Hi All,
Apologies in advance if I've already got the wrong end of the stick with my problem!
I have recently taken on a new client that is running a Mac Xserver 10.5.8. At present it is only used as a filestore, dhcp, dns etc
what they wold like to achieve is to set up mail services on the server. This is something I have 0 experience of in a mac environment (I do know exchange 2003/2007 in Windows so the concept of a mail server is not new to me)
I've been looking at http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/Mail_Service_Admin_v10.5.pdf
The problem I have is that I appear to have configured the mail services correctly but if I enable a user account for mail, I see nothng in the mail administration side to show that I have this mail account.
My hunch is that because my directory of users is set up as local log ons this is why it is not interfacing with the mail system. The attached message is shown to me every time i log in to workgroup manager.
My question is, do I have to implement Open Directory to create users that mail will work with or have I done something wrong in just enabling mail on the user's tab.
If I have to implement Open Directory, how will this effect the accounts I already have?
Hope you can help
Mark
