That file is not very use friendly. Any hints? :question:

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]Setting this to require will do exactly that, require all SMTP connections to use SSL. While many remote SMTP servers will be able to handle this, I imagine you’ll run into at least a few that won’t. At which point you wouldn’t get your mail, or be able to send to anyone at that host.

The two mail servers will negotiate what they are able to do, so setting it to use won’t block non-SSL servers.[/p][/QUOTE]

What about the fact that my server uses a self-signed cert. Would that mess up incoming mail from servers that DO support SSL? I’m thinking how mail and safari both give me a “this cert is unverified” type of message?

The part where I open the 4 ports, but still can’t connect to my VPN. Mainly.

That actually gives about the same info as the firewall gui itself, plus RFC numbers. It doesn’t really explain what ports I need. For example there are at least 4 different VPN related ports. And 4 or more remote desktop related ports.

zoinks!

I take it /etc/apache2/ is the /etc/httpd/ equivalent for apache 2? Like I know thats what you just said but i mean is that a standard thing, not just for OS X ServeR?

Good news good news. I have more questions but I’ll start a new thread.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]/Library/Preferences/DirectoryServices has all of your config information.

You /should/ just be able to restore that onto the imaged drive. Ship that to the co-lo and have them boot off of that.[/p][/QUOTE]

Even if you’re going from 10.3 on the current server, to 10.4 on the new drive?

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]Yes, it’s there. No it’s not updated, and no you don’t have much control over it. However, I don’t think anything is fundamentally broken with the install.

I think for most smaller e-mail setups it’s decent. You have a sliding scale as to what to block.

At a minimum it gets everything installed for you so you can tweak the settings a bit by hand.[/p][/QUOTE]

What about the option in Server Admin that says “Update the Junk mail and virus darabase [i]n[/i] times every day”

Also
Is there any explanation anywhere about whats good to use for slider values? I plan on having the server delete mail it thinks its junk, as opposed to simply marking it as junk.

What about users? At what point in the process do I create all of the mail users (via the Workgroup Admin app)? Do I create them before I do anything else? Or do I do this part somewhere within the process?

[l008com]

That was quick.
I found this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107996

and that worked perfectly. Well it marked ALL of my emails as read, when mail.app resycned to the server, but thats no big deal and super easy to fix. So I believe I am back on track, and didn’t even need to use my backup. 😀 ( <- happy with self )

[l008com]

Great! Once I make changes, is stoping the mail service via Server Admin.app and restarting it, enough of a ‘restart’ to make my changes take effect? Also don’t worry about spam, i know exactly what I’m doing 🙂

I couldn’t disagree more. $40 routers are the most unreliable devices out there. Using one (instead of my server) would ensure countless hours of downtime, with an ever increasing frequency. In my experience, consumer routers all suck. They randomly stop working for no reason. I’ve seen it happen over and over and over, to linksys and netgear routers. I would never use anything but a computer for a router, unless i was going to spend a LOT on a real pro quality router. But why spend the money when I have a server that can just as easily route. The one killer is portmappings, but I’d rather not have port mappings on my network, than trust my internet connection to a cheap unreliable $40 router.

[l008com]

Hmmm is there a place i can get more info on this serveradmin thing you speak of?

[l008com]

Yeah quotas were on, but they when you set them in workgroup manager, they don’t “stick”. But I was able to easily set them with webmin and now they work fine. Thanks. I posted on the apple forum too, maybe they’ll fix this bug soon.

You guys have the worst forum ever, it drives me nuts! Every time i load a page I am automatically a guest, and I have to reload to magically become logged in, then i click on another page, for instance the page to reply, and i’m logged out again, and again have to try and reload to ‘become’ logged in.

ANYWAY
That what I did to test it, logged in through afp. I checked the System : Quotas page in server admin, and I also have checked in webmin. Quota’s are turned on, but despite what I enter into workgroup manager, every user still has a quota of 0, or in other words, unlimited.
