(urgent) mailbfr -f   mail server not working anymore

i ran mailbfr -f in the morning,  i found it took  like 40 hours to run and also it disable all the services. i got 1000 users using the mail server, so i searched on line it said it doesnt harm if i stop the mailbfr -f anytime i want. so i stopped it, but after that i found all users` old mails are gone. and i tried mailbfr -m username, to reconstruct the single account, it worked again, so i kept reconstructing some users but all of sudden, the mail server doesnt work any more. and i have no idea why this happen. i have to continue the mailbfr -f to finish the whole reconstruct of the database.
i read many posts, they all say mailbfr is a good command and no harm, but it brought me big trouble. is there anyone had same problem before? anyone could help me with this? thanks so much.

  • TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
    I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
    Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
    Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

  • Yahoo outgoing mail server not working.

    My yahoo outgoing server not working on iPod touch or iPad it says apple.smtp.yahoo failed...incoming is ok so far...this outgoing mail failure just started about a couple of days back....anyone else having this problem?????what should I do?rediffmail account does not get set up either so just unable to use any of my emails. :(

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    I get 100% success pinging mail.adelphia.net, and if at your home venue where Adelphia is your ISP, then I think no separate Authentication is required. Port 25 would be the proper port. However, if you are not at home, and the provider of internet connection limits you to using only authenticated SMTP then you would not able to use mail.adelphia.net as the Outgoing Server.
    Are you at the venue where Adelphia is the ISP?

  • Mail server not working after upgrade

    After a few hours, my server finally came back up however mail is not working.
    In the /var/log/mail.log I see many error  messages related to the same thing from Postfix whenever an inbound mail is recieved.
    May 24 06:26:22 my.server.com postfix/postscreen[25712]: CONNECT from [62.13.138.73]:64283 to [192.168.0.3]:25
    May 24 06:26:22 my.server.com postfix/postscreen[25712]: fatal: error seeking /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/postscreen_cache.db: Invalid argument
    May 24 06:26:23 my.server.com postfix/master[54]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/postscreen pid 25712 exit status 1
    Help!

    I'd guess that the postscreen database is missing or corrupt.
    please issue the following Terminal.app commands:
    postconf -n -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/ | grep -i postscreen
    postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/ | grep -i postscreen
    and anonymize the output if and as desired.   If you anonymize, please consistenty replace the domain portion of your URL(s) to example.com, example.net and/or example.org (these are RFC-reserved bogus domains) and replace the server's host name to something else if that's more sensitive than "mail" or "www" or "server" — consistency in these changes is important — and alter any IP addresses included (other than 127.0.0.1 / localhost) to 10.20.30.40 (or some other private IP address — again, consistency in these changes is important — and then post that output here.
    Before making any changes, get a complete system backup or two, on an external disk.  That's your path back if something here goes badly wrong, weird or otherwise untoward.
    Once there are complete backups and entirely as a test / guess / experiment, I'd look to rename an existing postscreen database out of the way and see if a new cache database gets created, and would also check the file ownerships and protections of the files in that area.
    $ sudo ls -ale@ /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/
    Password:
    total 48
    drwxr-x---   5 _postfix  mail     170 Jan 30 15:20 .
    drwxr-xr-x  13 root      wheel    442 Jan 28 10:57 ..
    -rw-------   1 _postfix  mail      33 May  5 16:08 master.lock
    -rw-------   1 _postfix  mail   16384 May 24 08:22 postscreen_cache.db
    -rw-------   1 _postfix  mail    1024 May 24 10:04 prng_exch
    $
    The two files that are most interesting in the above are the . and postscreen_cache.db files.
    There is also an upgrade log around, and you'll definitely want to have a look in that — to see what (else?) went wrong here.  (Off the top, I don't recall the name of the upgrade log file.  In recent releases, it's usually something like /var/log/install.log — also check the system logs for "upgrade" messages.)

