Cannot send message due to abuse; Error 554

I have been trying to send out emails for 2 days to my church family about a sick member, and I keep getting this message: An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'Urgent Prayer Request!', Account: 'Carolyn Sockwell', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 Transaction failed : Cannot send message due to possible abuse; please visit http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html for more information', Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC6F This is really irritating and has never happened to me in the past. I notified YAHOO and have not heard back. I have been with Bellsouth for years--is it time to get a new provider? How can I get this to stop happening? I send out a devotional to all of my church members each day, too.

same problem.  some spam went out from (ostensibly) my account to a few people - I reported it and now I can't send email.  BUT there's NO WAY to give yahoo the headers of the spam so they can trace it.  They really don't care.And it's not clear if att.com has anything to do with yahoo, so I spent lots of time filling out att.com contact forms only to be told they have nothing to do with this - so why are all the 'conatact us' links to att.  How do I get yahoo??????I need to send this spam so they can find out where it's coming and i need to send email!!!

    Hi,
    I'm suddenly unable to send emails via Thunderbird.  I've not had any problems before; not been doing anything unusual, like sending 200+ emails on the same day; have scanned my PC for trouble (none detected); visited the web address in the message and could see that other ppl have sometimes had the same problem, but no one seems to hear back from yahoo when they try to get resoloution, so I thought I would try here.  Can anyone help? The exact message is: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:  Transaction failed : Cannot send message due to possible abuse; please visit http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html for more information. Please check the message and try again.  

    I use Thunderbird and I have just tried sending a test e-mail, no problem at all. Are you using the right server.

  • "Cannot send message due to possible abuse"

    This error has resurfaced after a month of plague. I now cannot send any emails from Thunderbird, but can receive. I can send webmail via Yahoo which is NOT what I want. Obvioulsy my email address has got caught up in some wretched spammer and BT are blocking it. Googling the above reveals it is a common problem. Last time I changed my IP address but this did not cure it. Ideas most welcome.

    It is almost certainly a server issue of some form affecting some users. I expect the message is being received due to a strange condition being interpreted poorly by the system.
    It will have nothing to do with Classic or Enhanced webmail or anything to do with that, because that does effectively use a different method - also because it has "just" happened with users doing nothing different, that negates anything to do with it.

  • 554 Transaction failed : Cannot send message due t...

    Hello there
    Had a problem with the above about a month ago and had remote techies on m y PC for several hours over two days trying to fix it.  They said it was my PC but in the end it was a yahoo server problem. It's happened again!  However, this time I can receive and send emails but not more than one recipient whereas last time I couldn't send at all.
    I don't have the time or energy to do it all again but, because I work from home, not being able to send emails to several recipients at the same time is a right pain.
    Does anyone from BT/Yahoo know how to fix this without by wasting a whole day with a techie?
    Hoping someone can help.
    Many thanks

    Hi All,
    I got this message last night when trying to send email through BTYahoo. I contacted BT online chat, they were useless and kept saying BT aren't blocking you. Problem is still there tonight. How do I get this solved please.

    Have you done a forum search, its quit a common problem?

  • Cannot send messages this is my error message.

    Sending of message failed.
    The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server p3plcpnl0656.prod.phx3.secureserver.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact the server administrator.

    Well, at least one problem would be the fact that you do not seem to have the correct settings entered;
    if telus is your ISP, your outgoing mail server from telus should have something like smtp.telus.xxx, not pppoe.ca.
    I just checked the telus website and here are the settings for email:

  • "Cannot send message..." dialog stopped describing error in 10.4

    Previous to 10.4, Mail had basically the same "Cannot send message..." dialog box. You know, the one that lets you choose a different server, "Try Again Later" or "Edit Message". Anyway, back in Panther days, it would give you the actual error message, like these for example:
    554 Service unavailable; Client host blocked using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
    550 Invalid recipient: Recipient address rejected
    I suspect it was removed due to how un-consumer-friendly those message can be, but does anyone know of a secret preference or a plist edit I can do to get these back? They are indispensable when troubleshooting.

