Mail Delivery Problems ... Out of Nowhere!

As of this morning when I send email (some not all) I get a message back saying ...
*The original message was received at Mon, 29 Nov 2010 10:05:56 -0800*
*from omta003 [127.0.0.1] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ---- (reason: 550 No such user - psmtp)*
yet the people I'm emailing are receiving the email. Does anyone know what's going on??? These are addresses that I've used before and have never seen this happen.

I called my email provider and when they sent they didn't get a responce coming back ... so the theory is that somehow within mac mail when I type in the new email address its still connecting to the old.
See she used to have one email address and now has got a new one and cancelled the old one, yet when I send to the new one it seems to send the email through but it sends a transcript back to me saying it didn't go through. I think something within mail is connecting to the old address - what can I do to insure there is no trace of that old addess? I deleted it from my address book but I see it still shows up in mail.

  • TS3276 Internet Mail Delivery Problem

    I have been getting "Internet Delivery Problem" on my email since midnight last night.  All my email is coming through, accompanied by the above message,  and all messages are going out.  I don't see how to fix this.  Any suggestions?  I am on iCloud and went to Connection Doctor, and it said everything was fine!

    Seems to not be system-wide.  My husbands .mac account is behaving just fine. 
    Just curious, did anyone having problems also lose service a while back? If I understood what happened correctly, Apple had one big server center go down and I lost email for a couple of days but my husband didn't.  So he's located on a different server than mine.  Everyone seems randomly assigned since the outage was world-wide, and just those routed out of this one location lost service. Took them a while to acknowledge the issue, since it wasn't everyone.  Curious if this is affecting the same people? 

  • Mail delivery problems and incorrect time stamps

    I'm running Server 10.4.9 and along with hosting two webpages I am hosting email for one of the domains. Whenever a message is received by an account hosted by my server, the time listed for receiving the email is incorrect. It varies from 1 to 4 hours fast or slow depending on the source of the email. It happens with both incoming and outgoing mail. If a message is sent from one account to another on my server, the time stamp is correct.
    In addition to the incorrect time, I have noticed messages directed to one account being delivered to another. For example, in my own mailbox I recieve messages that were intented to go to another user mailbox on my server. I don't know if that is related to the same problem or if it is a spam issue but I figure any bit of information will be helpful.
    And finally, I do not believe all mail is reaching the intended mailbox. I have junkmail and notjunkmail accounts enabled for spam and if I redirect 10 emails usually only 5 at the most will make it. I get no return errors when redirecting (ex: undeliverable)
    I have checked the obvious time and date panels in OS X including the server admin and everything matches. The timezone is also correct. I type date into the terminal and that comes up correct as well. This isn't my first time configuring a server.... I've hosted mail servers with 10.2 and 10.3 in the past with no problems but this is my first time using 10.4. I'm pretty comfortable navigating through the server, but I have limited experience in terminal. (Just for FYI) Usually with enough time I can figure almost anything out, but I've run out of ideas here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

    Where are you looking at the timestamp? On the message headers? Are you taking into account any timezone corrections on same headers? E.g. following message sent from Apple HQ to UK...
    Received: from uk2mxserver3-10.uk2.net ... Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:24:34 +0100 (BST)
    Received: from bz3.apple.com ... Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:24:31 +0100
    Received: from acutil03.apple.com ... Sun, 15 Apr 2007 02:24:22 -0700 (PDT)
    Otherwise you will need to post examples.

    What does the mail.log show for these messages? You should be able to track them moving through the system.

  • OBIEE Mail Delivery Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to schedule an analysis to send an email in daily basis to a specific group of people. People can change according to their position in the company so the list must be dynamic. I tried to use option 'Get Recipients from the Analysis Used in the Agent Condition' in the recipients tab of schedular page. I created a different analysis just contains required email address list. Then choose its email column to get the recipients. Then run my agent, but no email is delivered. It is not working and I can not understand the reason Only mail is delivered when I write email addresses hard code such as xxx.hotmail.com etc.. What can be the problem?
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    I found the reason but thank you for your attention again. The reason is SA System configuration changes are applied to the user profiles after login attempt. Users who do not login to the system after the configuration don't have an email address configured on their profiles.
    Regards

  • Mail delivery problem

    Hi I have a few email accounts on my Macbook pro..all run through the default Apple mail client.
    up until a week ago all was fine..now I can only receive emails on all accounts not send them..have checked smtp settings and renewed permissions but nothing sends...just the cog spinning and eventually fails the send..All accounts work fine on my iphone using the same router..
    Now if I take my laptop to my mates house it all works fine!! we both use BT infinity home hub 3 routers..and yes all its settings are the same as default..
    Any ideas guys??

