Mail is bouncing back

people tell me my mail is bouncing back to them. I have also had a few problems sending mail. I will send a type only message and it goes on and on like i am sedning an attachement. then if i open the activity viewer and cancel it it won't work and the next time I open up mail it keeps trying to send the smae email again. I have to force quit and try to delete that email.

Brian,
Please clarify: people attempting to send you an email get it bounced back to them? And/or you mail is not getting to them?
In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and locate the Outbox.mbox. Is this Outbox.mbox folder at the first level of the Mailboxes folder?
More info, please.

Mails getting bounce back from only one account,why?

Hi Every one,
I have a strange problem, I'm using postfix mail server and LDAP directory service.
From last few day I'm facing strange problem. Like I have 15 user account configured for accessing emails.
In that, only one user gets bounce back messages. I found the issue but not sure how to fix it.
Issue:
If I stop the (LDAP) directory and mail service and restart my Leopard server and services. I can send emails through. But after few days or a week later i have to face the same issue.
Help Please
Thanks,
Gulab Pasha

If you right-click on an accont's inbox and select "Synchronize {name}", that should perform the "get new mail" function as part of the general synchronization.

HT1338 My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again. Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?

That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

AOL mail bounce back

I am getting bounce backs from any mail sent to an AOL account. The mail will go through if I log onto my mailbox at my ISP provider (Optimum Online). The bounce back has this message:
Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred
Diagnostic code: smtp;554-: (ISP:B2) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554ispb2.html TRANSACTION FAILED
Remote system: dns;mailin-01.mx.aol.com (TCP|167.206.4.199|54475|205.188.156.185|25) (rly-ya06.mx.aol.com ESMTP mailrelayin-ya6.5; Thu, 31 May 2007 10:17:46 -0400)
If I go to the aol link in the message I get this explanation;
554 ISP:B2
http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554ispb2.html
EXPLANATION:
Your IP address has generated a high volume of mail to AOL which exceeded our rate limit or has generated AOL member complaints. Possible causes include a compromised or virus-infected personal computer or a non-disclosed server relaying mail within the ISP's network. Note, this block is automatically removed within 24 hours.
SOLUTION:
The IP address in question is not the connecting MTA, but is commonly the originating IP. If your originating IP is static and has valid and meaningful reverse DNS, then please contact us with that IP. If you are not sure what your originating IP address is or if you are unsure as to whether your originating IP is dynamic or static, please contact your ISP for further information regarding your type of service.
If you are sending large volumes of mail from a dynamic IP address, please contact your ISP and inquire about purchasing a static IP or business class IP address. Furthermore you can attempt to reduce the amount of email recipients sent during one session. If you are sending to a mailing list you should verify that the recipients on your list are still interested in receiving your email.
If you did not send an extraordinary amount of email, we recommend scanning your computer or network for viruses and malicious applications.
If you are an ISP receiving this error from an excessive number of your customers you may have an undisclosed proxy or relay on your network. Please contact us to resolve this issue.
I am not sending high volumes of mail to AOL unless one or two emails a day is large. This is a recent problem. Has anyone experienced this or does someone have a solution? My ISP says there is nothing they can do on their end and AOL won't talk to you unless you have a paid account.
Dan

AOL's explanation per the link provided covers your options.
* You contacted your ISP which indicated there is nothing they can do or there is nothing they are willing to do in your behalf.
* You are not sending high volumes of mail to AOL.
* You can scan your Mac for viruses and malware which can't hurt but will be a waste of time in this situation.
This leaves contacting AOL. Other than that, wait until the 24 hour block period has expired.

Mail with PDF attachments bounce back??

I often send time-sensitive PDFs that need to be reviewed quickly so it ***** to learn a couple of days later that the delivery failed! Is there a way that mail can inform that the email DID arrive successfully? Or is there a way to reduce the amount of times mail tries to send it before it notifies me it failed? Also, any ideas why these emails fail in the first place? They are not huge files!

I don't think this is a Mail issue, I think it's to do with the receiving ISP and the reason the mail can't be delivered. For example, if the address does not exist the mail will probably bounce back straight away but if the recipient's mail box is full then the server may try later and if it's been emptied, the mail will go through - if not, after a few tries it will bounce. Hence the delay.

TS3899 WWhen I try to access my email, I can see mail in the preview page but when I click to go to my inbox it bounces back out to my password again, so I re-enter password and it just keeps bouncing out - help!

Hi

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Hi,
Which type of email account are you using? POP, IMAP or Exchange?
Please first log on your web mail and check if the undelivered notifications are in your webmail spam folder.
Please also try to send an useless wrong email address from web mail and check if you will get the undelivered notification.
Please let me know the result.
Best Regards,

A number of posters are reporting this problem. It could be a problem with the Yahoo server. If deleting and setting up thevaccount again is not the solution then give it a few hours.

Google bounces back mail containing Pages document

In the upgrade to Maverick and the Pages (5.0?) upgrade, mail being sent to a gmail account are consistently being bounced back, with Google claming that it almost certainly contains spam.
In earlier searches for answers, Google claimed that it was a defect in Apple's product; not THEIR fault, in otherwords. But it is still ongoing.
How and when will this issue be resolved?
Below is the bounceback message:
Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred
Diagnostic code: smtp;552-5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential issue. Please visit http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answe to review our message content and attachment content guidelines. k8si3219220paw.102 - gsmtp
Remote system: dns;gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (TCP|17.172.220.237|47648|173.194.79.26|25) (mx.google.com ESMTP k8si3219220paw.102 - gsmtp)

I think it's got to do with the fact that the new .pages files are actually packages. (Right click on the file in the Finder and you'll see an option to "Show Package Contents.") Google and others (Mozy, for instance) aren't recognizing the packages as vaild files, as far as I've been able to learn.
I fear that both sides, Apple and the others, are going to simply point fingers (i.e. not my problem) and nothing will get done.
The new files are being referred to as the unified file format.

Urgent!!! how to trap bounced back mails thru java mail

Hi,
I want to trap a bounced back thro java mail. Is there any way out. Please help. Its urgent.

Sure. Just look at your incoming mail and identify the ones that are the bounce messages. That's easy to say, but there is no standard for the format of a bounce message, so every mail server uses their own. However, you can generally identify them by their subject lines; you'll have to look at some actual bounce messages to decide what to look for. So far I have found about 10 different formats.

Mail won't stay in folders in Mavericks. It bounces back to the inbox.

This happens intermittently. I will drag mail to a folder from the inbox after reading it, and a few minutes later, the mail will be back in my inbox. It doesn't happen with all messages, but it will happen over and over with the same emails. It never happened before installing Mavericks. Any help would be amazing, as this is seriously cranking my Inbox Zero obsession!

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
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. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
