OS X Server take the place of QuickMail and web host email?

Hi All,
I have been doing quite a bit of searching in the forums and with google.
Here is what our situation currently is:
Cable modem with dynamic IP address. Web hosting account with JaguarPC.com for our Internet email. Clients are all running with Leopard Mail app on either iMacs or MacBooks. We are using Mail app for the Internet messages (sending and receiving). That part works fine.
G5 tower running OS X Server 10.3 for all of our file serving needs.
We are using the latest/last version of QuickMail (not very recent!) for all LAN/Intranet messaging. QuickMail used to run fine in the OS 8 & 9 days, but each update of OS X causes it to be more unstable and unreliable.
What our goal is would be this:
Same Internet connection (cable modem + dynamic IP). Same web host. BUT, we would like to have our OS X Server (10.3) take the place of QuickMail AND use the Mail app for both the Internet messaging and all of the LAN/Intranet messaging.
Is this possible? If so, if you would be so kind, could you throw some hints, tips and or links our way to help set this up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Troy

Out of the box, no, you can't do this.
The internal mail is easy - you can do whatever you like on your own network. The issue is in running external mail.
There are all kinds of issues in running external mail on a dynamic IP address, mostly as a result of spam (many ISPs, including all the big guys will not accept mail from dynamic IP addresses because it's likely spam).
That's not to say you can't run a mail server per se, but if half your mail doesn't get to the recipient (and you can't predict which ones will), it's hardly viable.
You do have options, though. First you could configure your mail server to relay all outgoing mail through your ISP. Since you're on their network they are obliged to accept mail from you and they'll forward it to the appropriate domain via one of their mail servers. That takes care of outgoing mail.
Incoming mail is a whole different issue. On a dynamic IP address there's no way to tell other domains where your mail server is. The typical solution for this is to have some other mail server (on a static address) accept your mail and hold it for your mail server that periodically checks in and retrieves the mail via ETRN.
Ironically, QuickMail does this very well (it really was one of its strengths). Postfix (the mail server included in Mac OS X Server) can do this, but it's not supported via Server Admin (the GUI used to configure the server), so you'll have to get under the hood and configure it - as well as find an upstream mail server that supports ETRN.
For postfix, check the Postfix ETRN guide. For the mail server, ask your ISP if they support ETRN (you'll likely need to get to at least second-level support since the first-level folks probably can't even spell it ).

Lightroom take the place of Bridge?

I am moving over from Photoshop Elements 5 to CS2.
Question, does Lightroom take the place of Bridge.
Thanks you;

LR has a completely different approach to workflow than Bridge/ACR - that's the first thing you have to realize. Prior to LR (and using Aperture for a short time), I had developed a workflow using Bridge/ACR and iViewMedia Pro (for the DAM), but that workflow was twisted a bit from what I would have wanted, because it had to fit B/A/iV. And it wasn't what I would call "streamlined!"
Now, LR has a better workflow for me than B/A/iV. Oh, it has a few (some will say "a lot") shortcomings, but I am confident that they will be ironed out. I did have to alter my old workflow to fit LR (e.g. file and folder naming conventions during import) but that was just a matter of changing what I was used to; it wasn't a step down.
I have CS2 but that isn't part of the regular workflow. I only jump to it when an image needs some major correcting. So when you say you are moving to CS2, I think what you should really do is test out LR's demo, and don't just give up because it doesn't work like PSE5. Like I said earlier, LR is very different.
And in my opinion, for photography, yes - LR takes the place of Bridge. However you have to realize that Bridge is more "generic" in the sense that other users, graphic artists for example, also use Bridge, but in a different way. And, I believe, those working with web pages can also use Bridge for their organization. But for photography, I think LR trumps Bridge.

HT4623 Is there something to install to take the place of 'flash' on an iPad?

Is there something I can use or install on. My ipad to take the place of Flash that I need to watch videos?

You can use browsers that support flash. Puffin, Skyfire, iSwiffer are ones I'll see recommended.
or see if your video source has an app.

Is there an FF4 addon that takes the place of Update Notifier 0.1.5.5 in FF 3.6.17

The question " Is there an FF4 addon that takes the place of Update Notifier 0.1.5.5 in FF 3.6.17 " really says it all.
I'm wondering whether with FF4 there even is a need for such an extension? In Options>Advanced> Update I have all 3 boxes checked to automatically check for updates to FF, Addons, and Search Engines, but does that mean I'll be automatically notified?
I also have " automatically download and install the updates" checked, but that appears to be only for the main program?
Would someone please enlighten me --with FF4 will updates for extensions now be automatically installed, or will I be notified about updates even without something like the old Update Notifier 0.1.5.5, or is there some FF4 compatible update notifier addon?
Thanks again for the time and help! -- the answers to my other questions really were immensely helpful and solved my problems completely.

I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another. Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync. Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes. When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it. Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone. After selecting your apps then you can sync. Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

I'm not sure that this is something that iPhoto does. However, neither is it something I quite understand. What do you mean by "pic pose"?

I have an older video ipod that I would like to take the songs off of and put on my new iphone. Is there a way to do this?

I have an older video ipod that I would like to take the songs off of and put on my new iphone. I haven't used the ipod in a few years. Is there a way to do this?

Yes. See this article from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content from your iPod over to your computer and into iTunes. Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and sync the content over to your iPhone.

How do I chance the place of JLabel and JButton in JPanel.

I'm using DefaultLayout and I want to give the user the ability to change the place of JLabel and JButton. I managed the DnD part, but when "dropped" the control returns to it's original position.
I tried using setX() and setY().

You need to use a null Layout, also known as [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html]Absolute Positioning

You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

Can I get the Requisition Submitted Date and Time in Emails

Can I get the Requisition Submitted Date and Time in Emails
Hi,
Is there a way to get Requisition submitted Date and Time in Service Initiation Emails.

Unfotunately, there is not a namespace that will return Submitted Date for a requisition or service. You can, however, get the start date:
#Requisition.StartedDate# or #Service.Requisition.StartedDate#

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the reply - I think I've sorted it though and there isn't actually an issue.
The whole group wasn't receiving the NDR, only the group manager which I setup a few weeks prior. This is a new feature so it complies with certain RFC's, basically the group manager will recieive the NDR to let them know there is a problem.
Something to do with mass mailing and unsolicited mail.
