Setting mail server

Hello,
I would like to test internal mail service with Snow Leopard Server (before trying a service accessible from the web).
I have a dynamic IP from my ISP and I use a DYNDNS xxxx.dyndns.org to access my server from the web (but maybe it is useless for what I want to do).
1/ The DNS is configured most simply this way :
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.     zone inverse          -
     192.168.0.10               mappage inverse   server.internal.
server.internal.                 zone principale                         -
     server                        machine               192.168.0.10
MX mail exchange :          server.internal.                                        5
external DNS requests are sent to 192.168.0.1 (modem/router)
Is it the right way to configure the DNS ? I have no problem to access internal or external addresses.
2/ The Mail service is configured and activated :
Domain name = server.internal.
Host name = server.internal
Activate SMTP, with Kerberos authentication, no SSL
Transit outgoing mail through host : <my ISP SMTP>
Activate IMAP and POP, with Kerberos authentication, no SSL
3/ I have a user 'test' and I activated the mail.
I declared server.internal as mail server, with POP and IMAP access.
4/ I created an IMAP mail account within mail.app :
Receiving server = server.internal, port 143, no SSL, Kerberos Version 5 (GSSAPI)
SMTP = server.internal, default ports, no SSL, Kerberos Version 5 (GSSAPI)
For both, username = test and password is the account password
Of course, it does not work : mail cannot connect to the IMAP and to the SMTP server.
But why ?
My network background is light and all I could read about DNS did not help me.
Thanks for your help.
Eric

SAlut Rikki49,
Je vois que tu viens d'Anger alors je récris en français...
Je n'ai même pas tenté ton expérience pour la raison suivante:
J'ai aussi une IP dynamique pour mon serveur Snow leopard et les serveurs smtp qui relaient les mails d'un serveur mail avec une IP dynamique sont simplement blacklistés....
TU pourras donc éventuellement recevoir des mail via ton serveur et ton dyndns que tu héberges mais tu ne pourras pas en envoyer...
Dans le meilleur des cas, tu pourras utiliser la réception et l'envoi tant que tu seras dans le même réseau que ton serveur mais une fois que tu seras ailleurs, les problèmes commenceront...
TOt de bon quand même!

Setting mail server to check other (remote) POP accounts

Can someone tell me what technique is used to configure Mac OS X (Tiger) Server to retrieve mail from other POP servers? I am wanting to use an internal mail server at my organisation for main mail handling (most large emails are between people within the building) and have it automatically retrieve emails from various ISP mail servers.
This way, users appear to have a very fast connection to the mail server, and if it ever goes down they can still connect to the ISP's server and still be able to retrieve new messages.
Also useful for collecting a desparate collection of email accounts into one, and have the mail filters act on it.
I've come across etrn & uucp, but they don't sound like this is what they were designed for.
thanks,
Ray.

Thanks Jeff. Just the one word was required to send me off in the right direction. I had encountered sendmail, but couldn't recall it to get a man page on it.
One other question (couldn't find mention of it in discussions): I have played with it and got it working for my account by running it manually (and as a daemon under my user).
But the question is how do I get it to launch at startup? Do I put a .plist in the /Library/LaunchDaemons? And if started this way, will it automatically notice all the ~/.fetchmailrc files and process everyone's mail?
Thanks for your help.

How to set up my mail server

I have a Mac Mini with Mac OS X Lion Server 10.7.2 at home. I'm trying to move away from a Windows SBS 2003 with MS Mail Exchange 2003. Because I learned this stuff by setting up the Windows Server, I am trying to follow a similar approach with the Mac Server. (I understand I may have to re-train may brain.) I set up the Mac Mini with a local domain. My setup is primarily for family use, so I did not see a need for registering a public domain. (I've had the Windows setup running since 2003 and all has been fine with that setup.) We have several desktops, and laptops around the house, so I want for everyone to be able to log in to any desktop/laptop they find and still be able to read/send e-mails under their own mail account and keep the mail folder structure they have created. I'm trying for Mac Mail Server to receive all e-mail for all users (mail is provided by our ISP - Verizon.net; some users have more than one e-mail address), for clients to pull mail from the Mac Mail Server (via Mac Mail, or MS Outlook), the clients would send mail ) via the configured SMTP locally, and all the mail forlders to synchronize back to the Mac Mail Server for when the user logs in from another machine. Is that possible? If so, how? I recall that in Windows SBS 2003 I configured a POP Connector that receives all the mail for all the users and I designated a domain user to send the mail to. MS Exchange would take care of sychronizing the mail folders between the client connection and the mail server. I bought the Mac Mini, a Time Capsule and an iMac to start my transition, but I'm not sure I'll be able to duplicate what I had with MS Exchange.

