Simple Mail Server - Internal use

Hello everybody
I need to use the mail service of a Tiger server just for internal use. The domain of the server is a .local (no DNS, no Open Directory). Ive setup the settings in Mail, and enabled it for user, and when ive set it up in Mail or Entourage, nothing is going out and nothing is coming in. It tries to send the mail, and after a long time it timouts.

Here it is
Osx-Server:~ macuser$ postconf -n
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
content_filter =

Which mail server is used in a webapp?

Hi all,
I have a Webapp where the users can send an email
to me including the parameters of a form
( <form action="mailto:[email protected])....>
<input type="hidden" name="param1" value="xx"/>
Now depending on which mail client the user has on his machine the resulting email differs, sometimes the parameters as 1 attachment, sometimes xx attachments.
So I want to implement it with javamail-api.
MY question: I have to tell the API the name of the mailserver. How can I know what mail-server the user uses? Or are all these emails processed through my own mail-server?
Please help me to understand it. Thanks a lot in advance,
Peter

Hey ho.
You have to hardconde the mail servers in your code to point to the mail server you use (= your ISP's server) or host (= Your own mailserver). All the mails are then processed through that specified server.

Mail server cannot use certificate because.. the filename is too long ?

Hi,
For some reasons, yesterday, I created a new certificate on our server (XServe with Mac OSX Server 10.6.2) and I assigned this certificate to the mail server. Since then, we are not able to connect to our mail server. We receive an error saying the server cannot open a connection on port 993.
I looked at the mail access log and I think I might have found the cause:
Jan 7 09:20:25 xs1 dovecot[1944]: Fatal: sslcafile: Can't use /etc/certificates/LemieuxBedard.com.264472D0EC029B3194A4B779D2187278189E8352.ch ain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem: File name too long
I don't understand why the name is too long since the previous certificate had a name even longer. Is this a bug that should be corrected on the next update or have-I indeed done something wrong? Right now, I disable the certificate on the mail server and it works. However, I'd really like to use the certificate.
Thanks for any help.

No, you didn't do anything wrong, JeanPhilippe. I'm right there with you. There's even another thread on this issue:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10808126>
I had the same problem: IMAP & POP services would not launch using SSL. Finally got it resolved today. It had nothing to do with certificates and their names, or creating them in openssl, and everything to do with a botched dovecot.conf file, courtesy of Server Admin.
It appears that every time I changed the certificate for IMAP & POP SSL in Server Admin, it appended the new selection to the dovecot.conf file on 3 separate lines. The result was an unhealthy list of every certificate file Server Admin had ever been pointed to for this service.
After making a backup, I edited the file (/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) down to the single cert file I wanted it to use. It happened to be first in the list, FWIW.
If you want to duplicate this, look for the lines beginning with:
"sslcertfile"
"sslkeyfile"
"sslcafile"
Obviously you need to be careful in there. But I did not even have to bounce the service before it took my changes. Thankfully, Server Admin did not overwrite my edits (which I've seen happen with manual config of other services, such as the iChat service.)
Good luck, and let me know if I can provide more detail.

Is my mail server being used to relay spam?

I've just setup a new OS X server (10.5.6). The only two services I have running are mail and web. The web services seem to be running well. However, mail is giving me problems. Specifically:
I have "Relay" set with two ip addresses. The first is localhost: 127.0.0.0/8 and the other is: 216.23.173.96/28 which is the ip network my server is on.
However, when I look at my SMTP log - set to "debug" level - it shows lots of mail activity including this entry:
"Apr 23 19:53:34 MMcolo postfix/smtp[39718]: DBEAE98602: host g.mx.mail.yahoo.com[206.190.53.191] refused to talk to me: 421 Message from (216.23.173.107) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50. Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html"
That url takes you to a page that states that my mail server may be being used as a spam server, so I can't send mail to yahoo accounts.
The logs also show multiple attempts to connect to a variety of different domains. Since I'm the only one with an account on my server and I know I'm not sending those emails, it makes me concerned. Anyone have any suggestions or advice?
Thanks in advance,
John

I just went through this when I migrated to a new ISP. However, it was Comcast that was blocking me with a similar message. We thought our ISP had provided clean IPs. So I called Comcast and they were actually very helpful. Found out that in addition to some blacklist providers (spamhaus, etc) they are also using senderscore.org and trustedsource.org.
Turns out the block was due to the IP being listed as malicious on trustedsource.org. Got a new block from my ISP and all is now good. (trustedsource shows as unverified for the new, but that's ok with Comcast). From what I see unverified is the standard state for very low volume sites. There are some other sites for this "credit" score as well. senderbase.com is another (based on Cisco's IronPort).
So I would follow the link yahoo gives and select the part that says to send yahoo the messages and let them help diagnose the problem. If they're willing to help, use that.

