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 mail via mail

Greetings O Wise Ones,
The smtp setting are correct. I can receive mail. The mail app was working fine one minute and the next I couldn't send mail. Tried a new smtp and it didn't work either, Created a new login user and new mail. The smtp work with the new user but not with the old one. Any ideas that don't delete the com.apple.mail.plist? If that's the only way. How do I save my mail boxes?

This is happening to my wife's Leopard 10.5.8 upgraded machine right now.
We've been using Apple Mail for years and it works, but suddenly stopped working
and refuses to send mail via any SMTP server at all. It just spins forever and eventually
complains it can't.
The account is configured to send via comcast (smtp.comcast.net), DSL (smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com), and gmail, as choices. Two of them require authentication, Comcast doesn't require authentication, only that the e-mail be sent via the Comcast cable router, which it is.
I've tried removing the SMTP accounts and carefully re-adding, removing the Gmail IMAP mail account itself in Apple Mail and re-adding, and even moving aside the /Users/<user/Library/Mail folder so it can be re-added. I've even used the sqlite3 index vacuum command.
On my own Mac Pro, 10.5.8, I'm able to send e-mail, but on the notebook mail is wedged up for good and it seems to be associated with the upgrade. I am now re-installing 10.5.8 from the 'combined' download, and I'll see if it fixes it. What a hassle.

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.

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:

Unable to send mail via Secure SMTP

Our email system allows users access to their accounts via secure IMAP and SMTP.
I am able to connect and view my inbox via secure IMAP, using a number of different S60 devices - namely E72, E52 and 5800.
However I am unable to connect to send via secure SMTP.
By contrast, I am able to view and send mail with Apple and Android devices without any problems.
On my comparable UAT configuration the S60 devices do not have this problem.
On UAT, we use a self-signed certificate, as opposed to the Live system which uses a Verisign certificate.
Help, please!
I'd like to be able to send mail with my S60 devices.
How can I resolve this apparent problem with the certificate?
Echo

An Update of sorts.
On my E72 I removed all references to Verisign under: Ctrl. panel -> Settings -> General -> Security -> Certificate management -> Authority certificates. (There were about 6 entries)
I tried to connect afresh, but the phone took two attempts to pick up my password for email.
I now have a 'Trusted site certificate' for the email server.
However, I still can't send. A message pops up 'Unable to send message: <target address>'

Can't Send Mail with Same Outgoing Server

I have 2 Roadrunner accounts that use the same outgoing smtp server. In order for me to send email (receiving POP email is not a problem), I have to set the outgoing server for port 25, no SSL and no authentication. I can get one of the accounts to work. But, when I try to set up the 2nd roadrunner account with the same settings on the same outgoing server, I get an error from OSX mail telling me the following:
"Could not save the changes
The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
Can someone help me figure out how to get around this? I'd really like to send mail from my accounts.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but can't you have both accounts use the same SMTP server? If you're still trying to create the second account using the account creation wizard, I'd try giving it dummy SMTP information, then change it to use the real SMTP server once the account is created.

Can't send mail via iCloud with my iMac after creating a new account

Hi,
yesterday I created my account on Icloud.
I've Lion on my Imac, so I registered the account directly from settings on my Imac.
Now I can receive mail, but I can't send them, because the imap smtp server won't recognize my password.
If I access on icloud.com, I can do everything correctly.
Thank you for your support.
<Email Edited by Host>

It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've aasked the Hosts to remove it.
The first thing to try would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, then sign back in again and check 'Mail' and any other data types you need in the list. This will set Mail up, hopefully correctly.
If you are still having problems accessing or sending mail go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password, making sure that it complies with Apple's requirements: at least eight characters, of which at least one must be a numeral and one a capital letter.
Note that iCloud does not interact with any other email service. You cannot use it to check other email accounts, and you cannot send using its smtp server with any address other than your @me.com one as the 'From' address.
You should be able to set up other accounts separately in the Mail application: these would be unaffected by iCloud in any way.