Sorry, I know it is more a microsoft problem, but it happened when I tried to set up my icloud mail on my pc.

How to set up a mail server with a private DNS and relay over a public mail

How to set up the mail server that we can send and pick up emails inside and outside?
Our private network has the DNS name dnsname1.private.
We have our privat DNS Server and he can forward requests to outside over our router.
Our public emails are hosted by an internet provider. This dns name is dnsname2.com and dnsname2.org.
How we have to set up our mail server that we can pick up our emails from our public dnsname2.com?
And when we write an email how we have to set up it that the dnsname is dansname2.com and not dnsname1.private?

If you want to move your mailservice to your own (internal) server, start by making sure you can recieve traffic on port TCP 25 (SMTP). Some ISPs blocks this port, especially on "non business" connections.
Can you send mail from your LAN directly to where your mail is hosted using port 25 TCP or do you have to relay via your ISP?
You have a static public IP?

HT201320 I want to set up a POP3 email account but in all the help I have found so far I should get the option to choose IMAP or POP. This doesn't appear and I need POP3 because I don't want anything deleted from the mail server. I have an iPhone 5s and

How do I set up a POP3 email account on my iPhone5s, using iOS 7.1.1. All the help I have found tells me to select IMAP or POP but I am not given the choice. I need to be able to set 'Don't delete from mail server' which can't be done in IMAP.

Okay.

Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
Any ideas?

In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

Error in setting icloud mail on iMac - 'incoming mail server'

I created a new mail account in icloud and cannot edit this account in Mail Preferences on my iMac. Everytime I try to save my changes i get the following error:
"The incoming mail server filed cannot be empty."
Of course the field is automatically filled in and greyed out so it is not changable.
I have tried various fixes, deleting, setting up again, setting up the iCloud and Mail/etc. in System Preferences...
Help!

Hi Suebadu,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be frustrating when an email account, such as your Gmail accounts, are not working as you would expect. In this situation I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article. The Connection Doctor may provide some further information as to what is causing the errors.

What is my outgoing mail server for setting up a new account in Mail?

Hi, I'm trying to set up a new account in Mail so that I check my school e-mail from that application and I've figured out what my incoming mail server is, but what where would I find the outgoing mail server if I want to send through Mail?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

How do I set up a mail server and SMTP server to send messages to other mail servers at mavericks

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

Setting up a mail server on a 2010 MacMini Server

Hi,
I am having great difficulty in setting up my Mail server on my 2010 MM server.   Setup is as follows:
1. Domain name hosted by dyndns.org with mail forwarding setup to forward incoming mail to my mail address <[email protected]>
2. Outgoing mail is being sent from the server via my local ISP using their relay server
3. Mail Server settings in Server app shown as "Provide mail for: mail.domainname.org"
4. Authentication set to: "Relay outgoing mail through ISP"
5. dyndns.com confirm that the domain host side is set up correctly.
6. Local ISP confirms that local relay service is set up correctly.
Problem is Mail account cannot be activated in Apple Mail.    email setup details in my server Mail app are as follows:
     Account Type:    POP
     Email address:   [email protected]
     Full Name:         my name
     Incoming Mail Server:   mail.domainname.org
      User Name:      admin
      Password:        password on the dynsdyn.com srever
      Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):   Local ISP providers mail relay service
Has anyone any idea where this setup is wrong?   Also, I am unable to find a server manual for OSX 10.8.4 server. Does anyone know where I can get this?
Any help you can give is most appreciated.
Thank in advance
Roger

Hi Linc,
For the email address on the server, I create the account in my Apple mail in the normal way. I fill in the details shown on the accounts setup panel as shown in my original post above. I then click on the "Enable this account" button but it does not connect to anywhere.
For the Server setup, this is also described in points 3. and 4. above.
The result is that the server seems to be setup properly but this may not be the case, which is why I asked my questions.
Sorry I cannot be more explicit but if you are willing to ask deeper questions that might point to the problem, I would be more that delighted to supply the answers if I can.

