VirtualHost email setup without users

Hi folks.
I have a 10.5.8 server with one main domain and a handful of VirtualHosts. A new VH (example.com) doesn't have any "users" per se, because it's just for hosting web and email. How can I set up email accounts? I don't mind using the terminal and entering aliases into the /etc/postfix/virtual file.
Do I have to create users on the box for this? The admin account on the box is a fake user to begin with.
I have looked at the docs and it seems that I have to create users somewhere for them to show up in the Workgroup Manager. That seems a bit much considering this is only used for email and web. So I thought I would ask here.
I'd move to a new server, but it's expensive for a small company and the upgrade path hasn't been cheap.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Doesn't seem reasonable. Oh well.

Email setup problems - user name error

Hello,
This afternoon, I was handed a blackberry for the first time by my work. It had previously been someone elses but was wiped. I am having problems trying to get it to set up my emails. Here's what is happening:
Click on Setup Wizard
Click on Email Setup
Select 'I want to create or add an email address'. Click Next.
Get a message saying 'After you click Next, the Blackberry Internet Service setup application opens.' Click Next
The screen says 'Existing users - If you want to access your email settings or you changed your device, log in.'
It then asks me to enter my user name and password. I put in the user name and password that I registered on the Blackberry ID website earlier today, and it gives me an error saying: 'Blank User Name. Type a valid user name.'
I have tried several times now, tried turning the phone on and off, but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It may be that you have an older device, older OS, and older email configuration app. As such, BIS is likely not linked to the BB ID (that's a newer capability). Rather, you need the actual BIS credentials that are associated with that BB...the BIS service is linked to the BB PIN, and that linkage is at the service provider side, so wiping the device itself does nothing concerning the BIS account credentials. You either need those or you need the carrier to reset the BIS account.
As a company BB, you should probably seek support from your admins...it is also possible that they are blocking the use of personal email accounts on the company owned BBs.
Good luck and let us know!

How can I reduce the amount of user prompts for Email setup in Apple Configurator?

I am working on deploying profiles via Apple's new Apple Configurator which allows me to install apps and settings exactly how I want them. My question pertains to the email setup where anything left blank in the payload gets prompted on the device for user input. Is there anyway to have the user only enter in their user name and password once and use that for the SMTP outgoing settings as well? I'd like to reduce the user interaction to a minimal.Currently they enter in their full name, email address, user name for incoming, password for incoming, and then user name AGAIN for outgoing (I checked the box for 'Outgoing password same as incoming'). Is there anyway to retain the username and avoid having the user enter it in twice?
If not, I can make do with how it is, but was rather curious if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try this again starting it as new, but when I restored it before (after deleting all the apps and music off it) it didn't help. Thanks for the suggestion!

New mailbox setup without nokia email

Hi,
I’ve just bought a Nokia 5230 and I want to use the mailbox from messaging menu.
When I select “create new mailbox” the Nokia Email Setup wizard starts and it begins the download of Nokia Email.
I don’t want to use Nokia Email Setup; I just want to configure manually e-mail settings.
How do I do that? How can I disable the Nokia Email Setup?
Thank you
Solved!

Username for email setup

Hey,
I've had my torch for a little over a year now and when I first set up my emails, everything worked perfectly fine with it, but now it won't let me recieve emails to my phone at all from my gmail account. My first problem was that I needed a password as I thought I knew my username, so I went on blackberry's website and changed my password. My problem now is that it still won't allow to use my setup and says the combination is wrong, which means my username is wrong. On the blackberry website it says my username is my email address and when i try to change it to a normal username, it says that it has to be an email address. But on my blackberry torch when i try to put in my email address as my username in my email setup it tells me that 'the username is invalid. A user name must be at least 4 characters' and I found out that it's the @ sign which makes it invalid.
How can I find what my username is, or change it so that I can restart my email or at least check that it works, because i cannot send emails either as it says that the account is in invalid mode.
Also, my wifi hasn't picked up any wifis at all, even though it used to. Is there anywhere I can turn it on or anywhere where I could possibly have something turned off without knowing it? It's very frustrating when it doesn't find any networks, when I'm standing right next to a perfectly working router.
Thanks,
Penny

You can always try going to your carrier's self-serve BIS site to set up email addresses on your phone (your carrier will help you with it along the way) or you can type www.blackberry.com/integrate from your phone's browser.
I hope that helps you.

