Cannot send 100 emails since "Yahoo" upgraded

Once a month I have to send the same email to 100 group members from Thunderbird. I have done this for 4 years, but since "upgrading" to Yahoo last week I cannot. Message received is "http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html " Three times I have filled in the BY Yahoo form with no response. Googling this not uncommon problem I see the usual recommendation is to change the IP which I have managed to do, but still cannot send out this message. I believe the block is there because a friend's email address book was compromised - by completeing the scam BT email ironically - so my address has got caught up somehow in this. I can send and receive single emails but not the 100 I must send out. Yahoo have told me that there is a block of around 200 but certainly not the 100 I want to send. Anyone any ideas please?
PS I have run a full Anti-Virus and Malware check.

An update. Having sent 4 emails over past week I rang and had several conversations of half an hour with Delhi. Although I was sure it was BT and not Thunderbird they changed the password, switched me back to the old "Classic" Yahoo and fiddled around all to no avail. All they could suggest was I send in batches of 25 which is not the solution. BT admitted I was not alone and that there is no daily limit, contradicting the info given to me last week (200). By transferring my address book by .LDIF file I can send from my wife's laptop - different email address but still with BT - and also with Thunderbird. I am convinced there is some sort of block on my email but BT cannot resolve problem. I was also told that the help line no. only deals with xxxxx.btinternet.com problems not xxxxx.btopenworld.com which is my email but could not give me anther tel no. Another annoying thing is that when I quote the "confirmation reference no." BT Delhi cannot trace it which means I have to repeat the whole saga over again. Their systems are a mess.
Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Sorry I missed your first post, I was going to reply.
There actually is a limit of 100 emails in any one batch, and has been for a number of years. It used to be 200 before then (but that is well over 5 years ago). I used to send similar amounts for a sports group and send in two goes back then due to the limit of 100. This batch applies to smtp sending from a mail client program such as Thunderbird, I'm not sure if 200 may apply to any webmail type access.
btinternet.com and btopenworld.com are interchangeable email addresses and effectively the same, apart from logging into external systems that you may have chosen one or the other.
I have seen this silly blocking system before, but it's frankly ridiculous due to the other restrictions in place.
Changing password and altering to Classic mail is actually tryng to guess the problem as it is 100% not that at all. The upgrade has nothing to do with this problem, as you are using a mail client.
It does seem like something has thought that your sending is falling foul of any spam interrogation system. Is your list actually 100 in size ?
You could try spliiting it into 2 and having 50 each and try to send to see what happens. I agree it's not a solution but may help in the initial stages, and then next month you could say move 25 into one of the batches to make it 75/25 and so on.

Since upgraded phone to 2.0, cannot send out email

I recently upgraded my iphone to 2.0 (mistake!) and now cannot send out email from my iphone. I have tried deleting all my email accounts and re-setting it up on my iphone rather than syncing with my computer but it still will not send out email. I can send out email from my computer and used the same settings for both...

Also having mixed success sending mail on the iPhone, which is disappointing because I haven't had to send a lot of messages. Out of about 6 attempts, I've had two replies completely disappear. They weren't sent, they weren't in the outbox to send later. They just disappeared. One was while on my home network, the other was while I was traveling. I am very bothered that the emails aren't saved to try and send later.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

I cannot send the email to the printer using my hotmail account.

I got HP laserjet pro M1536 printer which have an eprint capability but i cannot send the mails to the printer by using the hotmail account and even tried using others hotmail account but in vain. I can send the emails thru yahoo and gmail accounts they worked but not yahoo. Can anyone solve this issue?

For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from completing.
a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to reattach to the cloud.
b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

CANNOT SEND ANY EMAILS!!!!

Hi,
I finally downloaded the desktop manager last week and backed up my berry (after a year!). At the same time it updated my system to a newer version. Since then, my battery life is greatly diminished (one day only) and I cannot send ANY emails. I can send text messages, but not emails. I select "send" and the email just sits there. I also can't select "save draft". I can only select "delete", but then it warns me that I haven't saved (which is so annyoing, since I can't save!!) Help!!!!!

Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Now try sending an email again. If still no lunck:
On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

Cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

I have a Mobile Me email account which works perfectly on my Mac and iPhone. I created a an Alias Mobile Me Account on the web.
I am able to create a new email from the alias account on the Mac.
The iPhone will not recognize the alias account, I cannot add it or sync the account.
I cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

To all frustrated MobileMe alias owners who want to send email from iPhone - please go to the feedback area of the apple.com and leave messages regarding this issue. I had a lengthy conversation with a tech support guy who agreed that this is a needed fix - he said to initiate a grass roots effort - and that by all of us leaving messages it will eventually get attention and fixed. Why would Apple give us the ability to create alias's, use them on mobileme website, on our mac mail programs, but NOT the iPhone, which is the MOBILE device. Silly. Please protest!! Thanks.

I cannot send an email from my iphone

I have entered all of the information for my in-coming and outgoing server into my iphone 4s. However, I cannot send an email and the message reads as follows "The sender address XX.net was rejected by the server.

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

I have a large PDF that I cannot send via email because of its size, 76 MB. How do I shrink this file or convert it to another format so I can email this, less than 20MB? Thanks for your help

Open the file in Preview and select "Save as..." from the File menu. Select "Reduce File Size" from the Quartz Filter menu and save. The size probably won't be reduced enough, though. You may have to split the file into several parts and mail them separately. Or upload it to a web server and send the link.

TS1398 My email (hotmail) is frozen. I cannot send the email I just finished typing.

My email (hotmail) is frozen. I cannot send the email I just finished typing. I have turned my iPad off, I finished a sync and powered wi-fi off and on. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Quit the mail app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or if needed, reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.

TS3276 I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

I had this problem too but I fixed it today.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.
