Server Admin, Mailing lists, server_mgr error

Hi,
Everytime I try to use SA to add a mailing list (or anything under Mail), I get a "A connection with a server or service was lost" error. In the system log, I get this:
host /Applications/Server/Server Admin.app/Contents/ MacOS/Server Admin: HTTPREQUESTFAILED: https://hostname:311/ commands/servermgr_mail: err=0 (write)\n
I have tried repairing permissions and rebooting the server. I tried restoring the servermgr_mail service to default configuration. Any other ideas?

don't use Server admin to add a maillist
connect through your web browser.
go to
http://servername.domain.com/mailman/admin
http://servername.domain.com/mailman/create
you may need to turn web service on.

  • Enable server group mailing list

    I am try to figure out why I cannot get the server group mailing list to work. I have a group called testgroup in my OD and have 4 users added to it. I restarted the server after I ticked the box "enable server group mailing list" in Mail/settings/Mailing list and when I send an email to testgroup the mail client rejects the address. What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is create a group email account.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    HI John,
    The group settings in WGM SL and Leopard are different.
    Yes, they are. I booted to my eval copy of SL Server and ran through the settings in WGM, Server Admin and Server Preferences; as you pointed out, all the mail list admin tools I could find are in the Mail service in Server Admin.
    The only thing that may be of interest that I could find is that for the group mail list, the email address for the group is group_shortname@ServerDNSname, not groupshortname@yourdomain (this is in the Mail Services Admin Guide for 10.6). This might explain why your email to the group may have been rejected?

  • Removing Mail accounts from Server Admin Mail:Maintenance:Accounts list

    I have removed users from WGM and they are still showing up in Server Admin. I've seen posts that said to use SirAdmin or cyradm from the command line to remove them, but when I use those, the users aren't listed. Only in SA are these users still listed. Any ideas?
    I've moved this mail server from a 10.3 machine to a 10.4 machine so this may be legacy issues. It seems that any users I've deleted since being on 10.4 have been removed from the list. It's just users who I had deleted while it was on 10.3 that are still showing up.

    Yes I did. I added a user to the admin line of imapd.conf and logged in as that user. When I try logging in to SirAdmin as another user I get an error and it won't even open a connection.

  • Messaging Server and Mailing Lists

    Hello,
    is Messaging Server capable for use as a mailing list server like mailman to which one can send subscribe, unsubscribe and help messages? If yes, can one point me to the right documentation about that?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello Ajith,
    Look at this and try downloading "mailmanwrapper.pl "
    http://ims.balius.com/downloads/
    I looked at the script but I do not understand the mapping to the LDAP database backend of the Messaging Server. In the script it is said "The ldap entries for the above aliases are below the script" but there are no such entries. In another wrapper script from Stephen Balukoff I found the following example LDAP entries:
    dn: uid=list,ou=Mailman,ou=People,o=${mail_domain},o=isp
    objectClass: mailRecipient
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: inetMailUser
    objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
    mailUserStatus: active
    mail: list@${mail_domain}
    mailHost: ${mail_host}
    uid: list
    mailDeliveryOption: program
    mailProgramDeliveryInfo: mailman-post
    dn: uid=list-request,ou=Mailman,ou=People,o=${mail_domain},o=isp
    objectClass: mailRecipient
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: inetMailUser
    objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
    mailUserStatus: active

    mailHost: ${mail_host}
    uid: list-request
    mailDeliveryOption: program
    mailProgramDeliveryInfo: mailman-mailcmd
    dn: uid=list-admin,ou=Mailman,ou=People,o=${mail_domain},o=isp
    objectClass: mailRecipient
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: inetMailUser
    objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
    mailUserStatus: active
    mail: list-admin@${mail_domain}
    mailHost: ${mail_host}
    uid: list-admin
    mailDeliveryOption: program
    mailProgramDeliveryInfo: mailman-mailowner
    mailAlternateAddress: list-owner@${mail_domain}
    Are this entries correct for the list aliases in mailmanwrapper.pl?
    Thank you.

