Mail Setup at OSX Server issues

I have several devices (iPad, iPhone, Desktop and Laptop) that access my email accounts (Personal-POP and Business-IMAP accounts) without any issues.
I'd like to use my Mac Mini OSX Server as a main client to all these emails account and collect emails and distribute it at my local network.
Is it possible? I'd like to use all resources from my ISP that can handle with virus, security ... but at the same time I'd like to keep local at this OSX Server all messages that we usually send and receive when we are using local network at office. I read manual several times but is not clear for me if this feature is available.
All suggestions will be welcome.

OS X Server and most mail servers do not include the ability to collect mail from remote servers, though it is possible to build a somewhat precarious scheme  based on forwarding messages from the remote servers involved. Google's mail service and its gmail client do have the ability to retrieve mail from other remote mail servers without resorting to forwarding mail around, but you'd need to integrate something like imapsync or fetchmail to perform this on OS X Server.  (Related — my old replies to related questions here in the forums will often mention imapsync, as well.)
In general when running a mail server that's accessible to the Internet, you'll need DNS and also static (fixed) IP from your provider for OS X Server and this is the preferred and most reliable means, this if if you want to send outbound mail through the server, or you'll need to relay your inbound and outbound mail through one of the relay services providers.  Static IP and proper DNS can also be a factor when receiving mail from some of the more cautious mail servers around.  Failing to have IP and DNS correct mails mail sent from your server can be dropped, and sometimes mail sent to your server will be dropped before being passed to your server.
OS X Server does include some spam- and malware-related capabilities and various Postfix, Amavis, ClamAV and related pieces to keep a lid on most typical spam shenanigans, though you might want additional services or the replacement of the OS X Server mail server with the mail package from Kerio.

    Hello again,
    I have tried sending messages from my webmail account in another domain and get the following reply:
    This is the Postfix program at host www.patrickwgill.com.
    I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned
    below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.
    For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>
    If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
    delete your own text from the message returned below.
    The Postfix program

    So, it appears to be just hanging for some reason and timing out. Any ideas? I really appreciate your help.

  • C5-03 mail setup cannot contact server

    Hi all,
    i'm trying to setup my gmail using the nokia mailing program.  But after entering my settings the phone just hangs on 'contacting email server' . (the longest I have waited is 15 minutes) Sometimes when I press cancel, the message 'unable to connect to server' appears, but not every time.
    So basically the steps I'm following are:
    messaging
    options -settings-email
    mailboxes - define new mailbox
    start
    select connection:  i choose my working WiFi
    I allow the application to use network
    testing network connection seems fine
    start
    I choose 'gmail'
    I enter my gmail address
    I enter my password
    then the never dissapearing 'contacting email server; comes up
    Can anyone help me because using email is one of the main reasons i bought this phone. 

    Same problem. And have you tried the FAQ section and used the troubleshooter. Must be the most useless FAQ I have ever seen.

  • Mac OSX Server Issue

    Hello Everyone,
    Hope someone can help me figure this situation out. I have a Mac OS X Server running Lion 10.7.4. I created few users under WGM with OpenDirectory, some users are able to login but some are not able to login for some weird reasons. For example: I created a user called "test1" with /Users/test1 directory, I was able to login using test1 username and password. I created another user called "jimmyjohn" with /Users/jimmyjohn but I'm not able to login with this user account. Both accounts are created identical and I'm logging into the same machine. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Pyraxic

  • Mail setup to exchange server 2003

    I can sent and receive mail using Entourage, however, Mac Mail will not connect to server on the incoming mail side. The password isn't recognised. The connection doctor reflects following:

    smtp.mac.com..... green
    192.xxx.x.xxx green connection and login succeeded (outgoing)

  • Optimum setup for OSX server for small LAN?

    Our new XServe takes a while to save files, etc. across the network. I don't know enough to configure everything properly, but I'm able to do enough to get it going. Is there an optimum network configuration for a small office who really only needs a file server? Should the two ethernet ports from the server be going directly into the switch? What's the best configuration for 5 computers, an xserve, a dsl modem, and a switch? Thanks!

    to give you some idea, I have a test intel xserve 10.5.2 server connected to a 10-100 switch read-write is almost instantaneous depending on file size
    (when OD has not crashed). no other services running other than AFP, DHCP, DNS, OD master. Another live tiger server with over 70 users,AFP, DHCP, DNS, OD, Mail. on average file read write access is few seconds dependent on file size over the wired lan. no complaints either on wireless.
    with only 5 users I would expect fast file access this would really be dependent on the file sizes and what other services your server is providing
    connecting all ports to the switch, you will only be able to use link aggregation if your switch supports it. you could also use the second port to monitor the xserve

  • Mac Mail password/ SMTP/ POP server issues

    I have been using Mac Mail on my MacBook for many years.  I have Yahoo Mail Plus POP mail. In the past several months I have had tons of problems, and keep resetting the password, POP & SMTP settings.  This time, I can't even get past the password prompt popping up.  It says I have the wrong password, but that is not the case.  I have even removed the email account entirely from MacMail, and tried to set it back up from the beginning, but no luck.
    I'm about to throw this thing out the window!  Can anyone help??
    Thanks-

    The correct way is to use the exact settings provided by your ISP when you set up your account with them.
    You can make a pretty good approximation by using this Apple web page. [Apple does not capture, store, use, or divulge the information entered in that form. It is simply a service for YOU.]

