Mail to Group Mailing List bouncing

I migrated mail to a new machine with a new OD.
There are several issues that came up.
1. [email protected] used to work magically. I don't see this group in the old OD, so I don't know how it sent mail out, or how members were put into it.
2. A new group, [email protected], will give strange bounce messages such as:
<[email protected]> (expanded from <[email protected]>):
data format error. Command output: Apr: Mailbox does not exist
<[email protected]> (expanded from <[email protected]>):
data format error. Command output: 29: Mailbox does not exist
<"@mail.fantasyflightgames.com> (expanded from
<[email protected]>): data format error. Command output: 17:54:29:...
Several other groups have the same behavior, so I suspect someones aliases are messed up, but don't know where to look or how to figure out the problem user, short of sending an email to each person individually.
Thanks for any help.

I fixed this, it was basically a bad email address, somehow during the migration a bit of garbage text was appended to an email address for an account.

How to create a group mailing list in JavaMail?

Hello,
I've been searching through the entire API, specifically the InternetAddress class and I can't seem to find out how to create a group/mailing list. Does anyone know how to do this?
That is, I would like to be able to group a bunch of e-mail addresses together and give that group a name "my friends". Then send it off using this 'group mail address' as opposed to an array of InternetAddress[]. Then when the recipients receive the e-mail, they see "my friends" in the To: field, instead of everyone's e-mail address...
Is this possible in JavaMail? I've tried many things like creating an InternetAddress object passing in a comma-delimited list of e-mail addresses but it doesn't like it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi:
I have the same problem. I've read JavaMail implements RFC 822 which allow mailing lists. But, �how can I implement it with JavaMail?

I dont receive e-mails with attachment sent to OS X Server 3.0.1 Group-mailing lists

I have a small company using a mac mini with mavericks and server 3.0.1.
We are using most of the services available in OS X server (except DHCP, Netinstall and Xsan). One of the services we use the most is Mail server, and the whole company uses that as our primary mail server.
We have set up several different Groups and activated group-mailing lists on some of them. The setup has been working very good for over a year (started using it with Mountain Lion Server).
Recently I was going to send a christmas card to all employees using the workgroup mailing list. I was using the stationaries in Mail, and it was sent as normal but never recieved by me or any of the other employees. Below is the SMTP Log
Dec 6 17:10:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: connect from unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*]

Dec 6 17:11:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: disconnect from unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*]
I did some trial and error and it seems like it is linked to the fact that I have attachments to the email. Sending an email with only text is recieved like normal. Even attacment like PDF or jpg is "blocked" it seems. I have tried using email outside my domain but still the same result. Sending the same email (with attachment) to all reciepients (not using the mailiing list) works and is recieved by everyone. I have turned off all email filtering settings on the server but still the same result.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? My guess is that this is a Server 3.0.1 hickup, so it would be nice to get confirmation from others experiencing the same.

How do I create group email mailing lists?

How do I create a group email mailing list?

Open Contacts - its in the Applications folder.
In the menu bar click File, and select New Group. In the left column of Contacts there will be a new item called untitled group. (You can change the name.)
Next click All Contacts on the left, and drag and drop the names you want in the new group.
To send an email to the group you start a new message and type the group name in the To: field.

OD Group members not synchronized to mailing lists

We have some Groups in the SLS OD that we configured as wikis to distribute Dokuments to the members. Last year the configuration of the wiki vanished from the workgroup manager and I think since then the members of the groups were no longer synced with the mailing lists.
This is what I tried:
I looked after /etc/aliases and found it was an old version (it misses new members and has old ones).
So I looked where it was built from and found /Library/Application Support/Apple/mailinglists/mailinglists.plist. If I delete this file it is rebuild but with the old accounts.
So I think there is missing a actual synchronisation between the OD and the mailinglists.plist file. But how it is done?

Hi ,
SharePoint 2010 permission group cannot have email address but AD Security Group can.
If you want to make your AD Group and members address are created, you may want to use the PowerShell like Set-mailbox “MailboxAddress” -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $true to enable "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on e-mail address
policy", here are two articles about this.

