I’m still struggling to migrate from 10.1S to 10.2S. I’ve decided to begin with a fresh installation of 10.2 Server and then install the specialized applications (like mailman and postfix) one at a time on the virgin box.
Here’s the problem: for some reason, I can’t get my MTA to work on the new box. I tried Postfix, which I finally got working on my 10.1 Server a few months ago, but had no luck on the new 10.2 server… so instead I thought “hey, I’d like to allow SMTP AUTH anyhow, and that looks easier with EXIM, so I’ll just give up on Postfix and switch MTA’s while I’m switching servers.”
I erased the hard drive, reinstalled 10.2, and then downloaded and used Joel’s EXIM installer, which seems to have worked well (it was certainly easy!). When I launched Server Settings to change the Mail to montior port 627 instead of 25 I was surprised to see it was already set that way. Hmm… maybe the installer did that too… I dunno.
Anyhow, I rebooted the machine so that the StartupItem could launch Exim and tried to use the mail. No luck. It rejects all incoming and outgoing mail with “Temporary errors”. I’ll get the exact message tonight when I’m back on the box.
I love OSX Server, I hate Apple’s documenation / support. If it wasn’t for the kindness of other Mac users, I’d never have gotten this far…. <sigh>
I used your command line trick in the terminal, and it appears that Exim is running okay.
However, whenever I try to send email (in this case, using the webmail system)… I get this error message:
Server replied: 451 Temporary local problem – please try later
I opened Server Status and clicked the LOG tab for mail, this is a snippet from the log, if it’s helpful:

(this is what happens when I try to send mail and have the terminal up with Exim running in debug mode):

I’m having a few niggling issues, but it’s essentially working now. Thanks!
I wonder sometimes if my software requires extra configuration and effort because the reverse DNS on my server’s IP doesn’t resolve the way I would like, and I can’t seem to talk my ISP into changing it….
Anyhow it’s looking good. If I can get mailman working again (with Exim now instead of Postfix), I should be ready to go live with 10.2 server and drop 10.1 forever. Woohoo. (which is good since I’ve already sold my 10.1 license on eBay assuming I’d not need it anymore– uh oh, better get to 10.2 quick)
