Mail Services: Is fetchmail supported?

I have a Mac Pro running OS X and is configured to provide mail and DNS services. When I need to use a VPN connection, these services become unavailable to other systems on my network.
As a solution to this problem a purchased a Mac Mini Server. After reading the Mail Services documentation, it appears that fetchmail might not be provided as part of the service. Is fetchmail supported?
Currently, I use fetchmail to download mail from my ISP's mail server using POP. Systems on my local network use IMAP to access mail on my Mac Pro.

Without knowing more detail I'd be inclined to say your network/VPN is misconfigured…

That's one way of fixing it, I suppose
After reading the Mail Services documentation, it appears that fetchmail might not be provided as part of the service. Is fetchmail supported?
That depends on what your definition of 'support' is. Server Admin doesn't 'support' it (you can't use Server Admin to configure fetchmail), and Apple don't 'support' it (you can't call AppleCare with problems configuring/using it), but that doesn't mean it doesn't run, or that you can't configure it to do what you want.
In other words, fetchmail is installed, can be used, but you're on your own as far as configuring/maintaining it is concerned.

Setting up mail services. Name of server needs to be changed?

I setup my xserve with snow leopard. By default it was named server.ourcompanyname.private.
Here is my problem Im trying to host our company web site along with mail services. Need to bring all this in-house.
I have with my web provider 5 dedicated IP address, and router address. I bridged the modem to an airport extreme to hand out all the ip address and DHCP, this was done with apple support.
I need advise on how to go about setting up all the services. Can the name of the server be changed without causing major problems?
Any advise would be appreciated.

One other note. Can I change the .private. to .com and will this help me setup mail and hosting services?

How do I set up Mail service for simple IMAP with SSL?

This should be easy but something isn't working. I have an Xserve with 10.6. I've enabled the Mail service, and want to add this server as an Account under Entourage. I've put in the IP address, my username/password, etc. but something isn't working. It appears under the Accounts folder tree, but when I try to send an email, I have a window that says "4.7.0 TLS not available due to local problem", Error -17099". I've also seen errors telling me the password is being sent in cleartext and I can't see where I enable the same (SSL, password needed) settings on the client and the server menus. Can someone clue me in - what are the right settings on both ends to have a simple IMAP w/o cleartext passwords? I had this working fine in 10.4 Server... Thanks!
Mike

I see dropdown menus for SMTP SSL and IMAP/POP SSL. I have them both set as "Require"
Do not to this if your server is handling incoming mail from outside your network.
Few remote mail servers will use SSL, so if your server requires SSL then you will not be able to receive mail from outside your domain.
'Use', on the other hand, advertises the fact your server supports SSL, so clients and remote servers can use if if they like, but this still allows other mail in.
What should "Authentication" be - "Login" or "Plain"
Do not use Plain unless you absolutely trust all your clients (i.e. they're all on a LAN or all using SSL). Plain sends an unencrypted password over the wire, which is susceptible to sniffing.
what will the client be using?
Whatever you set it to.
The client complains about a correct root certificate not being installed).
Are you using a self-signed certificate? if so, you're going to get that unless you do a lot of extra work. Getting a real certificate from a trusted authority should resolve this.
As for the slow connections, the use of SSL shouldn't significantly impact connection or delivery/transfer times, so something else is amiss.

Mail Services connection times out after 10.5.8 - 10.6.4 upgrade

I have been running a mail server on my macosxserver02.binghamton.edu (128.226.xx.x) for Podcast Producer email notifications only. The mail service has been running fine until I recently upgraded the server to Apple's latest server software: Snow Leopard Server (10.6.4).
After the upgrade I'm no longer able to receive mail to the mail server from outside it's domain (macosxserver02.binghamton.edu). I can send and receive mail locally from within that domain. I can send mail outside of the domain without any trouble to my personal email account [email protected], but not my work account: [email protected]. If I try to send from outside the domain -- say with my Binghamton Univ account -- the mail bounces back with this message:
Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:
[email protected]
Message will be retried for 2 more day(s)
Technical details of temporary failure:

One thing to note about the .binghamton.edu domain is that we recently switched to Google Mail and .binghamton.edu is our branded domain within google.com.
DNS is managed on another server. I had an MX record added to my server this morning.

Could someone please help me figure out what is wrong?

