Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Cannot Send Mail-recipient was rejected because it does not allow relaying

iPod 4g - Cannot Send Mail - The recipient was rejected because it does not allow relaying. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?

Do you have more than one mail account on the iPod? The Mail app usually is set up to use alternate outgoing SMTP serves if the primary (the one associated with the accout you are sending from) is not available. Some providers do not allow sending mail from other the the account associated with that server. It appears that the primary server is not responding and a secondary server is rejecting the messag.
Try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Do other devices send mail from that accout?

Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

I try to 4 message keeps coming back recipient was rejected by server because it does not allow relaying what can i do to rectify this

i try to send e.mail off iphone 4 and message keeps coming back" recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

This means that you did not enter a valid user ID and/or password for the Outgoing (SMTP) mail server when setting up the account. You must enter information for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers; they are separate settings.

Can receive but can't send mail via BT Yahoo SMTP server port 995

Suddenly I can't send mail from my BT/Yahoo account but can still receive mail. The message that i get is that it was rejected by the server. I have not changed the server - it is still SMTP via port 995, using SSL. Help!! Why should this have ocurred out of the blue and what do I do?

Hi Dancing Brave,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article if you are not able to send mail:

Try to send email on my iphone 4s. I get email error: "Recipient was rejected buy server". How do I correct?

I have a iphone 4S. When I try to send email I get error message:"recipient rejected by server". How do I correct

Enter your user ID and pasword for the OUTGOING mail server as well as the incoming mail server.

Recipient e-mail address was rejected by server - how do i sort?

Second e-mail account on my i-pad can't send e-mails due to addresses being rejected by the server

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Can't send mail but connection doctor says server is ok

I changed my MS Exchange username from [email protected] to [email protected] but my email address remains [email protected] So I changed my account settings (I have the exchange account set up as IMAP. I can receive messages but I cannot send. I have checked the settings a thousand times, they are correct. The funny thing is the connection doctor says my outgoing mail server connection is good "Connection and login to server succeeded", but when I try to send send a mail I get "Unable to send mail, check x y z" I don't remember the error exactly because now the send button is just grayed out when I try to send from that account.

I installed Eudora and imported my mail settings from Apple Mail. I did NO entry of the server settings, it came directly from Apple Mail. I can send from Eudora but I cannot send from Apple Mail. Go figure.

Solved: Can't send mail using non AT&T server when have ATT DSL service

We recently started using a third party for our web hosting and set up a domain with our new web host. Let's call it www.XXXX.com. We have email set up as [email protected] When we set up our Mail on our Mac using XXXX.com we could receive mail but not send it. After a ton of investigations and hours with ATT support we were told we were going to have to subscribe to ATT email hosting.
I did more research and found that ATT (and other ISPs) block outgoing email ports to not allow you to use other outgoing servers. This is to stop spam bots.
To fix this I logged into ATT/Yahoo email using our base DSL account (i.e. [email protected]). From there I went into the email options and added [email protected] as an account. When I did this, ATT/Yahoo sent to us a verification email and we verified the code that was in the email. This verified that our XXXX.com was legitimate and that we did want to use this as an outgoing email account. That fixed it and our Mac mail is now being sent via our [email protected] email address.
Hope this may solve problems others may have when they set up their Mail and can send but not receive email.

I have heard that 587 must be SSL but I have 3 accounts using that port and SSL is not selected.
Do you know what would cause the sending to be slow or intermittent? Yesterday one time it actually sent one of my tests that has been in cue. Since then It will not send. It just spins for a minute then gives me a message that I need to check settings or use another SMPT.

Suddenly can't send mail

I have often received the alert box that the selected server can not send the mail and I have to change the server,or wait, or restart mail to get it to work. This is annoying, but I have dealt with it (although I'd like to know what's going on). But, now, it seems I can't send mail at all, from any server, with a restart or otherwise. It's been happening for the last day.
Can anyone lend a hand? Is it a problem with Apple? I've chosen a variety of different servers (I have many e-mail accounts set up). I've relaunched. Tried to send from various e-mail addresses (although my .mac is my default). No luck.
Thanks for the help,
J.

We have the same problem here and for a few weeks we've resorted to signing in to a browser email program as mac mail's password isn't recognized by the server.

I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. How can I fix this error so I can send emails.

The issue definitely sounds like your Outgoing/SMTP settings need to be changed. Simply set them to the proper settings for your provider as was suggested above.
I found this link for Knology: http://support.knology.net/content/email.setup.cfm
The SMTP settings can be edited on the iPad/iPhone by going to Settings--> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, edit the account having trouble, click the Account, then at the bottom is the SMTP server info, click on it to edit it further.
It should allow you to edit the primary smtp server and let you enter all the good stuff as you see in the Knology link above.
Some providers require you to register your account on their service like AT&T.
