Can someone help me send mail using SMTP server?

I am having the most frustrating problem with SMTP outgoing email account. I use GoDaddy's Webmail (smtp.secureserver.net) and I receive all my emails through Apple Mail but I cannot send any. I haven't been able to for about two weeks now, aside from 3 or 4 fleeting windows of time when I could. Almost all of the time I try to send my emails, an error message says my outgoing account is offline. I've been on the phone with GoDaddy's tech support three times this week and did everything we could think of, which include these steps:
-Force Quit Apple Mail --> Restart Computer
-Change Default Ports to a specific one and uncheck "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)"
-Check "Use only this server"
-Delete account completely from Apple Mail and re-load (which I had to go into Time Machine to recover messages, and lots a bunch in the process ugh!)
Nothing works! I depend on this email for my business, and I rely heavily on Apple Mail for this account. All of my other email accounts that I pull through Mail work fine, but of course they are not SMTP outgoing. Please help...I feel like I've tried everything and nothing works permanently.

At this point there are 2 possible causes to your problem:
Apple Mail
Connectivity between you and the SMTP server
I can't help with (1) as I use Thunderbird as my mail client (the biggest advantage being I can take my mail files and move between different versions of Mac OS X). If you suspect that your problem is due to Apple Mail, then using another email client to send a test message will prove the point. If it works, then the problem lies with Apple Mail and somebody else will have to chip in. If it still fails, then there may be connectivity issue between you and the mail server.
If you google "telnet smtp test" (without the quotes), you will find many articles showing you how to test an SMTP connection using telnet. Don't be put off by the fact that many of the articles assume you are running Windows. The only Mac bit you need to know is that telnet is a command line utility accessed via Terminal. The rest is generic.
Telnet will allow you to interact with the mail server a line at a time and show you exactly what and where the problem is. If you get an unexpected response from the server, go back to GoDaddy and show them the output. If you don't get any response at all (i.e. "telnet smtpout.secureserver.net 25" just hangs), then take it up with your ISP as you are simply not getting through to the server.
Good luck.

SMICM error while sending mail using SMTP server

Hi All,
We are not able send mails using SMTP server.
We have made every settings necessary in SCOT, SO16 , SMTP service is activated, default domain is maintained etc
Only things which seems to be wrong is in SMICM trace file.
[Thr 13] *** ERROR => NiBufIConnect: non-buffered connect pending after 5000ms (hdl 29;10.26.24.44:1090) [nibuf.cpp 4608]
[Thr 13] *** WARNING => Connection request from (0/1/0) to host: 10.26.24.44, service: 1090 failed (NIECONN_REFUSED)
[icxxconn_mt.c 2321]
This error is getting repeated in it.
BUt I am not sure why it it trying to hit 10.26.24.44, as we dont have any server by this ip. The ip is only not resolvable from the server.
1 more thing, at OS level, following parameter is maintained in profile :
icm/server_port_1 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25000,TIMEOUT=180
But in SCOT, under SMTP node PORT is given as 25.
Kindly let me know what going wrong here?
Thanks

I send mail via SMTP server with Hebrew text, and I get it gibberish on my iphone

I send mail via SMTP server with Hebrew text, and I get it gibberish on my iphone

What mail program from what kind of computer are you sending your email? It sounds like an encoding problem that would have to be solved on the sending end. If you want, send me an example of the kind of email which arrives as gibberish on your iphone (tom at bluesky dot org).

Cant send mail using selected server

I havent been able to send mail using my normal 587port with SSL selected.
Can someone help me???

A .Mac account has a 10 MB message size limit for incoming and sent messages and attachments must be encoded before being sent which increases the size of the pre-encoded attachment by 50% or so. A single 6 MB attachment can be over 10MB due to the encoding process.

Sending Mail through SMTP server

Hi
I am trying to sent the mails through smtp server but but my smtp server is not reponding, I tried to delete the account & recreated the accounts & the smtp server but unable to do that, but creating the same mail account & same smtp server works in different laptop. can any one guide me how to correct the problem & repair it.
Thanks in advance for the support.

