Help: Mail server refuses connection to port 143
Hi,
i am having this problem with accessing mail from my mac. It is a recurring problem everytime when i use Mail to access my .mac account.
This is what in shows- "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143."
I m very puzzled by this, it is a problem that happens on an 'on-off' basis, so sometimes it is ok and sometime it cannot access the server.
Please advice on this issue.
P.S i can access mail via Safari online.
cheers
2Ghz Macbook 'White' Mac OS X (10.4.6)
I'm not having the same problem.
It occurs every time you use the Mail.app to access your .Mac account and if so, how long have you had the account?
The default incoming mail server port for IMAP type accounts is 143 and since a .Mac type account is really an IMAP type account, are you accessing any other IMAP type accounts with the Mail.app?
How are you connected to the internet - via an Ethernet connection to a Cable or DSL modem or thru a wired or wireless router connected to same?

Server refused connection on port 143
The router is sending IMAP queries to the address of the server but Im getting a "server refused connection on port 143" error when client tries to connect. Must be something simple I'm missing.

This info from the system secure log might be useful;

"And as a side question, are you trying to implement a dual-NIC configuration?"
I dont think so (I dont understand the q) but I am trying both POP and IMAP if that is what you mean.

Cannot receive mail from .Mac account on port 143
I use my laptop at work. I used to have a 12" Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. I had no problem receiving mail from my .Mac account. Now, and all of a sudden, I can no longer receive my .Mac mail using the Mail app. The error I get is:
The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.
I called AppleCare about this issue last night and they told me to perform the following steps:
1. Choose .Mac in System Preferences and delete my username and password from the Account tab.
2. Move com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from my ~/Library folder to the desktop.
3. Restart the Mail app and re-import the Mail folder from the desktop. I was told not to directly copy the Mail folder from the desktop into the ~/Library folder.
4. Go back into .Mac in System Preferences and re-enter my account information.
According to AppleCare, things should now work. But there's a little problem with this "solution." I spoke with my network admin and he told me that incoming traffic on port 143 is blocked. That being the case, I fail to see how any of the above steps will solve my problem. It seems nothing more than an issue of trying to get my network admin to open port 143 and he seems reluctant to do that.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
RichardI've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
1) Rebooting my computer, then...
2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
...a...
...long...
...time...
But its looking like its working.
A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else -
Windows Mail - Server Terminating Connection when ...
This is a message related to a very well established forum full of many, many irate BT customers. I'm posting this long standing complaint here because in the forum I speak of, we are all being totally ignored by BT.
BT, after months of dissatisfaction, can you (a) acknowledge / confirm the problem and (b) fix the problem.
Here is the link to the forum in question - 8 pages worth of extremely dissatisfied and angry posters:
http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/Windows-Mail-Server-Terminating-Connection-when-download...
If you don't take action, I (and many others, I'm sure) will go public on this issue.
At the end of the day, we don't want to continue paying for service that doesn't deliver!To both people who replied to my post - I know only to well what forums are for but I'm so angry that all our posts in the forum (the one with 8 pages worth) just evapourate into thin air. You have to question the intrinsic value of at least some of these forums. I don't speak by any means for all forums but in ours we are all at our wits end - and furious because we are paying good money to BT for a "service" that doesn't deliver.
It's not good enough despite you correcting me as to where I should and shouldn't post. Have a look at the forum and you'll see what I mean. Yes - we have supported one another but we now all know exactly what the pronblem is after many months. The Sage has made around 4 posts all of which advocate we should all change to IMAP but this is missing the whole point. Our BT e-mail service is supposed to work through POP3 and indeed BT has standard POP3 settings for mail clients.
Myself and numerous people have been through all the official help and support channels to no avail. Customer Service is really poor. They tell you to follow a standard set of instructions by way of a "fix" but they refuse to recognise the issues we have.
But to finish, where do we all go from here when (a) many people have known for months what the issue is - it's a BT Yahoo server-side problem and (b) many people have reported this long standing issue (since Feb-12 or earlier) through the official BT support channels and still nothing has been done.
OK. No more posts from me. I'm at my wits end and both your replies have discouraged me from participating any longer. Very disappointing. -
I tried to download Firefox 3.6 but it wouldn't finish loading because of the message " Proxy server refusing connections". How do I over ride this problem? The last couple of days my firefox 3.5.2 has been crashing or locking up almost every time I opened it. It got so frustrating that I tried downloading 3.6 to see if it would work any better. No luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run Windows 2000 XP.
Go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Network --> Settings and choose "Do not use Proxy" to see if that helps.

Proxy server refused connections
Everytime I try to open Firefox and go online, I get the msg "proxy server refused connection". I tried going to options and choosing auto detect proxy and no proxy. They both allow me to go online but when I close Firefox, the settings I did aren't saved and I need to go to options again and change the settings. It's a hassle to go through this all the time. Help pls.
You can try to create a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s new profile] and see if the problem goes away. i.e. in Windows Start menu > '''Run''' (or press Windows key + '''R'''), type and enter '''firefox -p -no-remote''' > '''Create Profile''', after finishing select the newly created profile, '''Start Firefox''', edit and save the proxy settings and restart in the newly created profile. If the profile is okay, you can later [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy] needed data like bookmarks, passwords etc. from the previous profile to the new profile and delete the previous profile.
If the problem persists, it could be a security software that is trying to transparently proxy Firefox and may also be reverting the Firefox proxy changes. You may have to go into the security software settings and exempt Firefox/[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder or Files]. -
I am not finding a solution online that I can understand. Please tell me how what the proxy settings are for Mozilla Firefox's server connection? Firefox is my default web browser and I keep getting messages that say, "Proxy server refusing connection to the internet. Check proxy settings or contact server administrator." I go to the Advanced tab, click on change connection to internet settings, and delete manual proxy information and click on "no proxy." When the window closes and I log back onto the laptop, Mozilla Firefox loads up and I get the same error message again. I don't know how to change the proxy server to no proxy so that it will stay that way and not reset itself to the manual proxy information every time the Mozilla Firefox window reopens. Help!

