External SMTP server, From address

I have googled a good number of postings about this but just couldn't quite find the right solution. Surely this can't be that hard. Running Leopard, here's what I'm trying to do:
Use Mail to read & send emails from my work server as well as my .Mac account.
Easy enough, you would think. Sorry if this is too obvious but I'm a new Mac devotee (though this has rocked my boat a bit!). So, here are the problems I've encountered:
1) Tried to add an External Server to MobileMe. Problem: Can't my external address as reply-to
2) Tried to add the account to Mail. The SMTP server doesn't seem to want to take the password that I know works for Outlook and keeps the account "Offline". When I try to send an email using this in the From, it gives me the outgoing email error, allows me to edit or select servers. Selecting it again gives the same erorr.
3) Tried to just use the default Mac SMTP server for this external account, but still get an error when trying to send.
Please help me get the right solution!
Thanks,
R

The MobileMe .mac/.me smtp can only be used when sending from a MobileMe address, and not any others.
What is the source of the SMTP you are trying to use with the other account? What Port are you presenting that SMTP on, and how have you selected to authenticate it?

Mailer object error message "SMTP: invalid from address. SMTP error 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. d5sm35857280yhl.19".

I am trying to send an email from Lookout V6.6 using the Mailer object. I have an email address setup through GMAIL and have verified it works. Also, Lookout Mailer object is able to verify GMAIL server. I get the following error message when trying to send the email: "SMTP: invalid from address. SMTP error 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. d5sm35857280yhl.19". Anyone know what is causing this?

Another method is to use a SMTP relayer, we have deployed them in the past.

Unity Connection 9.1 - SMTP Send from Address

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the SMTP sent from address and alias when receiving a VM in Outlook?
For example I receive VM's from an account alias of "Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System" and I would like to change this. It looks like it is linked to a local account configured on the Connection box with an alias of UnityConnection. The fields are greyed out and i'm not able to edit them directly, the only field that I wish to edit is the display name.
I am reluctant to delete the account and re-create one of my own using the same alias in case emails stop being sent. Has anyone any ideas or experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Phil

Yes it can be different than the OS domain. Secretly CXN is a Postfix mail server so this is essentially configuring the domain of the subscribers' mailboxes. As it will warn you though there are several service-impacting daemons that MUST be restarted after making the change.
As you mentioned, the networking guide does require unique SMTP domains per-cluster. This is because most of the inter-cluster traffic occures over SMTP, including message delivery. I typically recommend a semi-human friendly nomenclature such as:
na.voicemail.domain.com
emea.voicemail.domain.com
apac.voicemail.domain.com

[EWS][C#] Seding mail from Gmail using external SMTP server to map emails to corporate Exchange server (using EWS only)

I'm using my Gmail account as a aggregator for many email accounts and for sending using my customers SMTP servers.
Unfortunately one of my clients doesn't support sending emails from public internet by SMTP.
The only way to send emails is using their OWA or EWS and Gmail support SMTP only :-(
My idea is to customize any simple SMTP server in C# (ex.
http://www.lumisoft.ee/lswww/eng/products/mail_server/mail_index_eng.aspx?type=download) and add feature "SendMailByEWS"
I have working demo for sending simple mail, but this solution is not complex. There are many pitfalls, like mail with CC:,BCC, attachments, parsing raw email, etc.
Any ideas to simply solve this issue?
Thank you.

I have a similar problem. I have two Exchange email account:
1. Gmail (default)
2. Microsoft Exchange (work)
From my iPhone, I frequently email myself articles from other applications that I want to follow-up later. After upgrading to iOS7, when I type my Gmail ID in the 'To' field, the 'From' field automatially changes from my Gmail account to my work account. I didn't catch this the first few times this happened and was wondering what was going on as my emails started being sent from my work account.
Workaround for this case: Type in your To address first and then re-select the account to send From.
This is annoying and I hope Apple restores normal behavior.

Remove X-Smtp-Server from Header in Mail

I'm having an issue with Mail (7.3) leaking my personal email address in outgoing email.
Background:
I have a grandfathered free google apps account and use [email protected] to handle my personal email. Under this same user in google apps, I also have an alias setup using the name [email protected] (I use the alias for non-personal correspondence). Per a discussion over on google's forums (thanks Warren Chang and Goldy Arora) when I set up the alias under the 'Accounts' tab on google, I deselected 'Treat as an alias' and selected 'Send through mydomain.com SMTP servers' for outgoing mail. I then filled in the SMTP server settings with 'smtp.gmail.com' instead of 'smtp.mydomain.com'. For username and password I used [email protected] and its corresponding password.
After doing this when I send email using the google web interface and [email protected], everything goes as desired and the following is an example of a header on an outgoing message (notice [email protected] does not appear):
MIME-Version: 1.0
Received: by XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with HTTP; Fri, 5 Sep 2014 19:23:46 -0700 (PDT)

