Multiple IP address (alias) - 1 NIC - setting default outgoing IP

I have a mac that I use for a web server. I have two IP addresses on the same interface, say x.x.x.5 and x.x.x.6, Usually when starting a connection out of this box, I get x.x.x.5 as my IP address. Occasionally though, I end up with x.x.x.6 which causes me some grief with some rules for ssh etc.
The x.x.x.5 address if 'first' in the list of Network Port configurations, but on these rare occasions, where I have trouble, ifconfig obviously shows x.x.x.6 first. If I 'ifconfig en1 -alias x.x.x.6' and 'ifconfig en1 alias x.x.x.6' the x.x.x.5 address gets it's first place again and everything is rosy again.
Any ideas (aside from writing scripts to test and fix the condition) how to keep the order that I want??
Thanks,

The question may well be how you're setting up the
additional IP address.
Are you using a startup script to execute the
ifconfig commands?
Have you duplicated your interface in System
Preferences?
Are you using /etc/IPAliases to configure them?
I have set them up with the System Preferences pane.
There is no /etc/IPAliases on my system.
IPAliases appears to be a Mac OS X Server thing by the looks of this:

Setting default outgoing email address

I have multiple email addresses that I use in Mail, on my MacBook. Most of them are gmail accounts. Two are godaddy accounts, with personal domain names. I want to have a "main" one (a gmail account) that all my mail goes out from. If I'm in the "wrong mailbox," it goes out from that mailbox, hence getting missed by people, who have rules set up to look for email from my main email address.
So, I followed the instructions, in the help setting, which said:
How to change the default account and "From" address
Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.1.5
The default account when composing a new message in Mail is the one listed first in the Description column of Mail Preferences. To change this default, you only need to change the order of the names.
Follow these steps:
1. Choose Mail > Preferences.
2. Click Accounts.
3. Drag account names in the Description column to change their order. The account that is listed first is the default account that is used whenever you open a new mail window.
Mac OS X 10.2 and later
The "From" address for a new message will generally be the same as the "To" address of the message that is currently selected. If no message is selected, then the "From" address associated with the currently selected mailbox will be used, if there is one. Otherwise, the default "From" address will be used as described above.
This is not so, so 10.6.3 Mac OS X. Does anyone know how to make my "main" address the default outgoing email address, whatever address box is highlighted?
Thanks in advance!!!!!

How to configure multiple IP addresses on one NIC?

Hi,
I just installed a OVM Server in version 3.2.1 and the according VMManager. Now i wanted to try to configure the Server/Server Pool. Now i come across a problem, which was already a big problem in OVM 2 while configuring the Networks.
All our OVM Servers have three NICs in them. One is for VMs and Management, the others are for connection to our SAN (Dell PowerVault MD 3220i). My problem is, that due to the network setup, the two NICs for storage need two IP addresses in two different networks each. This shouldn't be a problem, because usually in linux all you have to do is configure something like eth1:1. I remember having huge trouble configuring it in our OVM 2 cluster up to the point where I had to write a shell script to configure the second IP.
Anyways, I have configured two of the storage networks on eth1 and eth2 of the VM Server. Now i cannot configure any more IP addresses, because eth1 and eth2 are not available anymore for configuration in a third network. I really hoped that it would be possible in OVM 3 to configure multiple IP addresses. And probably it is only my lack of knowledge of how to configure it.
So any advice is well appreciated.
Thanks!

Marek Hubatka

You should be able to do this by using "VLAN Groups".

Check out the VLAN groups section. You must great the VLAN groups before you can assign them to interfaces.

Set Default Outgoing Email address

I have the curve 8330, and two email addresses. One is for my work, the other my private. I'd like to use my private email as the default for all outgoing messages. I have used the following "Advanced options -> default service -> change CMIME filed -> press menue -> click save.
I have my personal email set as default on both the 'change' options, however, when I send out a message my work email is showing up as the 'from' address. How can I change this option without permanently deleting my work email. I want to be able to read my work email, however, that is the extent of it on my personal BB.
Thanks,
Solved!

