Osx server 3.1 not distributing group emails

I have noticed that my email server (version 3.1) stopped distributing group emails. It was happening with the previous version and I thought the update would have solved this small nagging problem.

Hi,
I finally got it to work.
In Server Manager, I switch off Mail
Switch off DNS
Switched off Open Directorz
cd /Library/Server/Mail/Config
mv MailServicesOther.plist MailServicesOther.plist.bk
Turned of mail and everything worked with 'enable virus filtering'

Mavericks mail server stops distributing group email after a few hours of usage

I've been having problems with our Mavericks mail server ever since our upgrade with group mail.
The server will distribute group email for a few hour, then it simply stops working.
No error message, no bounces, and the server keeps the incoming mail in its incoming queue.
Restarting the mail services by either server.app or serveradmin mail stop; serveradmin mail start command like are the only way I can get it to continue to distribute the email. I suspect it has to do with postfix itself hiccuping? But this is a reproducable problem.
Mail filtering is on, score set to 6, 10 mb limit, spamhaus is active.
Looking for tips on how to stablize this service short of setting up cron job to restart the services every few hours.

I know this is not the fix you are looking for, but it's what I had to do, so I thought I'd share.
Hopefully, someone will be able to figure it out the "right" way!
I created this AppleScript that will stop and start the mail service every hour.
You can copy and paste it into AppleScript Editor, compile it and save it as an application. You can then run it. You need to run it from an administrator account and keep that user logged in.
If once an hour (every 3600 seconds) is too often, just change 3600 to however many seconds you want.
Be sure to change AdminPassword with the Admin user's actual password.
repeat
          do shell script "/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin stop mail" password "AdminPassword" with administrator privileges
delay 60
          do shell script "/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin start mail" password "AdminPassword" with administrator privileges
          delay 3600
end repeat

Mac OSX Server 10.5 not allowing wikis to work.

Hey everyone.
Currently, where I work, we have two servers.
One running OSX Server 10.4 (cause of all the problems associated with 10.5!) and another running 10.5. The one running 10.4 does all our DNS, DHCP, logins etc.
The 10.5 server is only running Web, SMB, XGrid and Open Directory. Its primary use is to host our intranet, cause we want wikis and blogs to work. The 10.5 Server we have is running Open Directory (connected to a directory system, since 10.4 cant replica to 10.5 and visa versa) so we can just have the login data.
The problem we are having is: When we go into Workgroup Manager, select a group, the options to enable the following services for this group on...has nothing in the list.
We have been to Server Admin, gone to Web, gone to sites, turned all the services on...made our site done all that. Its just the option in Workgroup Manager that isn't working. Can anyone shed some light to why this wouldn't be working?

You need to make sure that the group you are enabling the services for is in the LDAP path for the 10.5 server, and not in the local directory or the LDAP for the 10.4 server.

Mail Program not sending group email

I set up a message group months ago with 33 addresses. Worked fine. Suddenly a few weeks ago, all members of the group reported not getting the messages, but I was not getting any bounce-backs. I checked with GoDaddy where I have an Exchange service. They tested and found that the messages I was sending were being received by their server, not blocked. Yet this group is still not receiving my messages! Simultaneously, I have another message group set up with about 30 addresses. It works fine! I am mystified. Any ideas?

OSX Server and Windows Mobile 5 push email service?

Pretty simple question...Can OSX Tiger Server "push" email to Windows Mobile 5 devices natively, or is there a 3rd party option available to do so? Microsoft Exchange 2003 is capable of doing this, however I would like to go all OSX at this point.
Thanks

I have been researching this topic for a while now as well and haven't found a satisfying solution. Of course, you could set your phones to establish a connection every say 10 minutes to query if new email has arrived. There are also a number of hints, how to set up a second email address for forwarding messages to e.g. Blackberrys. Another issue, for which I haven't found a solution is how to sync your phone's email with your desktop machine, except for wireless.
Any progress you hear, please let me know.

How not to group emails by subjects on blackberry on Q10

Hi,
Why do emails of the same subject show as different emails from each person who replies?
In the old BlackBerry I was using I used to get all emails in 1 thread now I have different emails.
I use Google corporate account for my company
Pls help someone
Thanks

Hey hermitsethi
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Setting your Z10 to display email threads in conversation view instead of appearing as single messages is a great way to manage your messages. To turn on conversation view, complete the following steps:
1. In the BlackBerry Hub, tap the action key (3 dots button located in the button right corner)
2. Tap Settings followed by Display and Actions
3. Set Display Style to Conversation from Single Messages
4.Tap Back to save your changes
I look forward to your reply!

