Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Afternoon All,
I have managed to set up my server to receive incoming mail but do not seem to be able to send any mail, I am hoping that someone on here may have come across the same problem.
My domain is registered with 123-reg.co.uk
My ISP is Virgin Media
Thanks in advance for the help.
iPhone 5, iOS 6
OK. Go look at the mail log. Is there anything there denoting a connection attempt and/or rejection? Are you sure you're addressing the message correctly? Is it a valid user who has email turned on? If the connection doctor is telling you that the connection is good, the issue is the addressing - either the user or the domain. Make sure that the domain you are sending to is properly showing in the "Provide Mail to" field of Server.app.
This is what I got from the log
Nov 14 21:25:04 domain.me postfix/smtpd[18848]: connect from cpc4-sotn9-2-0- cust70.15-1.cable.virginmedia.com[external ip]
Nov 14 21:25:04 domain.me postfix/smtpd[18848]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from cpc4-sotn9-2-0- cust70.15-1.cable.virginmedia.com[external ip]: 554 5.7.1 <andy@domain1.co.uk>: Relay access denied; from=<maria@domain.me> to=<andy@domain1.co.uk> proto=ESMTP helo=<[10.0.1.42]> Nov 14 21:25:04 domain.me postfix/smtpd[18848]: disconnect from cpc4-sotn9-2-0- cust70.15-1.cable.virginmedia.com[82.6.250.71]
Right, this means "andy@domain1.co.uk" is not a valid address on the server. Either the user doesn't exist, or, more likely, you don't have domain1.co.uk as the domain for the server. Again, check the "Provide Mail For" field of the Mail component of Server.app.
Andy@domain1.co.uk is an email address that I have hosted with a provider?
Lets back up. Is "maria" a valid user on the server? i.e. when you configure Mail.app to authenticate to the server, that is the user that you authenticate as? Is "andy" supposed to be a user on the same server? What is the domain of the server? (please don't obsfuscate)
If you want "andy" to receive mail, and it is *not* an account on your OS X Server, it needs to be created on the other server (the server at domain1.co.uk)
maria@hiscock.me is a user on the OS X Server, it can receive mail but can not send.
andy@able2pass.co.uk is an email address I have with a provider and has no connection to the OS X Server it can send and receive mail with out problems
When you say "configured the server....", do you mean setting up mail service on a standard OS X Server installation via Server.app, or did you modify the configuration files yourself?
Also, try sending a message to an email address not on virgin. What happens?
I just had a look through the messages and can not see where I mentioned configured the server but the way I set up the server is as follows:
1. Set up my DNS with my domain provider (123-reg)
2. Ran the set up wizard for the server followed all steps, with no issues.
3. Set up all the port forwarding.
4. Set up user in the server.
5. Switched on Mail in the server (did not make any changes).
6. Set up the user on Mail on my MacBook Air
I first tried sending an email to the new set up address = no problems, then tried sending a message which is where I am now.
When I spoke to Apple the guy had me send a message from the address to itself and this worked no problem (maria@hiscock.me to maria@hiscock.me) seem to be a problem when going out to the real world.
the andy@able2pass.co.uk is not a virgin email address it is hosted with a company that currently hosts my business website.
This is still not resolved anyone else got any suggestions?
