How to setup email server on Mac os x? - macos

I need to sent many e-mail for advertising.
I can use the command 'mail' to send plain text e-mail,but can't send html e-mail.
Is there such a software(for mac) which can send html e-mail through the mail server built on Mac os x?

you can try using apache James, its a fully functional email server, very easy to setup (as simple as unzip & run). ofcourse you need to have java installed first.
here is a link to the apache james site.
you can download the current stable version of the james server from here

Bugzilla Installation + Windows 7 + sendmail

We have installed a Bugzila 4.0 on Windows 7 Local Machine. After the installation we are not able to create any New Account as the New Account sends a email to the email id being provided for the user. So we installed Sendmail for Windows and configured bugzilla to use Sendmail for sending mails via bugzilla. Now whenever we are trying to send emails via bugzilla on new account creation we are getting below mentioned error:
"error when closing pipe to /usr/lib/sendmail.exe: Inappropriate I/O control operation"
Request you to please guide us if we are missing any configuration on Bugzilla or if there is any other workaround to send mail via bugzilla on local machine.
Thanks in Advance.

Are you using http://www.glob.com.au/sendmail/ ?
If answer is yes, I think you should also download and install: https://metacpan.org/pod/App::TLSMe
Try to run your checksetup.pl to see if need any other prerequisite.

Xcode Bots - Email via AWS SES

I'm trying to setup our Mac Mini running OS X Server to send emails when Xcode Bots fail.
I've so far followed these guides to the letter:

http://www.anujgakhar.com/2011/12/09/using-macosx-lion-command-line-mail-with-gmail-as-smtp/
This StackOverflow question says that he was able to get AWS SES to work with Mac OS X Server, so it's possible.
Anyone done it and can give me any pointers?
In the end I gave up and used Mutt. Setting up Postfix is a bitch. Mutt is awesome! It works great for solving this issue.
You can install it via Homebrew (\o/). Here's a guide for setting it up and using it. You can simply invoke mutt from your Xcode Bot triggers.
To use with AWS SES just make SES SMTP credentials in the AWS console and enter these in to the ~/.muttrc file.

Xcode Bots not sending email on success/failure

I setup Xcode Bots, which is working successfully. However, despite setting email addresses to get notified when a build is successful or it fails, I do not receive any emails. Is there any additional SMTP setup I need to do hidden somewhere?
You probably need to configure the Mac OSX Server for sending e-mail.
The local server is located in the Server application under "Mail" in the left sidebar.
I recently changed to using Amazon SES and had to edit the Postfix SASL configuration manually. Edit SASL password file, run postmap, enable SASL/TLS in main.cf configuration file and finally restart Postfix.
This detailed description by Rojas helped me:

I recently was tasked with doing the same thing, setting up OSX Server for sending e-mail. What worked for me was setting up the postfix configuration manually as well but the link in the previous answer wasn't effective for me. what was effective was following this tutorial
http://blog.anupamsg.me/2012/02/14/enabling-postfix-for-outbound-relay-via-gmail-on-os-x-lion-11/
and there's also a follow up that shows details to what needs to change to get it to work on Mavericks and newer http://blog.anupamsg.me/2013/12/22/enabling-postfix-on-osx-as-a-relay-revisited/

SVN to send emails on commit on Ubuntu 12 server

I need to set up an svn repos to send out emails after every single commit to a single email address.
There seem to be a few built packages out there that achieve this, but then some forum posts and the svn manual say I just need a simple post commit email hook:
http://www.stackoverflow.com/questions/147924/anyone-have-commit-notification-hook-script-that-will-send-email-upon-commit-of#answer-147963
The script in this post is RUBY. Does this mean I need Ruby?
Also on my Ubuntu server I am running sSMTP not a full blown SMTP server, will this matter or will this automatically be picked up as it is with PHP?
Thanks,
John

Email Server for Bugzilla on Windows

I have Bugzilla 4.0 installed on my Windows machine but I haven't been able to get an email server to work. Does anyone know what the easiest way is to get the email server work?
I found NTsendmail and I have that in my perl/lib directory but I'm not entirely sure how to configure bugzilla to use it.
Is there someway I could use the gmail smtp server?
Cheers,
Steiny
Starting with Bugzilla 4.4, Gmail SMTP is supported natively, but a patch can be applied for Bugzilla 4.2 or previous versions.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Windows_Gmail
Personally, I am very happy with hMailServer on Windows. I'm using it on all of our public web servers to send out e-mails from my ASP.NET applications.