And for more questions about the AD user and Exchange mail address, you can post in Exchange server forum and be able to get a better assistance there,

Enable group mailing list in Server.app not working

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to enable a new (?) feature of Server.app : "Enable group mailing list". Until now, it does not work for me. When I try to send an email to the group [email protected], Mail tells me that the smtp server cannot send my message. Here is what I see on the server's /var/log/mail.log file :
Sep 10 16:55:54 testserver01.pretendco.net postfix/smtpd[2311]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from testclient01.pretendco.net[10.1.101.10]: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<testclient01.pretendco.net>
Sep 10 16:55:54 testserver01.pretendco.net postfix/smtpd[2311]: disconnect from testclient01.pretendco.net[10.1.101.10]
It is interesting to note that group mailing list aren't even mentioned in the Mac OS X Server Advanced Administration Guide :

Does any has any good/bad experience with group mailing lists under Mountain Lion Server ? Any advice ?
Thanks a lot !

Hello Mark23 and thanks for your help !
The log says nothing particular when I (un)set the "Enable Group Mailing List Option". The only difference I see is a line saying mail_groups[127]: sleeping for: 1 hour(s). I have no idea what this means exactly. Googling it did not help me much either.
I post the /etc/aliases file below. Interesting : every time I (un)set the "Enable Group Mailing List" option, the /etc/aliases last access time changes. But the md5 hash of the file stays the same.
I guess that the "sudo newaliases" uses /etc/aliases to construct the binary database file /etc/aliases.db ? It seems that this script is run every time I (un)check the option since the access time of *both* /etc/aliases and /etc/aliases.db are changed to the current time.
Do you have any other option checked ?
Here is my /etc/aliases (I removed the blocks of comments at the beginning and at the end):

Group Id mailing list technique

How to use group id technique (from selection screen) for shooting the mails to respective mail ids after occurrence of some event . I have used the method for sending the mails to respective ids by maintaining a custom table for mail ids, but now i have the requirement to use group id on selection screen. Can anyone please suggest me on this?

I have puzzled over this a just figured out why ours weren't working.
Some background...In WGM, all users have a primary group and other groups. The primary group is stored with the user record in the LDAP directory, the "other groups" entries are stored in the Groups container in the directory as a Member list for each group.
For WGM to list all users in a particular group, it must display the Member list from the Group and then search the Users container for all users with that group as their primary group. (you've probably noticed in the WGM group lists, primary group member are in italic and "other" group members are not)
I have found that when you enable the mailing list for that group, /usr/sbin/mailgroupexpander is not searching the Users container in the LDAP directory for members who have that group as their primary group, thus if no one in your group has that as apart of "Other Groups" no members will be added to the list, or in the case where all the members are primary members, the list isn't created.
To remedy the issue, you must add the group to the "other groups" list for each user. Unfortunately, this will cause your groups lists to show every member twice, unless you change their primary group to a group where you don't need a mailing list.

Multiple copies of mailing list groups in Groupwise

We are running GroupWise 7.0.3 HP 4 client. We have a user who had 4 copies of her mailing list groups in Groupwise. We had her clean up address books, deleteing all but the last entry worked for cleaning. However, when she tries to copy that address bokk out so she can organize better, it makes two copies again.

How is she trying to "copy" that address book? And where exactly is it
making two copies?

Group Mailing Lists and Email Addresses

Howdy All,
A couple of quick questions:
1. When a Group mailing list is created does this create an equivalent Mailman mailing list (i.e. that would appear at the Mailman list URL)? I'm not so much concerned as to whether Groups uses Mailman behind the scenes just whether or not one could "further" admin the group mailing list through the admin interface.
2. What happens when you have a username "x", a group name "x" (which I commonly used on other Unixes) with a mailing list (implictly named "x"), and a Mailman mailing list named "x" (what was created as a Mailman mailing list in Server Admin) and then you email x@serverDNSname? Because I often use the same user and groups names this could be quite common.
Thanks for any thoughts on these puzzles.
Cheers,
Ashley.

I am beginning to suspect a combination problem- i.e. bad converter and bad Admin Tools.
The 10.6 Mail Admin manual states that:
+In Workgroup Manager, enable the Mailing List service for each group you want to have a mailing list address.+
+The setting is located in the Basic group options in Workgroup Manager.+
However, I no longer have these options in Admin Tools. I had them in 10.5.8, but not in 10.6 or 10.62 tools. I took a screenshot of the basic tab in WM:
Image: !http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/dunkelza/Screenshot2010-01-08at81609AM. jpg!
I checked the About Workgroup Manager menu item and got "Version 10.6.2 (361.2.1)"
So it appears that the update to 10.6 not only failed to convert the LDAP settings correctly and/or map them to the mail system; but, that the update also removed my ability to see this and fix it through the GUI.

Mailing lists - Unsubcribes and bounces

When exporting mailing lists from Business Catalyst, are unsubscribes automatically tagged in some way, or removed? And are email addresses that have bounced also indicated in some way? If not, do these two processes need to be undertaken manually?

