Cannot send Email "The recipient "..." was rejected by the server."

Hi,
I have a quite usual problem by sending Emails from my IPad. As written in the title each recipient is rejected by the server. Everything works fine with my Gmail account but now I also added my webmail account and got that problem. I double checked all settings and the username and password for the outgoing SMTP server are (at least I think these are) correct filled in. I am not sure if the inserted data are the required ones but I tried some surely wrong and then the athentification failed. Therefor I assume that what I filled in are the correct data. Also the SMTP Server is turned on.
Thanks for help!

most of the time , this problem is caused by the incorrect settings of the outgoing server in your mail account. Contact your internet provider and ask them for the correct setting of the outgoing server in your mail account

I have a macbook (late 2011). I have a yahoo and gmail act.'s configured wrong in mailbox. Every time I attempt to send, the email comes back stating that yahoo cannot send with the server. I have changed things around to no avail. Please advise.

I have a macbook pro (late 2011) OS X Yosemite 10.10. I have 2 acct.’s set up in mailbox, Yahoo and Gmail, but it will not send. The message comes back stating that Yahoo cannot ‘send using the server’....I have manipulated things around but to no avail. Both acct.’s receive, but will not send. Can someone provide some answers? Thanks.

Hi whineyfromleessummit,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're not able to send email from Yahoo or Gmail on your MacBook Pro.
There could be several causes of the behavior. I would start with the troubleshooting steps in the "Mail Connection Doctor shows one or more red dots in the account Status column" section of this article:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
This article contains a variety of steps that can help resolve an issue like the one you're seeing.
All the best,

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name + Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

Cannot Send Mail, the server rejected one of the recipient's addresses.

I receive mail just fine. Can't send anything

Interesting to read all your posts, as I too have had this issue with my BRAND NEW Wi Fi 3G 64 GB ipad. Everything worked perfectly well with wireless at home, then we left for a trip interstate. First night I tried to send three emails and received the message that the server had rejected one of the recipients and the messages had been placed into the out box. Most annoying, as the out box is not accessible. I phoned apple and, after much discussion, it was suggested I call my ISP (BigPond). Another lengthy discussion and it was noted that there were no messages in my out box on the server, therefore the issue was with the ipad. I downloaded gmail and was able to receive and send emails using that program. Was also able to access my emails via Big Pond's web mail. It was just the mail program on the ipad that continuously looped back to the same error message. I deleted the account and decided to ask for a refund on the ipad. Back home, I have reinstalled mail to my Big Pond account and all seems to be working well. Am not sure what to do next, as I will be very disappointed if this keeps happening. The ipad is an expensive investment and I want to be able to use it to its fullest extent. Otherwise, I love apple products and am a apple user of more than two decades.
Good luck all.

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.

Cannot get email - the server is not responding, when I check it is correctly setup - any advice?

Can anyone give me pointers as to how I can overcome this issue?

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 email from my Touch (connection to smtp server fails)

Hello,
I have a new iPod Touch with 1.1.4 and the January apps. I am having a problem setting the Mail application.
I am trying to connect to the IMAP/SMTP servers at my university. I am using the exact same settings and passwords I use on my laptop, which works fine. I can receive email fine on my Touch, but every time I try to send one it fails tellings me "the connection to the outgoing server smtp.myuniversity.edu failed".
If I on purpose write a wrong password for the outgoing mail, the error message I get is different ("check the account settings for the outgoing server smtp.myuniversity.edu").
The university IT people confirmed my settings, and told me that there is nothing blocking any handheld device from using the server.
Does anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks,
Marcelo

Thank you very much for your responses
1) the link to mail setup is (sorry, it's quite long)

2) I am indeed using SSL, as instructed by IT
3) I do use port 587 instead of 25 (25 does not work either)
Any ideas? Thanks again.

I downloaded IOS 6 a week ago and just last night the server connection fails when I try to send an email. I tried deleting and recreating the email account several times, but it still doen't work. Any ideas?

Are you using yahoo? If so, wait it out. Yahoo has had a lot of issues lately and you just have to wait for them to fix it.

UPerform assessment results - cannot send to the server

Hi there
I am having an issue with collecting the assessment results from a lesson.
The code in the Template expects a url of http:
localhost and the results.asp file needs to be created here BUT this means that all users machines have to have IIS installed. Surely not?
I have installed IIS on my machine and have had to create a results.asp file but am not sure what code needs to be in the file? Should it be a re-direction to the uPerform server?
OR should I change the url to my uPerform server? If so where do I direct it too on the server?
What I need to do is allow users to take an assessment, fillin their username and submit their results to be captured on the uPerfrom server.
We do NOT run an LMS at present but will install SAP LS next year; for now I need to capture the results in excel and then use an LSMW to upload into Training & Events.
I am using uPerfrom 4.3 patch 2 but will have to upgrade to patch 3 for another issue.
I have raised an OSS that is with now with Ancile in Germany.
Any ideas most welcome.
Regards
Carl Cavendish-Davies

I was able to fix it by reseting the agent via
/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/utils/config_agent.py
I set
allow: all
deny: none
(reset the password)

TS3276 I cannot send mail. the server keeps asking for my password/user id for IMAP

Is there a way to have no passwords for either e-mail accounts.
Why am I continuously prompted for my IMAP and I do not know what that password is.

Who is the provider of this email account? It can be very hard to distinguish between a PW prompt instigated by the Incoming server vs the Outgoing server. What are the recommended ports to use for each from this provider?

I cannot downlaod email the server is wrong. how do i change incoming serve

how do i change the incoming server from a imap to pop

Also, if you are talking about when you first set it up, there is a brief time during your set up of a new mail account when there is going to be a check if your account is valid (it's right after you put in your Name, Email Address), it seems like it is setting it up for you, but it is not. By default it will show the IMAP button settings, but all you need to do is hit the POP button right next to the IMAP button and then continue on with your settings, both pop and smtp account settings...pop server address...etc. It can look like the iPhone is trying to actually set things up for you but it's not. Hope this helps.

Cannot send email user name or password is incorrect

I have an iPhone 3Gs with 6.1.6 iOS software and gmail. Until last week I could receive and send emails on my phone. Last week I tried to email a photo from my iPhone and received the following message "Cannot send email the user name or password is incorrect". About 30 minutes later I received an email message from google accounts with a sign-in attempt blocked message. Since then I have not been able to send an email from my phone. Every time I try to send an email I get the "User name or Password for Gmail is incorrect" - message. I changed passwords but that didn't help. I can receive emails on my phone but I can't send them. The only way I can send email is by clicking on the less secure apps button on the google accounts settings page.. Why do I get this message now and how can I get gmail working on my phone like it used to? If I delete my gmail account does it just remove it from the phone where the same account can be reinstalled or is it completely gone for good?

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.