Best e-mail server to use with iPhone and Mac?

I've always used hotmail as my e-mail server. Recently, I've started using the Mail app on my MacBook Pro instead. I really hate that the mail on my iPhone and the mail on my Mac do not sync with one another. Any suggestions??

should I forward any emails I would like to keep to my gmail account or is there a faster way of doing this?

URGENT! PLS HELP... using JAMES as mail server

hi, first of all... happy new year to everyone...
i am currently developing a web based application and one of the component in the system is using JAMES as mail server. I am done some modification in config.xml in JAMES, now the problem is i can only send internal mails instead of external one, such as hotmail and yahoo.
The error occurs as below:-
RemoteDelivery: Exception delivering message (Mail1041375079561-0-!448616653-to-hotmail.com) - Could not connect to SMTP host: hotmail.com, port: 25
How can i send mails to hotmail and yahoo users or any other external mail?
Can anyone pls help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

sounds like a network problem rather than a JAMES problem. Have you confirmed that you can ping the hotmail mail server, and then that you can "telnet" in to it on port 25?
If you have a windows machine handy, you can find out the IP address of hotmail's primary mail server by using nslookup:
C:\>nslookup
set type=MX
hotmail.comIf you don't get anything from this, it would indicate a DNS problem. Once you have the IP address, try to telnet to it on port 25:
C:\>telnet 65.54.254.129 25
Here's what I got...
220 mc1-f3.law16.hotmail.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 5.0.2195.5600 ready at Wed, 1 Jan 2003 21:19:03 -0800
If you aren't able to connect, it's probably either a firewall at your end blocking outbound TCP traffic on port 25 (or possibly all ports), or a DNS issue, or some sort of routing issue with your ISP

Sane virtual mail server setup?

I'm giving up. I want a simple mail server setup (imaps, pop3s, smtps) with virtual user support that I can comfortably configure from the web (PostfixAdmin, web-cyradm, courier-web). I want to manage multiple users on multiple domains. It appears that the task I want to accomplish is insanely complex for some reason. I'd like to use as few different software packages as possible.
I can't find a simple and sane tutorial on the topic and I don't even care what software is going to be used. Of course, I did search and play around with the config for hours but to no avail. The tutorials in the Arch wiki are no good either, they are either outdated or do not allow me to do web configuration.
Help me out here, please.

It's always good to have alternatives, but out of curiousity, did you not try the courier-mta wiki? I used that wiki guide recently and it had me running with a system like what you describe without too much fuss. The only stuff I haven't tried/used is web-based administration or mail access; perhaps this was the problem for you?

Simple mail functionality

Hi,
I am testing the simple mail functionality in transaction VA01.
In customizing (output determination processing routines) for simple mail is being used a program and a smartform. It was not me who developed them.
The problem is that when I try to test this through VA01 (I choose simple mail, etc), I get a dump saying: Invalid commit work in an update function module. Termination occurred in the ABAP program SAPLSOI1 in SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. The main program was RSM13000.
My problem now is how can I try to debug this when I am in transaction VA02? I am not able to execute the program I have in customizing
How can I found more information about this?
Thanks a lot

ICloud mail server - Unable To Send With Apple Mail client

OS X 10.10.2
Mail v 8.2
iCloud mail
I am still able to receive messages but suddenly unable to send. Messages stay stuck in Outbox.
Mail Connection Doctor reports no problems:
If I setup MS Outlook for Mac 2011 with this iCloud account, I am able to send and receive like a champ.
Once it starts working, is there a way to change the outgoing mail server to use SSL, i.e., turn SSL to "ON" ?

Yes, I did. It doesn't show up in the logs because, I'm unable to send a message - it goes to the outbox immediately. And this led me to the conclusion below.
And by the way, I did get in touch with Apple Support who went through a number of troubleshooting scripts (including trying to use GMail's mail servers) and ultimately had me reinstall OS X from scratch. None of this worked.
Now this problem of being unable to send mail via my iCloud account, from the Apple Mail client, started only around the end of Feb. What I finally figured was that iCloud mail was using random ports on my machine to invoke its SMTP port. Everytime I would disable the firewall on my router completely, iCloud mail was able to send just fine. Recall that incoming was (and still is) working fine. Anyway, I installed wireshark to ID the ports that were being used when the firewall was down. I set up triggers on my router to open these up, turned on the firewall, but it just isn't working. I will have to play around with wireshark and see if I can figure out what ports need to be opened. Unless you or someone else knows. If I figure it out, I will post it here. Mind you, that I need to figure out not only the source ports that need to access port 587 but also what the real target port is (because I don't think it is just 587 as Apple claims).
By the by, when I asked the Apple Technician (some guy who I was transferred to after 3 other people - the one who asked me to reinstall Yosemite) if there was a way to change the outgoing mail server to use SSL, i.e., turn SSL to "ON", he said no there wasn't and why would one need to secure the traffic to Apple's SMTP server anyway? Seriously?

