Mail Bouncing everything...

I am recently finding that ALL of my messages that I receive are bouncing back to the sender. I have turned off all rules and can not find any obvious reasons as to what would cause this.
Also, when I send a note to myself from my iPhone (from the note app), it sends it again and again, last time was like 120 times!!!
Any thoughts on where to start?

What tipped you off that your messages are bouncing? Who is your email service provider? Is Mac Mail bouncing them, or are the senders receiving bounces messages? If the latter, the bounced messages will give you the reason.
-getting e-mail failure notices was the first sign... ie: when my system or .mac bounced then I got a returned e-mail from whatever company my system replied to automatically. So if I got a message from Tiger Direct for instance about some deal going on, right after it was a message saying that I had sent an e-mail to an incorrect address (from Tiger Direct), or I would get a failed sent message from a server.
-this issue is on my .mac address, although it has also happened with gmail. To me that says it is Mail based. Although I know gmail will CC the sender, so maybe that was unrelated... not sure.
-who or what is bouncing them is unclear. It seems that some where there is bounce... though it is actually a reply, as I still get the message.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Mac Mail "bounce" feature does NOT work

Noticed that the "bounce" mail feature of Mac mail will not work. Did a search and found that it isn't working anymore for anyone. Also found several posts here on Apple Discussions, that "bounce mail" is not working, and all of the questions asking why it isn't working, are archived and no answers are allowed. The bounce mail feature was a great tool to reject and send back an email from someone that you didn't want email from. That unwanted sender would get the message that it was an invalid email address, and problem solved. We should absolutely have the right to reject an email from an unwanted sender by blocking reception from their email address. It is not acceptable that we should have to receive emails from a specific sender we are trying to block. Spam coming from faked addresses is bad enough, but when you know a specific unwanted sender's address, we need to be able to bounce and reject their emails! Fixing the Mac Mail bounce feature should be a high priority.

Making a rule to simply move emails from an unwanted sender (with a real email address) to the trash, is no solution at all. The whole point is to Reject that person's email by bouncing it back to them, with the intention of showing them they have NOT reached a valid email address. The whole point is to STOP their behavior, not accept it. Your suggestion, that I have to allow the unwanted email to come in, for me to have to deal with it, trashing it or otherwise, sounds like the attitude of the spammers.
Let's not confuse the point here, Apple put the "bounce mail" feature in Mac mail for a reason, and I just want it to work again.
Bouncing email is not unique to Apple's Mail. There is a RFC specifying how bouncing should be handled. Thomas already explained why bouncing email is not a good idea. Here is the reason quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeliveryreport.
"Today, however, most email is spam, which usually utilizes forged Return-Paths. It is then often impossible for the MTA to inform the originator, and sending a bounce to the forged Return-Path would hit an innocent third party. In addition, there are specific reasons why it is preferable to silently drop a message rather than reject it (let alone bounce it):
* Heuristically filtered spam. Spam filters are not perfect. Rejecting spam based on content filtering implies giving to spammers a test environment where they can try several alternatives until they find a content that passes the filter.
* Viruses and worms. Most times these are sent automatically from an infected machine. Since a bounce may contain a copy of the worm itself, it may contribute to its diffusion."
So using bounce is not a good idea, IMHO.

After adding SPF records for Hybrid Development some external mails bounced back with error SPF Unauthorized mail is prohibited.

Added v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all and the txt token for the Exchange 2013 hybrid configuration, now some mails bounced back with the error "SPF Unauthorized mail is prohibited". What could be the cause? Should I customized
the SPF record but it is not mentioned in the procedures for Hybrid configuration to do that.

Hi,
Would you like to mark Ed's reply as an answer so that others can find the solution easily.
Have a nice day : )

The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Mail Bounced Message

Have deleted most of my mail and have restarted several times. I still receive a message ATTENTION: Bounced Message notification, bytes in mailbox.
I continue to get this message although as I said I emties sent and trash and deleted and only have a few in inbox.
I have also turned off JUNK email.
Please help?

I have called RoadRunner who is my e-mail provider.
I did indeed have to go the their website and manage my account by deleting all of the messages on the server. I had never had to do this in the many years having this account. The messages must pile up even tho your mailbox on your computer shows low usage.
Everything should flow again.
Hope this helps.

Mail bounces when sent from command-line, works from PHPMailer, Mail.app

Recently, any mail send from the command-line (manually, or via automated scripts) is getting rejected. However, messages composed with, say, PHPMailer are getting through. One thing I notice about the bounced messages is that there's no user/sender recorded. Here's a snippet of the log:

The failure reason given "mail for ... loops back to myself" doesn't seem right, since I haven't changed the DNS settings on this machine.
You'll notice, the message that is sent has the from= address specified, whereas the other two failed examples don't... I'm not really sure why this is failing all of a sudden. Telus, one of our ISPs, is infamous for quietly making major network policy changes (e.g., blocking port 25 for all outgoing business customers). Any suggestions, or a link to a good SMTP mail server (a la OS X server) tutorial would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can you explain why you need any zones in your DNS apart from your own?
OK, I read a previous post from you which explains your internal setup (mini & xserve), so you are using internal domains for web stuff with your local DNS based on your xserve. I presume your mini is using the xserve for DNS? So although I am not entirely clear about everything that is going on, I'll presume you do need these domains in your xserve...
Yes, that's all correct. The Xserve does runs DNS, Web and Mail Services, the Mini just runs a couple web sites (on port 8080, fwiw).
If an external mail server is responsible for a domain which you have in your internal DNS then you have to mirror the public MX records in your local DNS. How MX records work...
This is what I've done in the DNS Services, I believe...
For the domain gpspolice.net, your mini will ask your xserve for the MX record. This will resolve to a host name - in the public DNS this is "mail.gpspolice.net". Your mini will then ask your xserve to resolve this host name - in the public DNS this is "209.200.253.29". So ideally, you should have these two records (MX record= mail.gpspolice.net, plus "A" record for mail.gpspolice.net = 209.200.253.29) in your xserve dns. You may get away with using a different MX host name as long as the final IP is the same but better if exactly mirrors public DNS records.