    I have experienced the same problems. I could receive but not send email through a third party email. Our ISP is BT and it would appear even though they wont admit it that they have changed some peoples settings.
    I spoke with my email provider 123-reg and they asked me to check my ISP and then check the SPAMHAUS and our ISP has been Blocklisted. I called BT and they wouldnt answer why this had happened.
    To cut a long story short I have had to pay BT £30 (not happy) to resolve the problem. They set my SMTP details as mail.btinternet.com and i had to authenticate this by logging into a BT/Yahoo email account that we never use., go to options then mail options then mail accounts and add details for the account your having problems with. You should then receive an email link on your third party email address.
    I have actually complained to OFCOM about this as I dont believe that I should have to pay to rectify a problem that I havent caused. All BT would say is that they fixed the problem and I have to pay the £30. they wouldnt answer why I couldnt send emails prior to this fix. I asked why I now have to have the SMTP as mail.btinternet.com and again they couldnt answer this.
    I hope this helps

    problems receiving IMAP mail

    What problem? I have no problem with mail and Mavericks, but I just upgraded my wife's 2012 MBP to Mavericks. Now she doens't get mail as frequently as before.  With perferences set to check either automatically or every five minutes, she gets mail that is several hours old.  She's using IMAP (@icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com).
    Any ideas,

  • Anyone having UPS delivery problems out of Incheon, S. Korea?

    My iPad Air shipped out of Chengdu 11.18.2013 and arrived Incheon 6:05 a.m. Korean time 11.19 (still 11.18 here). Then it apparently sat there for days (3 or so) with no change showing on UPS tracking screen.
    Finally I got an email from UPS in the AM today (EST) saying it would be delivered, as promised all along on the tracking site, on the afternoon of 11.22 (tomorrow as I write).
    But wait! In mid-AM (yes, I am obsessed), I checked tracker and saw that finally the screen showed a change: the word "EXCEPTION" now appeared in red cap letters at top and it shows for 11.22 a remark that flight was "canceled due to circumstances beyond the control of UPS." No new delivery date given. No updates on screen since then.
    I went to live chat and they could tell me no more. Said to watch the tracker.
    Ugh.
    WHY would my iPad have sat in Incheon for so long? Why does trouble with just one of many UPS flights out of Incheon for Anchorage screw up my delivery so royally? Why does Flight Aware show no cancellation of any UPS flights betweem Incheon and Anchorage?(Yes, I am assuming that's the way to Louisville, UPS domestic base.)
    How many iPads and iPhones got delayed, I wonder.
    And I guess now I have to wait until after the coming weekend, maybe eve to get a new delivery date.
    (Yes, when I ordered on line at Apple store, delivery was promised between 11.25 and 12.2 --- so I am still ahead of the game. But Apple always beats those outside estimates.
    Would be a lot less frustrating if UPS tracking actually provided some useful information.
    I am still hoping against hope it will still show up tomorrow.
    Anyone else excperienced this kind of thing?

    Cool!
    I hope you are right.
    I'm having a little trouble figuring out which UPS Flight 99 our stuff must be on.
    As far as I can tell, a UPS Flight 99 landed on time but it left before our stuff was departure scanned.
    Today's flight left hours late and has been in the air only a little more than an hour.
    Our stuff was departure scanned at just before 6 a.m. today eastern time.
    I believe this flight that's in the air right now is the first UPS flight to Anchorage since that scan.
    I hope I'm wrong!
    But either way ... Doesn't make any difference ... Can't get here today so it will have to be Monday.

  • Mysterious, annoying, huge mail.app problem.

