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.

  • 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?

  • My ipad doesn't send emails because it says the server does not allow relaying. What is relaying?

    My ipad doesn't send emails. Message says the server does not allow relaying. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

    Copied from here.
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/01/server-does-not-allow-relaying-email-error-fix/
    How to fix
    If this is an AOL issue, try these: go Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select your AOL.com account > SMTP from the Account Info Page > SMTP from the SMPT Page > make sure that the Server is ON, make sure that the Host Name is smtp.aol.com. Further make sure your username and password are correct and added in the Outgoing Mail server; make sure that Authentication is set to Password and make sure that Server Port is 587
    If this is not an AOL email: go Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts >Account Info > SMPT> turn off primary server, turn on other (e.g. AT&T) SMTP server.
    Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Outgoing mail Server SMTP > Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name and Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

    Hello kathyfromfalcon,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are unable to send email but are still receiving email. In this situation, with the relaying denied alert, I would suggest reading over the attached article and working through the steps provided.

  • 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".

  • HT4519 Why can't I forward some email. It tells me server does not allow relaying

    When forwarding mail i often see can't send server doesn't allow relaying

    Do you see "More Like This" on the right?  The first thread I pulled up contains the solution:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16673009#16673009
    This taken from King Penguin, seems to be the solution:
    Go into your email account's settings : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , tap on the account on the right-hand side, go into Account, then SMTP (under Outgoing Mail Server) and try filling in your email account name and password (they might show as 'optional' at the moment) and see if that helps

  • If I send a BCC email to my address I get ar error message stating the server does not allow relaying.

    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password and see if things work.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    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.

  • When I attempt to reply or forward email, it says my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    When I attempt to forward or reply emails. I get the error message that my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    Some ISPs don't really handle you mail, they pass it off to another pipeline.  That is called relaying.  Some receiving servers will not accept relayed messages, as they are frequently associated with spammers.
    In some cases, I understand aol relays within thier own system, confusing the issue a little.
    Who is you mail provider?  If it is a big name, this should not be an issue.   As a test, if you have an alternate e mail account, like gmail, try to send a message from that account and see if it goes through.

  • Server does not allow relaying

    I recently had to reset everything on my iPad due to iOS 6 upgrade. Now when I try to reply or forward emails from my preferred account (not iCloud ), I receive a note indicating the message could not be sent because the server does not allow relaying. What can I do?

    It happens when I try to reply or forward to anyone.
    I read another discussion string on this and someone indicated to turn off authentication. Mine wasn't on so that was not the problem. However, I selected Authentication to see what was behind it and  mistakenly touched one of the authentication types. Now it will not let me un-select it.
    So now I have two problems. Can u help please???
