  • Can I send email using my own domain address with iCloud the way I can with gmail?

    Let's say I own mydomain.com and have a [email protected] email account.  I have set that up to forward to gmail, and that would be easy to switch to iCloud.  Here's the tricky part: gmail allows me to send email as [email protected]  I've been doing this for years and it works, but I'd like to switch from gmail to iCloud.  Can I set up this same behavior with an iCloud @me.com address (which I already have but haven't been using yet)?  I know I can obviously switch the forwarding of incoming mail to my @me.com address...  but can I send [email protected] email through iCloud the way I can with gmail?  All of my devices are Apple: a Mac Mini using Apple's Mail app, and an iPhone and an iPad both using the Apple email app, so I'd rather switch everything over from gmail to iCloud.
    P.S.  Awe, c'mon Apple.  Don't turn those fake addresses into links.  I just used them for the sake of giving an example.

    Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
    Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • Can't send emails server will not relay

    Please help I have been in touch with aol and. Apple but still no answer, I cann receive emails but cannot send them the message reads
    A copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
    How do I solve this to send emails again

    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.

  • I can't send email because SMTP rejects my password, what's up?

    I am trying to send an email and I get this pop-up that says:
    The SMTP server "smtp.mac.com" rejected the password for user
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    When I enter my password and click OK the same box pops up again. This seems odd and hasn't happened before so why?

    I think I will have to wait until Apple sorts the problem out or if it persists tomorrow, I will continue to seek support on these or other boards. I went into the keychain access.app and verified my information, no errors found. I reset my password for my email account server (smpt) and still have the problem. Must be a problem with Apple.

    Hi johnnytoo!
    I know it's aggravating when you need to send an email and it doesn't go through! I have a link that provides step by step information from Apple's website that should resolve this for you.

  • I can't send emails. I receive a message saying: the recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.

    I can't send emails anymore. Lately out of nowhere, I couldn't dend any emails fom my Ipad. I receive a message saying: the recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works.

  • HT1349 Can't send email...message says email was rejected by the server because it does not allo relaying

    Go into your SMTP outgoing mail server and enter your username and password.

  • I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

    I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
    Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
    If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
    In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

  • TS3899 I can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada? Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Help! And thanks!

    Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help! Thanks.

    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.

  • Can't send email from internal server, same domain name as external.

    We have a domain "example.com", hosted externally, for email and a website.  We are thinking of hosting email 'inhouse' and have setup a dedicated subdomain on a 'fixed' IP, "mini.example.com" for AFP services mainly. mini.example.com provides DNS internally, its primary zone is also example.com. All access to the external web goes thru' a modem/router that the server is connected to. We have to set an A record for www access to our website.
    In our testing to migrate email, the internal setup works fine, until the switch over.  Now we can receive mail to the mini server, but can't send any out.
    We instructed our webhost provider to set the CNAME mail.example.com to point to mini.example.com and created a cPanel MX extry mail.example.com, 10 priority.  Previously, the external host had CNAME as mail.example.com to example.com and MX as example.com, 10 priority.
    Since the implementation of the CNAME change, we can't send emails out and they get stuck at the outbox waiting. Client Mail app, says to check for port and SSL and account settings.
    Any idea where we went wrong here and what we can do to get emails out? We could go to each computer and point-off the DNS to office IP, but we rather not.
    Thanks!

    Thank you Camelot and MrHoffman for your replies.
    I got in this am to find Mail.app could actually send out emails and I'm stratching my head wondering what happened yesterday.
    SMTP server addresss was manually set to mail.example.com for all accounts. In trying to get things to work, the mail setup was redone again by "Accounts", in Systems Preferences, when Login is clicked on, and mail was automatically given a SMTP as mini.example.com instead of mail.example.com.  I'm guessing that that could be where the initial 'inside' problems were, given that it had a 0 answer to the MX query. Or then again I wasn't patient enough.
    Just for completeness, and if there's something to learn from here, these are the dig results for example.com as seen from within the office network.

    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • Since downloading new OS, cannot send email "server rejected"

    Since downloading new OS, cannot send email "server rejected"

    How do you know everything is correct? where did you get the instruction? Sometimes the default ports are different on different devices and thus you have to manually change the ports used.
