Procmail not delivering to Cyrus instead to /var/mail

Hey guys,
I really need some help on this one.
Basically I have a postmaster user setup, which uses a .procmailrc file to dish emails out to the correct people. It used to work fine on my old 10.4 client system. But now using 10.4 Server I have ran into a problem.
Procmail manages to resend the emails to the correct people but all other emails are then moved to /var/mail/postmaster instead of going to the Postmasters inbox. Cyrus does not seem to use /var/mail/.
How do I tell Procmail how to leave the remaining messages in the postmasters inbox and not deliver to /var/mail/postmaster?
I don't need this for all system wide users, just this one account.
Does it make a difference if I tick "Deliver to /var/mail when POP & IMAP are disabled"?
My .procmailrc file is below:
SHELL=/bin/sh
#DEFAULT=""
LOGFILE="procmail.log"
XSENT="NO"
* ^To:.*[email protected]
! [email protected]
* ^To:.*[email protected]
! [email protected]
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.
Regards,
Tommy in London.

Just an update...
I gave up with Procmail in the end.
After much reading I realised that the Sieve scripting is much more powerful and userfriendly (once you get it going). You can use Squirrelmail to add and edit rules, even vacation messages too!
I had a clean install of 10.4.7, using Open Directory authentication and had no hiccups.
Excellent directions at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=660096#660096
Hope this helps others - at least save a few hours!
Cheers,
Tommy.

Mail not delivered when sent with the Unix "mail" command

I am trying to send mail from the Unix command line with the "mail" command. Whenever I try to send an e-mail using a command of the form:
    mail -s 'This is the subject' <email address>
the mail message always ends up in subdirectories of the postfix "deferred" directory:
    /private/var/spool/postfix/deferred
It seems that the mail system runs for 60 seconds after an e-mail is sent and during that time I can run "mailq". If I do that I see something like the following:
-Queue ID- Size ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

    +<lots of lines snipped out>+
It seems to be complaining that the connection timed out to broadpark.no\[217.13.4.67\], which is the domain of my ISP.
My outgoing SMTP mail server is:
    mail.broadpark.no\[217.13.6.35\]
Could it be that mail system is trying to connect to the wrong SMTP mailserver? If so, how can I fix this?
I should mention that mail flows perfectly in and out of my machine via the Mail.app program. I am only having problem sending mail down at the Unix command line level.
I had this working on OS X 10.4.x, but this is the first time I have tried this with Leopard.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps I should have been a little bit clearer why I want to be able to send mail via my local mail/postfix system: I have several servers set up on my iMac, in particular:
    apache
    trac
I want these servers to be able to send mail to, e.g.,
    webmaster@localhost
    root@localhost
    trac@localhost
I have created aliases for these addresses in:
    /etc/postfix/aliases
(I have also executed "newaliases"). These aliases all point to my own user account on the same machine (my iMac).
Finally, I have a .forward file at the root level of my OS X account that forwards all local Unix mail to my normal e-mail account handled by my ISP.
This way, all local mail sent to "webmaster2, "root", "trac", etc., should be sent to my normal e-mail address that I monitor with Mail.app.
*This all worked perfectly with Mac OS X 10.4.x,* so I know it should be possible. However, I have only now just tried to set this up 10.5.x (Leopard) and, clearly, I am having problems.
Perhaps this motivation for wanting to send e-mail via the Unix mail system will help others understand my situation, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks very much in advance.

Procmail trouble migrating to Mavericks - everything delivered to /var/mail/ user

My old hardware died Thanksigving afternoon, so I hastily migrated to the new machine I'd already been setting up with Mavericks. One post-migration problem was that user mail was delivered into /var/mail/<username> instead of into Maildirs. mail.log said it was delivering to procmail, but that's not where mail showed up. Removing (renaming) each user's .forward and .procmailrc files fixed this at the cost of turning off procmail's automatic filing.
In the old setup, each user had a .forward file that said |/usr/bin/procmail, also a .procmailrc that started with
# This causes delivery in maildir format.
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
In each user's home directory, Maildir was a symlink to /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/<some long hashcode>. Back in 10.6, each user owned their mail directory and all its contents.
In Mavericks, the mail directories have moved to /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/<some long hashcode>. Those directories are completely owned by _dovecot. I repointed the symlinks, but wondered if the different ownership might be a problem.
One seeming bug I found was that line 45 of /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf says
mail_location = maildir:/Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/%u
Since %u is <username> and not <some long hashcode>, I think that should say
mail_location = maildir:/Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/users/%u
But changing it and restarting dovecot had no effect. Only disabling procmail made mail go where it should.
My bottom line question is, how can I get procmail working again?