I am trying to reinstall osx but I do not know my email address I installed it with from the start so I can't reinstall it . Please anyone help me ?

??

What Mac Model (year, type)?
What version of OS X are you installing?
What, exactly, do you do when you try to install the OS?
What, exactly, happens?
If you are upgrading an existing OS installation to Mavericks, then no email addresses should be required.
If you are installing Mavericks clean on a blank hard drive, no email address is required.
You may need to enter the email address that you used as your Apple ID to download Mavericks from the Mac App Store, and you may need it to log into your iCloud account and other Apple services when setting up a brand new Mac.
You really don't know what email address you might have used? You've tried every email address you've had in the last couple of years...?

XCode server bot is not sending email - how to trouble shoot?

We have other bot's running on different servers and we get the email notifications as anyone would expect.
However, on this one MacMini xCode server we are not getting any email notifications. I've done some basic searches in the logs, but I really am stuck in just trying to figure out how to even trouble shoot it.
Suggestions?

How to enable group email accounts

Hi all,
I have spent a while fiddling with (and breaking) my OSX Lion 10.7.4 Server install trying to get group emails working. I would just like to share how I did it.
Follow the below how to.
#!/bin/bash
# Group EMail Enabler v0.2
# Jeff Johnson <[email protected]>
# Tested with OS X Server 10.6 and 10.7
# Should also work with 10.5
# This script allows you to manage email groups using Work Group Manager.
# If you create an executive group in WGM, you then have a executive@ email address
# This is automatically maintained as you adjust the members
# The script searches your LDAP groups for the word 'mail' in the comment field
# You must add mail to the comment field for any group which should have an email address.
# The email address for that group will be the shortname of that group.
# If you miss this step (add 'mail' to the comment field), this script does nothing.
# Known issues
# 1. Only supports groups in LDAP, users can be in LDAP or Local
# 2. Does not support other groups within your email group (no nested groups)
# 3. Almost no error checking, so best to run it manually a few times to check results.
# Installation Instructions
# 1. Save this file as
#       /usr/sbin/group_email.sh
# 2. Then adjust permissions
#       sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/group_email.sh
# 3. Modifiy alias_maps in /etc/postfix/main.cf
#    You need to add this line to what you already have
#        hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases
#     Example, you have:
#        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
#     Change to:
#        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases
# 4. To run automatically every 5 minutes, I prefer a simple addition to /etc/crontab
#      you may need to create /etc/crontab if it doesn't exist
#      Add the following to /etc/crontab
#            */5 * * * * root /usr/sbin/group_email.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1
# If you followed these instructions, within 5 minutes you will see an alias file at
# /etc/postfix/groupaliases
# you can inspect the file to confirm the results.
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
The only additional thing I had to do with Lion Server 10.7.4 was add hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases to the alias_maps AND alias_database in /etc/postfix/main.cf then run "newaliases" and "postfix reload"
Hopefully this helps the next person to get it all running quicker than I did
Cheers
Ryan

Hi Ryan, yeah 10.7.4 Lion Server - mail is swtiched on although we haven'y migrated to it yet (i do have the accounts setup though)

I've gone through it a few times and can't see any differences to the one you posted so am at a loss as to why its not working..
Thanks