  • Want to cleanup SOST Mail list (Sent, ERROR)

    Hi Experts,
    I want to delete all SOST mail list which has been SENT and ERROR status in my SAP CRM system.
    because each mail contain 2.5 Mb and we run campaign time to time with a lirg number of recipient around 40-50 thousand.
    So it's unnecessarily taking space in my database.
    Is there any report to run cleanup of ERROR/SENT/EXPIRED mail list in SOST.
    workaround : I can manually select and delete all from list.
    So can anyone help me to cleanup these Mails using any Report.
    Regards,
    Sandeep Meher

    Hi Sandeep,
    You can use below reports for deletions;
    RSSODELT or RSSODELA:     but both reports are used to delete the complete SAP-Office messages.
    RSBCS_REORG:     This will allow you to select a date range as well as other filters.

  • Server Admin hangs... error with servermgr_smb, says plug-in crashed

    Whenever I run Server Admin and connect to the server, there is a very long delay before loading up the services and then stalls on Windows. An error window displays everytime. I am not running Windows sharing and this service should be turned off. I'm not sure where to go from here. Here is my system logs for this event:

    The error message that appears after Server Admin tries to load up is:
    Try to refresh the view (209.147.120.141/Windows). Report the problem to the administrator if it persists. (“servermgr_smb” server-side plugin may have unexpectedly quit)
    I have tried deleting the preferences file for Server Admin, I have tried replacing the servermgr_smb script in the cgi-bin folder, I have tried replacing the servermgr_smb bundle... I'm not sure where else to try and I haven't found much pertaining to this topic. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix? Any help is appreciated.

    I looked at the logs again and am still getting these same error messages:
    Oct 16 15:30:14 web /usr/share/servermgrd/cgi-bin/servermgr_smb: [16259-a000b2a4] SIGALRM: process timed out

  • Server Admin alphabetized list in File Sharing

    Using Server Admin 10.5.8 to browse a sharepoint, directories are not listed alphabetically.
    I cannot find an option to change the sorting.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Like most column views in Server Admin you can click the column header to sort the list by that column. The change doesn't appear to be persistent, so you'll need to do it each time you launch Server Admin, but it should suffice.

  • Server Admin- Mail queue is this before or after its been checked as spam?

    Hi we have been bombarded with shed loads of junk causing the mail queue to swell and slow down considerably almost to a halt. I have now created the junkmail account and the notjunkmail accounts and now trying to teach the server to sort itself out.
    However in the queue we have MADEUP [email protected] and Im deleting these manually as i cant mark these as junkmail. Will the server once taught, be able to distinguish between the real users and the made up ones?
    Also is what is in the queue is this after the filtering or what will be filtered?
    Thanks Hope this makes sense.
    Oh and if any one knows any great bolt on gui spam filters for mac server 10.4 id appreciate your advice... Thanks

    Sieve scripting is built in.
    Example vacation email script, forwarding and junk-mail processing are included in the Command Line manual.

  • OS X 10.5 Server - Mailing lists

    I'm trying to get mailing lists on OS X 10.5 server to work, but when I place the check mark in the "enable server group mailing lists" in server admin it does not allow me to select the server name from "Enable the following servers for this group on" xxx in the workgroup manager. What would be the best way to trouble shoot this issue?
    I've checked the console log and the mail logs and do not see any errors when enabling the server group mailing lists.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear BDAqua, YOU ARE A DUDE! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!  I was expecting this to take ages etc etc...
    It worked just like you said - took a reboot to put the HD image back on the Desktop, but what's a reboot or two between friends. I am soo releived. Thank you so much!
    I don't know if you'll remember, but you helped me previously with trying to install this .....thing of a server....
    Well now it's installed I now find out it can do more damage running than just being awkward and refusing.
    To be honest, I'm so fed up with it the only thing stopping me upgrading to a new set up is the cost of the extra 3rd party software/app upgrades to work on 10.8... (I run 10.8 on my wife's macmini and it appears quite good...)
    I also know that somehow I'm going to have to find info to set this up without any more scares like this. I haven't been able to connect the client (my other 2) macs yet - perhaps I don't know enough yet? The original manual while saying quite a lot, doesn't really explain much very well...
    Do you know anywhere I could learn to set this up? Maybe websites, youtube channels or the such like?
    Many, many thanks again. I owe you one. I'd like to buy you a drink, but I don't think it would last across the atlantic...(I'm in Wales, in the UK), and I think you're in the USA somewhere?
    Anyway, thanks for saving my bacon, and If you have any other info regarding setting up 10.5 server please drop us a line when you have a moment, otherwise, Thank you and Godbless.

