XMail Server on Mac OSX, How to install ...

No prob ....

Just add those

if [ "${MAILSERVER:= ....

constructs to startservice() and restartservice() and you are ready to go. The Postfix folder must not be restored then.

Thank you so much for your time and effort. Xmail is working, but It is still rejecting the password. The following is what I have done, maybe you can see the errors

[Franklyn-D-Barnetts-Computer:/var/MailRoot/domains] franklyn% telnet fdbarnett.com 25

Trying 10.0.1.3...
Connected to fdbarnett.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 <1094578938.8513536@fdbarnett.com> [XMail 1.20 ESMTP Server] service ready; Tue, 7 Sep 2004 12:42:18 -0500

Connection closed by foreign host.

[Franklyn-D-Barnetts-Computer:/var/MailRoot/bin] root# ./CtrlClnt -s fdbarnett.com -u franklyn -p xxxxx useradd fdbarnett.com info password U

Another thing where is the mail located when you receive it?

Thanks again.

Franklyn.

Which password is not accepted ?

I can't see any mistake in your input. Just make sure that your user's password is not encrypted when you pass it via command line.

Doing a
# cat MailRoot/mailusers.tab
... should list the new user's record with the encoded password.

Received mails are stored in MailRoot/domains/domainname/username/MailDir/new

When I try to connet from my Mac Mail Client XMail Server rejects the password.

T set the account up on the mail client Server. User name Password

Thanks.

Franklyn.

I cannot
telnet fdbarnett.com 25
.. can you ?

Check your firewall settings. Also on your router.

I am able to telent at port 25. I also would like to know should I connect the Mail client through the root directory as the system Administer?

Thanks.

Franklyn

No. Did you also open port 25 and 110 on your client machine ?

I have seem to solve the paswoed problem. Now I get the following error message

I can send and receive within my domain.

Thanks

Franklyn.

The problem is, that you are not reachable from the internet.
Telnetting to
fdbarnett.com 25
.. results in 'no connection' from my location. It might be reachable from your LAN, but not from the internet.

So please test your XMail machine's firewall and also your router's firewall if port 25 is open.

Could you try telenet port 25?

Thanks

Franklyn

Port 25 is still not open. Try yourself:
http://dnstools.com/?checkp=on&portNum=25&...submit=Get+Info

BTW: The IP you use is in a private address range. This will cause trouble later on, when you want to receive mails from others.

Is there a way to make my IP address public?

Thanks.

Franklyn

No, obtain an address of another address range or use a router with NAT enabled. See http://www.jpsdomain.org/networking/nat.html for details.

I do not know what I did. I try so many things but it seem like port 25 is now open. I try it from the link you sent me.

Thank you so very much for all your help. I am a total novice with using Unix Just tried it because I am a Mac user.

Again many thanks.

Franklyn.