Can't send mails (POP account/SMTP)

Okay, this issue has been posted before, but none of the difficulties or possible solutions described seemed to match my problem, which is:
When I click the "send" button in Mail, it simply does *nothing at all*. It doesn't even seem to try to do anything, let alone give me an error message.
I used to have an iBook with OS X 10.2, and Mail has always worked perfectly fine on that system. Now I just bought a new iBook with Tiger installed. I first updated to 10.4.6, then transferred all my data, including my mail settings and mailboxes, to the new computer, with the result that I can receive mail, but I can't send e-mails. I tried deleting my account and creating a new one, but that didn't change anything. I can send e-mails through my provider's webmail system, so the SMTP server isn't broken down; anyway, my husband is using the same server, and he can send mails, so I guess it's somehow an issue with my computer and not with the provider. My account settings are definitely correct. I can "ping" the mail server. I tried deactivating my firewall, but that wasn't the solution either.
What else could I try? My outgoing mail server is an ordinary port 25 password-protected SMTP server. I strongly suspect that the problem is with 10.4.6, but I'm not exactly keen on the hassle of downgrading my system back to 10.4.5 or whatever... Or is there an easy way to do that?
Any other ideas? I'd be really grateful. Not being able to send mails *****.

Hi Johanna,
Have you tried the Activity Viewer? (Window > Activity Viewer in the menu.) Try sending an email, and see if any error message appears in the Activity Viewer window after you click "Send".

Can't Send Mail - "Address rejected by server"

I cannot send mail as of last night. I have browsed these forums and come close to an answer, but not quite. Here are my particulars:
Mail app.
.Mac email address
Rogers Highspeed for ISP (but only a .Mac address)
And here's what happened:
Tried to send a bulk email, 189 persons, with a picture attachment (150 kb) And since then (last night) have not been able to send. Message I get is as follows:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server."
So I tried to change ports from 25 to 587, and back.
I deleted the Account, twice, and added it again.
Checked the SMTP server lists.
Deleted the apple.plist
Deleted the Mail cache
Connection Doctor 2 green lights
I understand it has something to do with a Spam blocker, but I only use .Mac for my email, I have no other account. So I don't know how to change the smtp server to an account I don't have.
My ISP is Rogers, (Canada) their SMTP address is smtp.rogers.broadband.com; Mail won't connect to this server.
So what else can I do? I also received a 4.0.0. message saying I exceeded my 400 senders in a 24 hour period, but I only sent less than 200, and it's been more than 24 hours by now.
Thanks for your help;
D.

Just a crazy shot in the dark, but could you change your smtp settings for the .mac account? (I'm guessing mail.mac.smtp or something... I have no experience with .mac personally).
Normally, from what I understand, a lot of ISP prefer there own smtp settings (smtp.yahoo.com) which I would normally say to try, but obviously you are doing that with Roger.
Can you quickly set up an email account with Roger? your paying for that aren't you?
If not that, delete the outgoing mail box items. Start over...Selecting under 200 (click on one name, and "shift"down about 200? I guess) drag and drop into the email "To"... then do that again tommorow.
Other than that, all I can think of is getting your own .com/net/org or something, thru a Web Host Provider that allows that much out going mail.
Personally, I'm not so sure of the purpose of getting a .mac account... there seems to be too many limitations on what you can do with it, as opposed to just getting your own .com or .net account

Sending mail regardless of SMTP-server.

Hallo
A lot of my friends who - unfortunantely uses PC - can send mail regardless of where they are situated and they dont have to change there SMTP-settings. I´ve tried to make it work by making the same settings as I use for outgoing mail and asked my mac use my password. But it doesnt work:-(... Can anybody explain this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Mikkel

Thank you VERY much for your reply.
The message that appears when I send something is:

You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.

Later today I will try to follow the procedure you suggested and post a reply.
F.Y.I., I previously changed the settings needed by my previous server to ones required by Comcast.

Send mail without local SMTP server

Hey guys,
Are there any API packages, that one can use with Java mail API to encode a mail to SMTP and send to receipent mail host directly. (without using a local SMTP server)
I am not talking abt bulk mailer packages. Just an API package that we can program to.
Appreciate your help guys
thanx !

