Mailing 2000+ email addresses

Hi i'm about to do a huge mail-out (2000+) for a client and was wondering if the default settings in the mail server will allow this or will it bounce back, they plan to send via my SMTP, as their current ISP apparently has set a limit on their SMTP of 200 messages per hour. will this work? if not what's my best option?
thanx

Hi
I know of one site that regularly sends out 3-5000 emails fairly regularly - every couple of months or so? Apple's Mail Server has generally no problems with that amount and I don't think it would have with more? In that respect 2000 is not really a lot? I'm guessing here but I would imagine once you get into the 25,000 and upwards category, that would probably count as a lot? There are some contributors on these boards who have knowledge of and regularly handle that amount of mail and more. You could browse both Mail Forums (10.4 and 10.5) and see what you get? I have seen this question asked before.
If a problem is going to be anywhere it will be with your ISP and what limits they set. It's probably the best place to ask how many is how many? That's assuming you're using your ISP as a relay for outbound mail? At the site I've mentioned the ISP was called first and made aware of the site's intentions. I would say this would be a useful thing to do not only out of courtesy but also to announce your intention to them. They can then set a limit of (for example) 500 in bursts of 10-15 minutes each until all the mail is sent.
From your point of view all your mail was sent in one go. What happens to it after that is down to your ISP and what you can arrange with them. If your mail server is configured to send mail directly to the internet then I don't think 2000 mail messages in one burst is classed as UBE? Although a lot depends on recipient mail servers and how they are configured in terms of receiving large quantities of mail? In my experience most mail servers will pretty much keep accepting mail regardless. That is unless the hardware/software used at the recipient end gets completely swamped and packs up. Although that can be down to other reasons not related to the amount of mail received?
I'm not an expert on this by any means but hopefully this might help?

When I type in the email address I want to send an email to, mail suggests email addresses i never use

I am using Apple's Mail application on my MacBook Pro for 3 emails. One personal, one for my work place and one for my university email address. From the university I receive lots of emails which isn't sent only for me, but every student on my course, so I am not the only receiver.
When I am sending an email, from any of my email addresses and I type in whom I want to send it to, it shows a bunch of email addresses that I have never sent an email to. They are all university email addresses and I want to get rid of them, but they are not in my address book and I have no clue how to delete them / where to find them.
For example: I wanted to send an email from my work place email to James Fox. He's email is [email protected] (just an example). When I start to type in James.f, about 100 email addresses pop up, but none of them is the one I need and I will never need those and I CANT GET RID OF THEM.
Please help me, how to get rid of all these unwan

How is the university account added to your system? (You should be able to find it in either System Preferences - Internet Accounts, or Mail - Preferences). Is it an Exchange account, perhaps? I wonder if you're seeing a centralized contact group that can't be controlled from your computer (but you may be able to turn it off completely).

Mail Program, email address hyperlink

I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard but had same problem in Leopard. In mail when I type an email address in the body of the message it does not appear as a hyperlink [in blue and underlined]. Is there a way that I can activate that feature?

Hi newbee 59: I just experimented with the issue. Although it doesn't show up as an underlined link during the composing process. An email will have the address show up as a Clickable link in the email at the received end.
Hope this helps

Why can't Mail access email addresses from Contacts?

So, here is a typical scenario: I have an email to write to a friend of mine. Being a close friend of mine, his email address is saved in Contacts. I boot up Apple Mail, and create a new email. So far so good. I start typing my friend's name into the "To:" field, but nothing comes up in the auto-search. I remember how his email starts, so I start typing his email in, but once again, nothing comes up. I boot up Contacts, just to be sure, and his email is in there. Finally I copy and paste it into Mail.
WHAT THE ****??? AM I MISSING SOMETHING??
I know that I can look up Contacts from within Mail, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want Mail to automatically start search through my Contacts whenever I start typing into the To: field. But instead, it only searches through my previous recipients? I've also noticed that it doesn't pull up email addresses that were CC'd on emails I've recieved. In order to find those, I have to do a Spotlight search in Mail (which immediately finds the email address and even identifies it as a person), and then copy and paste it from Mail into Mail.
Am I missing some setting? When did the automatic search in the To: field become useless? Did I go into a coma and wake up in a world where Apple hates a positive user experience? Which OS update killed this functionality and why?
Really, any light on the subject or work-arounds would be appreciated. I've tried Postbox, and while the To: search works sensibly there, the program is slow as molassas. It is as awful to use as Mail, just in different ways. I'd switch to browser based email, but I have three addresses, and Gmail only imports POP accounts, one of mine is IMAP only . . . honestly, I'm to the point where I want to just stop using email all together. I have other complaints, but this is the most inexplicable and annoying.
Maybe I'll invest in carrier pidgeons.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Workflow send mail to email addresses

