Cutedge Software - The Mail We Love to Get

Both of them are great applications and they work properly as described.
This week officially OSX is dead and for all of you, who are looking for mail server or webserver, please get/buy these apps. Besides, if you need support, Mister Bernard soon, as much as he can, will help you out. Soon i will buy more licenses for both of them and i will buy the VPN Server. Satisfaction between 0 to 10, i would say 11+.

I've emailed you before saying the same thing but, thank you for keeping this software alive. Without this my home network, my best friends home network, and a few clients I have... Their networks would not be complete without DNS Enabler.

This is purely a fan letter. Ever since Apple started dumbing down the interface for Web and Mail in the server application, I have found your utilities a million times easier to use than theirs. I am always relieved when I get a new machine or upgrade that you are still producing new versions. I always worry that with the price drop of apple server from $1000 to $30 that you will stop producing your great utilities, please don’t your stuff is a million times easier to use. I always buy full instead of upgrading because I want you to know there is an audience who appreciate your hard work.

Thanks

Your product is excellent and provides a nice refresher on bind 9.x by using the GUI to make changes and then looking at the generated files.

Great customer service, and I love MailServe, it is really straightforward and easy to use. Thank you!

Just thought that I'd send you a quick note to thank you for writing Liya. I've been working on my iPhone app and needed a fast way to move all my data from one SQLite db to another and your app saved me time in this process. Very easy application to use and a simple interface too!

If you've spent any time reading Postfix documentation available on the internet, you know that it is not easy reading. Rather than spending time trying to understand that, I've been using MailServe Snow for about 1 year and it has probably paid for itself many times over. Recently I added a new domain to my server and needed to add a mail account for a user on that new domain. I emailed a question about that modification to Cutedge and was reminded how quickly and accurately they respond to support requests.

It's a great programme that helps me - an accounting novice - keep my small outfit's numbers in check. I love it.

Thanks again.

Thanks very much for your timely responses. It's a pleasure to do business with you guys.

Thanks hugely for sorting this out ... I doubt that I would ever have got there myself ... it's really good to get this level of support for something that costs so relatively little ! ... we rarely get support like this from any of the ludicrously expensive contracts we have with the likes of Microsoft/IBM/Oracle etc. Thanks again Bernard, you have one very happy customer now !

First of all, thank you sincerely for your apps. I want to setup my home server so I can get real freedom on the Internet and your software are the best I found for the people who are not network expert ... your work is really important because it helps people take control of their data on the Internet.

... It is almost worth paying up just for the documentation - which is really excellent. If you search on the web for info on setting up Postfix there is lots of stuff out there but most of it is confusing and fragmented. Your documentation is complete, detailed, clear, concise and lucid - pretty much an object lesson in how to write documentation - so thanks for that.

Because MailServe runs behind the scenes, I imagine that many users only think of it when they actually start up the MailServe GUI. They don't think of it each time they successfully send or receive an email message, but they should.

As a gesture of appreciation, I just purchased an extra serial number, and wanted to make sure you knew how much the software is valued. Thanks.

Here's a testimonial. I've been trying to set up a webDav server on a home Mac network for a long time (many months, maybe years). I never got around to it because it because it was a lower priority, and it was just at the limits of my tech ability. I knew it wasn't super complicated, but I didn't want to spend the time on it or risk messing it up. WebMon was so straightforward, well-documented, and simple, that it took me about 5 minutes (after reading the doc) to get things going. A great product and a great contribution to us just barely technically savvy folks.

Have to say your software just saved me a whole lot of pain. Our OS X Server at home just blew a gasket and had to get something up to receive, now have Mailserve running on a blue and white g3 with OS X Tiger. I was contemplating having to build a Windows server and active directory yada yada yada... Not now.

I could not believe it. I attempted to setup DNS on a new XServe install using the Leopard Server interface and hosed the configuration files. I have read at AFP548.com that there is a bug in the Leopard Server DNS interface.

