"Cannot Send Mail" App has the smtp address wrong.

After upgrading my 3GS Iphone to OS 5.0.1, I have been an error msg when trying to send mail:
"Cannot Send Mail" - No password provided for [email protected]
The account is setup properly in settings as "SMTP.Comcast.net"
I have deleted the account and set it up again several times. No luck!
Does anyone else see this error?
Any help?

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.

Getting "Cannot Send Mail - One of the Recipient Addresses was Invalid"

Mail was working fine under version 1. Upgraded my original iPhone to version 2 and couldn't send emails. Get "CANNOT SEND MAIL. ONE OF THE RECIPIENT ADDRESSES WAS INVALID. OK" message whenever I attempt to respond to an incoming email or when sending a new email. Sometimes "Sending" progress bar goes all the way to the end, but I still get this error message and mail is NOT sent. This is still the case after I upgraded to 2.02 HELP!

I have since removed the email account and added it again. I tried this several times and came to the realization that the Apple iPhone software was not setting the account up properly. I saved the account even though I was warned by the software that it was not working properly. I then went ahead and carefully edited all the settings and made sure that they matched EXACTLY with those in MS Outlook. I also set Authentication to Password on both incoming at outgoing servers.
I finally got it working. What a pain!!

Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid

Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid
This is the error message I keep getting on outgoing mail. Incoming mail works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions to try?

You mean you can receive and send messages when you are connected to your wi-fi network at home with your internet service provider as the internet connection for your wireless network at home, but you are unable to send messages with this account when connected to AT&T's cellular network?
If so, this leans toward your email account being provided by your internet service provider.
Most internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide their customers.
You can do one of two things. The iPhone includes AT&T's SMTP server to select as the SMTP server to use for this email account when you are connected to AT&T's cellular network, but you probably won't be able to use AT&T's SMTP server to send with the account when connected to your wi-fi network at home.
Or you can switch to using an email account that provides an authenticated SMTP server. A Gmail account is one, and a MobileMe account is another.

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

Having problems in sending email..always saved in outbox and cannot send bcoz of server failed

The email server you are using to send mail through requires the password, if any is required it needs to be set in the location that I pointed out in the earlier post.
It is usually the same password you use for receiving emails.
I don't use either Facebook or Twitter so I am not sure how to help with those.

The error message that is received is: Cannont Send Mail; A copy has ben placed in your Outbox. The recipient [email protected] was rejected by the server.
Is this a problem in the way the accounts have been set up or with my local email server?

Check the parameters in your email account against what is recommended by your email provider.

Have you contacted the support contact at your email provider?

Will Exchange ever support sending mail from a secondary smtp address?

Most here probably know this but a quick recap:
User has PrimarySMTP address of [email protected] and secondary SMTP of
[email protected] In Outlook, if you set the secondary SMTP address in the "From" field, Exchange will throw an "undeliverable" error stating you're not authorized to send mail as
this user. I know there's
3rd party tools that can help you with this, and ways to circumvent this (using extra accounts or distrigroups) but it's actually really annoying. I've been involved with a lot of companies with different brands (and a domain for each brand) and
who want to communicate with the outside world using these different brandnames. One salesmanager could be involved with different brands and right now you'll have to create a new account or group for each and every brand/domainname.
With every new Exchange one of the first things I check if this behaviour has changed.. Will this ever be implemented? Is there anyone here that could shed some light on that? Is there a reason why this does not change?

Cannot Send Mail error message

Hey guys,
Having a few email issues. When I'm at home, using wifi, it receives and sends perfectly. However, when out of range, and using my telco's 3g etc connection, it receives messages fine, however when I'm sending the messages stay in outbox with a Cannot Send Mail - One of the recipent addresses was invalid message. The address is fine, and i've tried it with multiple addresses with the same messsage. Interesting, mail send with @"my isp" seem to work.
I've got the settings set up with my ISPs outgoing server, and also my Telco's SMTP server too - which I can't change any of the settings in anyway....
Any clues??