    Keep me in the loop to, I also like to know these techincal messages that may be helpful to my IT dept in the office; Because of this elimination in v10.4.3, for one period of time my Mail cannot send out external email outside of my office... and we went from "A to Z" trying to figure out what happen, in the end it was a simple change of MAC ID, because the IT dept finally realised I have actually changed my G4 to a G5 (machine upgrade), had those messages be available, it may cut down their time

  • Transaction failed: Cannot send mail due to possible abuse

    For the past two days, I have not been able to send mail from one of my Verizon.net sub-accounts using Mozilla Thunderbird. However I can send mail from the Verizon Yahoo webmail website.
    I get this error message:
    An error occurred while sending mail. Transaction failed: Cannot send mail due to possible abuse; please visit http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html for more information.
    And when I click on "OK" in the message box, this second error message pops up:
    Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again or contact your network administrator.
    When I go to http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html, there is just a generic Yahoo help page, with nothing specific about this problem.

    The possible abuse is likely a 24 hour hold for accounts suspected of sending Spam. Are you still having issues? Also what ports do you have the incoming/outgoing server set to?

  • Error appears: Cannot send message. this message cannot be sent at this time - has been appearing everytime i try to send e-mail for the past week!

    For the past week I have not been able to send both simple and attached messages through my icloud e-mail.
    The error reads: this message cannot be sent at this time.  i have the latest version of Firefox, I have even changed my password in hopes that this would resolve the issue, but alas, it hasn't worked. HELP!

    This is a terrible customer experience for Apple users. I have been dealing with this same issue since April 2012; all used to work just fine and then suddenly -- "Cannot send message" error appears.
    When is Apple going to fix this? I have two iPads and an iPhone but often need to access files from my PC (next time, it'll be a Mac),
    Very frustrating.

  • Getting error message "cannot sign in due to server error"

    Why am I getting error message "cannot sign in due to server error" when I try to sign in to iCloud?

    A software fluke or hiccup perhaps. Try closing the mail app completely, reboot the iPad and see if the message goes away.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that  the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

    I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for.  Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

    Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.

  • Error when sending message: 500 Internal Server Error

    Hi
    IE is not accepting any messages,
    when I try to send the messgae to the IE ( using RWB) i am getting the below error " Error when sending message: 500 Internal Server Error".
    following things what i have noticed.
    1. Pipleline URL is fine, both in the BS of XI and in the RFC destnation which i am maintaing on the  IE admin) URL is  "http://<host>:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry"
    2. SICF all the XI serivess are up and running, i am able to test these service.
    3. The http port is active ( SMICM )
    Pls note the error is  500 Internal Server Error  
    regards
    Nisar

    I think in a simple term 500 can be said as "the request cannot be processed curretnly", these options mentieoned by you are not applicable in my case.
    This generally occurs due to load problem or if you are on an SP less than 12 or even if there is an administration problem---I am on PI7.0 , what are the administration problem you are talking about?
    1 Check Table Space is enough. ---i had installed server recently & very few interface running.
    2 Server licence Date or Time. In this case change system date and restart server.---i have recently installed server.
    3 Check the service pack levels on your XI. If it is obsolete upgrade it with latest versio----Can u explain more on this?
    Try restart the java stack(XI Server) and follwing services.
    com.sapii.af.app ---I am not passing trough Adater framework, so i dont think this service will matters....
    com.sapii.cpa.af.app.---CPA cahe is done sucessfully, as i said i am not passsing through adapter framework.
    basically for a simple HTTP post what might cause 500 error if all necessary services are up and running?

  • "Cannot send message using the server....."

