Postfix error in console, mail "sends" but doesn't actually send

Postfix was working fine but wasn't starting automatically on startup so in an effort to force postfix to start every time I edited the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist and added:
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
Now it starts when I boot the computer but when I send email in Mail (via localhost) it looks like it sends fine in Mail but the email isn't actually sent. When I check the console I see the following:
2/22/08 11:41:18 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master[141]) Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID 144 PPID 1 smtpd
Unfortunately my *NIX knowledge isn't what I'd like it to be so I'm not sure what to make of this. It is possible that (since I'm at work now) they are blocking the sending of email from non registered servers. Is there any way I can tell if this is happening or not?
My main issue is having postfix start automatically on boot so if there is a better way to do that in Leopard I'd be happy to just do it another way. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Sorry, didn't realize this was the server forum (came from Google) but I'm on the client. I checked the log and it says port has been blocked, so I'm assuming it is just blocking it at work.
Thank you for your help with the location of the mail log, that will be very useful for figuring this out on my own next time.

  • Safari share via email doesn't actually send a email

    Since upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 (maybe even 6.0) I found out that the Share Link in Safari doesn't actually send the email with the link you are trying to share.  Can anyone else verify that their iOS 6.0.1 device does actually send the email with the link/web page they are trying to share?  I tested this with my own email address last night and realized nothing was actually being sent (or even waiting in the Outbox to be sent).
    If I shared the website via iMessage the iPhone does send the link via iMessage but not via if I try to share through email.

    This is a known bug, it should hopefully be fixed next week when they update the software used by this forum.

  • Mac mail receives but doesn't send

    Hello,
    During iPhone setup I asked that my mac mail accound info be copied over. When using the mail program I can receive emails, so I think my info came over, but I can not send. I read about the port issue with some isp so I tried over the EDGE network and it still doesn't work. This is the message I get:
    " sending the message content to the server failed "
    Any ideas?

    You are one up on me...you can receive. When I'm home, the internet and email gives me a message"Cannot get Mail, The connection to the server, "mail.earthlink.net" failed." I thought it was an issue with my earthlink account, but when I leave home the email and internet work. I have a wireless connection, the signal is full bars, I've had ATT for years and the phone works inside my house.
    What else should I be checking. Between this and the fact I can't import my memos from my Palm, I'm getting frustrated. It doesn't seem to replace my PDA, which was my primary purpose for getting it (beside the fact it's so cool)!

  • How can I email a photo from ipad2 via 3G?  It just shows turning gear and says sending, but doesn't go.  Also, am I not able to use face mail via 3G?

    Correct, as I earlier intimated.  It is to stop you from burning through your 3G data limit.
    It won't since it only works on Wifi.

  • Mail Doesn't Actually Send

    In my iCloud account, I'm finding that sometimes I send a message in Mail, it goes through the Outbox and seems to have sent.  But it's not in the Sent folder. Checked on iCloud.com and it isn't there either.  Very disturbing to not have confidence that your mail is being sent.

    If only.  That's the scary part—it leaves the Outbox but never actually sends. (Which makes me have to check each email as I send them.)

  • My Yahoo email quit. It sends but doesn't receive.?

    2 days ago my yahoo email was hacked. After the hacking my email worked. I have been changing settings on my computer and phone. Today no mail came in my inbox on Yahoo or gmail. I sent mail out, but none came in. Normally I get a lot of mail every day.

    Make sure your account settings are correct. It sounds like the receiving server or port is set wrong.

    No solution here, but another instance of the same problem...
    I just got a Brother HL2270DW, great little laser printer. Running Lion 10.7, but I can't seem to get the driver's installed. Any help is much appreciated...
    When I install the drivers that come on the CD, or downloaded from Brother, and then try to add the printer in System Settings, I get a popup that says "Software for this printer is available from Apple, would you like to download it ?".
    If I click "Cancel" then nothing gets installed. If I click "Download and Install", then after a lengthy download process, I get another popup that says "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software"
    Ok, now what ?
    Thanks...

  • Outlook 2013 / Exchange 2013 : Shared mailboxes - Mail stuck in outbox (non-cached), Mail sends but doesn't get received (cached).