There are a couple of things you might check:
make sure that you have the server name entered correctly (for example, stmp.gmail.com)
make sure that if you have to override the default port that you have
make sure that if SSL is required to connect that you've this option ticked, and
make sure that if you need to provide a user name and password to access the server that you have.
Other than that, that's about all that I can think of.

also i want to know whethr i can use that our smtp server from a computer outside of the net work.
pls help me
txs lot.

Almost certainly, if you are behind a proxy server it will only be a proxy for HTTP traffic, and you will not be able to communicate with an SMTP server outside your network. But you have your own SMTP server so why would you want to?
If you have a proxy server and an SMTP server then there will be people responsible for supporting them. Talk to those people and ask them to give you the basic explanation of networking that you need.

It is compiling and runnung properly. Please Help me on this.
Thanks.
Satya.

You're mishandling the responses. You terminate if you don't get an "Ok" string, but that's not how success is defined - you should get a 200 code back, typically with an "OK" (not caps) message.
It doesn't help that you're ignoring all of the server output after each command, so you never find out if anything goes wrong.
You're also reinventing a wheel. The JavaMail API exists for this: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/

this is where i created the keystore.jks file
I navigated to the location C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin in command prompt and typed the following command to create the keystore
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file mail_test_com.crt -keystore keystore.jksI was asked to set the password for keystore and then i was asked the question "Trust this certificate? [no]:" for which i gave yes.
If this is not the right place to create the keystore.jks can you please tell me what is correct location to create the keystore file.

Can someone help if my mail to Mr.Mark Hurd and Board of Directors is ignored?

I purchased a HP All-in-One printer **bleep** fax, scan and copier - Model No.J 5788. In 16 months time the hinges broke. I found no necessary support from India so I used the tool provided on hp.com to approach Mr.Mark Hurd and Board of Directors, HP. The mail was mechanically acknowledged but no action was taken so I sent three reminders using reply mode of the acknowledgement. Still not responded, I called up the office of Mr.Mark Hurd at U.S. from India. The Operator told me that I have to speak to CEO Customer Relations and she diverted my call to someone who told she was an executive. The executive told me that I have to contact India office.
If HP India office, ignore complaint and my mail sent to Mr.Mark Hurd and Board of Directors, do Mr.Mark Hurd or any of Directors on Board, HP don't look in to my complaint?
My complaint and contention is a hinges have to be made of Engineering plastics like ABS and if so done, they would not break for years. It seems the hinges HP supply are made of Bakelite. I asked HP about their specification for use of raw material for making Hinges. I do not know whether HP has specified im-proper raw material to make hinges or some vendor is taking HP for ride? I want HP Board of Directors to look in to it.
Another grievance is, HP provide tool to approach Mr.Mark Hurd and Board of Directors on hp.com but HP India do not provide a tool or email ids or telephone numbers of HP executive to look in to serious complaints. How HP is going to improve products, improve manufacturing process or redressing customer complaints if complaints are not looked into by concerned executives?
It seems that HP does not have any moral standards yet want to claim that they are most ethical company.
Could someone tell me, how to approach Mr.Mark Hurd or Board of Directors sucessfully?

Can someone help with my Mail not working with my Microsoft Exchange server?

I am trying to set up my Mail account. I am using the Microsoft Exchange server. I've been using Entourage, but wanted to switch to using the Mac's Mail. I used the same settings I had with Entourage, but with Mac Mail I'm getting this error: MFEWSErrorDomain error 56. From some of the other posts I saw, it seems as though no one has any answers, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

There is no single cause of this problem and hence no single solution. There are several suggestions in this thread, if you haven't come across it, one of which might help:

Cannot Send Mail using AIM account.

I can receive mail fine but when I try to send mail I get the following message:
Cannot send mail using the server smtp.aim.com:EmilyLozano.
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
Message from: Emily Lozano <[email protected]>
I left for a trip a few days ago, came back and now for no apparent reason cannot send mail as I always have. I have reconfigured the port to 587 and that did not help. Any suggestions? (I can send and receive fine via the web, but I really hate it.)

I'm glad you got it figured out. So many times people on this forum sit around waiting for help when they could have retraced their steps, like you did, to figure out the source of the problem.