E75 not connecting to corporate (IMAP) mail server

Cannot connect my new E75 to corporate IMAP mail server (Exchange), using SSL/TLS.
I have E71, and this device connects with same settings to corporate email without problems.
The same E75 connects to Gmail perfectly.
The most weird is that it connected once, downloaded three arbitrary emails and that is it, no connection anymore.
I am not using MfE, because I do not like MfE usability, I am using "regular" POP/IMAP version of the email client.
Does anyone have any helpful hints? Thank you!

If one searches the web there are many similar problems being faced on this device (E75) - whether you use GroupWise or Exchange. We have used the IMAP client on all previous Nokia phones upto and including the E71 with total success. That includes accessing the same mail boxes - E71 100% E75 only works with HTML mail - not text or richtext. Nokia representatives have been to our offices and seen the problem - they believe its an incompatibility between the new IMAP client and mail servers - what they don't know - are trying to find out if we can load an older IMAP client -
One would think NOKIA would look into this and let everyone know what the problem is and any solution. This kind of thing without speed communication chases people away from a brand and its hard to get them back.
Nokia please help all the users experiencing problems.

Outgoing mail server settings disappeared

I have several email accounts and all the outgoing mail server settings disappeared. How do i restore the outgoing mail server settings using time machine. Thank you.

Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist

Help with mail users and setup 10.6 mail server bound to 10.8 Open Directory

We have a 10.7 Open Directory server which was upgraded from 10.6. We have had some Open Directory issues since the upgrade. I am manually creating a 10.8 server as a replacement for the 10.7 server. All settings for services are running as expected and we are ready to turn over to the new server except for a problem with the ability to receive email.
Setup in both the original and the replacement has the OD server with DNS running with a correct MX record pointing to our 10.6 mail server.
In the replacement OD server the mail users were created as network users, with no userhome, with access to the mail service, and email addresses given.
The mail server was unbound from the original OD server, bound to the replacement OD server without SSL exactly as with the original, and restarted.
Initially the mail service said that mail clients had the wrong name or password. Opened WGM 10.6 on the MAIL server and checked the OD records. They showed the mail users not having the checkbox saying they were set up to receive mail selected. Selected the checkbox to receive mail.
Now the mail client seems to connect to the server correctly but does not show the emails in the system for the users. It is as though there is no email and the account is brand new.
Unbind the mail server from the replacement OD server, rebind it to the original OD server, and restart.
Mail clients connect and receive the mail in the accounts as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I figured out what the mail server is doing. It has created new email stores for each of the new users. If we bind to the original OD it uses the original set of email stores. If we bind to the replacement OD it uses the new set of email stores.
I have tried to make sure that the userIDs match in each OD but that did not help.
The server is working for each OD. Does anyone know if I can tell the 10.6 mail server to use the old emails in the mailstore for the new user in the new OD?
If nothing else I can solve the problem by archiving the emails and copying them into the new user when running the new OD.

Domain name from the configuerd mail server

HI,
How to get the domain name from the mail server that i configure using java Mail..
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", mailServer);
mailServer has my mailServer name like email.something.com
in my application, from address is the one user sets.. if they forgot to set it and tries to send a mail then i need to send that mail with a default address like [email protected] where something.com must be the domain name.. so i juz want to know how to get the domain name.?
hope it is clear. can any of u help me out?

There's no well-defined way to do this. The
simplest approach is to offer this as a configuration
option.
A more complicated approach would be to use
the host name of the mail server and look up
that name in DNS and try to find the DNS record
that tells which mail server to use for that host
name, perhaps stripping off elements of the name
until you find something. (And no, I can't explain
to you exactly how to do that.)

Connect SSL mail server

Hi, we are trying to apply some configuration changes that we are not able to get working.
We need to send mails to a mail server that uses TSL/SSL autentication, the mail server is up and working, and accesible from the SAP system, and we have widely search in the support portal, without succes with none of the notes or threads related.
Any help about how to configure it?

Could you please be more specific about what's not working ?
