Mail recieving but not sending on Yahoo account!

Hi,
I have had my Yahoo email set up and running fine through Mail for the last year or so. However for the last couple of days I can receive email's but not send them.
I have three yahoo accounts and it's the same on all three. I've tested the connection settings and they're all fine. I've even deleted the accounts from Mail and set them up again from scratch.
I get the following error:
*'Sending the message content to the server failed.*
*Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.'*
Anyone else getting this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Steve

In order to prevent spam and address spoofing, some mail systems are now being set to disallow 'relay'
That is, sending to another host via an intermediate account.
Example: Your mail account is [email protected]
You are popping mail from [email protected] You get a message at your yahoo address from [email protected]
When you try to reply to the yahoo message from your host.com account, you are trying to use host.com as an intermediate to yahoo.com, which will in turn send the reply to [email protected]
you are thus asking host.com to relay a message from [email protected] to [email protected]
In reality, host.com has no idea who [email protected] is.
So it refuses to allow an unknown user from a foreign system to use it's mail server to send to a 3rd mail server. This is considered relay, and it's a favorite tactic for spammers.
That may be why you are told to "select a different outgoing server"

  • Yahoo Mail issue, able to recieve but not send.

    I sold my friend my Macbookpro running 10.5.3 and he is able to receive emails but not send them even though the MBP makes the sound like the email was sent. Yahoo says they are not reaching their server. I told him to repair disk permissions which may be a long shot and if that did not work to add a new user account and re setup the email account over again and see if they go out from there. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I know I have had this issue before but it was just because my outgoing mail server was not typed in properly.
    He says everything is correct. Could it be a port issue?

    Please see if the Apple mail troubleshooting support article resolves this misbehavior. 
    Sending is the SMTP path, which is the one that nobody new to mail can find — mail uses POP or IMAP for receiving, and SMTP for sending, and there are separate settings, servers and login credentials for each.  To get to the SMTP settings, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the failing account > Account Information > select Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to Edit Mail Server List > select the SMTP account > verify the settings for the server, that SSL/TLS is enabled (usually) or not (rare), and that your username and password are correct.  Like the POP or IMAP settings, these SMTP settings and credentials are also specific to your mail ISP, which means I don't know exactly what the required settings are here. 
    With the way that mail pops up that infernal "do you want to cause yourself grief by changing your password?" dialog box on transient network errors, it's very easy to get an incorrect password set, too.
    I'm not sure why you've listed web server, Linux, Apache and PHP in your posting.

  • Can recieve but not send email with Airport

    Hi there,
    I'm currently using my mac to connect to the internet via an airport express configured on my partners powerbook, it all works fine to connect to the internet and to recieve emails through 'Mail' but i can't send any...
    Could anyone offer any advice on how to reconfigure my settings to allow me to use my emails properly?
    Incidently, the existing network connection i'm now using is through BT internet whereas my account is with virgin.net.
    Why can i recieve mail but not send?
    OK, hope someone can help...
    Thanks, steven.

    Without you being specific about your problem, I am guessing you have the same problem I had. You can look at the following
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75124
    or describe the error message that comes up when you send e-mail.

  • Mail, receiving but not sending

    Mail is playing up after I installed a new Snow Leopard system. I can receive but not send. As far as I can tell I have all the right settings. My (don't tell anyone) PC laptop works perfectly.Can anyone tell me where I should be looking?

    Open Mail and look in Mail menu item "Window". In the drop-down select "Connection Doctor" and before checking in Connection Doctor look at the bottom of it's pane and show the read out print, then click on check server connection. This way you can see what the server is telling your Mac. Maybe you didn't set up the SMTP server settings correctly.

  • Apple Mail will recieve but not send

    Anyone have a problem with apple Mail not sending - meaning the button clicks but the application will not create the action. "Click" and nothing happens for Send, Reply,or Reply All. No mail server issues, has been working for ever, then just stopped. I repaired all the permissions but still not working! HELP!

