SMTP routing all messages to Postmaster to Root and then null...

Anyone got any idea what might be causing this...?
Have a very simple OS X Server. Until upgrading to Server 3 / 10.9 it all worked fine. Then, after upgrade, I stopped getting mail on the Postmaster account.
Digging into SMTP log shows that server is simply forwarding all mail to postmaster to the root account, and then forwarding those messages to the null device.
Here is a lightly obscured entry from the log illustrating:
Oct 29 22:00:52 www.abc.xyz postfix/local[46314]: 4D5091253EA8: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to file: /dev/null)
I have no idea why it is doing this, but would very much like it to stop! Called Applecare and they didn't know anything - suggested I read the 'advanced administration manual for Server 3' - which I did. But doesn't contain anything meaningful on this topic.
Any help anyone can offer would be most appreciated!

Thanks for the info. That's stopped the messages being forwarded from root to the null device, but they are still being sent to the root account - not sure how to access these messages (as there is no obvious way to access the mail forwarded to root account: there is no 'root' account defined for the mail server).
Here is an example of the messages concerning this in the log...
Oct 30 11:33:18 www.abc.xyz postfix/pipe[36354]: 761F612672E3: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.04, delays=0.01/0/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service)
Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.

Why my iphone produces a bug after it renew for OS5.1.1. The bug is when I use message, type a Chinese word, and then using a releveant word, then the program automately closes. Every time I try the same procedure, it definitely closes.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Iphoto told me to restore from back up due to corrupt file. When I restore it, it gets all the way to the end and then it tells me it needs to be restored. HELP!

So my iPhoto told me to restore my library from a backup due to a problem with the file. First, there wasn't enough space so I deleted all kinds of stuff. I finally got it to restore and then it told me it needed to repair, thumbnmails, etc. It gets almost all the way to the end and then it tells me the file is damaged and to restore from a backup. It is like I am in an endless loop and I can't get to my photos. HELP ME

I restored it again last night. After the restore I have 52 GB left of space. The library is 71 GB. I opened iphoto and it says there are inconsistencies and it needs to repair. It is doing the repair now. What usually happens is that it does the repair and then starts the rebuild thumbnail part and gets to the very end of that before failing

downloaded the updated iTunes and that did nothing. I then went through the form about $ very VERY carefully and discovered one field left blank. Once that was filled in, everything worked and I now have my free app.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?

Right now, there is no way to upload and access photos in iCloud. You need to import them to a computer if you want to be able to retrieve them later:

I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success.

There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.
