Can't send email ... "... server does not allow relaying."

Hello,
I'm using iOS 5.0.1 and for some unknown reason (at least to me) the iPad has stopped sending mail. I'm getting the following error message:
"A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipeint ... was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."
Very frustrating.
Any suggestion for how to straighten this out?
Thanks.

relay servers used to be common. But because they are used a lot by spammers, many servers these days do not allow relayed messages.
Below are three links. The first two Describe the problem. The third is from these forums a year ago with a solution that worked for many. Oddly, the solution seems to have nothing to do with the problem.
In any event, read thru and see if it rings any bells.

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.

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

I set up my eail account so I BCC a copy of the email to my desk top. When I send an email from my IPhone I get a message stating that the recpient was rejected because the server does not allow relaying. I can send the same email, BCC myself from my desktop with no problem.

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.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

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.

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.

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.

TS3899 The email arrives with no problem, but when making a rely, the message pops up stating "The server does not allow relaying" and the reply is not sent.

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.

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.

Updated my phone, now e-mail will not send because server does not allow relaying

Updated iphone 3GS to iOS 5, now my company e-mail will not send "because server does not allow relaying". I'm just an employee, not an IT type - have no idea what this means and I'm very frustrated. Also infuriated with Apple because THEIR update caused this to happen, yet I have to PAY for their support because I have an older iPhone. Someone please help.

razmee209, thanks for your reply. After signing up for the community, I saw that I wasn't the only one. However, I think I've solved it by looking over the comments in reply to others with this problem.
First, I think the iOS5 update may have made the phone default to IMAP setting. I noticed when I deleted my account and re-set it up that there is a large button at the top for either IMAP or POP. It is already defaulted to IMAP, but my account must be POP. So this is the first thing to check when you're setting up your account.
Second, I noted some other comments about needing to supply a username and password to the outgoing server even though it says optional. I included those, but got a message that it wasn't recognized (or something like that) and did I want to continue anyway. I told it to continue. After a few seconds, it verified my account, and now everything works.
Hope this helps others having this problem.

Cannot send mail - server does not allow relaying

I keep getting a sporadic error message on my ipad: "cannot send mail. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying". Sometimes it doesn't happen and the mail sends fine. Sometimes I get the error message but the message then sends later. Sometimes it never sends.
Can anyone help?

Hi, I've suddenly encountered this problem. I have a 1st gen iPad. I've reset, deleted, re-added, turned on both outgoing servers, added my password--this last doesn't stay in the primary outgoing server field; when I go back in, the password field is filled with the (optional) text again and when I 'click' into the authentication box, the password is no longer checked. However, these are all filled in the secondary outgoing server, so it shouldn't matter. Restarted the iPad a couple times. Using system 5.1.1--I think that's as far as I can go. Any miracles out there?

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".

I can't send an email. I get a reply stating server does not allow relaying???