In Apple's Mail I set up a Google IMAP account with the following settings:
Email Address: [email protected], [email protected]
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
Username: [email protected]
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
Username: [email protected]
Problem:
When I compose an email in Apple Mail, select [email protected] in the 'From' dropdown and send the email, a look at the header shows this:
From: My Name <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Smtp-Server: smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]
Subject: Header Test Apple Mail
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
X-Universally-Unique-Identifier: STRING

To: My Name <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 7.3 $1878.6$)
This is not ideal because it is leaking my personal email address to anyone I send an email to using [email protected].
I also have an alias set up in Mail on my iOS devices using the generic IMAP account option under 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' and have found the desired behavior in sent emails:
Return-Path: <[email protected]>

Are there any options for removing the X-Smtp-Server line in the header from emails sent from Apple Mail so that my personal email isn't exposed? Or is there a better way to configure the account in Mail? I'd rather use Apple's Mail client across the board and not use Thunderbird or another mail client that might be more configurable.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

My external SMTP server went offline

Hi,
I have been using my domain's SMTP server forever to send emails from my domain's email accounts. All of a sudden last week, the server went off-line.
My hosting provider says that nothing has changed on their end and all the tests I can do seem to agree with their position.
I can send emails from the web-based email application which uses the same server, I can telnet to the server using the same port that I use to connect (465). I can ping the server, but my email application (Apple Mail) will not connect to the server anymore no matter what settings I try.
Has Verizon made any changes to their system that would cause my not to be able to connect to the server?
Although I can get mail out using outgoing.verizon.com, I am having email deliverability issues becasue many of the receiving incoming servers think the email might be spam because the email address is from one domain, but the SMTP server is from another. I have tried to remedy this with updates to the SPF record but that has had limited success.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dom
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have exactly the same problem.
I have been using the same account for years. I can access email through web browser, and forward e-mails to my blackberry. Mac Mail, Mac Outlook, IPAD can no longer access my verizon yahoo email account. I have tried every suggestion to date. Tried every port combination suggested. Deleted all accounts and started from scratch.. Reset IPAD from scratch, with SSL on and off, and just about every port possible. The last email I recieved through Mail was Feb 3. Downloaded the automated program which didnt work, I tried onlinechat with Verizon tech, but they claimed that since I could still access email through the web, its an Apple software issue. The Apple store is blaming Verizon for not providing the approprate port info etc to access. And truthfully, with all of the information on the verizon website to set up mail client software, there is no set of rules that seems to apply. Every one is suggesting hit or miss solutions.
Sorry to ramble on, but this is really frustrating, and I am not a novice at this.

Exchange messages departing via SMTP server from prior account

We've just deployed Exchange 2010 in our organization, replacing a hosted POP/IMAP/SMTP solution. The hosted solution remains available so that IMAP users are able to access their pre-Exchange messages. Consequently, iOS4 users have both an Exchange account and either a POP or IMAP account with a corresponding SMTP server.
The problem we're encountering involves which mail server is used when replying to messages with iOS4 devices. The president of our company has an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2: any message he replies to goes out via the SMTP server in use with our old solution.
So if I send him a message which arrives in his Exchange mailbox, if he replies to me with either of those devices, the reply ends up in my POP/IMAP mailbox on the previous mail server. This is a problem as people are not monitoring their old account inboxes now that the bulk of mail is received via Exchange, and this has resulted in a number of important messages missed or ignored.
I have been able to reproduce this.
Once again in a nutshell:
I send a message is to president. Arrives in his Exchange inbox. He replies via iPad or iPhone. Message arrives in old POP/IMAP inbox.
I can verify this behavior via message headers.
As a workaround, we've attempted to reconfigure the SMTP settings associated with the old account to use the SMTP service on the Exchange server. This works fine inside our firewall, but remote performance has been very inconsistent . And we really would like to block SMTP at the firewall.
I believe this issue has been discussed before, but in my review of the pertinent discussions, it doesn't look like there has been a solution.
Has anyone found a solution for this problem?

users will remain on the domain. decommissioning or altering access to the old mailboxes until some point post-migration would be unwanted so there's a fallback method in case anything goes wrong. until testing reveals a better method, the strategy
for Exchange 2003 / Server 2003 environment will remain as is for now using ldifde export of select user object attributes followed by ldifde import of select attributes to contact objects, followed by admodify.net / admodcmd updating of the necessary mail/exchange
attributes via %’mailNickName’% similar to what's described below to forward internal mail to the external host.