Possibly I've answered my own question-and-a-half. My mail is being sieved. For the record:
Setting mail_debug=yes in /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf put some helpful notes into /Library/Logs/Mail/mail-debug.log. Searching for "sieve" in there revealed that dovecot was looking for per-user sieves as /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/<long-hash-code>/dovecot.sieve. That path was specified with %u in the dovecot config, so%u must really mean <long-hash-code>, not <username> as I thought. (That was the half-question.)
So apart from having to create those directories and populate them, sieve was already configured and running as a dovecot plugin.

Osx has messed up my phone it is iclould and I want apple..my emails was changedto iclound and i WANT Back my aol.my messages are now not delivered ND IN GREE INSTEAD OF BLUE WANT ALLPE NOT ICLOUD THAT IS JUST MY SECONARY ACCT

Let me take your side here. Call verizon billing and tell them you are cancelling the phone and service since you have not received it from Fedex. Verizon requires you to sign for their shipments from Fedex. The carrier then tries three delivery attempts and then sends the package back to verizon.
If you paid by credit card call up and dispute the charge, since your 14 days of previewing has not technically started as to return it within that time frame, just cancel the whole order. Make sure Verizon does not try to bill you .
Dispute, dispute and dispute.
You could have went into a verizon store and got your phone imediately instead of being shipped.
A lost or stolen phone not signed for by you or authorized person is verizons problem and not yours. You don't owe verizon for service not provided or the phone that was not delivered. Call your bank or credit card company and have them remove the charge.

Amavisd not running, mails not delivered when spam filter is enabled

Hey everyone,
So I've got a slight problem here with a 10.4.11 server. Our spam filter was set to be too tolerant of spam, allowing a threshold 22.0 before bouncing it, so through the command line I edited /etc/amavisd.conf to $sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.0; tag2 is set to 3.0. Then I bounced amavisd via:
sudo /bin/launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
sudo /bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
Well that caused all sorts of whacky issues with the queue. The server couldn't connect to itself and wouldn't deliver any mail, only queue it up. So I went back in to amavisd.conf and changed the parameters back to default, then bounced amavisd again. To no avail. Then I restored from a backup file I had created and bounced amavisd again to no avail.
Finally I removed the junkmail and virus filters via SA, saved, then reenabled them to no avail. Then I just disabled them and mail is flowing again, but I still have 187 messages in my queue that wont get delivered no matter how many times I flush it.
After more research, I issued a ps -U clamav to see if amavisd is running, below are the only results I get:
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
1291 ?? Ss 0:00.01 freshclam -d -D -pfreshclam.pid -c 1
I would assume it is NOT running...? I next issued amavisd to see if it throws any errors, and get the following:
ERROR: MISSING REQUIRED BASIC MODULES:
MIME::Parser
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/amavisd line 139.
So my next question is how do I repair amavisd so I can get it to run so I can reenable the content filter. Here are the results of postconf in case you need them:

To get the queue going, issue:
sudo postsuper -r ALL
That said, I would think you initially introduced a typo in amavisd.conf. Next you probably restored amavisd and amavisd.conf files which were incompatible with each other and/or amavis incompatible with the updated perl modules of the latest security update.
To fix things, I would re-apply the latest combo updater and security updates (assuming you are running stock versions and have not installed your own versions of amavisd, etc).
If things still do not work, please post the output of:
amavisd -V

Phone is NOT delivered; my bill made it. (Imagine going to a restaurant not eating and being given a bill.)

I know exactly how you feel. After getting fed up with ATT, I ordered a wireless phone and service from Verizon. I tracked the package and Fed-Ex claimed to have attempted to make delivery attempts 3 times, but that's impossible since I was home 2 of the three times and I never heard a knock or saw anyone from Fed-Ex. I contacted Verizon 3 times telling them about this and they also promised a follow up and I haven't heard from them either.
I'm now 2 weeks into the billing cycle. (Yeah, they are still charging me for service I'm not being provided!) I'm being e-mailed a notice that my statement will be available for viewing and still no phone.
Their phone response is terrible, they never call back and just forget about chatting with them on the web. Everytime it's clear they are in the wrong, their system or customer service rep *magically* "has issues connecting" and you are advised to "please, wait, while we transfer your conversation to another representative".
The wait time on that transfer, it seems, is LONGER than the original wait time, which is already an hour. I don't have an hour to stare at a chatbox waiting for some one.
It seems to me, that Verizon has become very self-important. Back when cable was the only game in town, the cable company always screwed with you when they had to send some one to fix something. It's nice to know that Verizon has decided that they would rather join the ranks of the companies known to not care about their customers concerns instead of showing that there is a better way. It's really crummy that Verizon has gone this route, but it is still nice to know how important my business and their reputation is to them.
As bad as their competitors were, they, at least, had the decency to deliver my phone and charge me after I was actually able to use it. So far, Verizon has proven to be worse. I truly hope I'm wrong and I'm just an isolated incident that will get it fixed. But, I'm wondering am I isolated? Has anyone else had problems with Verizon customer service? Or phone/equipment delivery? Or billing? I just want to know, now. what I've agreed to have 2 years of.
I'll post updates if this thread isn't deleted or my account isn't suspended for complaining.