  • Me outgoing mail server not working from iPhone / Reply to email address

    Hi, I have MM sent up on my iPhone and Mac, the SMTP outgoing mail server does not work from the iPhone but does from the Mac, to get around this I changed the outgoing server on the iPhone to my optusnet outgoing server, that has been working fine, the problem I have is if someone reply's to a email from the phone it gets bounced back becuase the reply to email address for me is @mac.com not from @me.com
    I have tried to change the reply to email address in the phone but it only allows you to change the name not the @mac.com
    I have only ever had a Me account not a .Mac account so I dont know why its locked to @mac

    I deleted the MM account on the phone and reinstalled it again. Now it is working.

  • Suddenly outgoing mail server not working!

    Out of nowhere, I am all of a sudden having problems with my outgoing mail servers. Most of my email accounts are through AOL, so based on which screen name I am emailing from, the outgoing server as always been smtp.aol.com:username. But lately, when sending mail, I get the drop down "try a different outgoing mail server warning. My internet service is through Comcast, so if I change the outgoing mail server to smtp.comcast.com, the mail will send. But why has this problem popped up? Did Comcast change something? AOL? Thanks for any help anyone has!

    I have got a similar problem. Mail has never worked properly - I can receive emails but not send them, Although the data for the smtp-server is absolutely correct and so is all rest password etc. - I've also tried other ports but they didn't work either. It can't be my computer or some firewall because Entourage, the microsoft mail-programme works perfectly well. After having had constant trouble with my PC, I bought this mac 2 months ago - and now I'm having more problems. Is there anyone who can give me a hint of what to do? Thanks.

  • Adelphia outgoing mail server not working

    I have been trying for the last week or so to get my adelphia mail to send from Mail. I can receive mail no problem, but the outgoing mail server does not work. I have the settings as such:
    outgoing server: mail.adelphia.net
    server port: 587 (also tried 25)
    SSL: off
    Password: none
    The error that I get is that port 587 times out. When I switch it to port 25 I get "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
    I made sure my password is correct in keychain as well.
    When I run a tracer route to find the ISP I get " gig2-1.clmascspv-rtr1.sc.rr.com, cable6-cha.edge.aol.com, son4-1-2.rlghncrdc-rtr3.nc.rr.com " as #2, 3, 4. I have tried to use these servers, but with no success.
    Please help,

  • Apple Mail aliases, not working anymore

    Hi,
    I have a problem since upgrading to the last update of Apple Mail 5.3.
    I'm using Apple Mail with my Gmail account; and I can't anymore use my other aliases to sending an email.
    When I use an alias, it doesn't work anymore.... The recipient see the same than the principal account.
    Gmail is not the problem, because, Thunderbird, Gmail Online Client and Sparrow works correctly.
    My configurations are the same....
    Anyone to help ??
    Thanks !!

    Acivate Secondary click in the settings (click on right side). Then use right click to enter numbers. It stop duplicating digits.
    I have the same problem and attribute it bad programming. I have installed other calc widgets and had the same problem with duplicate numeral entires when using the mouse.
    It seems like upon releasing the mouse, the calculator reads another click. If you press down on the mouse and drag off of the calculator to release it does not duplicate.
    Apple just looks dumb when programming bugs like this happen and go unaddressed. Even the track pad on my MBpro does it. I even tried another wired mouse and the problem still persists.
    Good luck

  • Mac OS X 10.8.3 Mail notification NOT WORKING ANYMORE!!!...PLZ HELP

    After upgrading my os to 10.8.3 os x, my mail notification bubbles/alerts / right sie notification menu does not work....this is highly frustrating.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    More importantly, has anyone found the solution and is so kind as to offer the steps here?
    Thanks very much

    Thanks for replying so quickly pal, but I actually seemed to have solved my own problem.
    For anyone who has been having the same issue that I did, follow these steps:
    1) go to your 'contacts' app and remove your email address from your own 'card'
    (not sure if this is necessary) 2) remove apple id from user & preference profile
    Cheers