External SMTP server on Nokia 6500 slide

Is there any possibility to change the SMTP server setting for email on nokia 6500 slide? When adding an email account the phone automatically assumes that you would like to send the emails thru the mobile providers ISP, but i have an external ISP with SSL login at port 495.
Is it possible to get any advanced settings in this phone?

It sounds like a hardware problem. Unfortunately we can only help with settings and software issues here.

Changing user password in the external LDAP server from weblogic

Hi !
We have been successful in configuring the ldap security realm from weblogic 7.0.
We have also done the user authentication.
Now we want to allow the user himself to change his password from the application.Can
the user password which is stored in an iplanet directory server be changed from
application?If yes , then is there any extra configuration that needs to be done

I am not sure whether u got an answer for this..
But iplanet provides a web-link for end-users to change their LDAP password...u
can just give this link in ur app ..and iplanet will take care of the rest..

Sending mail to internal mailadres to external smtp

Hi,
I must have 1 email address from my email-domain (intern and external) that always send the mails to the external smtp-server.
example:
mail domain is novellrocks.com
email address create is [email protected]
So when we send internal our external een mail to [email protected] it will be deliverd to the mailbox.
But for this mailbox I explicit wants that the internal mail is first send to an external smtp server thats relay it to the gwia and then delivers its to th mta and then to the po and to the mailbox.
In the past you could send een mail to gwia:[email protected] so it was deliverd external and then get it back through the gwia.
Thanks

Hi,
Can you tell me how exactly?
I have tried gwia:email-address but that does not work.
I'm also not shure that it's leave the site externally and not just reenter the smtp-server.

Mail to blocked SMTP server stalls mails to other SMTP servers

Hi,
I have a particularly weird problem.
In Mail.app I have a Mobile Me account, a personal IMAP account and an Exchange account (working over IMAP etc. as it's Exchange server 2003 so I don't get all the fruity Snow Leopard/Exchange goodness).
The problem I have is this- in the office they block access to external SMTP servers (quite rightly).
If I send a mail through my Mobile Me or personal IMAP account and forget to tell it to use the internal work SMTP server then Mail.app will sit forever trying to connect to the external SMTP server and never time out (or if it does timeout it must be more than a few hours).
This isn't a huge problem in and of itself. However from this point on any mail I send will sit behind the stalled e-mail in the queue and never go out- so even my internal mails hang around not sending.
The only indication of this is the non-stop spinning wheel on the sent items folder and the never-ending 'Connecting to smtp.me.com' in the activity window.
The only way to resolve this is to go to the activity window and cancel all connections to the offending SMTP server. At that point the 'Outbox' folder will appear in my folder list and show me all of the e-mails it hasn't sent. I then have to open each one individually and click send again, at which point they go out (provided they still have the correct internal SMTP server selected).

Ernie,
Thanks for the response. I have previously seen Mail.app fail to send and bring the message back up telling me this- but that usually happens quite some time after trying to send, if at all, and I don't recall ever having this error happen in the office (where they are blocking these ports).
I have had similar issues when travelling and trying to send through hotel networks that typically block port 25- even then I rarely get a failure message (note that this has been happening both on 10.5.x and my clean install of 10.6.x)
I did check to see if the network here was doing some spoofing on SMTP ports but it isn't;
#####:~ #####$ time telnet smtp.me.com 25
Trying 17.148.16.31...
telnet: connect to address 17.148.16.31: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
real 1m15.019s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.003s
I get the same 1m15s timeout on port 465 & 587, yet Mail.app never seems to give up trying.
I tried sending to an external SMTP server without SSL to see if the behaviour was any different- but after 15 mins it's still trying so I guess not.
Weird.

how can i do it using yahoo smtp server.
also i want to know whethr i can use that our smtp server from a computer outside of the net work.
pls help me
txs lot.

Almost certainly, if you are behind a proxy server it will only be a proxy for HTTP traffic, and you will not be able to communicate with an SMTP server outside your network. But you have your own SMTP server so why would you want to?
If you have a proxy server and an SMTP server then there will be people responsible for supporting them. Talk to those people and ask them to give you the basic explanation of networking that you need.

Where can i download a mail server from

Hi
I'm trying to create a mail tool. my workplace uses lotus notes so i'm presuming thats why it doesn't work at the moment - i need a SMTP server. i get error messages of ..
"MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: xxxxx"
"ConnectException: Connection refused: connect"
Am i correct in thinking this is the reason?
So, can anyone recommend where i can download an SMTP server from ?
Thanks
joj

Before you rush off to install an SMTP server, I would suggest you talk to the people who support Notes at your place. It may already have an SMTP server but you don't know where it is. They may also frown upon you installing a rogue server on their network -- although you may not do much harm unless you actually manage to get its address registered in your corporate DNS so it's visible from the Internet.
