ummmm unless I missed something, that page is all about apache and web hosting in general, and not at all about mail servers?

The problem is the Network Image Utility crashed when I try to make an image on my G5. But as far as image writability I’ve used the NIU to run .pkg installers to upgrade to 10.3.6, but how do you run non apple installers, like programs that use installer vice? and then programs that need you to enter their serial number the first time you install them. And just simple stuff like setting your dock and system preferences, how do you do all that on an image?

MacTroll: Any other ideas? How I can get all my lost mail out of this .tar i’ve got?

Well, I tried installing 10.2Server on another machine, and loading my mail database into it. It didn’t seem to work, some users didn’t work, the ones that did, had the wrong mail user. The only thing I came up with there is that the mail server goes by user # not name, so some were lined up with wrong ones, and some weren’t lined up with anything. But none of that matters because it seemed to only show me mail from before I migrated to 10.3 anyway, so I still need to find some other way to access this mail store. I don’t understand how my 10.3 Install was using this folder in the first place? Its totally not in the default location, and and I customize the mail store location, this folder of mine seems to be in the wrong format 🙁

But thats the thing. This isn’t a 10.2 Database. It was originally, but when I first upgraded to 10.3, I ran the migration tool on it, and this DB was running for months under 10.3. So for example when I run the migration tool now, nothing happens. And I’m not sure that if I throw this DB into 10.2, it would be able to read it either?

OK I guess I’ll have to block all mail from this site then.

OK its starting to get rediculous, i’m getting notifications every day for threads I have never seen before. Even brand new threads? And the forum keeps booting me out when I try to log in. Something is very wrong, but please at least tell me how I can get this thing to stop sending me emails!!!

Hmmmm that file is a plist in xml format. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to add my rules to it? My rules are in the normal format you use when making a standard .conf file,

redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.2:6881-6999 6881-6999

Also, this is there an order to the way the rules are applied? For instance, I want to add a group of rules to be processed first. Then I want a rule thats applied last, kind of like a catch all, that would essentially create a DMZ host. So if the rules are applied from top to bottom, then I’d want the last rule to be something like:

redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.3:1-65535 1-65535

Where can I find this migration information? I haven’t seen it anywhere before.

I ended up having both postfix and AMS relay through my ISP’s mail server because thanks to the scum bag cable companies, emails I were sending were disappearing, especially to AOL people. I tried using just postfix for a while, but I need SMTP Authentication so I can send mail from my server from outside of my house. And setting up SMTP Auth in anything other than OS X Server is a major major production. But relaying through my ISP means that all mail goes out then comes back in, so everything gets sorted right, and I can send mail to aol users, all my great scripts can send emails, and everything works great. So great, I’m afraid to upgrade to 10.3 because I don’t wanna mess anything up. I have a lot of email accounts.

I did the same thing for the same reason. No need to modify anything that talks to sendmail. And it sorta works. Now my PHPs can send emails out to the world. But local emails go to /var/mail, and I’m running AppleMailServer, and it doesn’t pick up the mail in that folder. I am still using AMS for SMTP along with POP, I just want postfix to deliver mail from PHP. The strange thing is that, with sendmail, I couldn’t send mail out to the world, but I got local mail no problem, now its the opposite. But I’m told that both programs work the same, when you recieve an email, it just dumps it into /var/mail. So how come postfix’s emails are ignore and sendmail’s somehow made it into AMS? When you tell AMS to use an external SMTP server, it will pick up all the mail in the /var/mail directory. I’m so close but I can’t figure out what holding me back? I wanna still use AMS for non php mail because I’m a Mac user and I’ll take a GUI over a command line anyday.