I found two things that were causing my troubles.
First, port 25 on the switch going to the server was blocked. After this was opened I was able to receive mail to macosxserver02.binghamton.edu. Since this mail server is only used for Podcast Producer notifications, I'm hoping to have this port closed back down after I get Pcast Producer back up and running and fully tested.
Second, when the upgrade from 10.5 -> 10.6 was performed, in ServerAdmin>Mail>Settings>Domain Name, only the .binghamton.edu was populated in this field, not the full domain name of macosxserver02.binghamton.edu. This was preventing me sending mail to our Google branded .binghamton.edu email addresses. Apparently 10.6 was looking locally for all the .binghamton.edu email addresses.
A big thank you to Gordon for looking into this and helping me get this resolved.

PSE 9 Adobe E‑mail Service do not send to some mail adresses

Background:
My 64 bit Win 7 home premium PC do not have any mail client and I'm using only the IE brower for mailing [my mail is hosted by one.com] . So for PE sharing (mail) i'm using the organizer mail client Adobe E‑mail Service. In organizers sharing preferences I'm suposed to enter my own mailadress for verification of the mailing adress for Adobe E-mail service.
The issue:
If I enter my own private mailadress [email protected] there is no mail send out.
My mail host provider, one.com, has verified that there is no record in their mailserver logs of any incomming mail what so ever = no mail has succesfully been send by the Adobe organizer mail client.
AND IF I use my work mail adress [email protected] in the preferences and as mail reciever every thing works fine.
I also tested having [email protected] noted in sharing preferences, but having my priviate mailadress [email protected] only as a mail reciever. Well same negative result. There is no registred mail in the mail server logs at all coming from .[email protected] or send to [email protected]
My questions
1. Is there any PE logs to look at i the PC
2. How do I make Adobe support to seriusly take on this issue. The somewhat disapointing answer the give me are like "not our fault, ask someone else. case closed"
3. I have once, non-PE elsewhere, experienced a SW that did not recognice a '[email protected]' adress as a mailingaddress. Anyone know where to find the list over what type of mailadresses PE recognizes?

I hope you receive some replies as I have a very similiar situation. I wish I could help but obviously I cannot.
\Good luck!

Urgent:Can not write mails in inmumm mail service

Hi,
This is quite urgent.
I have my office mail in inmumm13.tcs.com(An IBM mail service Lotus Domino web access,its a webmail).
I can see the mail contents.
But when I go to "Reply" or "Reply to All" I can not see anything and hence can not write anything in the mail body.
Can someone help me on this urgently.

if you want to solve this quick, you need to send using other email provider,
copy all those addresses, or forward the whole mail to your widely supported email such as gmail
then send from there.
sorry couldnt be more helpful.
i quickly check on google for "tcs mac mail problem"
there some pages about missing plugin, but i have no idea. again, sorry.

Mail Services and Backup MX/mail services

I have a question regarding backup mail services and acceptance of incoming messages.
As of last week, I am new to the world of Mail Services in OS X Server 10.4. Last week, our current email server died and I was forced to take an Xserve G4 that had OS X Server 10.4.10 (unlimited) and setup mail services in order to receive and send mail. I went to a website called osx.topicdesk.com and followed their instructions for front-line spam defense and clamAV updating (and switching to clamd) which all appears to be working OK.
Because our old email server was having some hardware issues for the past several months that I had been working on, I had the feeling that failure might happen. So what I did a few months ago was sign up for Google Apps and their mail service. I added their MX records under my primary mail server so that in the case of a failure of my server, all mail would be passed to Gmail and everyone could get to their mail immediately (as any prolonged downtime won't work since this is a daily newspaper). This did work, for when my old server died, all the mail went immediately to the appropriate Google Apps mail accounts. After about a day of setup on the Xserve, I got the mail services running OK. I gave it all the same IP info as the previous server so that the mail would just start working without having to edit DNS records and such.
The problem I am having seems to be this: While I get most mail, some of my mail is still getting sent to the Google Apps accounts. For example, I have one user, Jane Doe, at [email protected] who gets most of their mail from connecting to the OS X Server, but about 2 - 3 emails a day get passed over to the Google Apps server. I have run DNSStuff.com tests on the mail connections, and I always get a good fast response out of the OS X server. My thinking was that mail would only be passed over to backup mail servers if the first server listed in the MX records was unavailable or offline. In all of my testing, my server has responded every time. The server is connecting via a gigabit network connection (good response), is a dual G4 1.33Ghz, 60GB hard drive with 2GB of RAM. This server doesn't do anything else except run Mail services (and web services for squirrelmail), it doesn't even have file sharing turned on.
My old email server was a Pentium II 400mhz with 348MB of RAM, and it caught all mail, so I know that the Xserve should be able to handle the load without being busy. Is there any reason that my Xserve would be rejecting mail and they would be siphoned off to the Google accounts?
Is this even a possible scenario to fix the problem: Setup a backup MX "queue" account somewhere with one of the BackupMX online services that will catch these stray emails and then send it back to the primary server? But then can be turned off quickly to allow mail to go to the Google Apps accounts if my server went down. In other words, the DNS record would show my primary as 1, the backup mx service as 2, the google servers as 3, 4, 5 and so on. Can Backup MX services be turned off quickly like that so that if my server is down and I need email to be accessed immediately then just "turn off" the service (without modifying the DNS since that will take too long to propogate) so that mail bounces over to Google immediately?
I guess my first troubleshooting attempt should be to figure out why my OS X Server is not accepting all mail.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