    Mail > Mailbox > Take all Accounts Online ...
    ... is what made them go for me.
    I also opened the:
    Mail > Window > Previous Recipients  ...
    ...list, and thinned it out substantially, and got much better co-operation from Mail after that. It really was full of useless, dead, and damaged from/to addresses, and that seemed to send Mail into uselessly chasing through them all.

  • HT1277 Mac Mail receiving but not sending. smtp not working

    I have been using Mac Mail with my Gmail account without any trouble for the last few years and just for the last 2-3 weeks I cannot send any e-mails. I am receiving without any problems, but no matter what I do it won't send, not even an e-mail to myself. My Calendar is set up to send my notifications and those won't even go. I have verified my settings (time and time again), I deleted and reset-up my account, in the last two weeks I have done everything I can, but can't figure it out so I am getting kind of desperate. I am sure that it is something to do with smtp but all of my settings for that are right too (in accordance to the Gmail and Apple sites). What I have done is just read and responded to my e-mails (when I do it offline) and then I have to log into my gmail account and copy/paste ALL of my e-mails manually, which I am sure you can imagine is extremely inefficient. Thank you to anyone who can help!
    Running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Mail 4.5 and accessing Gmail

    Here is a screen shot too, not that it says much, but this is what I always get, no matter the settings (since they are all correct! OH! I guess I should also mention that I currently live in Africa and that I am using my Blackberry Bold as a modem to get internet on my computer, but I have been doing that since last year and never had a problem until now.
    Also, I did just very recently (as in a couple weeks ago), insert a new modem to my computer to try a second method of getting the internet on my computer other than my phone, and it didn't really work so I am back to just the phone again... would that simple installation have anything to do with Mail not sending e-mail? I can't imagine that it would, But I have seen stranger things.

  • Can recieve but not send emails, although outgoing server settings look ok.

    I am able to receive email, but I am not able to send email. I have run the connection doctor - My email connects to the internet; I connect to the incoming mail server, but I am not able to connect to the Outgoing Mail Server.
    I have looked at the settings on the outgoing server 'edit server list' and they appear fine. The smtp address is ok, as is the username and password. I have selected 'Use Default Ports 25, 465, 587', as usual. Still it won't connect to the Outgoing Mail Server. It was working fine 24 hours ago, and I haven't changed anything... It now says that both of my outgoing servers are offline, although my colleagues can all send emails from these servers, the problem is only with my laptop.
    Any ideas? I have emails that urgently need to be sent.
    Thanks in advance!

    I am in an identical boat! Except that in my case it is a result of having re-installed OS10.5.8 (archive install) over 10.6.2 (as the latter was causing more trouble than advantage).
    In another thread, procedure for re-set included erasing "com.apple.mail.plist", but I don't have one
    The 'network diagnostics' button is greyed out in 'connection doctor'; maybe irrelevent since internet and incoming emails to one of 2 accounts are working. But also Connection Doctor shows doubled-up accounts, probably 1 set originating from connection protocol during OS10.5.4 installation when I was guessing at the settings and the other from editing the preference panes to those I have working fine on my G4 powerbook (not identical as that is in 10.4.11 & Mail 2.1)

  • Mail receives but not send

    Hi,
    I can receive mail in Mail.app but it won't let me reply at all, nor forward.
    If I click 'Reply' or 'Reply-All' absolutely nothing happens - no opening of email to type a reply. If I forward an email it sometimes opens an email but I cannot send anything at all.
    At the moment I'm using Thunderbird which I don't really like but it's better than nothing as I have quite a few email accts in everyday use.
    Can anyone help?

    Hello Helen,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign? Is it POP or IMAP?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

  • I can recieve but not send mail

    I bought a mac book pro yesterday in combination with a time capsule; everything went fine until I tried to send an email...
    it is very slow and now it is inpossible...

    Yes this would be a outgoing mail issue. Make sure the smtp setting are correct. Some servers require authentication to send. Also make sure you are using the correct smtp settings for the ISP you are using.