  • Xp to osx server issues

    I'm running a little OSX network at work with an old G4 imac running 10.4 as the hub. Connected to it via ethernet are 3 laptops running 10.5 and an Intel imac also running 10.5.
    We use the old G4 to store all our files, taking them off and putting them back to use them.
    Our problem is when we boot up into XP we can't see the G4 imac anywhere. File and Windows sharing is on, and we've fiddled around with a few settings within XP but we get nothing.
    Any ideas? Is it even possible to connect to a G4 through windows?

  • How do we setup OSX Server 10.4.9 to allow Windows XP SP2 to print?

    Background information:
    We have 3 printers setup on OSX Server 10.4.9.
    All 3 are shared in the Print Server as IPP & SMB.
    Windows Services are up and running as a PDC allowing users to login and use anything in their respective home folders from the Windows computers.
    All computers are on the same network/subnet.
    We have made no major changes to OSX Server at this point.
    Problem:
    Someone logs into one of the Windows computers using the Domain ran by OSX Server.
    In Windows explorer they goto \\SERVER. Once there they see all 3 printers and a "Printers and Faxes" folder containing the same 3 printers.
    The 3 printers inside "Printers and Faxes" allow their queues to be looked at in Windows but will not allow themselves to be connected to the Windows computer. They give the same message that the 3 printers outside of the "Printers and Faxes" folder give:
    "A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator."
    Question:
    What must we do in order to get the printers working for use with Windows?

  • New OSX Server Installation - User Home Folders Dissapear after on logout

    hi all,
    Can anyone help me identify this problem that i`m getting with a new fresh install and setup of OSX-server 10.4.10? Basically i have setup the server but when users are logging out of their binded 10.4.10 macs their home folders are dissapearing off of the server. If anyone needs anymore detailed information on the configuration please let me know
    thanks,

    Hi
    You will see the 99 folder on the Server. It will be in the folder designated for Home Folder creation and automounting. It gets created if there are no home folders.
    Is this the only server on the network?
    What happens if you create a new user and home folder, one whose log in name and password does not exist anywhere else and is also not the clients local admin account. On the client click other and log in with that account. On logout does this users home folder disappear off the server?

  • Help with OSX server mail setup

    Please if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful.  I have a company with an externaly hosted website and an an internally hosted email (OSX server).  I have everything kind of working, but some things don't seem quite right.  I'll explain below:
    I have a purchased domain: mycompany.com hosted by godaddy.
    I am using Godaddy name servers: ns65.domaincontrol.com and ns66.domaincontrol.com
    The external godaddy DNS has an a name entry for my mail server: mail pointing to 123.123.123.123 (which is my companies external static IP address).
    There is also a null (@) a name record for my website hosting service (squarespace) pointing to 456.456.456.456
    There is a cName record www pointing to the squarespace domain "www.squarespace6.com"  (know this is unusual, but it is how squarespace asks this to be set up and does not work otherwise)
    There is an MX record with priority 10 and host name @ pointing to mail.mycompany.com
    I have a airport extreme router with the appropriate ports forwarded to the OSX server.
    The DNS servers on the router are pointed to the internal IP address of the OSX server
    I did not change the domain name on the router (mistake?) it is currently san.rr.com
    On the OSX server I have set up host name to be mycompany.comDNS is set up with primary zone being mycompany.com
    Primary Zone entries include
    nameserver = mycompany.com
    machine record host name is mycompany.com and the IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server
    another machine record with host name "mail" and IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server.
    Finally, there is a mail exchanger record with mail server "mail.mycompany.com" and priority 10
    There are 2 entries autocreated in the Reverse zone
    Mail is setup and running on the OSX server providing mail for "mail.mycompany.com"
    Users are setup with email address: [email protected] (note: without the mail subdomain - I think this is OK?)
    I am using self signed certificate.
    In my clients (windows Thunderbird, Mac Mail, iOS mail), the settings are for the incoming mail server host name to be "mail.mycompany.com" and the outgoing also to be "mail.mycompany.com"
    I woud have expected this to be imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com respectively, but it doesn't work when I input these values and works with the former.  Have I set this up wrong??  imap seems to require SSL on port 993 and SMTP seems to require TLS on port 587.Outlook on PC gives me an error that after googling appears to be a problem with not recognizing a fuly qualified hostname form the SMTP client.  I see the fix, but wanted to know if that meant that my server didn't have a fully qualified host name and whether I should change that rather than just remove that restriction???
    The final problem is that my outgoing emails seem to be getting caught up in other people's spam filters too frequently.  What is the main reason for this?  Is it because I have set something up wrong and it brings up flags or is it simply because I am not a huge hosting company, or somethign else althogether?
    If you've gotten this far, big thanks!  If you can help me, even more thanks!

