Cannot send mail - server rejects address

Anyone know why I get this message half the time when I attempt to send an email, and usually in a day or so the mail will go ahead and send?.. I know the address is a valid email address.

igmackenzie's method is reported by many to work.
However, deleting your mail account will also delete the emails in your Outbox that you are trying to send. This is a problem when you have several in your Outbox, many of which have been carefully crafted.
So before you do so, if you don't want to lose your hard work composing your unsent emails, be sure to copy & paste each one into another application, i.e. Notes.

    How do you know everything is correct? where did you get the instruction? Sometimes the default ports are different on different devices and thus you have to manually change the ports used.

  • 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".

  • Cannot send mail - server does not allow relaying

    I keep getting a sporadic error message on my ipad: "cannot send mail. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying". Sometimes it doesn't happen and the mail sends fine. Sometimes I get the error message but the message then sends later. Sometimes it never sends.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi, I've suddenly encountered this problem.  I have a 1st gen iPad.  I've reset, deleted, re-added, turned on both outgoing servers, added my password--this last doesn't stay in the primary outgoing server field; when I go back in, the password field is filled with the (optional) text again and when I 'click' into the authentication box, the password is no longer checked.  However, these are all filled in the secondary outgoing server, so it shouldn't matter.  Restarted the iPad a couple times.  Using system 5.1.1--I think that's as far as I can go.  Any miracles out there?

    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.

  • Can't send mail - server rejecting

    I have had Mac Mail set up with rochester.rr.com mail for 1 1/2 years. No problems. The only change I made yesterday was I set up a new user on my imac for my wife. We share email account, so I set up Mac mail with the same settings, and it worked fine.
    Now I can receive mail, but not send. The RR people do not use authentication, and use Port 25. The connection doctor communicates with in and outgoing servers fine (green lights)
    I chatted with RR help, and they of course blame apple. I cannot see what could cause this.
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp-server.rochester.rr.com."

    Not sure what fixed it, nut it is now working. In the course of events I deleted the mailbox and lost all mail. I was able to recover using time machine and searching this forum to replace the "mail" folder in my account.
    Another great mystery not solved, but resolved.

  • 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.

  • Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

    Hi,
    Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
    We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
    We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
    Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
    Many Thanks

    This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.
