Can't send even 1-member Mail group to SMTP server

Using Mail 2.1.3, I can't send a group e-mail via my ISP, smtpauth.earthlink.net. This is true even when the group contains only one address, my own. The message is accepted if I expand the group.
Earthlink's SMTP mail server says "message does not conform to RFC2822 standard".
Apparently Earthlink is looking for something different from what Mail is sending it.
I'd welcome suggestions of what I could do to make this work.

To clarify: what exactly do you mean by "drag the Group to the BCC: field" ?
If I open Address Book, select a group, and then drag to the BCC field _all the individual members_ of the group, the message is sent.
But if I drag the name of the group, the message is not sent.

    I have the same issue. I am on a Macbook Pro 2 Gb RAM Rev A. OS X 10.5.3 apple mail 3.3. I have setup a corporate exchange owa (2007) account and can receive emails. I cannot send any from this exchange account. on the same Mac I have Entourage and it can receive and send emails. What is the difference and what do I have to do to make Apple Mail work and be able to send emails as well.

  • Can I send a text to a "group" contact without selecting each individual member?

    Can I send a text to a "group" contact without selecting each individual member?  I have a group formed in my contacts, but I still have to select each member in that group to send a text or email from my phone.

    There are apps that allow you to address sms messages to groups (such as Speed Names: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speed-names-contacts-groups/id285124918?mt=8), but not iMessages.  Perhaps this will change with a future iOS update.
    The only point of having them at the moment is to allow you to limit the view to only contacts belonging to a group, so that you can more easily add the individual members of the group.  But at the present time, you still have to add them individually.

  • My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

    My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
    Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
    P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

    You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
    Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
    Upgrade Fee
    It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
    Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
    One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

  • How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

  • Can't Send Mail Via HughesNet SMTP Server

    After installing 10.5 I find that I can receive mail from my ISP (HughesNet) but I can't send mail through the smtp server. I've tried every setting possible and even duplicated the settings off my wife's 10.4.10 iMac and I still can't send mail. All I see is that the smtp service is "Offline."
    Fortunately, I have a .Mac account so I can send mail using that smtp server. But I'd like to be abel to use my HughesNet server.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My mom uses RoadRunner by Time Warner. She was able to receive email using Leopard and Mail but not send. SMTP server was the big problem like everyone else here experienced. We finally were able to get it to work using many ideas here. What we did:
    1) Delete com.apple.mail.plist from the User/Library/Preferences folder (BACK UP YOUR EMAIL FIRST)
    2) Open Mail and create a new account but disable the automatic set-up feature, put your info in manually.
    3) Uncheck " Use only this server" from the outgoing mail
    4) Under the Advanced tab on Mail Prefs "port set to 25", Uncheck "SSL" box, and uncheck "Use Authentication"
    5) Now hit Create
    It took Mail about 20 minutes to contact the SMTP server, but it did and now I can send and receive Mail without any problems on her computer.
    Bad Apple...stop criticizing MS and Vista when your own house is not in order yet. Hope this helps someone out there.....

  • Can't send or receive e-mail on EDGE network

    Just recently I can't send or receive e-mail on the EDGE network - both work fine on WIFI though.
    Safari and all other features work fine on EDGE and WIFI so it's an e-mail issue. I am using an IMAP account, no SSL, Incoming port 143, Outgoing port 587. After trying to connect for some time, sometimes I get a "cannot connect to server" message but usually no message at all.
    I would really appreciate some advice

    Am in Olympia WA for the holiday - I live in San Diego - I agree started two days ago. I spent 3 hours with Apple Support - they conferenced in ATT and they were no help. Eventually - I did a restore and did not change a thing. Am using 1.1.2.
    Something happened late monday as it was fine sat - mon night. Since I do not live in WA - I assume things will be OK when I return to CA. Giving ATT a call might help - but you will definately need to get it escalated to a higher level.
    I have sent this forum link to the great apple T3 support person that spent so much time with me - hopefully he will forward on to ATT and it will get resolved for all of you. Something did change on Monday night.

    I can't send iMessage via E-mail.
    There is no possiblity of typing '@' '.' etc.

    My only other suggestions is add the email to a contact in your phone.  When you type that contact's name, their email show pop-up below as an option.  If that doesn't work, I don't know. Sorry.

  • Write error. [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]:

    Hi ,
    I am getting the below error when scheduling a report which is larger in size in excel format.
    write error. [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]  
    The same error does not come up when sending the same report in XLS format using outlook.
    Can some one confirm if this error is because of the size of the report as I see a different error in XIR2 incase the size the exceeds the email server limit.

    Hi,
    this could be
    Maybe you have different limits for service smtp account (which the BO Server should use) and User smtp accounts.
    Thats why you can sent it via outlook and not from the BO Server.

  • /usr/bin/mail buggy or smtp server picky?

    I want to use mail to send email quickly from my terminal and decided to use msmtp as my smtp client to keep things light and straightforward.
    However, when I use /usr/bin/mail to send an email to [email protected], my smtp server (mail.messagingengine.com if you are interested) queues the email that was delivered by my /usr/bin/msmtp client fine (I get an OK for queue message), but after a couple of hours I get an NDR (Non Delivery Report) saying that my message couldn't be sent and will be retried until ultimately I get an NDR that my message couldn't be delivered.
    After some debugging, I realized that the reason the smtp server was having trouble is that my message didn't contain the From: header. Since the from address is already specified in the envelope upon SMTP-initiation, it seemed to me illogical that the smtp server couldn't just use that email.
    So I opened a ticket with those guys over at fastmail.fm, and they told me that the problem was not with the SMTP server, but with the mail client, which creates "invalid" messages (i.e. not sending the From: header). Since I trust my provider to know his stuff, here's my question:
    How can I tell /usr/bin/mail to insert a specific From: header?
    Thanks!

    Hello fukawi2,
    my ~/.mailrc contains one line:
    set sendmail=/usr/bin/msmtp
    Here's what happens when write an email using /usr/bin/mail from the mailx 8.1.1-7 package:
    [x@eee ~]$ mail [email protected]
    Subject: hello
    Another test
    EOT
    Here's how /usr/bin/mail passes my email to msmtp:
    /usr/bin/msmtp -i [email protected]
    To: [email protected]
    Subject: hello
    Another test
    Here's what my msmtp config looks like:
    #~/.msmtp
    account fastmail
    from "[email protected]"
    host mail.messagingengine.com
    auth on
    tls on
    tls_certcheck off
    user [email protected]
    password "*"
    logfile ~/msmtp.log
    Here's what the msmtp log shows when I send the email:
    nov 18 00:28:41 host=mail.messagingengine.com tls=on auth=on user=[email protected] from=[email protected] recipients=[email protected] mailsize=41 smtpstatus=250 smtpmsg='250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as C3A00A7B7' exitcode=EX_OK
    I will send the NDR from the SMTP server when it arrives (takes a couple of hours) if you'd like to inspect it.
    Maybe ssmtp has a way to insert a From: header automatically, I haven't taken a look at it. Maybe even msmtp has a way to do that, even though I haven't found that option in the man pages.
    What I am trying to say is, if the /usr/bin/mail program cannot be configured to create a valid rfc-compliant email, then using an intermediary mail transport agent like ssmtp would only be a workaround but not a permanent fix. Hence my suggestion to replace mailx with a compliant, working package in the arch core install.
    Any ideas on how to proceed from here?
