Mail doesn't recognize email address I'm sending to

I'm trying to send an email to a group in my address book but whenever I try to send it I get the error message:
"The server “smtp.mac.com” did not recognize the following recipients:" and then lists most of the email addresses I'm sending to.
I don't think I could have that many of the email addresses wrong, so I have no idea what's wrong. Does anyone have any advice?

Unfortunately, the ISP's have been catching so much flak for spewing spam that they have resorted to methods to protect their reputations regardless of how you want to work.
The most obvious spam in the world is a message with a large number of recipients.
PC users can not be trusted by their ISP's because their machines are infested so often with programs designed to spread spam.
If an ISP is accused of sending too much Spam they run the risk of getting dumped to the "Black Hole" by other ISP's and that damages the ISP's ability to do business. Hence the reason for the ISP's to get involved. They never cared much before now, until it started affecting their business.
So, because of the trash and bull that's been going on with the Trojan Programs on Windows machines for the last 4 years, I don't think you can do much, except to try other mail servers that may not interfere with your messages. If you get your own domain on a host, you own the mail server. Maybe that's an answer...

Server doesn't recognize email address

I can recieve email, but I can't send email. It keeps saying "server doesn't recognize email address."

Ok,
I have it working finally.
On a whim, I tried deleting the iCloud account (again) and reinstated it.
I set it up using [username]@me.com, and all is well.
This is the 2nd time i set it up this way, so I would suggest trying it again, if you have already.

Exchange account doesn't recognize email address

I recently got a new work email address using the new .brussels domain extension (instead of the old .be). For some reason OSX Yosemite doesn't accept this e-mail address when I set up my new Exchange account info. I had the same problem on my work PC but our IT guy managed to make Windows understand that .brussels is a perfectly normal email address. Is there any chance to make OSX accept the new (and a bit unconventional) domain extension?

Mail does not recognize email address for Address Book marked as "Company"

I have a bunch of Address Book entries with "Company" checked and no first or last name. After the SL upgrade, entering the name of the company into an email in Mail.app does not result in it recognizing the company as a contact, or using the saved email address. Oddly, if I edit the contact so that it has a first and last name, even if Company remains checked, Mail will come up with the correct address. Any explanation or work around for this?
I also noticed that all of such contacts, after the SL upgrade, no longer had the Company box checked, resulting in them all being listed as "No Name" -- but I fixed that by rechecking all of the boxes.

Hi murrxx,
Based on my experience, it just cannot send to the un-recognized email address. The remaining recipients will recieve the email.
Please changing to OWA to verify whether all the mails cannot be sent.
If in OWA, just the un-recognized email address cannot be sent, it should be an issue on the Outlook Client side.
Please run Outlook under safe mode for testing.
Also try to re-create new profile to refresh the caches.
Is there NDR returned back to us when we cannot send emails to all?
If has, please post the details.
Please also collect some related event logs for the further troubleshooting.
Thanks

IMessage doesn't recognize email addresses

Hello,
I'm having trouble sending iMessage messages to my contacts. Their email addresses aren't read as the ones registered to iMessage even if they are the Apple IDs.
I need to wait for someone to initiate an iMessage conversation before I can write them. Please help. Thanks

Thanks, ckuan.
Actually, I noticed that my gmail contacts register as imessage-able. I verified with my Yahoo! contacts and they say theyre using the correct yahoo! email address for their imessage. Does it take longer for Yahoo! to be verified as an iMessage device?

HELP HELP

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Safari doesn't recognize http addresses

When I input:
http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/academy/devonthink/videos/videotutorial- 1.mov
to safari, I get the error message:
Safari can’t open “http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/academy/devonthink/videos/videotutorial- 1.mov” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “http:”.
Huh? firefox had no problems opening the page.

Thanks for the response. Two questions:
1. I should know this, but it's been a long time, how do I create a new account? I know the account manager will allow to designate the new account as an admin.
2. Why is a new account needed?

What can I do when I try to access a URL and get the message "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:"?

I recently tried to download a pdf file from a website in the UK. Up popped a message saying the website could not be accessed, followed by this message: "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:". I was able to access the website easily (its domain was "www") and the page listing the pdfs, but could not download a pdf. Of course," c:" appears not to be a valid domain name, but why would anyone use "c:" in place of a domain name in their URL? And what can I do about the problem? I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10, but also have Firefox and Chrome loaded. Thanks.

An address starting with c: wouldn't be any kind of domain name. C: is the drive lettering system DOS and and later uses. By default, A: and B: are reserved for your first and second floppy disk drive. All hard drives are then named C: through Z:, if you have that many. C: is normally your startup disk.
Anyway, their PDF file is incorrectly linked to a file directly on the C: drive of someone's computer. It's not going to work no matter what you do.

N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending. Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

Automatically cc myself is not checked. I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab. Thanks

Mac OS X doesn't recognize Internet addresses starting with "lastfm:".

I am running Safari 5.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
I am unable to open my last.fm radio streams in the browser. I receive the message:
Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “lastfm://user/tivorion/recommended” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “lastfm:”.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It seems addresses starting with lastfm:// are opened in the Last.fm Scrobbler.
To listen to my radio streams, I had to go to http://www.last.fm/listen
Problem solved.

Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?
Was your email still working recently? Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to use it?
Have you been using an @icloud.com address or an @me.com address?

You are at least the second person to post the same thing today, so I don't know if there are problems with it. You clicked on the link to send reset info to your rescue email address as shown in steps 1 to 5 of the page that you posted from, and you've checked your spam folder as well as your Inbox ?