When I first started with the company about 2 years ago, they had a really old Linux box (about 10 years old) that was used to host email. It was horrible. It would run OK, but if it ever went down or had a hiccup, it was an all-day project trying to deal with it. Unfortunately, the company did not want to spend any money on a new server or software of course. The answer I got was "well, it's just email". Sure, but if email EVER goes down for more than 15 seconds, all of the employees go into seizures and scream that the place will have to shut down. I work for a daily newspaper, so everything is running 24/7.
Knowing that one day that box was going to just die, I looked into some backup MX services. As pterobyte had mentioned is that with a secondary MX, the problem is that no one can get their mail at all until the primary server comes back up. I knew if that server ever went down, I had nothing to take its place, so I would have to order something or get a server from another location to use. Being unfamiliar with OS X Mail Services, I knew it would take me awhile to try to setup all the users and such. All the while at the newspaper, they would be screaming bloody murder that they needed email working for news, ads coming in, etc. And when I say if it goes down for 10 minutes they start getting into fetal positions in the floor screaming, I'm not far off exaggerating. I figured I was going to need something in place for them to check email while I worked on the primary.
Back in September/October 2007, I discovered that Google hosted free mail services call Google Apps. With Google, I could setup "matching" accounts and would still be able to use my domain name. You just had to use Google's servers as the higher numbered MX records. Luckily, I set up in time for back in November, the Linux box finally died. When it did, all email successfully went to their counterparts on the Google's servers. I had everyone go to the special Google Apps login site and they were able to check their email fine. I ended up having to take a box from another site and then I had another copy of OS X Server 10.4, so I loaded it and successfully setup email (with lots of help from pterobyte's tutorials). They were on Google's systems for about 2 days.
After the disaster, I went around and setup IMAP accounts on everyone's Thunderbird clients so that if our email server went down, they just simply check that mailbox. The nice thing with the Google IMAP is that they automatically see if emails are hitting that inbox from within their client. Right now, it still remains that the 2 original companies that hit the Google accounts still do. The city government email and email from a sister newspaper. Everything else gets directed to the primary server. Although sometimes that doesn't even work, as tonight I am having to work on a problem involving the Clamd app acting up - taking up nearly 100% of the CPU which in turn caused all the mail to be hung up in the queue. So since the mail server didn't "reject" the mail and grabbed it, their gmail "backup" didn't get anything in it. It was taking me forever to figure out what was going on, so I almost just told them to unplug the network cable from the email server so that everything definitely would be forwarded to gmail.
My wish is that I had a secondary mail server in house to not even worry about it - or better yet, I wished I could just outsource the email administration itself to someone else (like webmail.us which is now MailSafe). That way for the most part, they wouldn't lose email. But of course, the company doesn't want to spend the money or invest. Just gripe when the older equipment we have won't support what they want to do with it.
But the story above explains why I did what I did with the Google's servers. I do appreciate everyone's help and input on this particular problem. I am going to look around at the DNS and talk to at least our sister newspaper to see if I can see how they have their DNS setup.
Thanks!

