OS X Server and Email

Setting up a Mac Mini OS X Server on the home network. There are just two of us, and we're both happily set with Apple's ME.COM email service on six devices - 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, 2 Mac desk tops. What advantage is there in using the Mac Mini Server email?

I still have my iCloud subscription, although I do run 4 servers in a data center.
Running your own mail server means you must keep the server running 24-7, this is something you may or may not like.
Then there is the issue of the stable connection, reverse DNS (which is not normally available to be set for home users) and your provider may block port 25 TCP, which you need to communicate to other mail servers on the net.
The latter can be overcome by using your ISP's mail relay or letting a service (like DynDNS or DNSMadeEasy) send mail over an alternative port and converting that port back using an Airport Extreme.
If you want more info about any of these, I'll glad to help.

Calendar Server and Email Server on Same Machine - Email Issue

Hi.
I've installed email and calendar on the same host. The email domain for test purposes is the name of the machine. I noticed in the configuration guide, it says that if you put the calendar server and email server on the same machine you need to configure sendmail.cf and modify incoming rules in order to get email reminders from Calendar to Email. I have done this but am still not able to. I get the emails kicked back to root and they say:
553 5.3.5 System Config Errors
553 5.3.5 <machine name> config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
Has someone seen this before?
Thank You,
Matt

Hi Russ,
We have the same problem as Matt.
We have properly set up OCS Email it works well both inside and outside our network.
The only thing that appears not to be working is the email notification capabilities of OCS Calendar.
We have changed sendmail.cf as stated in the documentantion.
we are using -
RedHat Advanced Server 2.1,
sendmail 8.11.6
bind 9.1.3
I would be very gratefull of any information on this, as we're out of ideas...

Web Server and Email Server

Suppose my web site www.MySite.com is hosted in a Web Server (IP: 123.45.6.7). My email account is: [email protected], which is hosted by an Email Sever (IP:10.12.14.6). Obviously they are two separate machines.
How can my email has the same DOMAIN (name) MySite.com as my web site has?
Thanks to help.

Hi,
I need to write an ABAP code to pickup a file in application server and Email the same file to the intended receipients--
Can i get the code pls?

Hi Simran,
Please search the forum. There are many sample codes available for reading data in application server and mail sending.

Iphoto and email

iphoto11 is not sharing photos by email. Triangle error symbol appearing. Email is hotmail account. Have recently upgraded software Java? Don't know if this makes a difference.

I can't believe it!!!! . I have solved the problem myself. On the strength of the 2nd email account working I added my original one again and it worked. The only difference I can see was in description Hotmail as apposed to hotmail.co.uk.
So anyone with the same problem of iphoto not emailing photos try:
Drop down menu from iphoto.
Click preferences.
Go to accounts .
Click + symbol at bottom and add server and email address as instructed.
Test if it works, if it does,
Delete old email address which didn't work.
Yippee!!!!

Function module to fetch pdf file from App. Server and print/email?

Hi all,
Is there any function module to fetch a PDF file from APPLICATION SERVER and print the PDF file or send it as an attachment in an email?
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
Sandeep.

Hi Sandeep,
Is there any function module to fetch a PDF file from APPLICATION SERVER
1) As far as i know there are no FMs to read a file from App server, you can do the same using *OPEN/READ/CLOSE dataset ABAP statements - There are tons of examples for this on the net.
and print the PDF file or send it as an attachment in an email?
You can send the file read from the app server(by the suggested method above) and use CL_BCS to send it as an attachment.
Again there are many examples on the net on how to use CL_BCS for the same.

Chen

Querying Exchange 2013 Mail server for email items using c# and Exchange Web Services

I am trying to upgrade an existing application that reads Exchange 2003 using WebDAV. The mail server is to be upgraded to Exchange 2013, so I am checking how I can use EWS.
I have a problem in that although I know the inbox has unread items with attachments, the query I am running against the
FindItems object is returning empty (results.totalCount=0)
Here is my code snippet:
private static void GetAttachments(ExchangeService service)
// Return a single item.
ItemView view = new ItemView(100);
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = CertificateValidationCallBack;
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2);// .Exchange2007_SP1);
service.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]", RedirectionUrlValidationCallback);
ItemView view = new ItemView(1);
string querystring = "HasAttachments:true Subject:'ATTACHMENT TEST' Kind:email";
// Find the first email message in the Inbox that has attachments.
// This results in a FindItem operation call to EWS.
FindItemsResults<Item> results = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, querystring, view);
//FindItemsResults<Item> results = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(50));
if (results.TotalCount > 0)
// looping through all the emails
for (Int16 iDx = 0; iDx < results.TotalCount-1; iDx++)
EmailMessage email = results.Items[iDx] as EmailMessage;
if (email.IsRead == false) {
// Request all the attachments on the email message. This results in a GetItem operation call to EWS.
email.Load(new PropertySet(EmailMessageSchema.Attachments));
foreach (Attachment attachment in email.Attachments)
if (attachment is FileAttachment)
FileAttachment fileAttachment = attachment as FileAttachment;
What I am supposed to be doing is reading all the unread emails in the target inbox (only one Exchange server) and taking the attachments on disk so I can then add them as attachments as new cases on SalesForce.
Where am I going wrong?
Also, this line:
ItemView view = new ItemView(100);
was:
ItemView view = new ItemView(1);
Surely that will only look for one email item, right?