The first thing that jumps to mind is that while you're away from your ISP's connection, sometimes they require a different port to be used when sending. This isn't the case all the time but again, it's the first thing that came to mind.
Many ISP's require you to be connected directly to them when sending mail from their account. It's really a security measure on their end but most do offer an alternate port that you can change to which will allow you to send when out and about via 3G or another wifi connection, etc.
It's something to look into. I would contact them or look online for their advanced settings.
Regards,
Brian

Cannot send mail error

All of a sudden I keep getting CANNOT SEND MAIL message. The connection to the smtp.comcast.net server has failed.
I've re-entered the parameters, deleted and re-added the email account, added another server account...nothing works. I can't send mail.

AlexMaeda,
This article has more information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
As for an email provider allowing customers to relay outside of their network, many email providers, set up an authenticating SMTP server on different port. The article above includes information on specifying the port to use.
For example, .Mac accounts can use port 587 as discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75124
You may want to check with your email provider if they offer an authenticating smtp server for people who are traveling or using mobile devices. Many do so without any additional cost, some may charge for access to that service.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Cannot send mail during roaming

Hi,
Just faced a problem with my Torch. When I traveled, I can got the new mails but cannot send mails. All the outgoing mails were pending during roaming and released when back to home town.
The Torch is configured with BES for corporate and personal email, both mail accounts faced same situation. Is it the carrier or the BES issue?
Please advice.
Ryan
PS. Happy new Year

Excellent! A much simpler solution for you than it was for me. I was traveling internationally a lot last year and needed full BIS/BES roaming. As it turned out, it had to be properly configured before leaving my home network yet could only be tested after arriving in the new country. My carrier got it wrong -- twice...leaving me with no roaming service on two trips. After the second one, we escalated to an engineer at my carrier who was finally able to configure it correctly and I've had no roaming problems since (as long as I roam on a network with adequate services, of course).
Cheers!

Hi,
I had the same issue on my iPhone 5S. My internet/email provider told me to uncheck (turn off) USE SSL under Mail settings, and it worked perfectly for me.

IPhone4 when replying or forwarding mail messages i get a message that says Cannot Send Mail address rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

When forwarding mail this is what i get
Cannot Send Mail
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipent _________________(email address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Never had this problem before so not sure whats going on. Appreciate any help out there.

Sounds like there is something wrong with your SMTP server. Try going into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select the email account in question, go to the Outgoing server (SMTP) and check the settings. It may be you do not have a username and password in one of the areas. The phone may say optional in a couple, but it is usually mandatory. You can also try a reset on the device, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If neither of these work, then you will need to delete the account, then delete the SMTP server, then add the account back, ensuring you use your username and password everywhere, even when it says optional.

IPhone 3G Cannot Send Mail. The sender address was invalid.

All of a sudden, I cannot send mail. I get the message "Cannot Send Mail" The sender address was invalid.
I have reset the phone in hopes of resolving the problem. That did not work.
The mail that I'm sending to IS a valid address; I'm trying to RESPOND.
Please help.

The configuration and use of any outgoing server address (SMTP) may not be supported due to several factors including, but not limited to, the inability for the outgoing server (SMTP) to authenticate users (whether by IP or username/password) that are not directly connected to that Internet Service Providers(ISPs) network.
This is usually your HOME wi-fi and you are not connected to it because you are on your iPhone away from the house. This is mainly done to prevent unsolicited users from sending SPAM via the ISP's servers.
An alternative is to use ATT SMTP Server (for US) when you are on the 3G or data network for the carrier and not on your home wi-fi. So enable ATT SMTP server under Other SMTP servers under your Mail's account settings on the iPhone.
If you are interested you can obtain that information directly from the email provider. This article has a great temple that you can use to ask all necessary information from the provider including "If you use your ISP’s own email service (instead of a third-party such as Gmail), sometimes it may not work if you use another Internet access point, such as a cafe with wireless Internet. Ask your email provider if the settings they give you will work on other networks."
