Hmmm, I have a pop server running on the machine that is the main 'server' in my local network. On the iPad I set up a pop mail account for the 'server' and specified that the outgoing mail server was server.skynet ( the name of the server ). I pulled up the mail app on the iPad and on the From line I clicked [email protected]. and sent a small message to the mac book pro and viola it appeared on the localhost account on the mbp. ( I run a pop server on the mbp also ). Here are the headers From: MyServer <[email protected]> Subject: Testing Date: December 6, 2010 3:18:16 PM EST To: [email protected] Return-Path: <[email protected]> X-Original-To: [email protected] Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: from server.skynet (server [192.168.1.90]) by mbp.skynet (Postfix) with ESMTP id 17C30A4ED6C for <[email protected]>; Mon, 6 Dec 2010 15:18:17 -0500 (EST) Received: from [192.168.1.100] (unknown [192.168.1.100]) by server.skynet (Postfix) with ESMTP id E536A25ED88 for <[email protected]>; Mon, 6 Dec 2010 15:18:16 -0500 (EST) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: iPad Mail (8C148) Message-Id: <[email protected]> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mime-Version: 1.0 (iPad Mail 8C148) X-Uidl: ZTg!!%'%#!^5G!!0il!! The initial Received line shows that the iPad 192.168.1.100 sent the email to the outgoing server that I had specified when I set up the account on the iPad (server.skynet). I think this was the problem...All of my other configured iPad mail accounts are configured for off site access ie Gmail, MobileMe, Exchange etc... so previously the iPad sent the email to one of the external sites which could not see my private network. I tried setting up the pop account with 'localhost' as the outgoing smtp server but the iPad could not find a smtp server on itself... I guess I need to set up a dummy account on server so that the iPad and my macbook pro don't fight over grabbing mail from server.skynet.