  • Mail Server Relay Authentication Failure in Server Admin

    I need to set up Mail Server to relay through my ISP.  I know that I can authenticate to smtp.comcast.net:587 using my account and TLS usnig a mail client.
    However, when I use Server Admin to configure my server's SMTP to send all outgoing email through this relay (Server Admin>Mail>Settings>General>
    Rely outgoing mail through host: smtp.comcast.net:587
             Authenticate to rely with user name: user
    I get the SMTP error:
    SASL authentication failed: cannot authenticate to server smtp.comcast.net[76.96.62.117]: no mechanism available
    There are no toggles on Server Admin to specify TLS or SSL or anything for authentication.
    Does anyone know how to tell Server Admin how to authenticate an SMTP relay to smtp.comcast.net using TLS, which is apparently what comcast expects?

    Wow, this is an obscure solution, but it works. According to this thread, the problem is that:
    Although Comcast advertises "AUTH LOGIN PLAIN", the Postfix SASL library won't do plain text auth by default. It needs to be told it's okay with:
    smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
    Solution:
    $ su -
    $ cd /etc/postfix
    $ cp main.cf main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
    $ echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
    $ serveradmin stop mail
    $ serveradmin start mail
    I'm not sure how often /etc/postfix/main.cf is overwritten, but presumably this happens every time you change and save Mail settings in Server Admin, so you must redo these steps every time you change the Mail server if you want to use smtp.comcast.net as your mail relay.
    AAPL, would you please add a toggle to handle this in Server Admin?

  • Home dir quotas not showing up in Server Admin

    We have 8 AFP servers here and for some reason 2 of them are not displaying the quota information in Server Admin. Nothing has been changed to these machines so I'm puzzled as to why this is happening all of a sudden.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    So how DOES one go about adding new users?  I have the Advanced installation.  Here's what I have done:
    Gone into Workgroup Manager, authenticated into LDAP 127.0.0.1 along where the other users are
    Added a new user
    Gave them short name email addresses:  Name: Scott Thatguy, Short Names: scott, [email protected]
    Gave him a password, clicked "access account"
    Enabled their mail in the Mail tab, gave them a mail server which resolves properly, and IMAP only
    Save
    In Server Admin: Mail: Overview, IMAP is running.
    In Server Admin: Mail: Maintenance: Accounts, nobody new shoes up.  I've stopped mail, restarted it.  Nothing.  Restarted the box.  Nothing.
    Nobody knows what's going wrong?  Why haven't these accounts been started and showing up in this list? 
    Really, any help appreciated.  This stuff is supposed to be easy. 
    Cheers

  • How to enable mail list archives in the wiki?

    I have had a group wiki for some time, but the group maillist service was not enabled until recently. When I enabled "server group mail lists" in Server Admin and selected the "Mailing list" option in WGM for this group, I hoped that the "Mail" tab would appear in the wiki after sending a few messages to the group. Not so.
    Using the 'serveradmin' command, it looks like the listArchive option is disabled:
    $ sudo serveradmin settings web | grep -i listarchive
    web:Sites:array_id:123.456.789.12:443wiki.mydomain.ca:mailingListArchive = no
    When I try to change it, serveradmin echos "emptyarray":
    $ sudo serveradmin settings web:Sites:array_id:123.456.789.12:443wiki.mydomain.ca:mailingListArchive = yes
    web:Sites = emptyarray
    ...and the mailingListArchive attribute is still set to "no". Am I doing something wrong? How can I enable group list archives?
    Thanks!

    Found it: Server Admin -> Web -> Sites -> Web Services -> Mailing list web archive. Then go back to WGM -> Groups -> Basic, and the option for mailling list web archive is no longer greyed out.
    Checking the wiki after a webserver restart, I get the "mail" tab now. There are no emails in the web archive, but thats a different issue .