Finally solved it...
The whole POSTFIXSTYLE_VIRTUALDOMAINS line was not necessary and was the wrench in the works for this particular configuration. Here is the winning combination I used to get a mailing list to accept mail from a virtual domain:
The main mail domain on this machine is mail.domainPrime.com; the virtual mail domains are mail.virt1.com and mail.virt2.com
Create the list using the Mailman web interface. Once created, I went to it's url (http://mail.domainPrime.com/mailman/admin/list) and changed its preferred hostname from mail.domainPrime.com to virt1.com and saved.
in /etc/postfix/virtual I added the following to the bottom:
[email protected] [email protected]
[email protected] [email protected]
in /etc/postfix/main.cf I added the following to the bottom:
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/32,172.16.1.0/24
virtualaliasmaps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
I then used the following commands:
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
postfix reload
After performing these additions, I was able to send mail to the lists of the virtual domains. I can't attest that this is best-practice, but it is working for me. Hope this helps anyone else looking to do the same, and if you have any suggestions to improve my setup, let me know since I am not too skilled in Postfix and Mailman.

Enable server group mailing list

I am try to figure out why I cannot get the server group mailing list to work. I have a group called testgroup in my OD and have 4 users added to it. I restarted the server after I ticked the box "enable server group mailing list" in Mail/settings/Mailing list and when I send an email to testgroup the mail client rejects the address. What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is create a group email account.
Any help greatly appreciated.

HI John,
The group settings in WGM SL and Leopard are different.
Yes, they are. I booted to my eval copy of SL Server and ran through the settings in WGM, Server Admin and Server Preferences; as you pointed out, all the mail list admin tools I could find are in the Mail service in Server Admin.
The only thing that may be of interest that I could find is that for the group mail list, the email address for the group is group_shortname@ServerDNSname, not groupshortname@yourdomain (this is in the Mail Services Admin Guide for 10.6). This might explain why your email to the group may have been rejected?

Cannot enable group mailing list

Hi,
Running 10.5.2 server on Xserve, server acts as OpenDirectory master and Mail sever.
We have a normal mail service running fine, but trying to enable the "Mailing List" option for groups results in an error.
"Error of type eDSInvalidAttributeType (-14131) on line 733 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319/Plugins/GroupAccounts/GroupB asicPluginView.mm"
Web service is enabled, and appears as the option for the dropdown "Enable services for this group on:", but even just choosing the server from the dropdown and attempting to save the config (without turning on any services) results in this error.
Can anyone help with what this means?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
In Mail service -> General -> ensure "Enable SMTP" is checked,
if you don't desire to send outgoing from clients then don't select any authentication methods in Mail Service -> Security -> SMTP,
In Mail service ->Mailing Lists ensure that "Enable server group mailing lists" is checked,
once that is done, per website -> Web Services ensure "Mailing List web archive" is checked if you want mail to appear on the website,
For each group ensure "Mailing list" is checked, and "Mailing List web archive" if you want the group email repository on the website.
At least one group member should have an email account or a Forward to email address for the mail to go somewhere, assuming Web archive is not selected.
Send an email to the group address at [email protected] and look in the SMTP log for teamsserver to receive the email and then forward to individual addresses.
Hope this helps,
Harry

Groups-Enable Group Mailing List

I just upgraded from Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server to Mac OS X 10.8.3 Server. I had an Employee Mailing List working under Mac OS X 10.6.8, but can't seem to get the new Group Mailing List to work that was created in Groups in Mac OS X 10.8.3.
When trying to send an email to the group "[email protected]" I get the message "Cannot send message using the server". I gave the group access to Mail but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Yes, it works, but the Mail Overview still return Mailing Lists Stopped, and I don't know why...
This is the procedure:
- on server open terminal
- then use these commands
1) sudo touch /etc/postfix/aliases
2) sudo newaliases
3) sudo postfix reload
that's all!
You can also see page 36/37 of Mail Service Administrator Guide

Delete an entry from group mailing list

Does anyone know how to remove entries from a group mailing list?
There is no edit button and the list is not visible in mailman?
Thanks in advance
Gary Finch

I would like to know that myself! Afer a long search I was only able to find the following information:
http://rickcogley.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-remove-leopard-wiki-mailing-list.h tml
I'd be glad to know if another (more user friendly) way exists. The MailServiceAdmin.pdf apparently wrongly suggests that mailmain can be used to administer server based mailing lists. Is there any "official" way to manage the mailing list and its web archive?