Hi,
I have created a workflow wherein i have insrted a user decision node and 2 output is there one is accept and another one reject.

2> As you have put send mail task in both accept & rejevt branch ...it should trigger mail based on your
     action and send it to extenal mail id.
3> Now if you click on accept button ....... and the mail task which you have inserted will trigger mail to
     id which you have maintained.
4> When you click on the reject button............ it will send mail to id which you have maintained in
     task.
5> If u you have set mail id to sap id of user then you can see it in Tcode SBWP.If you are sending mail
    to external mail id( outlook, gmail etc)........it will be visible in your external mail inbox if SCOT
     configuration are properly set in your system for SMTP node.You can still see the external mail in
     sap system in Tcode SOSG.

Trying to SEND in Mail from email addresses not from my ISP verizon

I have Verizon fiber optic. All is okay except, I can't SEND from Apple's Mail program, when I try to send from an email address that I set up elsewhere. Receiving is fine. Just sending doesn't work. Verizon tech support worked with me for 2 hours with no success. the @verizon email addresses receive AND send, just not SENDING by way of my other POP accounts, which according to my web host should work.
I thought Mail could do this. Am I wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Mail, version 1.3.11

What doesn “I can't send” mean? What’s the problem exactly? What error messages do you get, if any?
In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
Read the following article, which applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states) and can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac):

IOS8: Mail app Email Address changes in ActiveSync Account information

Hello all!
I manage an Exchange 2010 mail system for my company, with approximately 500 mobile devices, a majority of which are iOS using ActiveSync.
Since the upgrade to iOS8, I've seen an issue in the account information for Mail app where after some time (maybe a few days) the Email address (the primary SMTP address) gets changed to the userPrincipalName (UPN) account name from Active Directory. These are different from each other. For our organization (and I'm sure for many others) this is a problem that comes up when the user wants to "Reply to All," the device sends the message back to the user since it thinks the UPN is a different address/account than the SMTP address.
This only came about after the upgrade to iOS8 (also apparent in 8.1) and is affecting all devices. I can change the address to the proper primary SMTP address but it will change back to the UPN after a few days. I'm assuming it is getting the UPN from Exchange Auto Discover, but again this didn't happen previous to iOS8 and is not affecting any other devices using ActiveSync to receive mail.
Thank you for your help!

The problem is actually not in the capitalization of the address itself, but in the prefix of the mailbox e-mail addresses.
For example, you might have these e-mail addresses configured for a mailbox:
SMTP: [email protected]
smtp: [email protected]
SIP:[email protected]
...the correct e-mail address for the account is obviously the first one in this list. But in the configuration for this example, Exchange is sending both the "SMTP" and "SIP" as primary e-mail addresses, and iOS is displaying the SIP address, which is incorrect.
I tested this workaround and it works. Either remove the other addresses with a capitalized prefix, or change them to "sip:[email protected]" (to match your naming convention)
Hope this helps.

ML mail.app email addresses overlapping?

Hi,
I recently upgraded to ML and so far, I have only noticed this one small problem. In Mail.app, when viewing a message, the email addresses in the headers sometimes display overlapping one another. In the image below, I have intentionally blurred a couple of email addresses for privacy reasons.
My problem is concerning the overlapping text. It appears that the line starting "Peter,..." is errantly wrapping to the next line and overlapping with the text that should be on the next line. I know that the "...Corporate, Consultant)..." should be part of the "Peter,..." line.
The issue is sporadic and does not happen to all messages. Any ideas on why this could be happening? Perhaps a bug?
Thanks,
Matthew

