Sending mail via forms no longer working

Recently, on one of our servers (XServe G4 - 10.3.9) was running both web and mail. Mail was moved off of the server 2 days ago onto a newer server (10.4.7)
The web server has: php4.3.11 and is ONLY running AFP/OD/Web
Since the transfer of the mail server to the new machine, all web sites can no longer send mail via their scripts (either by sendmail, php's mail(), or by connecting to SMTP server via php).
The web logs do not show errors when it attempts to send the mail...
A look at mail.log shows
"relay=cyrus, delay=2558, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Connection refused_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_)
As far as I'm aware, the web server/sendmail shouldn't be attempting to use cyrus at all. For the record, Cyrus master is not running.
All users can access the mail server without any difficulty. DNS entries have been checked and double checked.
Does anyone know why sendmail and php mail functions stopped working? I really need to get these web forms functioning again. Is the problem with apache, php, sendmail or something else?

Hi Camelot,
Thanks for the quick reply and useful suggestion. I did as you mentioned and fired up the mail server.
The mail "delivered" however, I notice a couple issues in the logs (mail.log)
issue #1: I have to start cyrus master manually via > sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/master SA and command line start/stop of mail does not start master. Also, when starting master from command line as mentioned, terminal hangs.
issue #2 (from mail.log) - still getting the same lmtpd error (but messages do finally get delivered):
Jan 14 03:58:24 www postfix/pipe[2914]: 3503858502D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=cyrus, delay=5327, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Connection refused_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmptd_ )
Jan 14 03:59:39 www postfix/cleanup[2906]: B60AE58572B: to=<[email protected]>, relay 123.123.123.123[123.123.123.123], delay=0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 9FBF41BCBCA)
Do you think these are "issues" to contend with or are they "normal" occurances?

Cannot send mail via wi-fi at work

mail works perfectly at home (d-link wifi time-warner cable modem). at work, receives normally but will not allow me to send. administrator says it's my macbook pro to blame- nothing from their end to stop mail from sending. any ideas?

Actually, a lot of ISPs have for years and years only allowed use of their SMTP servers for mail originating from their own IP address pool. It really has nothing to do with spam - ISPs only want to pay for processing SMTP services from their own paying customers. So IPs outside of the ISPs domain(s) are automatically blocked. As I say, this has been common among many ISPs for a very long time.
Does the ISP use authenticated SMTP? If so, make sure you have your mail app set to use your userid and password when sending mail. Again, many ISPs will allow authenticated SMTP requests from any IP address (while when you are at home, it may not be necessary, as your IP address allows for unauthenticated SMTP access).
Alternatively, as suggested, just setup and use your employer's SMTP server when at work.

Mail via Forms Web

Currently I'm using ole2 package to send mail in Forms Client/Server.
Is there any way to send mail via forms Web?
Any good documentation available?
I'm using Forms 6i on 9i AS rel1
Thanks.

You can use the database to send emails with UTL_SMTP see:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/Utl_Smtp_Sample.html
Or you can use Java on the server side (java importer) to do it, see the sample that comes with the Oracle9i Forms demos of the Java mail demo.

Add sender to address book no longer working

"Add sender to address book" no longer works. It flashes the menu bar as if it is working, however, when I go to the Address book, the new person is not there. This has been going on for a number of weeks.
Any ideas?

Keith,
Since you have confirmed that the maintenance scripts have been used, then you may benefit from the troubleshooting procedures listed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
I would also suspect .plist corruption with com.apple.mail.plist and/or com.apple.AddressBook.plist.

Cant Send Mail via DSL

Im Apple Mail using iMac G4 and G4 tower. Both will recieve an send mail find via dial-up but will not send mail via dsl connection.
We get our mail via ethernet > router > antenna > atenna > another router > antenna > ten miles away at another antenna then to dsl source.
So our dsl connection/signal is going threw three other antennas and at least one router here in office before we get it.
My ISP provider says we need to talk to our DSl provider.
Any ideas? Our computer tech is out of office touch for a week.
Ran