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
I don't know if this is a feature on your BB/OS, but run some tests to see. What happens on mine is the first time I initiate a new email to a contact in my contact list, it will indeed default to my work address -- and I must override it to whichever of my personal addresses I might want. But, the second time I send to that contact, it remembers the address I used as "from" the last time...and uses that as the default this next time. I've actually come to very much like this feature as I don't have to, in subsequent email sessions, remember to change it...just the first time.
Cheers!

If someone in your address book has multiple email addresses, how do you set which address is the primary one to which email is sent? (Or does it go to all addresses?)

Adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account

Can someone please tell me how to add another e-mail address to my Mail account. I have tried using info from the Mail Help file, both "adding another account" and "adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account". Each time when I try to send a test message to or from the added e-mail address, I get the same message: "Cannot send message using the server mail.bellsouth.net. Use the Pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server". The only pop-up is smtp .Mac.
I have tried both methods shown in the HELP file and get the same message. I would really appreciate your help.

Are you trying to add a second email account to Mail, or just add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account?
If the former, we need to know some more detail, like:
(1) who is the existing account, .mac or bellsouth?
(2) Which are you trying to add, .mac or bellsouth?
(3) I assume your ISP is Bell South?
(4) What are the names of the smtp servers and what are their respective smtp server port numbers?
(5) Are either of them using SSL on the smtp server?
(6) I don't remember whether Tiger Mail has it or not, but in Leopard Mail, on the menu bar under "Window" there is a selection "Connection Doctor." If applicable to Tiger Mail, what does it say about your connections?
(7) Which account can you send mail through and which one can't you send mail through?
(8) Are your receiving mail okay through either or both accounts? Which one(s)?
Now if you are trying to add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > mail account > Email Address, just add a second email address separated by a comma like so:
[email protected], [email protected]
You could have an issue with bellsouth or .mac requiring the domain name in the apparently from email address to match the domain name of the smtp mail server.

How do you set up multiple IP addresses on a web server?

I have a block of 8 fixed IP address, 5 are useable for websites. I have a netopia router and I would like my server to be able to host several different sites using a secure server. I know you can only host one secure site for one fixed IP address. I have been using one IP address and hosting virtual domains up to now. I don't know how to set the router and the server up to make this work. Everything I have tried has failed. I have tried IP mapping and passthrough but I can only make one IP address work. Not multiple. Any advise would be appreciated.

Since you're looking to host multiple SSL sites, no matter what you do you're going to need to setup multiple IP addresses on your server.
I would NOT recommend running the server at your edge - there are valid reasons for using firewalls and NAT devices. Instead, configure your server with multiple private IP addresses (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, whatever you prefer).
Then, in Server Admin, configure your SSL web sites. Bind each one to a specific IP address.
This is different from your non-SSL web sites, which presumably have 'any' as their IP address.
Then setup your Netopia router to port-forward port 443 on each public IP address to the corresponding private IP address on the server.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Mail app in G4 tower... setting default outmail address

Default outgoing email address for multiple emails

How do I set up one of my many email addresses on my I-phone to be the default outgoing email for all of them?

If you have set up one of your email accounts to be the default, all emails sent from outside of the email app will be sent from that email address. The default email account will be used if a new email is created in the All Inbox. If you reply to an email or initiate an email from within a given email account, I guess it assumed that you want it to go out as that email address.

Trying to set up a group email "RAM" that will contain multiple email addresses. Receive error messages "check SMTP settings" or "Invalid email address" when I try to send a message to the group.

I am trying to set up the group email "RAM" that will contain multiple email addresses. I have inputted the name "RAM" as a corporation. In the section labeled "Email" I have inputed multiple email addreses so that when I want to send an email to the group "RAM" I just have to input the name "RAM" in the section labeled "To" , input the Subject in the Subject box & the email will be sent to the multiple addresses, yet when I do I receive either one of two error messages being "Invalid Email Address" or "Check SMTP settings" each of which allows me the option of with cancelling the email or send it anyway.

