HT4519 "The recipient %@ was rejected by the server"

When i try to send an email, the following display appears " The recipient %@ was rejected by the server because the user is unknown"  I have the same settings on my Iphone and it works fine. I can recieve emails but cannot send them.

I had this happen for no reason, everything was working fine for months and it started with no changes to my settings.
The solution was to re-enter the Outgoing Mail Server host name (mail.********.com) the user name (myname@*******.com) and the password even though the last 2 are optional.
Then everything worked fine.
The settings were already entered and what I re-entered was exaclty the same but it still cleared the problem.
Hope this helps.

    I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. How can I fix this error so I can send emails.

    The issue definitely sounds like your Outgoing/SMTP settings need to be changed.  Simply set them to the proper settings for your provider as was suggested above.
    I found this link for Knology:  http://support.knology.net/content/email.setup.cfm
    The SMTP settings can be edited on the iPad/iPhone by going to Settings--> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, edit the account having trouble, click the Account, then at the bottom is the SMTP server info, click on it to edit it further.
    It should allow you to edit the primary smtp server and let you enter all the good stuff as you see in the Knology link above.
    Some providers require you to register your account on their service like AT&T.

    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.

  • I cannot send or reply to e-mails. The recipient was rejected by the server because it dows not allow relaying

    I cannot send or reply to emails. I get an error message that reads "A copy has been put in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Your outgoing mail server settings are incorrect. Go to the settings for the email account and look at the SMTP settings. Most likely you did not enter your user id and password. While it says "optional" that's only from the iphone's point of view; it probably isn't "optional" from the point of view of your email provider.

    When trying to reply to an email, I get the message "the recipient was rejected by the server."  What do I do to fix this?

    I have just been having this problem and it has been driving me mad.   The error message doesn't tell you which file is causing the problem so you can't fix it and it leaves your libray in a state of limbo with some files copied into the new location and some in the old location.  After many hours I found a surprisingly quick and simple solution.
    1) in iTune create a smart play list that includes everything that was added before tomorrows date.  This will include everything.
    2) Right click this playlist and export it as a text file to produce a tab delimited file.
    3) Import this into a spread sheet, or just view it in a text editor with line wrap turned off.  What you are interested in is the last column (or end of the line in a text editor).  This gives you the path of the file associated with each entry in the library. 
    The path of the files that have already been copied successfully will start with the new location for your media files you specified.  Scroll thru the rows until you get a blank path.  If you start getting paths starting with the old Media file location then you went to far and start scrolling back.
    The row with the blank path was the file that failed.  Move back to the start of the row to find out more about it.  In my case it was a podcast with a very long name. I just deleted that podcast from iTunes.
    4) Restart the consolidation by choosing File, Library as you did before and the process starts again where it left off.
    5) If it fails again on another file just repeat the process