    Hello,
    We are currently experiencing some weird behaviour in Outlook 2013 since we added Shared Mailboxes.
    When we run Outlook 2013 with cached mode
    enabled:
    - I create a new e-mail and send it.
    - The e-mail goes to the outbox, and get's 'send'.
    - None of the recipients receives the e-mail.
    When we run Outlook 2013 with cached mode
    disabled:
    - I create a new e-mail and send it.
    - The e-mail goes to the outbox, but remains there.
    Now to make things even more bizarre:
    When I switch from 'cached'-mode to 'non cached'-mode, I see all the e-mail that were 'send' in cached-mode stuck in the outbox.
    Note: The DNS server configuration in Exchange is correct.

    Hi,
    How about sending on OWA? Does the issue exist?
    To troubleshoot the issue, let's run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if 3rd-party add-ins are related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem sending emails in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    Please also disable the firewall and anti-virus program to send the emails again, in many scenarios the protection may cause the issue.
    Please also keep Exchange and Outlook patched to the latest.

    Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf in Terminal or a text editor (not Word).
    Change:
    smtpdclientrestrictions = permit_mynetworks bl.spamcop.net permit
    to:
    smtpdclientrestrictions = permit_mynetworks rejectrblclient bl.spamcop.net permit
    When done, issue:
    sudo postfix reload

    mailbfr is for fixing the Cyrus database or backing up mail services. It has nothing to do with Postfix/SMTP

  • Mail sended, but couldn't save sended box.

    First of all sended box is not full.
    When I try to send something , first, it sends mail. No problem.
    But It cant save it sended box. And error window pops up.
    Something like; "error was encountered while recording the outgoing message index. Try again ? "
    Thanks for your answers.

    Usually what I'd do at this point is to work back to a point where it does work and see if that helps you determine if there's a problem file. For example, delete all the mp3's then save. Quit, reopen iWeb, add one, then save. If that works, add another then save. If it fails on the first one, then it's more of a general problem that may be easier to resolve. If it fails on a specific one, then you can attempt to convert that file to see if that helps.

  • Mail opens but doesn't work

    Hi I open mail but i get the spinnig ball and mail doesn't work...
    What can I do??
    Thanx in advanced!!!
    CaBU

    CaBU,
    Has it ever worked? If so, when did this start?
    Hold the Shift key down, while you click on the Mail Icon to launch Mail. This will stop Mail from trying to open any certain mailbox, and if the last one you were viewing has a problem, may let us get to the point of a solution.
    More info, please, including whether you have a POP, IMAP or .mac account?

  • Weird behavior: Throws an error while debugging/Run mode, but doesn't when project is built

    Hi there,
    I am trying to see if I could get some help on a strange situation:
    I am developing a desktop application with few window components (like music window, rss feeds, photos window, etc). I am trying to have a checkbox in the "preferences" component which will disable or enable the appropriate window component.
    When I am trying to test this checkbox in my application (in either debug mode or 'run' mode) an error is being thrown which I am not able to figure out why this error occurs (though I know its complaining about Null object reference). But when I am building the application with "Export Release Build" option and installing the application on my desktop to test the same checkbox - it works!! I am not sure why this is happening. Any help?
    Can you tell me why it's not complaining about Null object when I build the project or how to overcome this problem?
    This is the error:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at Components::ComponentContainer/getComponentData()[/Users/Desktop/projects/DesktopLauncher /src/MyComponents/ComponentContainer.as:48]

    Thanks in advance.

    Can you post the code at ComponentContainer.as line 48?
    Also, make sure the debug SWF is up to date; delete it in bin-debug, make a change to ensure the new one has come up.

  • Mail Opens, But Doesn't Go Any Further

    I open the Mail application. It opens, but right when it does, it keeps crashing and it always says that the "Application failed." So, I can't see any of my mail unless I use .Mac Mail online, which I don't want to do.
    Can someone please help me?

    Does Mail crash immediately upon start up or when it starts to download messages?
    If the former, the cause could be a troublesome message that Mail tries to load every time you open it. Try launching Mail holding the Shift key down until the main window appears. This should prevent Mail from trying to select any mailboxes or load any messages upon start up.
    If Mail crashes when it starts to download new mail, try the following to check whether the junk filter could have a bearing on it and post back with your observations:
    1. Either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down your Internet connection and open Mail afterwards.
    2. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
    3. Go online again.