New MacMini with SLS as Mail Service

Hi to all,
my company needs to replace the older Mail Server (a DP powerPC / macosx server10.4),
we're targeting on MacPro 2.66 quadcore but i take a look at MiniMac shipped with SLserver and a double HardDisk and i think it's very interesting.
Considering that our Mail Service now supports 40-50 email accounts (maybe 60 in near future) , some of them with a huge daily traffic, does anyone of you tried macmini in this network situation?
What's your opinion about?
thank you

I have an original CoreDuo Mac Mini. I had been successfully using it with a 32" Sony Bravia LCD TV for more than two years using the DVI-VGA adapter and a standard VGA cable. After updating to OS 10.5.3 or later, I suddenly lost support for the VGA connection. When I reverted back to 10.5.2 things worked fine with the VGA port. I recently needed to update to 10.5.4 and the same thing happened. So, I purchased the Belkin DVI-HDMI cable and now works again, but I had to buy an HDMI switcher because my TV only has one HDMI connection. I guess the video drivers in 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 for the Mac Mini seemed to be the culprit in whacking out the VGA output.

Mail service X3-02 WILL NOT sign in HELP!

mail create account = OK
select gmail = OK
select domain @gmail.com = OK
enter usernam and password = OK
click sign in = OK
select wireless home network = OK
every time reports 'could not sign in. try again.'
H E L P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how ridiculous
someone sadi to activate POP3 access IN gmail - done
NO diff

See my similar thread on "Email will not send on Nokia Email"...
I think a contract has expired somewhere in Nokia-land which was providing the connectivity to the outside world or they've had a major routing failure but it's very noticeable that it started happening on 1st April 2012 - which is when support contracts often run to.
I contacted them and I got a response (automated I think) saying "contact my email service provider" but it works just fine from everywhere else - and how come it worked fine on Saturday but was half-borken Sunday through my mobile (3 UK)?

Mail Service H

Hello Creative and costumers.
Following the whole RMA procedure I sent my Zen Touch on the mail, putting the address Creative gave me
Creative Labs
ATTN: CLI-OKRMA (RMA 5OCT60288)
59 Cimarron Plaza
Stillwater, OK 74075
Days later, my product supposly wont be deli'vered because the address is unknown, and it most likely to be returned back to my country... I am really really sad about this.
I contacted several times again and again Creative Support to see if they can help me with the mail, if they can talk to the mail office or something. My zen is already on some office of OK. But still i dont get a proper response.
So I hope the mods here can hear my problem and try to help me, my mail order number is:
EE006756CR
and my RMA is:
RMA 5OCT60288
I really dont want it to be deli'vered back home..since i paid like 25$ to send it.
Please help me!

It does says the rma number in the box.
Also, look what the mail service said:
We attempted to deli'ver your item at 6:46 am on November , 2005 in STILLWATER, OK 74075 and a notice was left. It can be redeli'vered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again late
Can Creative take care of that?
Im really desperate at this moment.

Major Mail Service Panic after upgrade! Customer about to kill me!

Me again.
As mentioned in another thread, I had to upgrade an Xserve from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 for a customer. When I ran the upgrade I discovered that the volume containing the mail database was damaged. I wasted a day getting the data off this onto another drive, then did the upgrade. Because the mail database had been moved and might have the odd missing file I used mailbfr -o and mailbfr -f at this point. Now, all client mail folders are back as they should be but all new mail is stuck in the queue. Outgoing mail can be sent successfully.
Now, I know an amateur like me shouldn't be messing with the config files willy-nilly to try and fix this without a clear idea of what's going on. However, given that the customer and his 20 staff are going mad waiting for their mail I tried to get it right by directly comparing their config files with the equivalents on my own 10.4.3 server which is set up more or less identically and is working.
I will get lynched if I can't make this work soon. Here's postconf -n and a snippet of the smtp log. Please someone look at this and save my life!!

Other symptoms since upgrade: Server Admin refuses to turn on Mailing Lists. There's one list that was in use before the upgrade. If I click 'Enable Mailing Lists' and press Save, the box goes unchecked again as soon as the screen refreshes. Mailaccess.log (as shown in SA as the IMAP log)remains empty. Like the Mailing Lists issue above, I can't change the log detail levels; they just reset to what they were before.
Anything else anyone wants to know I'll post it.

