Well, as a cost saving measure and because we really weren’t using more than one, we’ve cut back to a single IP address. Time Warner Cable is the biz Internet provider. They’ve been very helpful in setting up reverse DNS lookups and PTR records, but at the same time the transfer to the new IP […]
So here I am running my own server — for almost 2 years now. It’s been a real learning experience and I’ve tried to share. My latest add-on has been fail2ban. I got tired of looking into my logs and seeing where script kiddies or bots were trying to take control of my server. Fortunately, […]
I run my own mail server on OS X Server. For the most part I have my SpamAssassin settings tweaked pretty well. Unfortunately, there is some spam that seems to have malformed or incomplete MIME boundaries and these messages don’t seem to be getting passed off from Amavisd to SpamAssassin. As such, they seem to […]
OK, I’m fortunate or crazy enough to run my own server using Apple’s OS X Leopard Server software. It has been, at times, very simple and very complex to set everything up. One of the options that I use is the iCal Server so that I can have shared calendars. Once I got it up […]
I’m just coming down out of the Jobs RDF. I’m wondering, will there be some OS X Server equivalent to the new .Mac service - MobileMe?
I’d love to be able to deploy push email and push calendar to my users.
I’ve previously written about problems with Leopard server and forwarding of virtual hosted domain email. My solution was somewhat inelegant and errors were written into the mail.log. Since that time I’ve found a solution that works and generates no errors. It also has the added benefit of being entirely within Server Admin.
Here’s what to do.
In […]
Yeah, I did something stupid and had to reinstall my server OS — again. I thought I’d be OK but my mail backup was about a day old. I’ve used mailbfr before and it worked great but this time I kept getting errors. It seemed that mailbfr wasn’t copying over the skipstamp file.
What I did […]
Due to unforeseen circumstances I accidentally trashed my server installation. Don’t ask me for details but I think I accidentally unloaded all my launch daemons. I figured no big deal just restart the machine and everything’s fine. Not so fine.
I restart and my mail server doesn’t seem to be working correctly.
Several reinstalls later and I […]
OK, my problem with my webmail and my Thunderbird user are fixed. Here’s what happened. When I was setting up my server install with the AppleCare rep on the phone he said to check CRAM-MD5 and Plain for authentication. This inside of Server Admin.
It turns out that the default authentication method for SquirrelMail is login […]
Peter Sichel of Sustainable Softworks is a genius. Seriously. He’s not only just updated his USB to Ethernet Adapters for Mac OS X to work with the recently released Apple-branded USB Ethernet adapter, but he sent me a comment letting me know.
I’ve just installed the USBAx8817x 1.0.3b10 release and it seems to be working.
Peter emailed […]
