Mac OS X 10.5 had a great feature that allowed you to use your already created groups as mailing lists. Each group had it’s own mail address (groupname@example.com) and postfix delived each mail to all users of that group

In Snow Leopard Server this feature is not available anymore.

With the help of this scripts you can simulate Leopards group mailing abilities. It creates a postfix alias file out of your LDAP groups (Open Directory) and updates you MTA configuration automatically. You can even exclude groups and use nested groups.

There are great ways to backup your hole Mac OS X Server. But I have not found any script that enabled me to configure service backups the way i wanted.

With sl-backuper you can backup your server on a service based approach. Currently you can export Mail, iCal Server, AddressBook Server and MySQL

sl-backuper runs each night (or the way you configure it) and exports all enabled services to a special folder. This folder is only readable by Administrators and is managed by sl-backuper. sl-backuper keeps as many backups of each services as you want and removes outdates ones. Additionally per job logfiles are created.

superMount: Your HFS+ partition isn’t mounting anymore?

superMount uses hfs.util to mount (or at least tries to) your HFS+ partition.

As a mac tech I often have harddisks that are damaged (either physically or software-based). There are a lots of tools out there that help you recover your data – but they cost quite some money and alot of time.

Why not try a tool already included into your operating system?: superMount
