Service Mail in Mac OS X SERVER - EL CAPITAN

In Mac Os X Server for El Capitan is still possible to obtain automatic copy of all mail?

Until version 10.6 there was a voice in mail settings “Copy all mail to: “…

I want automatic copy of all messages that are received and sent through service Mail of Mac Os X Server.

I want all copies of the messages from and to all accounts, being saved in one account chosen by me...

So I'll obtain an archive of all messages (in and out).

Many thanks for answer and ideas...

Best regards.

Mac Pro, OS X Server, El Capitan + app "OS X Server"

Ah, good old serveradmin got stuck again ;-) Unfortunately this still happens in 2016.


You'll need to do some config file editing...


Edit (using terminal or a text editor):


/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf


and remove the line that starts with:


always_bcc =


(it is probably at the very bottom).


Then try the serveradmin commands again. If it still doesn't work, you can manually change it to


always_bcc = yes


I would however try with serveradmin again first. This is important to keep your configuration in sync and avoid things being overwritten.

No line present with always_bc =

in main.cf


I have used vim to add the line:

always_bcc = yes

Now the command

sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:always_bcc_enabled = yes

seems to work. After few seconds, Terminal answer

mail:postfix:always_bcc_enabled = yes

BUT IF I SEND A MAIL FROM A CLIENT CONNECTED TO THE OS X SERVER, NO COPY OF THIS MAIL GOES AUTOMATICALLY TO THE ADRESS I HAVE WROTE IN LINE

sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:postmaster_address = "myaddress@mydomain.tld"

I WANT A COPY OF THE MAIL OUTGOING THROUGH THE MAC OS X SERVER.

HELP! MANY THANKS!!!

Sorry, my bad. Once you mix serveradmin commands and manual editing things get messy and I forgot a step.


Try this:

Edit (using terminal or a text editor):


/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf


and change the line that starts with:


always_bcc =


to


always_bcc = myemailaddress@mydomain.tld


Now it should show:


mail:postfix:always_bcc_enabled = yes


and also work.

Wonderful! You are great!

Many thanks and ... a new problem to solve! 😉

Same machine, same Mac Os X server.

File Sharing...

I have created a folder and it is now public both for SMB and AFP.

From others Mac with El Capitan is all OK .

But on Mac with OS X 10.6.8 it is possible to reach server only with SMB and not with AFP.

Server appears in the column at the left of all windows in Finder, but in case of click on its image no connection is possible.

Also menu "Go->connection to server..." works only with smb://ipaddress and not with afp://ipaddress.

The AFP protocol of Mac Os X Server in El Capitan is not more compatible with OS X 10.6.8???

The folder on server is with guest access (and everybody can read & write).

I hope in your great help!!!

See you later!