After re-installing the server software (and updates) I used DNS Enabler to setup DNS on the XServer and it went so fast and everything works perfectly.

Thank you.

in our studios we use Macs for work and for serving. In the place we use the client version of Tiger as file print and mailserver we bought your MailServe software, thanks to you for this tool. In our second office we use OSX Server for inhouse Mailserver, let me say that your software seems much better to me than Apples Gui for this. If it where possible i would change immediately to Mailserve and would not stay with Apples interface. Your all in one box is much better.

My DNS service on leopard server crash tonight and I can't restart the service, I don't know why! But with your software in 1 minute all my DNS service was created and work...

Thanks a bunch, I was actually pretty surprised at how easy this was to use. I am a complete noob when it comes to anything mac or just scripting in general so this 10 bucks was well spent. I have had an apache/mercury setup for years on my pc but I have been wanting to gravitate towards hosting my website with my mac.

You really need to advertise more and get yourself to the top of the google searches. I've spent a week trying to configure this damn server and I find this "MailServe" gem this evening. All I can say is thank you, best €10 I've spent in a long while, it just takes the pain out of configuring in the command line.

I am a software/multimedia developer from the Netherlands. I've done coding for OS X as well. I'm really passionate about this work, and therefore know how to appreciate a real good piece of software.

I just bought DNS Enabler and MailServe for a second server I'm putting online for an open source project I'm part of (we offer our knowledge and support for free, next to hosting, shell accounts for people to learn programming and to try something different than Windows).

I bought these 2 programs because they really help out configuring, I would have bought WebMon as well, but well you can give out your money once :) So perhaps in the future another sale for another great application.

I would like to thank you for writing these great software tools. I'm a great supporter of Mac shareware software, and will add this to my recommendations list.

I wanted to thank you for the postfix enabler. I have wanted to use the terminal to email perl and unix command line outputs for various reasons. I tried now and again, but could never get the master.cf file set correctly. So after spending a couple hours today reading and tinkering I gave up, crossed my fingers and bought your program. It worked. I had to use my IP's "smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.net" as the smart host, enable SASL authentication in the postfix smtp client and entered the IP "smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.net" again with my username:password. It works. I can send email out from Mail.app using localhost (my own computer as the smtp server) and more importantly postfix sendmail works, and the unix mail command works too. Of course, I know there is a way to do it without this little app--but finding the correct setting information is painful. I really need to thank you. Apple should license this program from you and add it to the operating system--it is totally useful for getting postfix working, which isn't trivial at all for most of us.

Setting up my mailserver on OSX leopard was so amazingly easy and works great ! I'll give it a week or so and then get your DNS application to move my DNS to my own server and then dump my hosting company.

For what they are and what they cost, MailServe and DNS Enabler are great tools.

I have experimented with Mac Server for a while and the server GUI config tools are very bloated and don't address the types of name resolution scenarios we have been discussing. Really I paid a lot more money for not much more functionality than your software provides.

Overall, your software is good value, light and effective for most users.
What more could anyone ask for.

Reloaded the [OS X] Server with the [OS X Client] desktop this morning. Bought MailServe, and WebMon as well. Got things up and running. Looks like I didn't need to buy the [OS X] Server OS after all.

I've just upgraded from G3 OS 9.2.2 to Mac Pro OS X 4.9 and after spending a day trying to configure Entourage or Mail to send emails to and from 3 different domains without success, Postfix enabled everything within one hour – as soon as I had realised that I did not have to make the set up complicated.

Thank you for this product! I have just had to rebuild my iMac system for the 4th time due to hard disk failures (a long sad story) and was exasperated that I was having to download and reconfigure so many mail products to get my mail system back up and running... when a friend of mine mentioned that you had created MailServe and it was a snap to set up and run. It literally took me two minutes to get my email system back on line and running again, and half of that was re-copying the mail folders from backup.

Thanks again, this is MORE than worth the price for the application in terms of time saved!