SO28 Inbound Mail Sender Email Address not available - after SAP upgrade

We have recently upgraded support packages on our R/3 system and
discovered that inbound emails (SO28) that could previously be identified by
the email address in the format of typical email address format are now coming
into the system in the format outlook display nameu2018lastname, firstnameu2019. We use the email address to validate against the SU01 data to make sure the email is coming from a valid user. This is causing our custom written validation of the inbound email address to fail.
We are using function module SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1 and retrieving the
email address from the field document_data-send_fnam.
We have updated the following support packages
BASIS 6.40 SP 17 to 21
ABAP 6.40 SP 17 to 21
SAP HR 5.00 SP 21 to 39
PI_BASIS 2005_1_640 SP8 to 13
SAP APPL 5.00 SP 10 to 18
PI 2004_1_500 SP12 to 17
EA_FINSERV SP10 to 18
Has anyone ran into similar issue? If you have, could you let me know how did you resolve your issue.
Thank you.

How to define a mail group email address?

Hi,
I have defined several groups and would like to use them as a mail group. By the default the address is [email protected]
I have defined several virtual domains on my server that can accept mails for individual user. I would like to have the following address working [email protected]
How can I set it up as the email cannot be set for groups in the workgroup manager (It is only working for users).
I also tried with the directory utility but I can create an Emailaddress key for a group or an user but it is not taken into account by the mail server. (workgroup manager probably does more than just creating an entry on the open directory :-( )
Thanks for you help !
Frédéric

group addresses have been broken for some time.
I've used scripts to create aliases based on a group name and its members.
Below is a script that I've used on 10.7 with users in LDAP.
Any group which has a comment of 'mail' will be turned into an alias with the proper recipients.
You'll need to run it on a schedule (unless you want to run it manually) and you'll need to modify it for 10.8 and your specific environment.
I'll try to put together a 10.8 version sometime soon...
cd /etc/postfix
# clear current aliases
echo "" > group_aliases.tmp
# Get list of groups with 'mail' in the comment field
gr=`dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Groups Comment | grep mail | awk '{print $1}'`
for group in $gr
   do
      echo $group: `dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -read /Groups/$group dsAttrTypeNative:memberUid | cut -d : -f 3 | grep -v "No such key"` >> group_aliases.tmp
   done
cmp -s group_aliases.tmp group_aliases > /dev/null
   if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
      echo different
      cp group_aliases.tmp group_aliases
      /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/postfix/group_aliases
      /usr/bin/newaliases
   else
      echo same
   fi
exit

10.7 SMTP Mail Logs send email address- Assign Postmaster?

How do you assign the SMTP mail log email address? I received an email this morning from another System Administrator (who previously administered this server), that he received the following message (I should be receiving these notifications, not him. To add: I was already the "Alert Email Address." Is there another location, where the SA's email address is set?):

I am having the same problem. I also can't send anything with attachments at all. Mail Just hangs there endlessly. This is a HUGE problem for me right now, and I don't feel like using entourage mail because it is not really reliable either. Does anyone know how to get a direct hold of Mac Telephone Support or engineering? I need to fix this problem like right now. We need to go back one level of code. Mr. Logic... This is my third day since I downloaded this code revision too, so please let me know what you find out, and I will do the same for you. I should have known better than to install this code without reading up on the issues and fixes.

Since downloading the 10.4.7 update I've experienced
the mail problem wherein emails can't be sent to the
smtp server. I've read all the discussions on all
the various fora, and tried all the fixes (e.g.
downloading the combo update instead, trashing mail
preferences, repairing permissions, setting up mail
again from scratch, looking for the SOCKS proxy,
resetting the PRAM, etc. etc. etc.) but all to no
avail.
Note that in my case the SOCKS proxy checkbox was
NEVER ticked/checked and so I couldn't uncheck it
(which was the fix that seems to have worked for most
people).
Anyway... last night I thought would try setting the
SOCKS proxy checkbox myself, so that I could then
uncheck it. (you never know!)
However, when doing this I noticed that any changes I
made to the proxy checkboxes in the Network system
preference panel ARE NOT SAVED.
i.e. If I tick one or more of them and Apply the
changes, then exit the Network Preferences panel, the
relaunch the Network Preferences panel, they are all
UNCHECKED again.
Is this related to my Mail problem? Any clues?
This is my 3rd day without the ability to send email
from the Mail client in 10.4.7. Not good.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
