Mail Server empty option value Error

I am running a 10.3.9 mail serever and can not get the POP or IMAP to enable. I am getting this error in the log file:
Jul 14 13:46:53 www master[2253]: empty option value on line 16 of configuration file
The error happened after i tried to change the SSL setting. Any ideas would be very helpful. I read this article (http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2005/May/msg01431.html) and think the same thing is going on but still not working. Any help would be great.

  • HELP! empty option value on line 19 of configuration file

    We have been attacked by spammers again at our server. As a result, only the Outgoing SMTP service is on in the SA-Mail-Overview tab, although in the Settings-General tab POP, IMAP and SMTP are enabled.
    In the POP and IMAP logs, it shows "empty option value on line 19 of configuration file". Does it refer to main.cf? Line 19 in main.cf has no parameters to be specified...
    Also, I find very weird that if I use postfix stop, then it stops but suddenly starts again. Can it be the mail queue manager? I'm starting to think someone has hacked our server.
    I only have angry clients now with no connection. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Here goes our postconf.

  • "empty option value"?

    I'm getting the following lines repeated over and over in my mail service log:
    Nov 14 12:38:19 mail master[29009]: empty option value on line 18 of configuration file
    Nov 14 12:38:19 mail master[29009]: exiting
    As of this writing, it's been going on for 18 minutes. If anyone has a solution or any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

    OK, I figured out how to edit and save the imapd.conf file. From what I found in other threads on this board, I set it to "Default".

  • Missing option value after reboot ?

    hello,
    after already a while now, our Mac running 10.4 was shutdown due to voltage problems in the building.
    after starting up, we wanted to continue our work as usually,
    but uhh..... Mac didn't want to do so.
    I have absolutely no idea what happened, but our mail refuses to work.
    Server Admin says SMTP is working,
    but POP and IMAP are always disabled.
    log shows the following error:
    Jul 6 14:39:28 hxxaxxex postfix/pipe[1371]: DC33C1B6C5B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=cyrus, delay=1216, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: 421 4.3.0 deliver: empty option value on line 19 of configuration file_ )
    i tried to find errors in main.cf and master.cf,
    couldn't find an error yet tho.
    any suggestions/help greatly appreciated,
    thanks in advance
    G4

    after some research and a lucky finding,
    i was able to resolve the error.
    too bad server admin seems to do an awful job.
    neither did it reference to the correct file that was missing an entry,
    nor did it save the conf file correctly, since the entry was already there before.
    i found this article:
    http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2005/May/msg01431.html
    the file/line missing an entry was
    File: imapd.conf
    Line: tlscommonname:
    and no, it's not 10.3 server admin, lol
    i hope no1 else will ever encounter this problem,
    if any1 does tho, may this article help.
    kindest regards

  • Odd Mail Server Setup Issues

    So after purchasing my new Xserve which i will be using as my company's primary mail server.
    i own a domain hosted by my ISP, and I have a static IP. I have also purchased a sonicwall pro 2040 firewall and have opened up the ports needed for the mail service smtp, pop, imap and web for webmail.
    I have already configured the MX and A settings with my ISP DNS server.
    i will be using an example.com as my domain.
    My current settings are,
    Computer Name : mail.example.com
    In Computer Services under Mail i have the following things checked off.
    General (the list below i have checked off)
    -> Enable Pop
    -> Enable SMTP
    -> Allow incoming mail
    domain :example.com
    hostname : mail.example.com
    Relay (the list below i have checked off)
    -> Accept SMTP relays only from these hosts and networks
    127.0.0.1/32
    my static ip
    my mail server local lan address
    -> Use these junk mail rejection servers
    zen.spamhaus.org
    Filters (the list below i have checked off)
    -> Scan email for Junk @ 5 junk score
    -> Scan email for virus and delete
    -> update the junk mail and virus 1 time a day
    Quotas
    -> Refuse incoming mail larger the 25MB
    Advanced
    Not sure what i should do here, my staff will be accessing email from all over north america and ideas i have played around a bit but nothing makes me able to set a mail client up to my server.
    Hosting -> local host and my domain.
    In my log files for mail access its also says empty option value on line 15 of the config file.
    Anyone have any ideas.

    You might also want to harden OSX.4 Tiger server against spam. I wrote an article which details implementing greylisting, blackholes, backscatter filtering, checking the sending mail server, recipient and email content. This supplements the anti-virus and spam checks already included in OSX Server to significantly reduce spam received and load on the mail server.

  • Mail and secondary mail server.