Having spent all day trying to figure out how to enable a DNS with forwarding system, behind my NAT for my 10.4.9 server, I stumbled across your site (again, having used Postfix Enabler back when it was free).

DNS Enabler is the program that Apple's Server Admin should be! I'm happy to pay for it, and glad that it exists, you've saved me much mucking around with BIND in the terminal.

Thank you, it does just what your web page says – since I haven't touched sendmail directly since SunOS 1.4, something like 17 years ago, this was well worth the $19.99 – especially with the $/£ rate at present. :-)

I'm trying Luca at the moment and find that it may be the best Mac accounting software (for its simplicity, flexibility and features).

I've just bought Postfix Enabler. I've tried to set up Postfix by myself with no success. With your app, I succeeded within minutes and it works great. And for Only 10$. You really deserve it !

Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the Mailserve and WebMon application you wrote. It is really something I have been looking forward for quite some time.

Until a week ago I used Linux based software for my mail- and web server, which is also my central file server. Reason was that OS X Server has too much overhead (and too high costs).

Unfortunately, Linux has its shortcomings with Mac-filenames which does not allow the way we can use filenames with OS X.

With your aplications I am now able to use a standard Mac for all the purposes I need.

So this really is a very nice solution.
Thanks again very much for your software.

So far it's great, very straightforward, the least confusing accounting software I've come across. My only suggestion would be to add the ability to use OSX's native labeling system with it.

I was looking at the rest of your projects and I must say, I really think you're on to something. OSX ships with massive capabilities that only the most die-hard Mac users even know about, much less use. A suite of moderately-priced products that make those capabilities available to the average user is something the Apple market has needed for a long time now.

When I have time I plan to check out the rest of your offerings -- they could potentially make my life as a small-biz owner (and Mac enthusiast!) a lot easier! :)

Recently ran into Luca (I am looking for a replacement for MS Money) and liked what I found, double entry, a professional chart of accounts and the ability to easily do general entries, such as depreciation expense and etc. Most of the "double entry" accounting programs I have looked at seem to fall down in the general entry area. ...

... I instinctively like the Luca program you are developing. Seems like you have managed to keep something that could easily get very complicated simple but thorough.

I have successfully installed DNS Enabler! Everything works (web server, mail server and .... SSL!)

Thanks for taking time to develop Luca. I have been looking for quite a while for a simple OS X accounting package that looks like a true business application rather than a Quickbooks rip-off. Luca is the closest thing I've found.

Thank you for your time, and this is a great piece of software. It really did enable me to set things up just like I use to have them on my Linux box, but so much quicker. :)

Congratulations on a very nice tool for turning on the email support in OS X! I am just in the process of first explorations into running a server from my home computer. Despite my inexperience, everything about the process of setting this up was a pleasure, from the initial firing up of the program to the instant response with a serial number, to the very effective online help file, to the quick email support response.

I will certainly study your other products to see what I can use from such a fine vendor of Mac software!

Thanks for the quick reply and the great help, I am totally not used to that. Tech support is usually a grueling process that takes forever.

Those changes did the trick! Thanks for pointing out my configuration errors. My domains pass all the various DNS and MX tests I toss at them now too.

I used Quick DNS (from Men & Mice) on OS 9 for years, and when I switched to OS X I didn't like their new Men & Mice suite, or using OS X Server's built in DNS admin utility. But your program is clean and straightforward, and rocks! I've already recommended it to my associates. And you can quote me on that : -)

My old email provider has been having difficulty with uptime and reliability, and I was thinking about setting up my own email server, since I already have my own web server.

I remember years back when I had to try to do that by hand using a variety of Unix tools, and it wasn't easy. I wasn't looking forward to trying to set it up.

Then I found your tool, and within a couple minutes, I had my email server set up. It was amazing. Best $10 I've ever spent on software.

