Mail server died - please help!

Hi!
I changed some setting in /etc/amavisd.conf today to this:
$satag_leveldeflt = 2.0; # add spam info headers to all messages
$satag2_leveldeflt = 4.0; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sakill_leveldeflt = 8.0; # send to quarantine
$sadsn_cutofflevel = 10; # irrelevant
# $saquarantine_cutofflevel = 12; # just delete, no need to quarantine
# $saquarantine_cutofflevel = 20; # spam level beyond which quarantine is off
# $penpalsbonusscore = 5; # (no effect without a @storagesqldsn database)
# $penpalsthresholdhigh = $sakill_leveldeflt; # don't waste time on hi spam
After that I issued "sudo serveradmin stop mail" and "sudo serveradmin start mail". Suddenly mail stopped working. I restarted and all I get is postfix/postqueue[1191]: fatal: Queue report unavailable - mail system is down
Please help!
Thanks so much in advance,
Chris

Mail server problems - please help

Hello,
all of a sudden I'm unable to send mail.
The outgoing mail server has changed to iCloud - where originally it was "smtp.me.com:my email address"
When I go into Mail Preferences and try to change it from iCloud to smtp....., although it asks me if I want
to save the change, it doesn't save it and goes back to iCloud.
Also, when I try to switch it out of iCloud directly in the email I'm trying to compose, it won't allow me that option any longer (under "Customize")
Any help?
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple community.
Is this an iCloud or 3rd party email address.

If you mean updae server
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise what server are you talking about

Mail authentication problem - PLEASE HELP

I was trying to set up my email account on my new Droid phone. Apparently, it requires that the incoming mail server use authentication. I went into my Mac Mail account settings and changed the Advanced setting to Password. Now I can't receive any mail (though I can send). I also can't UNDO this change, None is no longer an option on the drop down menu. WHAT?
Please help. I tried adding a new email account, by my Mac tells me there's already and account with that email address and gives me no options for deleting/starting over.

That is the case, assuming you picked "Edit Serve List" from the "Outgoing Mail Server" list, then selected your SMTP server. I'm not surprised that you had "Authentication" for the outgoing mail server set to "None". If your broadband account is like mine, authentication depends on you being connected through the ISP's connection. Is that the entry you were unable to set to "None"?
Yes, that's correct.
The settings for incoming mail servers are just above the field for "Outgoing Mail Server". The type of security is declared under the "Advanced" tab. Is the password declared there the correct one for your incoming e-mail?
Yes.
That's normal. Why do you want anything different?
I meant that now I have two mailboxes and the new 'working' mailbox takes much longer to fetch new emails. I don't understand why changing the settings in the old mailbox doesn't fix the problem, and why I can't delete or change the new mailbox. I created it in haste and it doesn't show my name correctly. Yes, its a small annoyance at this point but I'm baffled as to why I now have two sort of mailboxes and why none of my edits worked (yet entering the exact same info in a new box did). Seems like Mail is f*ed up and there's no convenient way to reinstall.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I'm moving on.

It's a configuration error in your smtp server.

OS X Server. Please help me. I feel like crying.

Hello.
I am so tired of this. My Mac mini server is acting up again. There were over 80 user accounts that seemed like they should be hidden that appeared in the Server app. I deleted them. Then over 110 groups appeared in the server app appeared. I deleted three of those. Open Directory isn't working. Authentication is acting up. It won't let me connect remotely to the server from other Macs using my main user account on the server. I looked on my user accoount on the server, and whenever I try to give myself permission to administer the server, the Server App just freezes. Please help me. I am so tired of this.
ANY HELP, ANY AT ALL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Austin

Hi
Without any more details regarding which accounts you deleted (I don't want to appear harsh as you are asking for help) it's possible you may have shot yourself in the foot?
There are a large number of (UNIX) accounts you should not be deleting that are essential to the proper working order, not only of the server but, more fundamentally, of the OS itself. Ordinarily you won't see these accounts although a situation may sometimes arise where you (or some other mechanism) may have inadvertently and/or unknown to you, selected an option that shows you those hidden accounts in the Server.app GUI.
Apart from the Server.app you'd normally use Terminal or Directory Editor (available in the Directory Utility app stored in /System/Library/CoreServices) to see hidden accounts. I usually use the command line utility 'dscl' to view users (hidden or visible) in OS X. Below is the output of pretty much any OS X (server or otherwise) going back to at least 10.2:
dscl . -list /Users

If you've deleted all of the the users and/or groups beginning with underscore then you've truly shot yourself in the foot and unless you really know what you're doing it may be quicker if you simply reinstalled the OS? Possibly even format and install? If you've deleted some of these user/groups then it's likely you will start seeing random and intractable behaviour with either the OS, Server.app or both. In either case it's not surprising you feel like crying.
There are a number of 'golden' rules you should be aware of that are crucial to the proper working order of OS X Server. In no particular order these are:
1. before doing anything else configure DNS services properly
2. try and understand the UNIX underpinnings of OS X
3. avoid using .local (mDNS) as the basis for your internal/private domain
4. unless you really know what you're doing try not to fiddle
5. DNS
6. backup as often as possible
7. DNS
8. have as many backups as you can afford
You'll notice DNS is mentioned a number of times because it really is very important. The above is not definitive in any way.

HT201210 After installing ios 6, my ipod died. please help.

After installing ios 6, my ipod died. now I get this msg when trying to restore on itunes. ....please help!!
"the ipod could not be restored. this device isn't eligable for the requested rebuild" it is an ipod touch 4th gen previosly working on ios5.1

This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