I think I've done what you've said, and still certain messages don't get sent out. Basically, any message bound for a .baseloc.net domain doesn't get sent. Here's an example of one message that get's stuck in the queue, along with the console log:

I have to say, I really appreciate your help. It's helping me understand the proper approach. Anyway, if there's any other information I can provide to help you [help me], please let me know. Thanks again.

Mail sending everything to junk folder

Hi all,
I have an issue where Mail is sending all incoming mail to the Junk folder including good mail. Normally the good mail stays in my Inbox and the Junk mail is automatically put in the Junk Mail folder. It puts all the mail in the junk folder, but only colors the junk mail and leaves the good mail the normal color. Also, it does not put the Junk mail bag "icon" next to the Junk mail messages anymore. Anybody know what's going on here?

When you click on Mail Choose the Mail Icon and click on it and then Preferences from that Mail Icon and go through the available settings and you will find your problem, It is a setting sending everything to the Junk or Trash.
Cheers Don

Mail bounces once then won't open

I guess that kinda sums it up. Mail, when you click on it in the dock, bounces once, then just sits there staring at me, and fails to open. I've run a Disk repair thing just in case it was accessibility, but that hasn't helped.
I looked at it in Terminal and got this:
dyld: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail malformed library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/HTMLDisplay.framework/Versions/A/HTMLDisplay (not a Mach-O file, bad magic number)
Trace/BPT trap
I haven't a clue what this means! I don't suppose anyone knows how I can restore access to Mail?
Thanks in advance!

It means that there is something wrong with your Mac OS X installation.
What does “I've run a Disk repair thing” mean? Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using (which you haven’t provided and doesn’t appear in your profile either), unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
You may also have to reinstall the following Security Update, which includes most of the security updates released after Mac OS X 10.3.9:
Security Update 2007-007 for Mac OS X 10.3.9
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Mail bounces a few times but won't open, other apps work.

OK, I searched the forums and can't find an answer related to this for mail (found it for itunes, safari, etc). I am sure this is a mundane thing but to my computer simple mind, I am stuck.
My husband ran a Safari update. Since then the mail icon bounces but will not open. All other apps work. I trashed (and emptied) all the Safari stuff. I ran disk utlities repair. I inserted the startup disk, holding key "c" and did a hard drive repair and I got nothing.
How do I get my mail back on track??? Anyone???
Thanks in advance.

You have doe the Disk "Repair", which is the first (and harder) part. The second part is the "Repair Permissions". It is much easier because it can be done "live" in the running system.
Quit all other Applications and run Disk Utility.
Select your Hard drive and check the SMART Drive status in the bottom margin for "Verified"
Click on ( Repair permisions)
wait while lots of wacky message scroll by. These can safely be ignored unless they appear in RED.
Quit Disk Utility
try to start Mail again.

Outgoing mail bouncing

Error
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out.
The above message is what I'm greeted with everytime I try to send an email. Incoming email hasn't been a problem (especially with the recent surge in spam on my mac account), but I haven't been able to send a message from my mac account since I moved a week ago. Otherwise my new connection is working perfectly.
I've checked all the preferences in Mail and I'm all out of ideas, please help!
imac G4 / ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

This isn't the definition of a bounced message since the message has not been sent.
Sounds like you also changed your internet service provider (ISP) when moving. If so, most if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
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.
If this does not work and you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

E-mail bounce For system.

We are trying to send an e-mail from my personal address the e-mail address (XXXX). This last e-mail addressed is connected to the (XXXX) e-mail address. Which will be delivered at the CP4 system.
However this mail is being bounced.
After checking the system we've found out that the connection from the mail server to the CP4 is working fine. However the mail does still not receive in SAP. Can you please check this issue. Maybe within SAP, maybe on unix mail-agents which are not running fine, or port-binding which is not correct.
I have checked
(1) <sm37> :   SEND SAPCONNECT INT   >>> suuccesfully.
(2) ,scot>   : every thing is ok (green)
(3) <sost>   : erroe >> Cannot process message in SAP System , long text >> No ESMTP Plug-In Is Available for SAPconnect

Hi mohsin,
Check in SMICM that the ICM is actually up and running. Some times it doesnt start automatically. Then check if you have configured the SMTP service in SMICM -> Goto -> Services and there should be an entry for SMTP.
If not you will need to create one in SMICM (455140 gives the RZ10 instance parameters).
Hope this helps

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I don't have .mac, nor would I, but several people have had problems recently, actually on and off for years, so it may pass, sometimes it's just a regeon or two having problems.
Also, are youaware they are switcing over to .me and cancelling .mac? That eems to be causing some problems now and then also.