The log entries about the stage. folder got me thinking and I realised that there was something wrong with the permissions. because I'd had to 'rescue' the mail database by moving to another volume, the permissions weren't right. Now, I had run mailbfr and watched it say it was fixing the ownerships and permissions on all this; I shouldn't have taken this for granted. The stage. folder was owned by me (admin) with read-only for everyone else. I changed it (heck, I changed the whole directory tree) to read-write for everyone and instantly mail started pouring in to everyone's accounts.
Everything is now working normally. It still bothers me that the whole shebang seems so fragile - especially in so far as the Server Admin app has at best only a tenuous grasp on the config files it's supposed to be supporting. Looking back over the past two days I can see that the basic setup was right in the first place but the manual changes I've been making in the various conf and cf files were ones that SA was supposed to be able to do for me. The whole point of having Server Admin>Settings>Logging is so you can set the log level right there - not in bloody pico via the bloody command line. Sorry - I'm tired and a little punch-drunk. It also bothers me that, having learned my humble skills on AppleShare 6 (and MacDNS), we're now in a place where none of the key components of the server are actually made by Apple, documented by Apple, or properly supported by Apple. Since Mail Service isn't a closed box with 'Apple' written on it, but a collection of dozens of interconnected third-party processes working in tandem, there really ought to be a 'master document' that shows the complete flow through the system. Most of you guys are proper experts and I'm truly grateful you're there - but I'm not afraid to admit that I didn't actually know that every message had to pass though a folder called stage. on its way to delivery and it would have nice to have been able to find that information in one of Apple's manuals. If I'd known I might have looked at it sooner.
The customer in this case is a firm of architects; they're creatives; non-technical; Apple-lovers precisely because they love the ease of use, the style and the non-pointy-headed approach of Apple's kit. I'm reminded that when this customer bought this Xserve 18 months ago, I made them buy the 3 year service contract for it. But when during the initial setup NAT wouldn't work properly I called Apple for help and they told me that 'setup problems aren't covered'. Good Grief. 450 quid. And let's not forget 700 quid for the 10.4 software.
Now, having saved myself from being lynched by the customer I'm probably going to be strung up by the very people on this list that people like me have to rely on when we get into trouble.
So, to save you all the trouble - yes, I'm a rank amateur; yes, I should do more homework; yes, I promise to keep googling and searching and reading and playing with my in-house machine... I don't promise to do a course on it since 'MacOs Server Essentials' is $2,000 to start with, and I don't have that kind of money.
Think I'd better go have a lie down.

Tomcat server as mailing services

hii all,
I'm building an application on office automation system. there 'll be mailing service, file transfer service etc.. I've decided to use tomcat server for this purpose. could you else please tell me whether i'm in the right way or not!
thanks...

It depends of how advanced you want your mail server to be? If you simple wish to send emails that relay to an existing mail Server then this is very easy
The following will allow you to send emails out using Java.
package com.fluency.email;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
public class MailManager {
     private String Type = "text/html";
      * Send an email to the given rcpt
      * @param aFromEmailAddr
      * @param aToEmailAddr
      * @param aSubject
      * @param aBody
     public void sendEmail(String aFromEmailAddr, String aToEmailAddr, String aSubject, String aBody) {
         try {
               Properties fMailServerConfig = new Properties();
               fMailServerConfig.setProperty("mail.host", "192.168.2.10");
               fMailServerConfig.setProperty("mail.from", aFromEmailAddr);
               fMailServerConfig.setProperty("mail.smtp.user", aToEmailAddr);
               Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( fMailServerConfig, null );
              MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
             message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(aToEmailAddr));
             message.setSubject( aSubject );
             //message.setText( aBody );
             message.setContent(aBody, this.Type);
             Transport.send( message );
           } catch (Exception e ) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                try {
                    throw(e);
               } catch (Exception e1) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e1.printStackTrace();
     public void setContentType( String ct ) {
          if( ct.equals("text/plan") || ct.equals("text/html")) {
               this.Type=ct;
          } else {
               ct="text/plan";
}If you want to create an email server then I recommend you try to reverse enginer QMail. This is open Source so you can download the code and workout how this all works. As QMail splits it's self into pieces this makes it easier. You will also need a very good understanding of SMTP/IMAP/POP3 and TCP/IP to create these servers.
I would personally create a relay system (Like Spamassasin Spamd) that forwards your constructed emails onto an existing server.
There is no way to configure Tomcat to be an Email Server out of the box. It's a basic JSP/Java compiler with HTTP support (I am being very simplistic here so don't shout at me). not a mail system. However you can code Servlets to give it this support. Having multiple Tomcat servers running on the mail ports?
PS None of this is a good idea!

Mail Services: Is fetchmail supported?
