IPhone4 when replying or forwarding mail messages i get a message that says Cannot Send Mail address rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

When forwarding mail this is what i get
Cannot Send Mail
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipent _________________(email address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Never had this problem before so not sure whats going on. Appreciate any help out there.

Sounds like there is something wrong with your SMTP server. Try going into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select the email account in question, go to the Outgoing server (SMTP) and check the settings. It may be you do not have a username and password in one of the areas. The phone may say optional in a couple, but it is usually mandatory. You can also try a reset on the device, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If neither of these work, then you will need to delete the account, then delete the SMTP server, then add the account back, ensuring you use your username and password everywhere, even when it says optional.

    Try this. Sometimes this is all that you need to do to fix that issue. Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    From which account does the email not send?  When sending from an account, the iPad will first try to use the aoutgoing server for that account.  If it can't it will try the other accounts listed.in the setting on the iPad for that account.  It soulds like the server for the account is not working and that the alternate server is resjecting the messag since it did not originate ffrom the account associated with that server,  That is to prevent sending spam.

  • I have 2 emai accounts which worked perfectly on iphone 4 but on iphone 5 my msn account wont let me reply to emails sent to that account, it leaves the message in my outbox saying recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

    I have 2 email accounts which both worked perfectly well on my ipone 4 but since going over to iphone 5 my msn account will not allow me to reply to any emails. It places a message on my screen stating a copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient   @.com was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Any ideas on how I can sort this. Would it be worth deleting my MSN account ant putting re-inputting the details again?

    Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
    You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
    You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.

    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.

  • HT1430 I receive emails but when I try to send emails, I get a box that says that the "recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

    I can receive emails over AOL but cannot send them. When I do, I get a box that says "recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

    That's because you did not enter your screen name and password for the outgoing (SMTP) mail server on the phone. Or if you did they got erased. Go to Settings for the account and enter them.
