Configure the Mail Service in Mavericks Server
Mail is one of the hardest services to manage. Actually, mail is pretty simple in and of itself: there’s protocols people use to access their mail (such as IMAP and POP), protocols used to communicate between mail servers and send mail (SMTP, SMTPS) and then there’s a database of mail and user information. In Mavericks Server, all of these are represented by a single ON button, so it really couldn’t be easier. But then there’s the ecoysystem and the evil spammers. As a systems administrator of a large number of mail servers, I firmly believe that there is a special kind of hell where only spam is served at every…

Setting Up The Mail Service in Mountain Lion Server

Changing Roundcube Max Attachment Size in Lion Server by Duong Nguyen
Thanks to Duong Nguyen for the second user-submitted post on Changing Roundcube Max Attachment Size in Lion Server! By default, Lion Server’s webmail (Roundcube) has a 5MB max attachment size. The max attachment size is read from php’s “upload_max_filesize” and “post_max_size”. We don’t need to edit php.ini because Lion Server created a .htaccess in Roundcube’s directory that overrides php.ini’s settings. Please only do this if you are comfortable with the terminal! I start by SSHing to my server as root (or you can open a root terminal). 1. # cd /usr 2. # cd share 3. # cd webmail 4. # vi .htaccess 5. Use your arrow keys to navigate…

Configuring Out of Office Messages in Lion Server
One of the more common administrative tasks for any administrator of a mail server is to work with users on enabling various rules. One such rule is the Out of Office email messages. These messages can be enabled to automatically send responses to people that send email to those accounts when a user is not going to be checking mail. These can be somewhat frustrating for people on list serves, but they are a great way to be able to step away from your email in the event that you’re, I don’t know, Out of the Office. I should learn to rely on these more when I’m on vacation, but…

Working with Postgres from the Command Line in Lion Server
Mac OS X Server 10.7, Lion Server, comes with a few substantial back-end changes. One of these is the move from SQLite3 to PostgreSQL for many of the back-end databases, including Wiki and Podcast Producer (collab), Webmail (roundcubemail), iCal Server and Address Book Server (caldav) and as the back-end to the newest service in Lion Server, Profile Manager (device_management). As such, it’s now important to be able to use PostgreSQL the way we once used SQLite3, when trying to augment the data that these databases contains, as there currently aren’t a lot of options for editing this data (aside from manually of course). Postgres has a number of commands that…
