Can't send email - IP address blocked

Up until yesterday everything was fine.
Then, when I tried to send an email I got:
"An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting:  *** Blacklisted at zen.spamhaus.org ***".
Checked my IP address and yes, it was listed as blocked.
Turned the router on and off to get a new IP address - same problem.
Reset the router - same problem.
I am using Thunderbird v36.1.0
I have not installed any new programs.
I have not changed any settings.
Called BT helpdesk but they were just a frustrating waste of time.
Any ideas please?

Well magically today, the Group Name populated itself with the recipients' email address when I tried sending it again. Perhaps it was an iCloud issue. I still can't access "Edit Distribution List' under the AB Edit menu though.

  • Thunderbird can't send email to addresses in Address Book because of formatting error

    My Thunderbird can't send email to an address picked from the Address Book. It gives the following error:
    "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.1.1 <"name@telconame"@telco.com> Unknown recipient. Please check the message recipient "name@telconame"@telco.com and try again."
    You can see that Thunderbird has garbled the name/address pair: "name@telconame"@telco.com" so that it's unworkable.
    If I type the email address by hand, it sends the email OK. But it can't retrieve an address from the Address Book without garbling the name/address pair. Win 7, TBird Version 32.0; it's the same in SafeMode.
    Any ideas?

    Make two Address Book entries for him; one for each of his e-mail addresses. Make a new Address Book group and put both of his entries in it. When you send him an e-mail just type in the name of the group in the To: field.

  • Can't Send Email to Address Book Group

    First time trying to create a group in Address Book and send the members an e-mail. Looks like the group is set up properly in Address Book, but I can't e-mail to the group.
    When I enter the group name in "To:" in a new e-mail in Mail, the name disappears when I hit Enter or move hte cursor to the right. I have to click in the field to the right just to get the group name to stay in the field.
    When I send the message I get this back: "This message couldn’t be sent because the following internal error occurred: This message couldn’t be sent because you haven’t specified any recipients."
    I can manually address the email to the individual group members, but why isn't Mail adding the group members as recipients when I enter the group name?
    I'm running OS X 10.7.3. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I, too, have had "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" checked since forever. I have just tried creating a group (or "Folder," actually, since it's in an Exchange account) of contacts and sending email to it. If I create a new message in Mail and start typing the group name, it auto-completes. But if I click the offered compltion, or type TAB, COMMA, or ENTER, the group name disappears from the "To:" box and there are no recipients.
    If I right-click the name of the group in Address Book and pick 'Send mail to "(group name)"' a new email message composition window appears, but there are no recipients.
    Hold the phone ... I just deleted the first member from the group, then re-added him. Now it partly works. I can 'Send Mail to "(group name)"' from Address Book, and I can drag the group into a recipient field (but I must then "Expand group" to see the addresses in Mail). But still, if I type the group into a recipient field, I get nothing.

  • How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

    How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini? 
    On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address.  Both are through the one exchange account without a problem.  I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

    Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
    Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

    I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
    Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
    If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
    In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can't send email from Outlook with parentheses in address

    I can't send email from Outlook 2007 through my WRT400N when Outlook displays the address with parentheses as in this example: Firstname Lastname ([email protected])
    I can send if the address is in this form: Firstname Lastname <[email protected]>
    I have tested with the ISP and nothing gets through the router when the problem occurs. When I bypass the router, both forms of address will send correctly. This problem is perfectly reproducible. My router is brand new, but the problem did not show up for about a week after installation. OS is Win7. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • Can I send email using my own domain address with iCloud the way I can with gmail?

    Let's say I own mydomain.com and have a [email protected] email account.  I have set that up to forward to gmail, and that would be easy to switch to iCloud.  Here's the tricky part: gmail allows me to send email as [email protected]  I've been doing this for years and it works, but I'd like to switch from gmail to iCloud.  Can I set up this same behavior with an iCloud @me.com address (which I already have but haven't been using yet)?  I know I can obviously switch the forwarding of incoming mail to my @me.com address...  but can I send [email protected] email through iCloud the way I can with gmail?  All of my devices are Apple: a Mac Mini using Apple's Mail app, and an iPhone and an iPad both using the Apple email app, so I'd rather switch everything over from gmail to iCloud.
    P.S.  Awe, c'mon Apple.  Don't turn those fake addresses into links.  I just used them for the sake of giving an example.

  • How can I send email from my HPEPrint email address

    How can I send email from my HPEPrint email address, to other addresses? Is the HP photosmart 5010 smtp compatible?

    Hello
    The eprint service is only used for incoming emails to the eprint center which then go to your printer, you cannot send out emails from that address.

  • Using a wi fi not mine can't send email error message says my email address not recognised

    I am using my IPAD in UK. (friend's wi fi) from Australia
    Can receive email ok
    Have entered his Outgoing address mail.btinternet.com.
    Can't send emails.  Error message says  server does not recognize my address
    What do I do??

    Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, things have gotten progressively worse now in another direction. After I posted this, I shut down my computer to go to work. It had to "rebuild" the filevault sparseimage to recover space.
    Now when I restarted it, I am missing things from my dock, ? marks are in their place, all of my preferences have been set to some default AND this is the biggie - I have no mail accounts whatsoever. When I click on Mail, it asks me if I want to establish a new account. It looks like the FileVault action has totally screwed up my system.
    I tried rebuilding the permissions as recommended above using safe boot. Didn't help. I am now trying to repair the FileVault sparseimage as recommended elsewhere. I think I now see what the problem might be. I have two different sparseimages for the same account with the only difference is that a 1 is appended to the second one. Unfortunately I can't tell which it is. I have a feeling I should repair the 1st one (without the suffix 1). It must not be able to open that and hence that is why it made a second one.
    Any other help anyone?

  • Why I can't send emails to some address and also i...

    Hello!
    Why I can't send  email using my ovi mail account to some email address and also i can't send email using Thunderbird? So what is the problem?

    Yahoo has messed with their stuff lately (honestly they've been messing with their servers for months)
    One thing would be if you guys wanted to use the yahoo mail app, or there have been other users posting solutions that they say work for them

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/27894621?ac_cid=tw123456#27894621
    These have applied to people not able to get mail but changing the settings may help you and your wife. (My yahoo is still working so I haven't needed to try any of these)
    I've noticed with my Yahoo that they've changed their login protocols. For example 'stay signed in' is always clicked and the push is for people to merge multiple accounts to access their multiple yahoo from one account/sign in instead of signing out/in to access different accounts. I'm wondering if that change is what's messing with the protocols needed for iOS mail to work. But no one really knows for sure (and neither Apple or Yahoo will comment on the issue)
    About all users can do is find work arounds that work for them.
    If these don't work or if you don't want to use the yahoo mail app, you might try using safari to go to yahoo.com and access your mail that way.

  • How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

    How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
    I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
    In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
    ‘Other’ POP account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Description: alias
    Incoming mail server:
    Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Server port: 995
    Outgoing mail server:
    SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
    Server port: 25
    ‘Yahoo!’ account info:
    Name: xyz
    Address: [email protected]
    Password: password for yahoo account
    Description: Yahoo!
    Outgoing mail server:
    Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
    Server port: 465
    I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
    I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
    I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
    Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
    I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
    Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
    Many thanks,
    Patrick

    A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
    However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
    So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Can't send email from mac

    Hi
    I don't know since when, but I can't send email anymore via iCloud on my Mac. iPhone and iPad work. Online iCloud as well.
    I am running:
    OS X 10.9.2
    Mail 7.2 (1874)
    I use the @me.com adresses
    smtp Server says: iCloud(iCloud)
    What I tried so far:
    I went to Accounts in SysPref and activated and deactivated the account.
    No help
    I deleted my iCloud account and created it new from scratch on my Mac
    No help
    But it changed the smtp server info from iCloud(iCloud offline) to iCloud(iCloud)
    But still can't send it.
    Also, all info seems to indicate that everything is fine. Account Info, etc.
    I am running out of options.
    Any help?

    Try deleting the email account in Mail's Accounts preference pane
    and then add it back. That will automatically enter the correct server addresses.

  • Mail can't send email from 123-reg accounts

    Hi all,
    I've got an issue with Mac Mail can’t send email from 123-reg accounts.
    I know there is a lot of articles on simular matters and some I have tried out with no luck, others are just speaking a whole other language.
    Any help would be greatly recived, here's my situation below:
    Running a iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 on OS X 10.8.3
    I’m using 3 accounts on Macs Mail client, one is my iCloud account that is working fine and the other two are my 123-reg accounts that I use for business purposes. I’ve been working like this for a couple of years now and about 6 months ago I upgrade my operating system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    2 or 3 months ago I randomly got a problem where I was unable to send any emails from my 123-reg account, I could only receive emails. I checked my settings and they were all correct and unchanged so I attempted to delete them and recreate the account but with no such luck.
    I then decided to check if it was a problem at 123-regs end and attempted to log into web mail. This worked and was able to both send and receive emails so eliminated that possibility.
    I also have these accounts set up on my iPhone, so checked if there was any issues and everything was working fine. I then checked my iphone details and made sure the same was on my desktop and still no such luck.
    I’ve tried out some of the articles I’ve found on here (the ones written in plain English) still no results. I’m not very IT illiterate and just wondered if anyone else has got any ideas, whether there is something specific with 123-reg accounts and Mac Mail?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks
    I just had another hunt around looking at posts and discovered that it was because I recently changed to BT Infinity and they had a block on.
    I didn't even think to question the ISP.
