Mail Server presents the hostname, instead of the domain name.

Either I'm really dumb or perhaps Mac OSX Server wasn't the right choice for this - please tell me that I'm dumb...
So, I've gotten a domain for our school, and also gotten my ISP to setup PTR Records. MX records are set correctly for the new domain (set to an A record), and all is working well, according to "nslookup" and "dig".
But! Why are all our mails defaulting to the hostname? At install time, I called my server leopard.example.com. When my MBP was connected via Directory Utility, it set Mail up automatically, and also showed that domain is example.com / leopard.example.com, but for I get email addresses of [email protected], not [email protected] - so Digging around, it looks like either I can change it from WGM or I need to delete the information from Mail client and then reset everything.
So the problem now is that since I've only added the MX for only example.com, it fails when someone recieves and email from leopard.example.com! (ofcourse!, since there is no MX records for this!)
So, is there a better way to do this? or a patch for this? It just seems ridiculous that we need to go and modify couple of hundred Mail clients to change their email addresses back, or modify each entry in WGM to get this changed.
Any comments are more than welcome, but I just feel so dumb at the moment! - Luckily I have my Linux host still running at the moment...

Solved it by doing it manually in advanced mode.
Basically, when I changed the entire OD to come up with the Kerbero Realm of dc=example,dc=com, Mail automatically picked up example.com instead - even though the DNS was set to server.example.com. (looking up the changeip -checkhostname). So, it's imperative that when you actually set up the server, you just set the hostname as the domain instead and that seem to have solved the problem for now.
It is kinda flakey, the fact that Apple didn't seem to have taken into consideration that ppl would need something like this, even in the Standard Configuration feature.

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

Error: The e-mail server could not be reached when the system was trying to

Dear All,
I've configured the Mail Transport in Portal successfully with SMTP as MS Exchange Server and Third-party Mailing servers. But due to some licensing issues a new MS Exchange mail server have been setup replacing the existing ones.
And when i configure the Mail Transport in the system i get the below message on the eMail Window:
"Error: The e-mail server could not be reached when the system was trying to send the message!
javax.mail.MessaginException: 530 5.7.1 Client ws not authenticated
I've configured (all the steps) the same way as i used to before and restarted the server as well! Please let me know the issue to be resolved, the telnet to the mailserver is also successful. I've try'd searching SDN, didn't find the exact solution... any notes on this?
Thanks,
MS

Hi,
It will depend on your infrastructure, I am not sure and have limited knowledge on netowrks, but in my current landscape both the system were in same domain, but still i had to maintain proxy configuration.
Since it giving authentication error, it feel it could be proxy error.
Please refer below links which talks about same error :
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html#smtpauth
Or else i think it is issue with port.
Regards,

Adding external mail contacts to a distribution group seems to randomly add the user instead of the mail contact

I've added a external mail contact for all my mailbox users because all the users have other jobs and other external email addresses. Since these users don't normally log on to my domain to get email, I need to create a distribution list with all their
external email addresses. I've scripted the creation of all the external mail contacts, from the mailbox users and I use AD's Notes field to contain the users external address. When using add-DistributionGroupMember and supplying the external mail
contact email address as the "-Member" param, about half of the time the users mailbox user gets added to the group instead of the external contact. I don't see any arguments to tell add-DistributionGroupMember to use only mail contacts.
1) I don't even know how it's finding the mailbox user because I'm supplying an external email address which is only in the external mail contact.
2) Some members of the group are correctly added as external contacts, some are mailbox users.
3) I only want the external mail contacts in the group
If it helps, here's the line that I use to add members to the group. I've tried mail enabling the mail contacts, no help...
Add-DistributionGroupMember–identity“AltEveryone”–member(get-QADuser$_.Name).Notes
Thanks for any help.

You should ask questions like this in the Exchange forum. It is not a scripting question but is a product behavior question.
You cannot add an external contact without first creating the contact first.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I had this problem too, I fixed it by going to my settings and under general at the bottom there is a reset option, go there. One of the options should be reset network settings, select that one. I’m not sure why it happens but that worked for me; hope you have the same luck!

screenshot problem when I do a cmnd shft 4 to take a screenshot to desktop it goes to the clipboard instead of the desktop I am using mavericks any sugestions please

Usually the Control key is required, instead of the Command key,
to save the screen shot to clipboard. What happens if you use
the correct sequence of keys to save to clipboard, then?
According to duane, in older discussion, general keystroke/effects:
Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard

How can I view photos on the iPad in order of the name of the photo instead of the date the photo has been taken

On the PC I edited the "file"names of photos in a photo-album, so that the photos are in a logical order after the file names. When I synchronise this photos with the iPad, they are shown on the iPad in the chronological order when the photo has been taken.
How can I pursue the iPad to show the photos in the order of the "file"names of the photos instead of the order after the date of the photo?

hello Allan
Thanks for the answer. Wouldn't it be a nice feature on the iPad if you can choose on the iPad itself in which order the photos should be sorted -> for instance after capture date, after filename or after sorting in iPhoto
Maybe this will be a feature for the next iOS release

How to resize the stage from the top instead of the bottom?

Hi I am trying to resize the stage in Flash CS4 from the top instead of the bottom, as I left too much space at the top of the stage and don't need the stage to be so big. By default Flash resizes from the bottom.
So is there a way of resizing from the top?
Failing this, is there a way of moving all the symbols/objects in my project so that I don't create a motion tween but just move the objects for all of the frames in the project (i have quite a few tweens in the project)?
Thanks
Nick

the built in Stage class has two handy properties...
Stage.width and Stage.height

I downloaded the ibook instead of the audio book can I get a refund?

I downloaded the ibook instead of the audio book can I get a refund?

A refund may not be possible since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you. An exception is more likely if the app is defective in some way or doesn't do what the developer advertised and the developer has been unable or unwilling to help you.
Good luck.

Is there anyway i can put the column browser on the side instead of the top?

Is there anyway i can put the column browser on the side instead of the top?

No, I don't mean adding a column (I did that right away). I'm referring to the 'Songs, Albums, Artists ,Genres, Videos and Radio' at the top. The fact that 'Songs' means something completely different in Classical Music (all instrumental are called 'Pieces' and 'Songs' are limited to works with voice) is something I've had to resign to over the years; this further bias against that kind of music makes iTunes an even poorer fit. Too bad there's no music player optimized for Classical Music...

My menu bar is the same as the old one, why? my home button is at the left instead of the right.

I downloaded 4.0 but my menu bar is the same. I still have "refresh", "home" button on the left instead of the right like the video shows. I do have the tab bar at the top but nothing else has changed.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