    Hello.
    As I am working on my mail server I would like to ensure that I have some form of back system to prevent me from looosing e-mail messages in the future, specially those that are business related. Once in a while we experience a power outage and I would hate to loose an important business e-mail sent to us at a time when the mail server is down.
    Questions:
    1. Is there a way to have/use a remote secondary mail server so that in case an e-mail is sent but can't be delivery to our mail server, it is then re-routed to this secondary mail server so that it isn't lost. In this case how should this be set-up both on the server in OS X 1.6.8 and on the outside?
    2. I plan to set up an account with Google or another e-mai service provider but would like my e-mail to use my own domain name instead. How simple would this be to set UP? Will Google allow the creation of e-mail accounts with the use of domain names other than its own?
    Thank you in advance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

    Hi, capaho.
    I just called GoDaddy (my registrar) and this time didn't get much help. My experience with GoDaddy has been nothing but extremely positive. Their customer service is one of the best I have experienced but today in particular I wasn't so lucky as the gentleman in technical support to helped me on the phone sounded very inexperienced and seemed to know less about this than I do (and that takes effort).
    Both solutions you mentioned sound good to me and I do agree that having the e-mail forwarded to another acount would likely be the simplest solution. But how would I set this up ? How can I setup my account settings at GoDaddy so that when e-mail comes in it is directed to my server as the MX Record points to it, but a copy is also forwarded to a GMail or other similar e-mail account ?
    It is important to me for this process to take place BEFORE not AFTER it hits my server. I have grown concerned about loosing business opportunities and facing financial losses from e-mails that are not delivered to me properly. My server can fail for a multitude of reason and I wish to prevent this.
    > If your mail server has a fatal error that would kill mail on the first pass,it would be
    > affecting all mail, not just some messages, so it's unlikely you have such a problem.
    I have had this happen before and this is one of the reasons I am trying to establish some form of redundancy so it doesn't happen again in the future.
    > You could set the mail server to forward all undeliverable mail to the admin mail account
    > in Server Admin.  That would make sure you didn't miss any messages, but you would
    > likely start getting a lot of spam that would otherwise bounce.
    How can I do this ? Can this be setup so that all undeliverable mail is forwarded to the admin account UNLESS it is undeliverable because the system has found it to be spam ? In other words, if the e-mail is undeliverable because the user account has been deleted or the address can't be found on the server the message would then be forwarded to the admin account. On the other hand, if the system has judged the e-mail to be spam it would then just be treated as such.
    Any help you can offer with this issues will be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Error msg: Sending of password for user did not succeed. Mail server responded: Not enough disk space - what's the deal?

    I've been checking my email via webmail for a week and am back in the office today. Fired up Thunderbird, expecting it to pick up all my email, but it gets nothing and tells me…
    Sending of password for user [email protected] did not succeed. Mail server pop.ipower.com responded: Not enough disk space
    Haven't seen this particular error message come up in searches via google and at mozilla. There's definitely disk space on my machine. I'm running TB on a Mac (OSX 10.6.8). Disk Space options under Preferences > Advanced let me assign up to 1024 mb for the cache, which I've done, and cleared.
    Has anyone encountered this before? Got a solve/troubleshooting process? Thanks!

    Thanks. I do compact regularly (TB prompts me to) and did it (several times) via Preferences today to try and get TB past this error message.
    Also went thru and Trashed + Empty Trashed as many messages as possible from the inbox, just in case. Still no-go.

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Mail in Mountain Lion "Incoming Mail Server" field cannot be empty

    I put my wife's email account which is in iCloud on mail with a couple of other iCloud accounts.  To identify who's iCloud account is who's, In the preferences on the account where you edit the description from the default "iCloud" to User's Name  iCloud and after you hit save I get an error saying The "Incoming Mail Server" field cannot be empty.  Yet is has p04--imap.mail.me.com in the field that is greyed out and I cannot edit the fields contents and therefore doesn't allow me to change the email account's description.  I've tried deleting the accounts, logging out of icloud, etc.  Nothing has fixed this yet.
    On a side note, one of my other email accounts from iCloud keeps popping up with it needing the password field to be entered.  No matter what I try, it doesn't take the password.  I can log into it just fine through safari. 
    So it seems like iCloud is having issues as well as Mail and contacting Apple twice and escalating to tier 2 both times has yeilded the person saying they didn't know and then hanging up on me.  Does anyone else know what I might try?

    Okay, I had this problem and solved it as follows:
    1. Deleted any non-functioning iCloud-IMAP accounts from Mail's Preferences. I had two that were working fine, so I left those in place. One of those was the primary iCloud account on my Mac, i.e., the account used for "Find My iPhone/Mac/iPad" and iCloud storage, etc.
    2. Then I quit Mail and restarted my computer.
    3. Went to my other devices and made sure the primary account was the same one there. [Note: It was not -- the primary iCloud account was different on my iPhone versus my Mac, I think this discrepancy might have been the source of the problem, but I don't know.]
    4. I also made sure my wife's Mac uses a different primary iCloud account, one that is not on my machines, although we share one secondary iCloud Mail account (which is not the primary on any device -- it is always a secondary account).
    5. Then, following MChannel's advice upthread, I went into System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars, and added the formerly problematic iCloud accout that way. I have everything turned on for my primary iCloud account. All of the secondary accounts only have Mail turned on (although I don't think that matters -- you can turn on the other features that are available there if you like).
    6. Opened Mail and voila! -- everything is working fine. Accounts are all set up properly without me even opening Mail's Preferences.

  • Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

    Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
    Thanks!

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

  • HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again.  The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

    I can send but cannot recieve email
    This is the messege I am gewtting:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
    The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
    The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

    Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.