    Hi all,
    Considering the nature of the problem I am about to relate I would have to say at the outset that I would be very very surprised if other people have not come across this problem, so here goes...
    We have around 60 users of Apple Mail from both 10.4 and 10.5, so varying degrees of versions of Apple Mail however most if not all are updated to 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
    We have been plagued with people being frustrated about emails bouncing back with an immediate error which is basically the following...
    "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxx.com:user
    Sending the message content to the server failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below etc etc"
    I am sure a lot of you have seen this error.
    However, it is totally random but I am at the end of my tether with it. It generally revolves around emails with attachments and can be totally random. I was trying to send a screenshot today, very small screenshot, using the Apple-Shift-4 technique, sent the .png file, then saved it out as a .jpg, nothing. Tiny file, around 5k. Got the error above, took it out, sent no problem. Other similar files on the desktop refused to send but a .pdf did. I then thought it might be our server, so sent teh same attachments using my .mac account. Same result and failed to send. Reports from other users in our group show that they too get random results, maybe moving the attachment in the email makes it go, sometimes putting it before your signature, sometimes putting your signature copied and pasted in so many times makes it work, all sorts of methods but all resulting in the same conclusion, Apple Mail can be very unreliable.
    We have even migrated some users to Entourage and the problem disappears. Even to Thunderbird, but those users miss the search capability as it is quicker and more reliable. So they want to go back.
    Considering I have been struggling with this issue back in the day when we were on the Apple Mail related version in 10.4 I was hoping that the version released in 10.5 would remedy the problems. Sometimes I feel it has just got worse.
    Is anyone else experiencing this sort of difficulty in Apple Mail, I really feel isolated and at a loss with how to remedy this for so many users.
    If anyone can share their experiences and how they have got around similar issues in Mail I am all ears and open to any suggestions.
    Thanks everyone for taking the time to read through this. There is more but the experiences are so random it is not worth trying to put it all down.
    Thanks again.

    I went in to Connection Doctor and. oddly enough, for this Mac account it said I was on Port 25. Si I changed it to Port 587 and saved the changes.
    Still, I have the same problem with the same error messages.
    I go back to the mail preferences > Accounts > Advanced and it shows Port 143 still there grayed out.
    What about SSL - it's not checked.
    Odd that this problem only seems to be from one .mac account emailing to another .mac account. Could the server be down?

  • Cannot send message using the server (null)

    i use mail 2.1.
    i have a .mac account and have three other email accounts attached to my mail account.
    lately, i cannot send any email.
    the switchiing ports fix hasn't helped either.
    this is the error message:
    CANNOT SEND MESSAGE USING THE SERVER (null)
    The server response was: 5.1.0 <email [email protected]>...
    From address does not match authentication.
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
    Message from: email <[email protected]>
    Send message using: [there is a combo box here with all the four accounts servers listed]
    no matter which one i pick it doesn't work and no email is sent.
    anyone have this error before? or now how to fix it?
    i'd be appreciative.
    thanks

    I was having a similar problem (don't feel like typing all the details)
    I was about to to delete my com.apple.mail.plist, when finally it hit me.
    I ran ethereal (again, I'm sorry, but learning how to use ethereal is a topic unto itself). Following the TCP stream (ie. looking at the smtp messages being sent back and forth) I came across two problems. For some reason my port number was set to 567 or something like that, when it's supposed to be 25, as I had originally set it to.
    Once I corrected the port number I started receiving an error message from the smtp server. It said the return email address could not be authenticated. (using xyz.com as an example) The correct return email address was supposed to be [email protected], but for some reason it was changed to john@xyz in the account settings.
    Anyway, to get to the point, another thing to check is that your return address has been set correctly, and if all else fails, make sure you have X11 installed and use fink to install and run ethereal. This will let you know if you are actually connecting to the server, and will show you any error messages.
    PS. I think this problem started occurring with the last update made to mail. I believe it somehow corrupted my settings. This would explain how my port number could have been changed to the default port number of .mac mail.

  • " ! Cannot send message - Message has no valid recipient "

    Android version 4.4.4
    Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
    When I use the pre-installed Messaging app I get the following error message for some but not all contacts
    " [!] Cannot send message
     Message has no valid recipient "
    I can't work out what is is about the contacts that results in the error but today I had the error when trying to text to an iPhone and a Blackberry. Just to be clear, some contacts produce that error message every time; some contacts work properly every time.
    It's becoming more than a little frustrating and at the moment I'm wondering why did I not just get another iPhone?
    Anyway, all suggestions gratefully received...

    It gets a bit weirder.
    Taking the contact I tried to text earlier:
    If I go to the contacts app, and select the messaging icon next to his mobile number, the text message which I compose is sent properly.
    If I open the messaging app, select write new message and select his name, the text is not sent and the error message appears.
    It's not at all satisfactory.
