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?

  • Cannot send mail "recipient rejected because server does not allow relaying"

    Just went to Verizon store with new Iphone4.  They tried, but didn't help.  I can receive my email, but cannot reply or compose and send msgs.  The message says, "Cannot send mail.  A copy has been place in your Outbox.  The recipient xxxxxx was regejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."  I tried several different email addresses, including my own Verizon account!

    Go into the settings for Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
    Go to the account that's got a problem, and scroll down to "Outgoing Mail Server".
    Touch "SMTP" and make sure the primary server is set to the one you are supposed to be using for your account (you mention Verizon, so it should probably be outgoing.verizon.net).
    Make sure SSL is off and the server is "ON".
    Make sure that your username and password are for your e-mail account are correct.
    Click "Done".
    I'm guessing that at least one of those things I mentioned are not set properly. The error is telling you "yeah, I'm a mail server, but I don't relay mail for just anyone, I need to know who you are".

  • Email recipient is rejected as server does not allow relaying

    Hi there
    I wondered if there is someone that can help me. I have an iphone 3g and have my aol email account set up on the phone. It was working fine before I went away on holiday but since I have returned I am unable to send emails as iit keeps saying that the recipient has been rejected as the server does not allow relaying.
    I did not use my phone while I was away except for texting so didn't change any settings. I have read through similar questions and have tried all of different things suggested (turning off wifi, although it was never on wifi it was using 3g), making sure that both the primary server and the other SMTP servers are set as on and the details are filled out but still nothing works.
    Originally it was only set up with the primary server ticked as on and I never had a problem with it. I've also tried turning the phone off and on again several times and tried the power off and holding down the home key at the same time.
    Is there any one who could offer some further advice as it would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Sam

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT1430 I receive emails but when I try to send emails, I get a box that says that the "recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

    I can receive emails over AOL but cannot send them. When I do, I get a box that says "recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

    That's because you did not enter your screen name and password for the outgoing (SMTP) mail server on the phone. Or if you did they got erased. Go to Settings for the account and enter them.

    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.