Email Setup Option Missing

Hi All -
I am in UK.
I am the proud owner of an iphone, sorry I don't want the knives thrown. I have bought my daugter ( refering to as me for the rest of the topic) the BB Curve 8900 at her request against my better judgement, without any disrespect to Blackberry users, each to their own. I am use to things working out of the box or just a simple restore to factory and away you go. There seems to be very little about how to maniplulate the Blackberry to the Users requirements. Considering I own it! I should be able to do with it as I please. I am very computer litterate so what you throw at me in solutions, dont worry about the lingo. That's it my rant and rave due to frustration is over, any assistance would be greatfully apreciated.
My BB Curve 8900 badged as T-Mobile and unlocked. Not sure on software but when I checked on line is was up to date.
Bought brand new from a work colleague so no problems there.
I am on vodafone with data plan. The internet on my BB works fine and I can browse no problems. I have phoned Vodafone customer services and got a feeling that 'ar*e and elbow come to mind'. They said can you get the internet, I said yes, they said so what's the problem!
On the setup email, I only have an option to join an exchange type server. My friend has the exact phone but bought on contract from Vodafone, she has 'mobile email setup' . I have looked through the internet and found the 'setup email help', as I have said I don't get any option other than joining a VPN type email.
So please help me. what can I do, wipe it clean, re-install the software, my last hope would be to go to our local Vodafone shop and I get a feeling the my previous comment would come back in to play.
Thank you for reading my ramblings.
Regards and respect to you all.
Tony

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
Further, since this is a second hand device, you should read this and ensure that the prior owner fully conducted all steps in the Seller section...if not, then your carrier will never be able to register a BIS account to the BB.
Good luck!

Password RESET for accessing BB email setup

Hi there, I have lost a password for accessing setting up email , I need to reset it please what happened I have found this opt on BB email setup to connect to a PC to setup email rather than a handset, I said OK, I set up a user word and password, now I forgot the password, which means I can't enter setup for my email on the handset I need urgent help please Warmly, Michael PS my email: <removed>
MOD EDIT: Removed personal information to comply with Community Guidelines and Terms and Conditions of Use.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I cannot tell for sure from your description which of these applies to you...
If this is your independent BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) credentials, then you simply need to ring up your mobile service provider as they manage your BIS account for you.
But, if your provider has merged (as they all are doing) your BIS credentials into your BlackBerry ID account, then your challenge is greater. Start first with these please:
KB28685 How to reset the BlackBerry ID password using the password recovery question
KB24157 BlackBerry ID lockout behavior
KB32111 "The link is no longer valid." is encountered when attempting to reset a BlackBerry ID password
KB26361 How to change or reset the BlackBerry ID password
KB28111 Unable to reset BlackBerry ID password when using a BlackBerry hosted email address
KB28232 BlackBerry ID reset email is not being delivered to the associated mailbox
If you have forgotten your BB ID credentials AND have non-BB access (e.g., Outlook, webmail, etc.) to the email account that is currently configured to your BB ID account, then those instructions should allow you to recover access to your BB ID account, even without the password or recovery question (please read them all carefully to find the section that applies to you).
As a last automated resort, and only if you have the original email you received when you originally created your BBID (it cannot be regenerated), then it should contain a link to actually now destroy your BBID. Then, you create a new BBID, but using the exact same credentials (username, email address), and it is supposed to relink all of your prior BBWorld records (purchases, downloads) and allow you to continue on.
However, if you do not have access to that email account, or if you never properly validated your BBID account, then your challenge is much greater, and you have a choice to make depending on your circumstances:
If you have no AppWorld records, BBM Contacts, etc. that you require to retain (e.g., purchase records for apps), then simply abandon the BB ID and create a new one. To do so, however, does require a device WIPE:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
But, if you do have AppWorld records, BBM Contacts, etc. that you must keep, then you require human intervention. To receive that, you must ring up your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. Further, you must convince BlackBerry to provide you with a solution -- which likely will either be resetting your current BB ID so that you can again access it or having you create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase records over. Note that I have no idea if they will be willing to do this, but there is no other way that I know of to retain your prior AppWorld purchase records.
Good luck!