Bernard, thought I'd drop a line to tell you what a great product you have! Brain dead simple and elegant in design. It works like a champ. Runs circles around the Mac OS X Server DNS module, including much greater flexibility. Now, if I could only get you to do a web server and mail server...

Plus, I really appreciate your assistance and immediate response on a Sunday purchase. Truly impressive.

I have been using DNS Enabler for a while now and must say that it is a fantastic time saver. In true Mac style, "It just works" (and it works well, too).

Last summer, I struggled for a couple of days trying to get Postfix, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP working on OS X. Total failure and frustration.

It must be said sincerely, there's nothing bad that can be said about your software, it just works, without complaining, in harmony with the system, don't change anything in your style !!!!!)

DNS Enabler is the better interface i've ever seen for such a service. With your tools, i have a server more stable and more efficient that OS X Server for the common tasks : web, webdav, mail, dns.

Many, many thanks for Mailserve (and for Postfix Enabler before that). I've spent many hours trying to implement a secure, similar system on FreeBSD and always ended up hitting a brick wall.

With Mailserve it was up and running in five minutes, and continues to happily provide mail services for my company.

Hello, Works great! Simple. Stable. Its worth every cent!! Excellent. Thanks :-))

I managed to get this program running and I love it. Thank you for making quality applications at a great price. I will definitely buy more of your products.

Thought I'd drop you a line. We used to run an Exchange 2003 setup here at home (don't ask, really don't ask). Anyway we use a couple of Macs too, and thought it would be nice to have them handle all our mail etc. Can't believe how easy it was to setup, and the cost was peanuts, nice little configuration tool too.

I'd had a look at setting up postfix etc from command line etc and just gave up. This is an excellent way to run your own mail server and I'll recommend it to anyone who is looking to setup a small scale mail server for home or small offices.

I have been looking for this sort of programme for a long time, without any luck - until now :-)))

Just a quick note to inform you that I am very pleased with Mailserve! I (finally) found time to install it and got my mailserver up and running with 5 accounts in virtually no time! The only thing that took a while was to get my ISP to change their DNS server. Thanks to you, non-unix-geeks like me get the benefits of the 'hidden' OSX applications.

Thanks Bernard. This is a great tool, and is worth every penny. It's definitely more Mac-like than Apple's DNS tool in Mac OS X Server 10.3!

I wanted to setup an IMAP server on my machine. At first, I tried following the instructions at http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.index.html. This involved downloading and compiling a bunch of packages. Nothing was working.

Then I found your product, paid $10, and had everything working within 5 minutes. This truly is the Mac way! Thanks.

I recently purchased DNS Enabler, MailServe, and WebMon for use on my home network. Previously I was using OpenBSD for my server needs, but I liked the idea of using two or three Mac Minis, and when I came across your software, it seemed like the perfect fit. And indeed, in just a couple hours, I got two computers setup.... primary/secondary DNS server, and Postfix/Pop3 server. All are working perfectly!

I've been running my own mail and web servers for a few years now on Linux machines running Sendmail and Cyrus or Sendmail and Dovecot... My machine went belly up with hardware failures and all I had left was an old G-3 iMacDV 400 we bought new about 6 years ago. I was in a bind, with a full schedule and simply no time to put into building a Mac server from scratch. I frantically began Googling anything I could find on building mail servers on OSX and stumbled on a message board entry that offhandedly mentioned your product and had a link to your site. Initially, I didn't want to take a chance on your Postfix Enabler:

First, because I wanted to do it myself. And, second, because I didn't think it would work.

A day later, I paid for and downloaded your product, and in less than 5 minutes I was up and running. Now all that's left is me kicking myself for not doing it sooner. You have saved me untold hours and I'm very grateful. Postfix Enabler is a great application and well worth the $10.

Macs have been our desktop machines for years, but from now on they are my servers as well.

Nice job on DNS Enabler! Not only does the utility make enabling DNS services on OS X a snap, the zone/db files created are clean and tidy. Any thoughts on integrating DHCP services?