Problems with setting up my ISP's mail server in Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird

The laptop is a G60-535DX with Windows 7 64 bit. I've managed to setup my gmail account fine in Live Mail, but when setting up my ISP' mail server, it doesn't work. I get the message that the information was entered correctly, and I see the 'connecting' at the bottom of the page, and then 'error', and clicking on it shows a socket error #10061. In Thunderbird, I get a timeout error message. I've entered all the incoming and outgoing server information correctly, (I've done this over 8-9 times now), the ports are the defaults(110,25), no SSL, no authentication. I've talked with my ISP several times. Just a couple of hours ago was the last time. Their only other possibilities were that Live Mail had problems with setting up more than one account, that Live Mail needed updating, that Windows 7 was a new operating system and there were 'kinks'. I removed the gmail account, set up the ISP's mail by itself; didn't help. I checked for Live Mail updates, but found out that they all come from Windows updates(which are current). The folks on PCQ&A inform me that they have 3 or 4 accounts with Live Mail. I can get my mail, by logging onto my ISP's website, but that' kind of a nuisance. I posted this in Seven Forums and they didn't have any ideas. As I said, I also can't get my mail server to work in Thunderbird, either. I don't know what else to try. (short of activating the recovery partition and starting from scratch). Any ideas would be more that welcome.
Thanks,
Steve

Nevermind, it's fixed. One of the guys on PCQ&A suggested going to my ISP's website to see if they had a support page. They did and it stated that under certain circumstances that for the login ID the whole email address should be entered. For XP and Outlook Express one only uses the first part of the email address (your name); so just for grins I entered the whole address, name and all and everyting worked. Called my ISP and was told that that wasn't the way it's supposed to work. Well----
Thanks anyway,

Mine works the same way_must enter full email address as login. AT&T?

Setting up a mail server

Ok, i'm a novice when it comes to setting up and installing a mail server, but i really want to learn because our mail service ***** and i want to be able to control it. What i really want to do is just set up a dummy account on the leopard server and maybe my account just to test. How would i go abouts doing that? In layman's terms "dumb it down" for me and explain how to set it up

Setting up a mail server IMAP + SMTP with an external DNS

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if i will be 100% clear in this message because i've got a slight pain in the head because i've been trying to get a mail server running in Tiger Server the entire evening.
So here's my problem: The server i'm administrating needs to gain a mail server. For the first time in my life i have to set one up and i'm not to happy about it. I've tried to follow everything in the manual but it isn't working at all.
This is my server situation: Domain registered by a friend points to DNS server of my ISP which creates all the Entries which all point to my server in the datacenter. On that server i need to get an IMAP + SMTP server running.
I've tried everything and I even got the IMAP part working at one time (people could send emails to a temp. account on the server) but after altering the setting so i could send email everything went wrong. No receiving or sending.
Please help me out!
Thanks in advance and please don't tell me to read the manual because i have and it isn't working.
greetings Abram

another question to keep in mind: the domain that it should be linked to at this moment (test) is another domain then the final domain i wish to use.
The current domain is: sleekmac.com
This domain has another setup then the final domain
The final domain works like this:
Bought by friend ---> points to ISPs datacenter --> points to server
The current domain works like this
Bought by me ---> dns is hosted by the party where i bought the domain ---> points to server
These are my dns inputs concerning mail for the current domain:
@ - A (Host Record) - 193.26.1.120
mail - A (Host Record) - 193.26.1.120
@ - MX (Mail Exchange Record) mail.sleekmac.com.[21]
the [21] was an autoprefix by my host.