Let me take your side here. Call verizon billing and tell them you are cancelling the phone and service since you have not received it from Fedex. Verizon requires you to sign for their shipments from Fedex. The carrier then tries three delivery attempts and then sends the package back to verizon.
If you paid by credit card call up and dispute the charge, since your 14 days of previewing has not technically started as to return it within that time frame, just cancel the whole order. Make sure Verizon does not try to bill you .
Dispute, dispute and dispute.
You could have went into a verizon store and got your phone imediately instead of being shipped.
A lost or stolen phone not signed for by you or authorized person is verizons problem and not yours. You don't owe verizon for service not provided or the phone that was not delivered. Call your bank or credit card company and have them remove the charge.

Mail Server Will Not Deliver Mail

I can connect with to the mail sever with a mail client, and see delivered mail up to this past Wednesday, but any new mail sent to any account on the server seems to get swallowed up. Except for a single spam mail with the title "JavaChief Info Request" which my mail client tags as junk.
At first it had what appeared to be a database corruption, and I could not see accounts in the admin, so I rebuilt it. Now I can see the existing accounts. If I make a new account with the Workgroup Manager and give it mail capabilities, that account does not show up in the Mail admin.
Because I only have 8 accounts, I'm read to just reformat the whole machine and start over. I don't want to do that because there's 6 months worth of data on the machine.
I keep this particular Mac in my office, basically for internet access and to run my Mail services. So there's some personal data and Applications on the machine that can mostly be recovered with TimeMachine. But that's a time consuming project I'd rather not take on.
BTW, the problems seemed to occur shortly after doing a system update last week to 10.5.4

PS: Could it be possible that my service provider is blocking incoming traffic? But then why would this one source be able to deliver mail messages?

IOS 7.0.4 I-Messages not delivered

Despite trying all sorts of resets, & shutdowns, I-Message continues to say "not delivered". The not delivered message comes up straight away.
What am I missing

Are you sending a message to another Apple iDevice (iPhone, iPad, etc)?
Plus, that person has to have iMessage set up.

Although i created the file no mails are received.Sendmail will create the mbox file if it needs to. I'm not sure if it will use one if you create it ahead of time. Check for a dead.letter file or the sender's account to see if it has bounced back.
On the box itself you could try:
/usr/lib/sendmail -v root
test
don't forget the period on a line by itself to send the message. This will run sendmail in verbose mode and will hopefully shed some light on what is going on.

Mail not delivered to outside recipients with same name on server - Bug?

Hi,
I'm testing the mail server before telling my boss it's OK to move from our old sun "appliance". I have set up all users names and passords on our new mac mini the same as they are on that old server.
The server will be thisdomain,com and the recipients will be thatdomain.com.
I am off site and testing from home using mail.thisdomain,com as my outgoing server. I have all spam controls off for testing. In this example I am scott @ thisdomain.com trying to send an email to carol @ thatdomain.com.
What's happening is that carol @ thatdomain.com is not getting the message. instead it is being dlivered to the carol on the server at carol @ thisdomain.com
Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it? The log even says "orig_to=<carol @ thatdomain.com>" Here is the complete session:

My iphone sends old messages, message not delivered

So the other day I began having troubles with my phone. It's only been with one person in my contacts at the moment, but it's happening frequently enough to be irritating and concerning. Especially with the amount of texts I'd normally be sending.
When I message this person, more often than not, a little red circle with an exclamation point pops up next to the sent message, and beneath it reads "not delivered".
According to the person I text, they still get a message, however the messages are always older messages. Sometimes duplicate, but not always, it seems. The most recent duplicate was originally sent around 8am, and resent instead of a message sent around 3:30. The original message did not have the undelivered problem.
I have the iphone 4, this person has a phone that is not an iphone.
Today I went into a Verizon store and asked for advice. He told me to turn off iMessage, and that that should fix it, however I then sent another text and it once again marked it as not delivered, and sent an old message instead.
Please, does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

That means whoever you're trying to send an iMessage to either has iMessage turned off or doesn't have a data connection. There's nothing you can do on your end. The message will be held on Apple's servers for 24hrs, then deleted.

Message not delivered

I have an Iphone 4 and sometimes when I send a text I get the message it was not delivered. When I press the ! it gives me a couple of options and one is to send as a text message. I select that and it sends the message. Anyone have that issue and know what causes it?

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.