thanks, do you know why I would be getting an error message like 'The specified object was not found in the store'
here is my code:
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = CertificateValidationCallBack;
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2);// .Exchange2007_SP1);
service.Url = new Uri("https://sgexc.bocuk.local/EWS/Exchange.asmx");
//creates an object that will represent the desired mailbox
Mailbox mb = new Mailbox(@"[email protected]");
//creates a folder object that will point to inbox folder
FolderId fid = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, mb);
//this will bind the mailbox you're looking for using your service instance
Folder inbox = Folder.Bind(service, fid);
FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.FindItems(new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new Mailbox("[email protected]")),new ItemView(10));
it's happening on this line:
Folder inbox = Folder.Bind(service, fid);
and if I try to use AutoDiscoverURL then I just see my own inbox.

I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

You will need to get the required info to create/access the account with an email client from your school.
Are you currently accessing the account with an email client on your computer - if you have a Mac with the Mail.app, or if you have a PC with Outlook Express, etc.? If so, you can get the required account settings there.

HT201320 What am i supposed to put as the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server when setting up my email?

I'm tryingt to set up my email through my school account and i'm not sure what it means when i'm asked to enter a incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server. Help would be appreciated thanks

Since no one here has any idea about what type of mail your school offers...you don't mention what school...your question, as asked, can't be answered. What don't you contact your school's IT dept., or look online. Most schools have instructions on how to do so online.

Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service eating memory

Hi
I have Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essentials Role installed. I have integrated server with Azure AD, Office 365 and Intune using the Essentials Dashboard integration tools.
I can see that Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service are eating much of server memory. What are these services for and why they use a lot of memory? Specially I am wondering about the Email Service. What is
it for? Server dont handle email in any way so what is this service for? I tried to google it but found nothing.

Hi
I have 6GB of memory.
When I check from Resource Monitor, for Essentials Storage Service, Commit Set is 4G and Working Set is 1,8G.
Email Service Commit is about 1,8G and Working Set is just below 1G.
So these two services are reserving almost all the memory.
Memory is about 85-90% in use all the time, whether it be night or day.
Server have about 12 users and at the office there is about 2-6 person at the time. Link between server and office is 100M. There are no other services installed but the basic ones. We use server for AD (O365 integration) and file shares. Traffic in File
Shares are not big. They are more kind of an warehouse that in busy day-to-day use.
This server is about couple of months old and it has been like this since it was fired up.
I dont know what to look for from Event Logs and Process Monitor dont give me anything useful.

Host website and email on my Snow Leopard Server

Hi. I have a customer who currently has a hosting company for his emails and website. He recently bought a Mac Leopard Server which I set up on the network which now he wants to host his web site (be a web server) as well as his own Mail Server (with his email addresses hosted himself). The ISP provides him with a static IP address, he has a registered domain name with GoDaddy. How do I go about providing this service to him on the Mac Server and what do i fill in as the default DNS name on the Server? Additionally what ports do I open on the ISP firewall and how and where do I store the website files for hosting the the website? I prefer not to host DNS on this Server as it is a small network how can I configure the MX record for this site then? Thanks.

This is not a trivial task. Getting a Mac to act as a web server is trivial, provided you either can do with the default settings or are capable of managing an Apache web server. However, making that available on the web in general and making it the server responsible for maintaining the company web site is another thing entirely.
First, a static IP address is not the same thing as a connection appropriate for a web server. Unless your client has paid for an internet connection that will allow such use, his ISP may very well cut him off as soon as they discover he's using it to run a server. Paying for such a connection will be much more expensive than just paying for a static IP address. And unless he's really paying a lot, the site will be slower than most web sites.
Similarly, he's going to have to pay for someone to be on call 24-7 to fix server issues. He'll also need to have backup hardware in case of hardware failure. For example, if the hard drive in the server dies, he may not be able to afford a few days' downtime while a new hard drive is bought, the old one replaced and all the software and data reinstalled/restored on the new drive. If the site is at all important, I wouldn't consider anything less than a second server kept entirely synced with the primary one so they can be swapped out at a moment's notice.
Honestly, given all the extra costs of running your own server, it's actually cheaper to just pay for hosting on a decent service provider. (GoDaddy is not one I would consider decent, so if he's having issues, switching hosts is probably the better option.)
Now, if he just wants a small, in-house server that won't be seeing much traffic, that's definitely possible. But, as already pointed out, that would be better discussed on the server forums. Although some folks here will have experience setting up a web server on a standard copy of Mac OS X, many/most of them have no experience with Mac OS X Server.

TS3899 In trying to set up mobile email, I inadvertently entered wrong server and now in a loop verifying. How do I get out?

In trying to set up mobile email, I input wrong server and now it keeps trying to verify. How do I get out?

1. Close all open apps - double-click the Home button and swipe up on all of the thumbnails for all open apps
2. Reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your issues are resolved

HT4519 iPad says server rejected email receive not and placed in outbox How do I stop this

iPad says server rejected email recipient and placed mail i outbox how do I stop this

This is actually a reply to Apple support. Great job. A fundamental question which 277 people have looked at themselves, and 20 people have the same question, and no answer for a month. Does anyone really work there except for the Chinese manufacturers?
It's not like you don't get a premium for your product.
Someone get out of the employee lounge and answer this guys question. Too much of this on your forums.