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".

You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy -

Server refuses connection ONLY with one certain domain name AND from one hard drive
OK, this is kinda crazy and complicated, so bear with me and thank you for your interest. I have a Mac Pro with (3) Internal drives:
Boot is a SSD with all my apps and system software running 10.6.8. That's it.
Master has all my data files.
Mountain Lion has a clean 10.8 install, but I rarely use it.
I am a web developer and have a Wordpress site at www.timfleming.com
When I visit the site with Boot drive, it isn't loading the site correctly in any browser (Chrome, Safari, FF). It looks like no CSS is being applied and the image links are broken. I can get to my WP login page, but when I enter my credentials, the connection is refused by the server. Nor can I access the site via FTP in Filezilla.
If I visit with the Mountain Lion drive, no problem. Login no problem either.
Aha! You might say, there's some incompatibilty between your site and 10.6.8. Well, you would be wrong. I also have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 and the latest versions of Chrome, etc and have no problem connecting with it.
Even stranger, I have a local dev site, timfleming.com, that I cannot access with MAMP! Server refused connection
It's as if timfleming.com has been permanently banned from this machine!You, or someone using your computer, may have modified the file /etc/hosts.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts". -
Why do I keep getting proxy server refusing connections - even after I already reset to NONE?
After downloading your new version of Firefox 4, I constantly get the same "proxy server refusing connections" screen. I have gone into options and changed the proxy server to "none" at least 25 times in three days. This is a ridiculous waste of my time! How can this be fixed? or if not, how can I go back to a previous version of Firefox that doesn't have this stupid issue?
Doesn't that 'No proxy' selection stay selected ?

Database Mail Target smtp server refused connection.
Hi..
I'm working with a dev box that I'm configuring Database Mail from.
I've run through the setup from
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh245116.aspx
and
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/485124/Configuring-Database-Mail-in-SQL-Server
I have attempted to use the gmail smtp setup examples. I think I am close but my test emails keep returning an error in the log of: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused"..
I've tried ports 587, 465, and 25 (with and without SSL checked for each of them).
Where else should I check. ?
To the best of my knowledge my firewall settings are open to the transmittal of a test email.
AndyIf you are using your domain with gmail than it should work easily, but if you are using the gmail domain, then I had the same issue with Gmail on several CMS systems :-)
It look like GMAIL changed, the configuration a while back, and blocked external application, to use it's mail server, if it is not recognize the application.
awhile ago gmail used to sent email saying it blocked a suspicious login attempt, and provided a way to enable that functionality, with one click. last time that we tried to configure external application (DotNetNuke in that case), we did not get this email,
so it is very hard to find how to do it :-(
There is an option in your account to get a special password for external application. don't remember where/how I got it (I used google at the time to find the solution)
The configuration that worked for me in the past,
before this issue, on SQL Server and other applications was:
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com:465
SMTP Authentication: Basic
SMTP Enable SSL: checked
SMTP Username: ######
SMTP Password: ######
This should work if the Email address belongs to your domain and it created through the Google Apps web interface:
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com:587
SMTP Authentication: Basic
SMTP Enable SSL: checked
SMTP Username: ######
SMTP Password: ######
** I recommend not to use Gmail for this, since even if you configure correctly, they might and probably change the configuration again in several weeks/month.

Hello All,
I've a weird problem when I'm using "SP_Send_dbmail" to send a simple e-mail to two recipients using job agent.
The code i write is:
exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name= 'Send Reports',
@recipients = '[email protected] ; [email protected]',
@Copy_recipients = '[email protected]',
@Body = 'Whatever will be here',
@subject = 'Daily Reports',
@file_attachments = 'd:\MyFolder\MyFile.txt';
The error i receive is:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2015-03-03T14:57:17). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response
was: service not available (connection refused, too many connections)).
Does any one know why i get such error???
Please advise.
Hany MounirHello,
Please consider any Windows Firewall, security hardware/software, policies on your organization’s mail

Hope this helps.

Mail server: TCP connection failed
Hi,
I'm hosting my own mail server on my SnowLeopard server. I've got an Internet Domain Name (cinema-voiron.fr) and a fix IP address. The router which manages my internet connection redirects incoming smtp request to my server using NAT (port 25 opened on my server and on my public IP)
I successfully receive mails from most of people excepts for those with an mail address which is [email protected] Looking in the mail log file, I did not find any mail sent from these addresses. Using tcpdump on my server, I discovered that it seems that the TCP connection between my mail server (passrlminisrv) and the remote smtp server fails.

Any idea of the root cause? Could it be an issue with my DNS configuration or is it related with my own smtp server?
Thank you in advance for your help
XavierFixed it. The root cause is the router layer of my internet modem which is not managing properly TCP windows scaling. I created a new virtual interface on my server on the same subnet of my modem to bypass the routing layer and it works.