    The last month the mail on my iMac has a very big problem. I am running the 10.5.6 with all the mail updates.
    Out of nowhere my Mail.app starting acting very funny. It will start the mail download process and it will indicate the number of messages and the progress. It will however keep on downloading and the indicator will keep on spinning for ever. Not all the mail is downloaded, even if leave it over night . I will try to quit and it will not. I have to force quit. And when I open it again it will re-download the the same messages again.
    1) I recovered the mail folders and the .plist files from the time-machine, but no luck.
    2) I start deleting some of the accounts but I had to delete all minus the MobileMe account.
    3) I copied the same files from my MacBook Pro and still no luck
    4) I reinstall the MacOSX (10.5.6) and imported the files my oldest backup. Still no luck.
    As you see I am out of options. I don 't know what else to do.
    Georgios

    Georgious
    Have you tried going to your server's web address to look at your inbox with a web browser? Perhaps someone has sent you a huge file that Mail is having trouble downloading. If so, you can delete it with your web-mail access.

  • Problem with "Mail Delivery System" ...

    I have been getting this "Mail Delivery System" notice. My colleagues responded to my e-mail and they got the same response after replying to my email. They would ask me if I got their email. I did get their email reply with no problem.
    So I tested my mac.com address by emailing from my office: [email protected] to [email protected] - I even get this message. I was perplexed! I checked my Address Book. The set up is correct on both of my personal Powerbook G4 and office Mac G5. I am not sure how "[email protected]" with missing "c" for "com" had occurred.
    Is there something I should check out to fix this problem. It started in early August 2007. It never happend before.
    Here's the actual message:
    This is the Postfix program at host fallback.us4.outblaze.com.

    It's gotta have something to do with: "mac.om" Where is it getting that from?

  • When exiting Yahoo sideshow the program will not go back to the Yahoo mail and drops out the sideshow for future use unless I sign out of Firefox completly and re-enter. What needs to be done to correct this problem?,

    Every time I use the sideshow feature of Yahoo Mail, it locks out the Yahoo Mail when I try to exit the sideshow feature and I have to sign completely sign out of Firefox to have the feature restored. Even using the refresh key, it removes this feature and causes it to act as though I am not authorized to view the feature. Is there something that I need to set?

    I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

  • TS3276 problem with mail delivery

    has anyone else gotten a "problem during delivery processing" message with each outgoing message? it just randomly started happening to me this morning.  it says my message was sent but the reason:  Error in sieve filter: Notify mailto: recipient is not a valid address
    one comes from postmaster@mac and one comes from Internet Mail Delivery....

    My Wife and I both have an Ipad and an iPhone, I use an iMac and my wife a MacBook Pro.
    I have this problem with all my devices.
    My wife has NOT got this problem.
    We both use a [email protected] email acount.
    Just compared the settings:
    For "Incoming server" I have p03-imap.mail.me.com
    My Wife has p02-imap.mail.me.com .... and has not got this problem.
    I have setup a new rule for incoming mails (for the meantime):
    move all incoming emails from [email protected] to trash and delete it.
    Works fine for now,......until APPLE deals with the problem.

  • So out of nowhere my computer gets all these strange problems... Headache

    Recently, after having my computer problem-free for quite some time now since the day I bought it, I'm starting to have problems with my Mac. Out of nowhere really, I'm getting several seemingly random problems I'll just go ahead and list:
    - iTunes won't open.. says "an unknown error occurred (13014)"
    - The Spotlight search function in the top-right corner is gone
    - Can't change my desktop background
    - Can't drag & drop icons on desktop or toolbar
    Among other problems...
    Even more, when I entered my OS X Installation disc it wouldn't allow me to reinstall it. Then when I go to eject the CD, it won't allow it to come out. Very strange indeed... Like I said before, my Mac was problem-free until now. I had none of these strange problems until just the other day.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

    If you are under warranty, make a Genius Bar appointment and take it in.
    You should also try running Repair Permissions from Applications/ Utilities/ Disk Utility.
    If you really cannot get your install disc to load, try starting in single-user mode and running the fsck command:

  • Mail delivery error with 5510 e-print. updates and connection are ok. friend has same problem.

