use the existing internal mail relays.
Note, the only thing im trying to achieve here is to get my apps to send out emails for login password management, and error logs.

In my experience an SMTP server is preferable to sendmail/postfix as it is far more portable and robust... (in a web environment) many webhosts, for example, pay no heed to the configuration of sendmail - so code that runs on one host fails on another. PHP mail() can be leveraged to use any backend you like but this typically requires root access (or at least permissions beyond those offered on typical hosting services), and, as said above, does not allow for any useful level of error reporting.
Swiftmailer is (generally) my weapon of choice - unless the particular project has additional PEAR dependencies/requirements that mean it makes sense to stay within the same codebase... not that it (PEAR) is always that consistent anyhow
I can't really offer much in the way of help with cron integration as that is not a route I have taken - it should think it would be pretty trivial (sic )to implement as you build your script... swiftmailer has some pretty neat "live address" checking routines - have a dig through the docs
