Re: How do I reliably expose MacPorts dovecot to the LAN on macOS Sonoma?

Sounds like a DHCP issue on your router that was cleared up after a reboot. I’d recommend trying togging the network interface off/on the next time that happens, or rebooting the router. > On Jan 24, 2024, at 12:19 PM, Gerben Wierda wrote: > > I can after some more testing confirm: > > - Aft

Re: Questions on postfix

There’s a mail-server port that configures MacPorts postfix/dovecot/rspamd/… and other tools to create a working mail server largely based on the old MacOS Server.app mail server, complete with a functional PKI and fast solr-based mail searches. Even APNS push notifications still work to Mail an

Re: Running open source 'unix' services via MacPorts on macOS is no longer feasible for me

Thanks I’m the author. It appears that this is unrelated to the port and that there’s some issue with your home directory or account setup. In Unix, the path ‘~’ is a synonym refers to your home directory, typically ‘/Users/MyUserName’, and you definitely should be able to copy stuff there. If

Re: Running a mail server via MacPorts on macOS Monterey

As a counterpoint, macOS is configurable with all the BSD flags you need to configure a performant server. Just add these options to /etc/sysctl.conf, which although does not exist in macOS 12, can easily be edited and works across reboots. I just did this myself for a native VPN server using n

Thank you very much for troubleshooting this issue. First, as Gerben points out, macOS‘s postfix launch daemon is in /System/Library, so you’d have to disable SIP to unload it, which at best is a major PITA, and realistically a non-option. Second, I see these two possible fixes: • Include a l

Re: Postfix version question

Ports should represent the latest supported release, not experimental releases. Especially ports like postfix and dovecot that expose services to the internet and are known attack vectors. I’d recommend to work upstream to get the experimental code vetted and integrated in an official release.

It should just start and create a Unix socket in the location specified in clamd.conf. When I have to debug launch items like this, I look at the .wrapper script (/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.clamd/clams.wrapper—this is from memory but should be close), then run the Start() functio
