I suddenly can't send outgoing messages

Through Mail, I can receive incoming but can't send outgoing unless l go directly through my email's online mail server. I shift around between routers in my home country all the time, but when I went overseas for 3 weeks at Christmas, all of a sudden I couldn't send outgoing mail. Now I'm back on my home router and it still won't work even tho it had no problems before the trip.
I read Mail Help and tried all the things it said.
I checked all the settings, they were correct.
I copied all the settings to a new account, checked they were correct, deleted the old one, and it still won't work.
Deleted all the unused smtp servers.
Pinged it and got this message:
"10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss" -- I'm assuming that means something's wrong, but Mail didn't say what to do after that.
When I plugged directly into my router and tried to send, I still got the same message:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
I love my apple, but I'm getting mildly frustrated. Can anyone help??!!

  • Can't send outgoing messages using hotmail on iPhone 4

    Help! I've just switched from iPhone 3 (where I used my hotmail with no probs) to iPhone 4 and have been setting it up as I had it before. I've added my hotmail account and incoming emails are received but it won't let me send outgoing mail. It keeps asking for a password but when I enter it (and re-enter it over and over again) it keeps asking for the password! Has anyone else had this problem?

    So you went thru the apple support link that I gave you and still can't text.
    Then you restored and reset the phone and still can't text.
    Call the carrier  - ?
    Look I've been giving you some troubleshooting tips, that I would give anybody else who is having issue with sending text message.
    Your last resort after doing all the fixes would be to call the carrier.
    Call your fiancee carrier and see what they say.

  • Switched isp - can't send outgoing messages anymore

    Just switched from Verizon DSL to Cox as ISP. Continue to receive email messages, but get error message "The outgoing mail server "stmp.mac.com" failed to deliver this message. The connection to the server "stmp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out." I tried switching this to Cox's "stmp.east.cox.net" but get a message that the server cannot be contacted. I'm clueless about this stuff so appreciate any insights you can offer.

    Is Verizon's SMTP server still available to choose from in Mail?
    If there are any SMTP servers available in Mail not being actively used by any accounts, this can sometimes cause problems.
    Something to try.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    Test if this resolves the problem.
    Are you able to send messages with your Cox email account and SMTP server?
    If so, selecting the Cox SMTP server for your .Mac account should work.

  • Automator "Send Outgoing Messages" Workflow Failed - 1 error

    Hello,
    In my hunt to be able to send a personalised templated e-mail to multiple recipents using Mac Mail, I came accross the automator feature. I've tinkered around with it but can't seem to generate the final action of sending.
    1) New Mail Message (all fields have data as I read in another thread that this might generate errors.)
    2) Get Specified Address Book Items
    3) Group Mailer
    4) Send Outgoing Messages (this is where I get a Workflow failed - 1 error)
    Steps 1-3 have green tick marks, Step 4 has the error.
    Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong?
    I'm using 10.7.2

    Anyone?????

  • I can not send text messages

    this is a new problem on my g4.  all of a sudden I can not send text messages when i am in my home.  this happens on my s4 and my sons s4 but my daughter uses an iphone and she is not having this problem.  i can receive texts, facebook, email etc I just can not send texts.  Nothing in my house has changed except that Comcast just put in a new modem, I am not tech savvy at all so not even sure that would affect my out going texts
    any suggestions would be great

        Hi scrappy1989,
    Let's see what's causing the problem! Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Are you having trouble sending picture and text message? Do you experience the issue with everyone you send a message to? Do you receive an error message? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  • How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?

    How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?
    If I have a codetable in database that has new or modified values I have to refresh the codetable in my J2EE application.
    Most effective way would be send a message to initiate a table reload from J2EE app, but I don't know how to do this.
    Now I have a background thread that regular reads the table and looks for changes.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/TechNotes/TechNote_BAM_AQ_Configuration.pdf
    This document details how to create triggers on a table that send out JMS messages.
    In this example, the messages are going to Oracle BAM.. your message could go to your J2EE application listening to its own topic/queue.
    an alternative idea.
    you could also just cache your lookup table with something like Oracle Coherence and than try to ensure that all changes to the lookup go through Coherence, so that you won't need to do notification from the db up to the application. the application and the lookup data management tool would be using the data grid for management of the lookup table data, and the data grid (coherence) would persist the lookup data changes back to the db.

  • How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

    How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
    It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

    There is no group send option like you are looking for.
    To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
    As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

  • You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so

    Hi,
    We are on Exchange 2010 SP2 with multiple domain name. All works ok. We need to be able to use other domains while sending email. For example, i have a default reply address set for [email protected] along with other addresses i.e [email protected] etc on
    policy. I am receiving emails and can reply only using [email protected] I get the following error if i try to send email from [email protected]
    [email protected]
    You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission. If the
    problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
    Users should have the ability to choose an address as they need rather that fixing to a single 'set as reply address'. I am sure it is possible. Can some provide some help/direction?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Byron,
    Looked like a workable solution but could not get it to work. I am getting NDR with permission issue. I have created the distribution group with email address. Added the user in it. Given the user Full access and SEND AS permission. 
    Hi, I'm not sure what issue you are running into, but you can definitely give a user Send As permission for a group and then send as the group. I just verified in my test environment.
    To assign the Send As permission, the easy way it in AD User and Computers.
    Enable Advanced Features from the View menu first. This allows you to see the
    Security tab.
    In ADUC, find the group and open the Properties.
    On the Security tab, Add the user.
    With the user selected in the list, Allow the Send as
    permission.
    There may be a bit of lag time before that begins to work as Exchange may have cached some AD permissions, but it definitely works.