Unable to send email to the users from Project Server Workflow

Hello all,
I am facing issues in sending emails to the users from the workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013.
I am trying to send emails to valid users in a Project server 2013 Workflow by Email action.
I have set up the SMTP server successfully, I have configured SMTP server successfully in IIS manager 6.0
I have configured the outgoing e-mail settings in Central Administration successfully,
I have configured the SMTP email settings for my web app in IIS manager as well.
I have configured and synced the User Profile App with the eMail addresses from Active Directory as well.
I have configured the Alerts and Reminders in Operational Policies of PWA settings as well.
I can send the emails to the users successfully through Powershell.
But when I am trying to Start a Task Process with a user in the workflow, the task process starts but it never sent an email notification. So I tested by using the Action Email, that also the user is unable to receive any email. But the Workflow is not giving
any error also. The email sending is successful, but the user is unable to receive it. The workflow succeeds to next phase without any errors.
So to cross verify I tried 'Alert Me' option on a list, but that also is not sending(or might be sending but the user is not receiving) the mail.
What else should I do to solve this issue.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Shanky

Hello Paul,
I tried editing the PWA instance as you said, but that also didn't help :(
I even restarted the Project Server Service, but nothing is changed.
I tried creating a new workflow for a List and used send email there, but that also is not sending the mail :(
How do I check where the issue is from ? I mean, whether the workflow is sending the mail and the mail server is not receiving? or whether the workflow is not sending the mail itself? how do I check this? Is there any way to log these details?
Please help me regarding this issue, I am totally clueless how to proceed.
Thanks,
shanky

Generate a Report Dynamically without User Intervention and Output to XML

Here's the scenario for which I am trying to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a series of reports that the users generate from a UI by selecting the report, setting the values for a list of parameters, and then click a submit button. The report is generated in the UI for them to view. They can print it from here or export it to Excel.
They would like to be able to schedule a report to run daily without user intervention using a saved set of parameters. The system would run the report automatically and email it to a defined set of email addresses.
To do this, we need to have the report generated in a string or xml so a Java process can read it and email it.
I see that I can change a report's template to export:xml so I feel that it is possible. How can I export a report to XML without user intervention? Can the report template be changd dynamically at runtime? Ideally, I need some way to call this same report and have it output as a string data or xml to be used by a Java process that would store and generate the report for email.

Hi Kumar,
From Program1 you are calling Program2, using submit syntax (inside Program1).
While using submit, if you have correctly filled up the selection screen of program2, then it will AUTOMATICALLY get executed, WITHOUT F8.
If there is any compulsary field in program 2, which does not get populated, then it will not run automatically, or unless some special code is written in program2.
If you do not want the output of Program2 on screen, then u can use
SUBMIT Program2 AND RETURN.
In that case, no selection screen (of program2) will appear and neither the output of program 2.
Regards,
Amit Mittal.

Help with sending emails to multiple users.

Currently we have a process to send mail to muliple users by looping through the list of users and sending each individual an email
<Action id='1' name='sendEmail' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='notify'/>
<Argument name='template' value='$(template)'/>
<Argument name='toUser' value='$(tuser)'/>
<Argument name='catch' value='notificationException'/>
</Action>
The variable tuser contains a single email address.
Is there any way to setup tuser to contain multiple email addresses?
I have tried passing a list and a string separated by colons (ex: <s>[email protected]; [email protected]</s>) and neither one works.
Question 2
Is it a bad idea to try and send email to up to 50000 users at once using IDM? Besides the fact that I would need to search for specific users and get their email addresses based on their capabilities.

Hi,
For sending emails to multiple users, use to instead of toUser. Put the names in comma seperated values
<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='notify'/>
<Argument name='template' value='$(template)'/>
<Argument name='to' value='$(to)'/>
<Argument name='cc' value='$(cc)'/>
<Argument name='catch' value='notificationException'/>
</Action>
You can use IDM to send emails.
it will be a good idea to break down the email that you are sending into groups/batches. If possible, you can send email to DL s
Else, you can segregate the users based on roles and send emails. This will reduce the load. Hope it helps
Regards
Arjun

Setup Multi-users on new Intel Mac Mini

Hello all
I am an XP PC user investigating whether to purchase a new Intel based Dual core Mac Mini.
Can someone help with the following questions please.
1) I have a family using our current XP based PC and each has their own user login.
Can I setup multiple users on the Mac Mini so they would each have their own login ?
2) I would like my wife to have her own email account as well as me.
Can this also be setup on the new Mac Mini ?
Thanks in advance.
James