    Well, actually they are both getting caught up in spam filters and bounced back.  I actually realized that part of the problem is that I have a dynamic IP address, but it doesn't change.  Regardless, on the bounce back it looks like hotmail and other domains are rejecting email from my IP and recognize it as dynamic.  This was a test server that i would by physically taking to my business where there is a static business IP address (Cox).
    Sorry for the very long original message, but it seems that most people don't post enough information for the problem to be solved in their original posts and I was hoping to provide as much detail as possible.
    The other is the question of "are things set up right?"  It seems strange to me that both my outgoing and incoming servers are "mail.mycompany.com" and not imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com and I wonder if this is going to cause me to have problems?
    Is it a problem that my email addresses are [email protected] and not [email protected]?
    Was I supposed to change the domain name on the router?
    Also is it going to be a problem that I am using a self signed certificate?

  • New, Single Server - DNS, Web, Wiki, Mail Setup Issues

    I'm having some issues properly setting up 10.7.3 to host internal DNS and external Web, Wiki and Mail.  I'm having issues with the web and wiki hosting.  Since those are the most important right now, I haven't really had a chance to fully test the other features.  I was able to do some testing of the mail and iCal but it was limited.
    Long read below but I thought the specifics would be helpful...
    My goals and configuration are:
    ***GOALS***
    Primary:
    1) Host a public website: example.org and www.example.org
    2) Host a public wiki: main.example.org and www.main.example.org
    3) Host a public mail server: [email protected]
    4) Host a public, group calendar
    4a) Read only to majority - Read/Write to a group
    5) Host a global address book for authenticated users
    Secondary:
    6) Allow anonymous public access to a file share (read only)
    7) Allow authenticated access to the same file share (read/write)
    8) Do as much of this via GUIs as possible.
    ***SETUP AND CONFIGURATION***
    Physical:
    1) Business class Internet (no blocked ports)
    2) A single, public and static IP address
    3) Domain name and public DNS via GoDaddy
    4) Wildcard Cert: *.example.org from GoDaddy
    5) Late 2011 (bought in Jan 2012) MacMini Lion Server (the $1,000 one).
    5a) Upgraded the RAM to 16GB (need for VMware Windows clients)
    5b) Added two USB to Ethernet adapters.
    6) Using a new model AirPort Extreme Base Station (bought w/ the MM) as the main router.
    Initial Configuration:
    7) Setup a Mac Address reservation for the main and two USB Ethernet ports along with the wireless too.
    7a) Main port = 10.0.1.5 / Others are .6, .7 and .10
    8) During the setup, I chose the Host on the Internet (third) option and named my server: main.example.org
    9) After the setup completed, I upgraded the OS & Admin Tool to 10.7.3 from a clean install (on #5 now)
    DNS Config
    10) I used the admin tool to open DNS and change:
    11) "Primary Zone Name" from main.example.org to example.org.
    12) In the "Nameservers:" block, I changed the zone name there but left the nameserver name alone (zone: example.org /// Nameserver Hostname: main.example.org).
    13) The Machine Name and Reverse Zone was left alone.  RZ resolves to main.example.org.  sudo changeip -checkhostname is good.  dig on the example.org and main.example.org are good to go (NOERROR).
    OD Config
    14) From the server app, I clicked Manage/Network Accounts and setup the OD - No issues.
    SSL
    15) From the server app, I created self signed cert, generated a CSR, got a public Cert, then replaced the self-signed with the public one - No issues.
    16) Changed any service using the self-signed cert to the public one - No issues.
    17) Changed the cert in the OD to the public cert from server admin - No issues.
    In order: File Sharing, Mail, AB, iCal, Web, Wiki, Profile Manager, Network Groups, Network Users
    18) File Sharing was setup using the server app
    19) Setup mail using the server app to start it and the server admin app to configure it - No issues there (I think...)
    20) AB - Flipped the switch to on
    21) iCal - Flipped the switch to on - I setup the e-mail address to use after I added the network accounts.
    22) Web - Flipped the switch to on - Default site worked (main.example.org)
    23) Wiki - Flipped the switch to on - Default wiki worked. (main.example.org)
    24) PM - Checked the sign config profiles and enabled the device mgt.  I then flipped the switch to on - Default settings and pages worked.
    ***MY PROBLEMS***
    Website:
    Adding a website for example.org gave me the red dot in the server app.  To fix that, I added a Machine Name record to my primary zone (PZ = example.org Machine Name = example.org).  I first tried using the same 10.0.1.5 IP as the main.example.org and left the reverse mapping alone (still resolved to the NS of main.example.org).
    That gave me the green light in the server app when trying to add the website again.  From there, I changed the "Store Site Files In" to the location of my website files (and confirmed "Everyone" has Read Access in the folder's security settings).  I left the other info alone (all defaults accepted) and clicked done.
    Access to the website works on the server but external access doesn't (Network Error/timed out tcp_error).  Checked the AirPort settings using the AirPort utility (version 5.5.3) and the Port Mapping (under the "Advanced" icon) show serveral services all pointing to 10.0.1.5.  Thinking it could be DNS I tried main.example.org externally and it failed the same way.
    I ran the changeip command (good to go) and dig on example.org and main.example.org and they both resolved to 10.0.1.5 correctly.
    I removed the example.org Machine Record from the zone and it now looks like:
    PZ=example.org / ZONE=example.org / NS=main.example.org
    Machine Record=main.example.org / IP=10.0.1.5
    RM=10.0.1.5 / Resolves=main.example.org
    PLEASE HELP!