Thanks but this doesn't answer my question.
Allan, I am 99% percent sure that my ISP is not the same ones who supply our ethernet/broadband/DSL.
Is your internet service provider (ISP) for your
dial-up connection different from the ISP for the DSL
connection?
Yes, I believe that they are differrent, however, I have new info.
At first my G4 tower with Earthlink account would not send out over etherner/broadband/DSl, but now it does! I, nor anyone else, has made any changes to the outgoing address that works for dial-up connection and is what we have always used until yesterday when we first tried the dsl/braoband
Kind of a different situation and not typical or the
norm to have a company that provides a DSL connection
not be the internet service provider for the
connection.
Someone new came into our building for office space. He had the router, ethernet cables and antenna installed. He/we get electro-magnetic radiational signal from a larger business across the street who has a tower --soon to be a taller tower-- and they get there radiational signal from 10 miles away.
Knowing who your ISP is for connecting to the
internet regardless if using a dial-up connection or
a DSL connection (DSL is considered a broadband) is
important and if the email account and SMTP server
being used is provided by the ISP being used for your
internet connection or by a different email account
provider not associated with the ISP used for
connecting to the internet.
Yes, I understand that is the case. Maybe I'm wrong and by some coincidence the DSL provider is Earthlink and that is why the G$ tower account began working for the outoging mail.
Im still having the sam problem on the G4 iMac which is a local.com account they have told us the same as you have, that we need to know who the DSL provider is and what info they require in the outgoing( smtp ) line.
You mentioned Earthlink which is an internet service
provider that offers dial-up access and/or DSL access
so does the Earthlink protocol you mentioned mean you
are having problems sending with an Earthlink email
account and SMTP server?
Earthlink account is working now so again perhaps the DSL provider is coming through Earthlink and ergo we didnt need to make changes to the outgoing( smtp ) info line.
Thats the only way that one can be explained.
I take it you use the dial-up connection at home
(which is provided by Earthlink?) and the DSL
connection is used at the office?
Thats correct. The inital DSl source for the business that is 10 miles away, must use Earthlink. I'm now presuming this is the case with this new info.
However, there is another --3rd-- business on other side of street and he uses --Apple mac just like me-- and his ISP is "host centric". I looked at his mac preference accounts outgoing ( smtp ) line and his is
"mail.the business name.com:his email address",
i.e. he does not use Earthlink but he has no problem sending out mail via the same DSl/broadband connections we have
The only reason he has his address in the outgoing mail liine is bceause he too is in larger business building with several differrent computers and email address's.
I've tried all kinds of combinations that are similar to the Earthlink outgoing and the hostcentric outgoing
but none work for the local.com account.
The exact error message provided when trying to send
messages is also pertinent information.
"message delivery failed" "the attempt to read data from the server 'server-name' failed"
Then it gives me option to try differrent server names.
Thanks for your efforts Allan and ohters.

Can't send mail via mail

Greetings O Wise Ones,
The smtp setting are correct. I can receive mail. The mail app was working fine one minute and the next I couldn't send mail. Tried a new smtp and it didn't work either, Created a new login user and new mail. The smtp work with the new user but not with the old one. Any ideas that don't delete the com.apple.mail.plist? If that's the only way. How do I save my mail boxes?

This is happening to my wife's Leopard 10.5.8 upgraded machine right now.
We've been using Apple Mail for years and it works, but suddenly stopped working
and refuses to send mail via any SMTP server at all. It just spins forever and eventually
complains it can't.
The account is configured to send via comcast (smtp.comcast.net), DSL (smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com), and gmail, as choices. Two of them require authentication, Comcast doesn't require authentication, only that the e-mail be sent via the Comcast cable router, which it is.
I've tried removing the SMTP accounts and carefully re-adding, removing the Gmail IMAP mail account itself in Apple Mail and re-adding, and even moving aside the /Users/<user/Library/Mail folder so it can be re-added. I've even used the sqlite3 index vacuum command.
On my own Mac Pro, 10.5.8, I'm able to send e-mail, but on the notebook mail is wedged up for good and it seems to be associated with the upgrade. I am now re-installing 10.5.8 from the 'combined' download, and I'll see if it fixes it. What a hassle.

Sending mail via Javascript.

It is possible to send mail via a Javascript. If so can anyone support me with the code to do so.

you use the Windro$$ scripting host, and use an ActiveXObject to access the Outlook (not express) poroperties.

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.
Thanks,

Surname not recognized when sending mail via FM

Hi SDN,
I am on WAS 6.20. SRM System.
I have a BSP, which sends mail via FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
when putting a normal dialog user in the ICF Service of the BSP I get a mail in my email client, which shows as sender the forename, surname of the corresponding SU01 SAP User. When putting service user in the ICF service the sender, which shows up in my email-client is always 'www' even though I changed fore- and surname of this service user. Why is that?

Report RSWUWFML to send mails to Outlook about the work item Arrival

Hello,
Report RSWUWFML to send mails to Outlook about the work item Arrival - Can we make settigns so that only work items pertaining to Leave Requests are sent to the Outlook.
Please help.
Regards,
Poornima

Hi Poornima,
RSWUWFML is very old, you should use RSWUWFML2 at least but if you are on release Basis 6.40 or above you should use Extended Notifications. As mentioned in the other posts you need to restrict your selection criteria by task TSXXXXXXX. The task associated with the work items you want to send a notifcation about. You need to open the workflow definition and open the step in th definition that corresponds to the work item.
Another way would be to highlight one of the work items in the users inbox SBWP in the backend and click the "Details" button in the toolbar. You will see the task ID listed there.
Regards,
Eddie

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

If you still have this concern: You can only use the alias address linked to the main iCloud account that you backup your iPad to. You can check that going to Setting-iCloud and check the Account email address.
I think this restriction is rather rediculous. I don't see why we can't configure an alias from a different iCloud account the same way we do for a Gmail account. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS 6.