Hi Jamesatalveston,
To clear things up a little for you:
1) Yes you can setup individual logins - as many as you need in fact. Each seperate account has its own "directory" on the hard drive which is safe and secure to stop any prying eyes. You can also customize it just like you would Windows XP however there are tons of extra features to hand. You can set parental controls with the click of a button and you can even prevent the kids / teens from messing up the configurations by restricting what they can access through their user areas.
2) OS X Boasts Mail which is Apples tidier equivelant to Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express if you like. It can handle multiple accounts with different service providers just so long as you have the POP and SMTP addresses for your providers email server, and your email address and password to hand.
If you only have one email account between the two of you and you feel that you can work well with it, then you can effectively direct emails to one another by creating "Smart Mailboxes" which split any incoming emails to that one address, into criteria organised folders i.e. one with emails related to you, one with emails related to your wife.
Hope that I may have been of extra help

Email Setup Application version 6.11.0324.1701 ERROR

Hi,
I need some urgent help. I recently updated to OS6. Since the update, I have been trying to add an email account to my BB but whenever I try to open the setup app, it advises to update Email Setup Application 6.11.0324.1701. There is a major bug in this update.
When I click cancel, I cannot access the setup. When I click ok, the error "com.rim.bis.client" contains a different version of module "net_rim_bis_client" which is also used by "Email Setup Application". If you proceed, "Email Setup Application" may cease to function properly. Proceed? When I click no, the entire download is cancelled and I cant access the setup. When I click yes, the unit doesnt boot and I have to reload the OS.
The update I refer to can be found at http://vodamy.blackberry.com/rest/updates/tc/6.0/6.11.0324.1701/net_rim_bis_client_en.jad
I have tried all sorts of workarounds from turning my connections off to updating via the web; all with the same frustrating result. FOR ALL USERS, DO NOT UPDATE TO OS6 UNTIL ISSUE IS FIXED.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue or does anyone have a contact in RIM that can sort this issue out ASAP?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

also having the same problem. can't send e-mails, can't use bbm - what a brick!
this is seriously annoying when is this going to be fixed????

I want to receive all emails a specific user sends and receives

Hello,
I am a SysAdmin of a medium-sized company, and for different reasons, I would like to configure/implement what the title says.
I would like to receive all the emails a specific user sends and receives without him noticing (even the ones he is CC'ed).
Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?
Note: we are running Exchange 2010.
Thanks in advance.

Note that the CAL requirement is stated clearly in the link I sent:
Standard journaling Standard journaling is configured on a mailbox database. It enables the Journaling agent to journal all messages sent to and from mailboxes located on a specific mailbox database. To journal all messages
to and from all recipients and senders, you must configure journaling on all mailbox databases on all Mailbox servers in the organization.
Premium journaling Premium journaling enables the Journaling agent to perform more granular journaling by using journal rules. Instead of journaling all mailboxes residing on a mailbox database, you can configure journal
rules to match your organization's needs by journaling individual recipients or members of distribution groups.
You must have an Exchange Enterprise client access license (CAL) to use premium journaling.

Email setup asking for Username and Password.

I recently backed up my phone on my computer and ever since I did, it's like all of my personal settings were deleted as well. For instance, I had to fix my all of my profiles sounds after backing up, and I went to my Blackberry Appworld, scrolled over to My Appworld and it says 'no downloads' and I have downloaded a lot of applications. That's not really a problem for me, as long as I get messages when updates come out for the apps...? Now, I am trying to setup another email address and when going to 'email setup wizard', I am being prompted for a Username and Password. I don't remember ever making a username or password for email setup, but was able to firgure out I could put my PIN in for my password to be sent, which it was. BUT I still do not know what my username is, and I've tried my email addresses with and without what's after the @ and still no luck. Could somebody please help me resolve this problem?

You must have done something more than just a simple backup -- a backup does not change device settings or preferences or write anything to the handheld.
As far as the email setup, it should not be your email address, it's whatever you created, perhaps the first part of your email, the part before the @ ?
but you must know it to proceed. Or, call your carrier and ask to have the BIS account reset (basically they shoudl delete it and recreate it for you).