    The amount of users (if relevant):
    On site - 1 (Me)
    Off site - 16 (Windows clients - some have iOS devices too)
    Web site traffic - less than 50 regular visits per day (avg of 15) with a peek of ~125 once a month.
    This is for a 501c3 public nonprofit made of all unpaid volunteers (including the officers and directors).  All of us have paying day jobs and I just so happen to be the guy that knows just enough to get myself in trouble here.

  • Mail setup issue

    Hi all.
    I have recently just made the leap of faith and decided to move away from a PC/Microsoft platform, and have purchased an iMac. There are obviously a lot of differences which I am getting my head around and it is going to take some time and patience, however the biggest thing that is puzzling me at the moment is the mail client.
    I have a few email addresses, but my main one is through my ISP, BT Internet. When configuring this as a POP3 account in Outlook on my PC, it runs fine and physically removes copies of the mail from the webmail server. With the Mac however, the email is downloading to the machine, but it is not removing the copy from the webmail server, which I am having to do manually.
    I have read a few articles on the support forums and it seems a few people have had this issue, but there doesn't appear to be an option for me to remove the mail from the server when they download to the client. Any help would be massively appreciated.
    I have noticed that the account has been setup in the mail client as an IMAP account, but I can't see any way of being able to setup a POP3 account.
    If it makes any difference I am running OSX 10.9.4 and version 7.3 of Mail.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    If you have the settings for POP, delete the existing account. Add a new account and when the 1st screen is filled, hold down the option/alt key while clicking continue. That should allow you to manually set up the account.
    Then go Mail/Preferences/Accounts, select the account, then Advanced where there is an option to remove from server.

  • Migrating from Maildir to OSX server mail

    Hi,
    I have a Linux machine running Qmail (smtp, pop), Courier (imap) and Squirrelmail.
    About 20 users on the machine.
    Most users use webmail only.
    The users are all 'virtual' users, under vpopmail.
    This machine uses Maildir for mail storage.
    I want to move all mail to the new OSX server.
    The new server will be working the same way - webmail.
    I'm not sure where to start.
    Thanks in advance for any pointers.

    agostini,
    I've successfully moved users off a similar setup (Debian Linux, Courier IMAP, SquirrelMail) to my new Xserve. I used imapsync-1.239
    http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/
    (it's about halfway down the page - Dec 2007 release)
    I initially tried using the MacPorts install of the same version, but it constantly failed to authenticate with the Xserve. I have my Xserve setup for always using CRAM-MD5 auth. (Make sure you have all of the Perl MD5 modules install, including the optional ones, if you use MD5 auth). So, I downloaded it and compiled it directly. This eventually worked and with only a couple of bad emails, out of thousands, that did not transfer. It also will retain flags set on the previous server (seen, replied, etc.). I ran it from the Xserve and connected to the Linux box remotely.
    I have no experience with Qmail.
    If you use procmail on the Linux machine though, you will need to recreate those scripts as sieve scripts on the Mac. I found the SquirrelMail plugin for sieve scripts most helpful.

  • Outgoing mail server issue

    I cannot send outgoing my mail from my email account. Its saying
    two servers marked with
    alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved.
    two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings
    . resolve the certificate and try again.
    Ive delete the account now and re set them up but it still has an issue with the outgoing server which are the same .... Can anyone help?
    jen

    Is this MobileMe or dot Mac?
    If so...
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