  • DHCP does not load as a service from the Server Admin

    Dear friends,
    I have faced the following problem.
    The task is to do internet sharing among other services on mac mini server.
    Started with the clean install of OS X Lion, upgraded it to Server and then installed all updates.
    USB Ethernet (en2) is looking into ISP with static IP, Ethernet (en0) is LAN.
    Since I need specific address scope for the LAN I have actived DHCP from the Server admin and configured it to provide
    192.168.8.11 to 192.168.8.200 as an adress scope, mask 255.255.0.0 on the interface en0.
    Everything was working just fine for a couple of minutes and the LAN clients got their  IP addresses from the DHCP scope. In a very short time Server Admin popped up and error message:
    Try to refresh the view (aserver.local./Server). (kReceivedUnknownError)
    Niether grey nor green bubble apears near the DHCP on the service list.
    I keep recieving this error for all other services until I manage to disable dhcp on the services tab of server settings. After all I cant make it run again. I tried to restart dhcp from the terminal but it does not help. "sudo serveradmin fullstatus dhcp shows nothing".
    Do you have any ideas how to make it work?

    So you're not using NAT between the two? Even though you're using 255.255.0.0 so both network can talk (basically you have a class B network setup using Class C ip addresses), your network masks for each should be something like 255.255.255.xxx depending on how many subnets you need.  NAT or Network Address Translation should be running and that will provide the interconnectivity between the two.  
    Your DHCP server should be set up only with 255.255.255.0 for the DHCP service since you are only serving IP addresses to the one subnet 192.168.8.x. Your starting address in DHCP setup is 192.168.8.11 ending address 192.168.8.200 and the netmask should be 255.255.255.0.  

  • Cannot enable group mailing list

    Hi,
    Running 10.5.2 server on Xserve, server acts as OpenDirectory master and Mail sever.
    We have a normal mail service running fine, but trying to enable the "Mailing List" option for groups results in an error.
    "Error of type eDSInvalidAttributeType (-14131) on line 733 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319/Plugins/GroupAccounts/GroupB asicPluginView.mm"
    Web service is enabled, and appears as the option for the dropdown "Enable services for this group on:", but even just choosing the server from the dropdown and attempting to save the config (without turning on any services) results in this error.
    Can anyone help with what this means?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi,
    In Mail service -> General -> ensure "Enable SMTP" is checked,
    if you don't desire to send outgoing from clients then don't select any authentication methods in Mail Service -> Security -> SMTP,
    In Mail service ->Mailing Lists ensure that "Enable server group mailing lists" is checked,
    once that is done, per website -> Web Services ensure "Mailing List web archive" is checked if you want mail to appear on the website,
    For each group ensure "Mailing list" is checked, and "Mailing List web archive" if you want the group email repository on the website.
    At least one group member should have an email account or a Forward to email address for the mail to go somewhere, assuming Web archive is not selected.
    Send an email to the group address at [email protected] and look in the SMTP log for teamsserver to receive the email and then forward to individual addresses.
    Hope this helps,
    Harry

  • Wiki Mailing lists

    I am having a problems with wiki mailing lists, they were working fine for about six months then one day stopped the issue seems to be that the automatically generated list in Postfix is not finding the email addresses for the group.
    All members of the group have email address showing up in the info tab of the WGM but still nothing seems to be generated.
    If any one can add any insight I would be very grateful.

    So do I. We upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.4. We have been using 'Mailing-Lists for groups' under 10.5 for years, and everything was easy. After migrating to 10.6 the radio-button in Server-Admin still exists, but it is not working any more. Strategic decission to feature the wiki system, without telling loyal migrators?
    So we changed using the wiki-mailing-list function. Worked fine (though no welcome-messages for new users showed up, as promised, but who cares...) until we restarted the server for the first time. Messages went still straight to the wiki-site, but would not be delivered to the users any more.
    After spending a week with '/etc/postfix/aliases', the 'newaliases command' and other fun stuff I discovered, that turning off or on 'Mailman-Mailing-List' in Server-Admin/Mail/Mailing-Lists does the job of refreshing the the '/etc/postfix/aliases' file that seams to be responsible to sending the wiki-emails to the defined users of the wiki.
    Tell me if that does the job for you as well!
    And yes I am talking about Mailman-Mailing-Lists to be turned *off or on*, and not about the Group- Mailing-Lists.
    Regards
    Robert