Bump. I'd like to know, too. I even have some synched Groups from my Apple Address Book I email to using Apple Mail on the Powerbook, but I can't see how to do a group mailing on the Touch either.
In normal Mail, I just start typing the name of the group, and it autocompletes, I hit return, and it fills in all addresses in the Group.

Associate Multiple Names with Alias addresses

Hi all,
I've done a lot of searching here and on the web in general to try and figure out how to associate different names with aliases. Can't seem to find anything that works with leopard mail.
Basically, I want to be able to have, say, my main email account and one alias. The alias can be set up easily in the preferences area by adding the aliases after the initial email separated by commas. This doesn't seem possible with the "Full Name" section. The problem it creates is that the full name of the main account is always displayed with all aliases. I want a unique name for each alias.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks,
Remo

Do not use the Web pages for that request.
Instead, use the certificates MMC focused on the local computer. The dialog box allows you to input multiple names.
Brian
hi. as i mentioned my CA server is standalone. can we obtain certificate from standalone CA from MMC certificates snap-in?
according to technet:
request a certificate :
You can use this procedure to request certificates from an enterprise
CA only. To request certificates from a stand-alone CA, you need to request certificates by using Web pages. The Web page for a Windows-based CA is located at http://servername/certsrv,
where servername is
the name of the server hosting the CA.

Setting up one contact with multiple email addresses-i.e Family & Friends

Would like to setup one contact " Family & Friends " and show multiple email addresses - such as 20 or 30 addresses - can this be done >??

I the Ipad contact app does not handle groups. However, there are apps such as Mail2Group. They have both free (lite) and more fully featured version.

Sending from multiple email addresses.

I have multiple gmail addresses:
sue.OBM AT gmail.com
sue.realestate AT gmail.com
sue.dogwalker AT gmail.com
(ps above emails are actually made up)
I'm using the Apple mail client that comes with my iMac and when I send an email it keeps using only one of the servers above.
Even when I change the "sent from" address to sue.OBM AT gmail.com it sends from sue.dogwalker AT gmail.com.
And of course the person receiving it sees its from a dog walker so they either trash it as junk because they don't recognize it or they find out their business manager is a dog walker. I don't want that.
When I open up the server list it just says Gmail: and lists all of the addresses I have, they are not listed individually like my icloud addresses are. So I can't pick a specific server to send from and it's always going from one I don't want. I want to be able to pick and choose which server to send from depending on whom I'm sending to.
Are there some Mac/Gmail experts out there? Is there some way for me to fix this? It's getting embarrassing! I did post to a Google forum and they said I need to set it up correctly in my mail client. But when I add a gmail address it doesn't specifically ask for a server. (and I don't exactly know what I'd put if it did)
Thanks a bunch, Happy Turkey Day!
Susan
PS I had to change the pretend email address above as Apple wouldn't allow me to put an email address in this post.

Could you confirm what you mean by true alias? I'm not familiar with that you mean. Currently (to recap) i have multiple accounts linked to my gmail account (all gmail accounts) and i have it set up so i can pick the email address i want to use to send an email online in gmail. After setting up IMAP (not POP) i put in "[email protected], [email protected]" in the account settings which gives me the drop down box and allows me to select which email address i want to sent messages from within mail.app. Now i've sent multiple messages to friends to test this, and here are my results. When responding to an email if i select either of the drop down options it will send from that selected address. When composing an e-mail, even if i pick the options, it will default to my first e-mail address.
It just won't let me pick the one i want to send from when i'm composing a new message, but it will let me choose when i reply to an email. sort of a strange occurrence. I know there is an option under "compose" in the preferences that let me choose the DEFAULT e-mail, but i'm assuming that just picks the first e-mail to show up in the drop down. I'm just not sure why it only works when replying, not replying AND composing.