    I have checked all of the updates and connections for my new printer.  As far as I can tell, I've checked everything that needs to be checked and all is good.  But, I still get the Mail Delivery error when e-printing.  And my friend has the same problem with her new 5510 b111a.  What could possibly be the problem?  Regular printing, scanning and so on work fine with my wireless connection.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    So it sounds like it may be an Issue with the provided Email Address from your internet service provider, you are sending from ,
    What i would suggest as a test is to create a Email account either with g mail and or yahoo, and try to send the email to your eprint account/Email, and see if it accepts the email also, make sure you have your printer set to Accept email from all users you can do this by logging into Eprint Center and then going into these settings and selecting that option
    I am an HP employee.

  • Mail Delivery System  email problems

    After (unsuccessfully) bouncing some suspicious emails I now have 37 Mail Delivery System emails which refuse to be deleted no matter what I do. I can delete them and they go to trash but then they appear back in the inbox. For a while these emails were 'empty' as in I could not open them as there was nothing but the email title there but now they have suddenly become readable and they all have the same address which obviously could not be bounced and some have the junk sign next to them which I can't get rid of either. It is very annoying although obviously it does not affect anything other than it looks awful to have 37 emails from the same place. Incidentally I think that there are actually only 2 emails as there are only 2 different time stamps on them and I think that they have multiplied due to me deleting them so often and them reappearing again. Hope this makes sense to someone!

    eventually the emails disappeared!

    How this started:
    Over the past couple of days to approx a week, I have seen a massive influx of Spam on our server.  Spam coming in on random ex employee names that no longer work for the company.
    Previous to the spam, I turned on "forward un-deliverable mail to" and set to me.  The CEO was missing emails because people were not spelling his name correctly.  I have actually been able tyo catch a lot of employee emails some important, others not.
    In trying to make the mail server more secure, one of the features I tried to turn on was SMTP Client Restrictions, Which broke SMTP for my users.  Obviously the error is mine and I need to do more research, but love some feedback on what needs to be set on the server and clients for SMTP client restrictions to work.
    I know THE HOFF (mr hoffman) had information at some point to help users secure postfix, can anyone point me in the right direction, as well as any tips here on how to stop the influx of spam?

    I am not certain what you mean by immediately removing the 192.1.1.10 and 192.1.1.11, AIX servers that I use to relay admin emails to an IT address here.  Some sort of a gateway implemented on a pair of IBM boxes, I might presume. 
    192.1.1.0/24 is in a public address space that you don't have assigned (unless you're BBN).  If that IP routing leaks out, then some folks can get cranky.  Or should you eventially need to contact hosts within the address space of the "real" occupants of 192.1.1.0/24, routing won't necessarilt play nice.  There may well be a static IP route here, depending on the details of the router configuration, as otherwise that IP traffic would be going to BBN and not to those servers.  The Internet works because folks play by the rules, when working with IP routing and DNS services.  And if your predecessor used this address space (and not the likely 192.168.0.0/16 block), I'd look around to see if there were other unusual network configuration choices.
    TCP port 25 is the server-to-server mail port.  That's the main connection used among mail servers.  Blocking that has the effect that you've discovered.
    It's the clients that can also use that port that need to be relocated off the port, as the clients don't have the reverse DNS and related tests that would allow them access to that port, with various common server security configurations.
    Open TCP 587 at the firewall and ensure that this port is active at the mail server host, as a starting point.  You can test that with (among other tools) with a remote "telnet your.mail.server.host.name 587" command or similar; that's a primitive (but effective) (common) port test.
    With the Apple Mail client, make sure the SMTP server is configured to use the default SMTP ports.  Mail > Preferences > Account > Account Information > Edit SMTP Server > select the target SMTP server > Advanced > select "use the default ports (25, 465, 587)" and consider using SSL and authentication.  (Apple Mail tries a few ports automatically, so the set-up can be different than other clients.)
    I don't have enough space here for a full write-up on how mail or IP works, and setting up an arbitrary mail client or an IP network can be an adventure; I assumed the Apple mail client in the above.  See the user collaboration services disscussion of mail services in the Mac OS X Server Advanced Administration manual as some background.  (And if this stuff all looks a little cryptic, that's understandable, and you might want to consider getting some set-up help or consider moving to hosted mail services and making this stuff somebody else's problem.)

Maybe you are looking for