Help with OSX server mail setup

Please if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful. I have a company with an externaly hosted website and an an internally hosted email (OSX server). I have everything kind of working, but some things don't seem quite right. I'll explain below:
I have a purchased domain: mycompany.com hosted by godaddy.
I am using Godaddy name servers: ns65.domaincontrol.com and ns66.domaincontrol.com
The external godaddy DNS has an a name entry for my mail server: mail pointing to 123.123.123.123 (which is my companies external static IP address).
There is also a null (@) a name record for my website hosting service (squarespace) pointing to 456.456.456.456
There is a cName record www pointing to the squarespace domain "www.squarespace6.com" (know this is unusual, but it is how squarespace asks this to be set up and does not work otherwise)
There is an MX record with priority 10 and host name @ pointing to mail.mycompany.com
I have a airport extreme router with the appropriate ports forwarded to the OSX server.
The DNS servers on the router are pointed to the internal IP address of the OSX server
I did not change the domain name on the router (mistake?) it is currently san.rr.com
On the OSX server I have set up host name to be mycompany.comDNS is set up with primary zone being mycompany.com
Primary Zone entries include
nameserver = mycompany.com
machine record host name is mycompany.com and the IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server
another machine record with host name "mail" and IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server.
Finally, there is a mail exchanger record with mail server "mail.mycompany.com" and priority 10
There are 2 entries autocreated in the Reverse zone
Mail is setup and running on the OSX server providing mail for "mail.mycompany.com"
Users are setup with email address: [email protected] (note: without the mail subdomain - I think this is OK?)
I am using self signed certificate.
In my clients (windows Thunderbird, Mac Mail, iOS mail), the settings are for the incoming mail server host name to be "mail.mycompany.com" and the outgoing also to be "mail.mycompany.com"
I woud have expected this to be imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com respectively, but it doesn't work when I input these values and works with the former. Have I set this up wrong?? imap seems to require SSL on port 993 and SMTP seems to require TLS on port 587.Outlook on PC gives me an error that after googling appears to be a problem with not recognizing a fuly qualified hostname form the SMTP client. I see the fix, but wanted to know if that meant that my server didn't have a fully qualified host name and whether I should change that rather than just remove that restriction???
The final problem is that my outgoing emails seem to be getting caught up in other people's spam filters too frequently. What is the main reason for this? Is it because I have set something up wrong and it brings up flags or is it simply because I am not a huge hosting company, or somethign else althogether?
If you've gotten this far, big thanks! If you can help me, even more thanks!

Well, actually they are both getting caught up in spam filters and bounced back. I actually realized that part of the problem is that I have a dynamic IP address, but it doesn't change. Regardless, on the bounce back it looks like hotmail and other domains are rejecting email from my IP and recognize it as dynamic. This was a test server that i would by physically taking to my business where there is a static business IP address (Cox).
Sorry for the very long original message, but it seems that most people don't post enough information for the problem to be solved in their original posts and I was hoping to provide as much detail as possible.
The other is the question of "are things set up right?" It seems strange to me that both my outgoing and incoming servers are "mail.mycompany.com" and not imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com and I wonder if this is going to cause me to have problems?
Is it a problem that my email addresses are [email protected] and not [email protected]?
Was I supposed to change the domain name on the router?
Also is it going to be a problem that I am using a self signed certificate?

How do i create a group email?

How can I create a group email?

The native mail app in iOS does not support group emailing directly. You have a couple of options:
Search the app store for an app that does. there are a few.
Create a contact with multiple email addresses in the same email field (separate with semicolons). There is a limit on the number of characters the field will contain, and how many addresses this will work on don't recall exactly what that limit is, however). #1 is probably your best bet.

ARD Reporting failing and causing thousands of entries in my system.log for my OSX Server clients

I have a small four system network - all running latest version of Mavericks with latest (3.7.1 ARD)
1) OSX Server running File Sharing, DNS, OpenDirectory, Web
2) OSX Server running DNS (secondary), OpenDirectory (secondary)
3) OSX Server - installed but not running any services
4) OSX Client
When using ARD from any of the systems, any attempt to generage an ARD report targeting system #1 or #2 - the ARD report task stops at "Collecting Report Data" and I start seeing: sysinfocachegen[10506]: FSPathMakeRef error = -43 in the system.log that I'm targeting. Currently over 11000 entries in my last log file (rolled over) and am over 8000 already in the log file after my last test.
If I target systems 3 or 4, reporting works fine.
Any ideas what is going on here?

I'm getting this error too.
20/5/2014 4:07:56.192 pm sysinfocachegen[27828]: FSPathMakeRef error = -43
20/5/2014 4:07:56.192 pm sysinfocachegen[44825]: FSPathMakeRef error = -43
20/5/2014 4:07:56.192 pm sysinfocachegen[63375]: FSPathMakeRef error = -43
etc
My OS is 10.9.3, ARD is 3.7.2 (372A19)
I'm not trying to collect any report data as far as I know.
I have a few ARD windows open.
James.

Will Aperture run under OSX Server?

Greetings,
I am somewhat hardware constrained at the moment, and the best platform I have for running Aperture is currently running OS X Server (10.4). It is very lightly loaded, but it would be very disruptive to change it over to client. Does anyone know if Apeture will run on Server?
Thank's.

Yup - I know that servers shouldn't be run as workstations. However, hardware constraints mean that a light-duty server might need to be pressed to run Aperture for a while.
Also - I know it shouldn't matter (as OSX and OSX Server are really not different OS's, but that OSX Server is just a superset of OSX), however that doesn't mean that Apeture doesn't check when it starts, etc.