Ex: I want to write a simple SMTP client.
But i don't want the user to have to input a smtp server address.This is similar as if you wanted to write a simple browser - without wanting to bother the user to provide the URL's to browse!
There is no "default mail host". Can not be generally - the network situations can be considerably different. One box is a standalone one with maybe a modem link, the other is on a LAN, the third one is a multi-address host itself bridging a LAN and a WAN etc.
De nada.

Sending mail with new SMTP server

I recently switched from a tel.internet provider to COMCAST cable.
I want to use my MAIL program, but each time I try to send mail, a box appears on my screen showing my old provider. I then have to click and the mail goes out.
I have reset my COMCAST settings properly. COMCAST says it is a Apple computer setting problem. What steps do I have to take to get my MAIL to work properly?

Yahoo mail via mac- smtp server authentcation issues using Rogers ISP

Hi All,
I know there is tons of comments posted here that are quite redundant in respects to using yahoo mail via mac. I am in Toronto using Rogers as ISP and have set up my pop ok - incoming mail is ok. I try to send a test email and i am getting the message
Cannot send message using the server smtp.mail.yahoo.com
The server response was: authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html
I hav tried all kinds of stuff here based on suggestions i have read in this forum.
incoming mail server- pop.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing mail server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
server settings- port 587- have also tried 25
ssl not checked
authentication is not checked
i have tried smtp.rogers.broadband.com as an alternative also, but then it simply rejects my authentication password
I am really stuck here- if anyone out there in Toronto area using Rogers, has any feedback, i greatly welcome it.
Hope to hear from you.

No. not SSL.
Server authentication.
And i don't think you need to add a password there. You are already sending password from the POP settings - SMTP authentication picks up password from there.
This is from the help file at rogers.com (your ISP?)
http://help.yahoo.com/help/rogers/mail/pop/pop-15.html
Are you sure that using these settings don't work?
This is for Outlook Express for Mac, but your Mail settings should be close enough to find the appropriate boxes.
If your friend is on rogers yahoo, just duplicate her settings except in the address/password boxes.
Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile, so you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Rogers Yahoo! Mail messages. To set this up, follow these steps:
1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Click the "Add" button.
4. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
5. In the Display Name text box, type your name, and then click "Next."
6. In the email address box, enter your full Rogers Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]).
7. In the Incoming (POP3) box, type:
pop.broadband.rogers.com
8. In the Outgoing (SMTP) box, type:
smtp.broadband.rogers.com
9. Click "Next."
10. In the Account Name box, type your full Rogers Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]).
11. In the Password box, type your Rogers Yahoo! Mail password.
12. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, then check the box.
13. Do not check the "Log on using secure password... " box.
14. Click "Next."
15. Click "Finish."
To control deletion of messages from the Rogers Yahoo! Mail Server, follow these steps:
1. From the Tools menu, choose "Account."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click on your Rogers Yahoo! Mail account.
4. Select the "Options" tab.
5. In the Server Options section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of each message on the server" if you want to save your Rogers Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Rogers Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you would prefer to have your messages deleted from the Rogers Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook Express, do not check this box.
To change your default SMTP port settings:
1. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
2. On the Mail tab, click your Internet Mail account, and then click Edit.
3. On the Account Settings tab, click Click here for advanced sending options, and then type 587 as the port number for your SMTP (or sending) mail.

Can't send mail via airport express

I'm trying to set up an airport network for my Mom. She has a MacBook running 10.6.1 and Roadrunner is her ISP. I have the cable modem attached via ethernet cable to the airport express (BTY, I tried my airport extreme and have the same problem). I can use the internet and can retrieve mail but I CANNOT SEND MAIL. Everything else including the printer woks fine on the network. RoadRunner support verified that my network and e-mail account settings are correct. They claim it is an issue with the Mac. Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions!
You didn't mention this in your post,but I assume that you have power cycled the network, correct?
If not, power everything down for a few minutes. Start the modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes alone. Then start the Airport Express and let it run 2-3 minutes and finally your printer and computers. Any help?
If not, and you have a good internet connection, it is a question of settings or the mail application itself. What mail application are you using?
