Mail Server SMTP

Where can i get hold of a free SMTP mail server to test my mail applications ?
Thanks

I went to http://www.google.com and did a search for "smtp server" and the second entry it returned was this:
"PostCast Server - free outgoing SMTP e-mail server

    me that 'outgong mail server (SMTP):   offline.....how do I get it "on-line".....

    Don't delete te old account yet.
    I think they're slowing nudging people to the fact that MobilMe & .mac is going away shortly in favor of iCloudinees!
    MobileMe & dot Mac will still work last I heard.
    iCloud Mail setup, even in 10.4/10.5…
    Don't delete your old account yet. Just setup a new one in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, little plus icon. Choose IMAP as account type, not ,mac or MobileMe.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com

    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

  • Mail: "outgoing mail server (smtp)" not being saved

    In Mail settings I have a default "outgoing mail server (smtp)" selected, but when I go to send mail, it changes to 'gmail'
    How can I get it to work the way it's supposed to.
    It's worked correctly for ever, but exhibited this new behavior recently.

    I think I have the same problem without Exchange involved. I have seven different email accounts and two of them are acting like you describe: changes like deleting doesn't reflect on other clients (like mobile phone email client and webmail).
    This also happens with read emails showing up unread so that if the email is been read and deleted same message can appear as new and when that message is deleted I can see two separate items of that same email message.
    Also all marks of reply, forward or flagged are gone when the email show up as new again.
    My service provider said that updates to Mail.app have previously made some big changes to way how it acts with email servers and thought that Mail is misbehaving with my two email systems.
    I am using IMAP protocol with all accounts.
    Thanks for any info and help!

  • Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

    I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

    I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
    Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
    Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

  • Lion Apple Mail resets Outoing Mail Server SMTP to NONE on all iCloud accounts

    When I edit accounts in Apple Mail.. sometimes  ALL of my iCloud accounts get their "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) reset from the associated iCloud servers to "NONE".   Which means I have to go to every account and reset them to the proper SMTP iCloud server from the SMTP server list.

    Thanks Lanny...tried it...still doesn't work.  Called Apple Support...switched to Tier 2 support person Chris P. Was on the phone with him for 2 hours and 38 minutes...we tried everything under the sun...still can't get to smtp.gmail.com...can't even telnet to it from Mac.  We did network testing too...he thought my router was blocking ports 25, 465 & 587 but the router wasn't. After exhausting every concievable MAC setting, trying a number or solutions, killing the account and re-installing multiple times, his conclusion is that there is a third party software "blocking" the send in gmail...ummmmm...makes no sense to me as everything worked perfectly until I upgraded to OS X. Hence his solution is for me to take my Mac to the Apple Store and have them look at it.  My solution?  Don't use mail on the Mac and keep using Mail on my Windows machine.  I prefer Mac, but I have now spent over the last two days in excess of 10 hours on this problem...it's not supposed to be this difficult. Lesson Learned...if something's working, DON'T goof with it...Apple Mail under Snow Leopard worked perfectly...upgraded to Mt. LION (paid for it) and now I am really paying the price for doing that.   

  • TS4002 How do you re-establish the outgoing mail server (SMTP)?

    I am trying to re-establish my outgoing mail server (smtp).  I can receive mail, but can't send any out.  I have tried all the listed options in the pull-down, but just can't make any of it work.
    Bob

    If you are setting this up on your Mac using Snow Leopard, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330.  The outgoing mail server is smtp.me.com.

  • Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP)

    Does anyone know what the host name for the outgoing mail server is suppose to be, right now I have it listed as smtp1.attglobal.net, but it's saying cannot send out mail the connection to the outgoing server smtp1.attglobal.net failed. Can anyone give me the correct outgoing server.
    Jeff

    Try this first:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/mailhelper/
    The Outgoing mail server depends on who your email provider is. You can usually get information on the provider's web site for settings, or check the settings on your computer; they will generally be the same. HOWEVER, if your ISP is your email provider they may not allow use of their outgoing mail server unless you are connected to their network. In this case you would be able to send mail connected to your home wireless network, but no from other wireless networks or using EDGE on the phone.
    If this is your situation you have several options:
    1. For EDGE use only, use cwmx.com as the outgoing mail server, no user id or password. This will not work when connected via a WiFi network.
    2. Create a gmail account and use their server; this requires user id and password.
    3. Us a paid SMTP site (e.g., godaddy.com)

  • HT4759 (Macbook pro) in Mail my icloud account the smtp's server is offline & incoming gray?  the out going Mail Server (smtp) says icloud (offline) . how can it go online?

    In Mail,  my icloud account the smtp's server is offline & the incoming  server is gray? How can I reverse this ?
    did try going  on server SMTP in the edit section, both on " accout info" and "advance". no change. thanks

    Okay, fixed it on mine.  In Mail.app:
    1) Mail menu | Preferences.
    2) Select problematic account in list on left.
    3) Select "Edit SMTP Server List..." from Outgoing Mail Server drop-down.
    4) Fix username by appending domain name
        (append "@gmail.com" if standard account, or your own domain if apps user).
    5) Re-enter password.
    Save your preferences.

  • Mail server - smtp configuration questions

    i'm having a bit of trouble getting clear on how mail configuration works, in particular the settings relating to smtp.
    here are some questions i hope someone help with:
    1. am i correct that settings made on the the settings>relay tab apply only to when my server is used as a relay - and therefore would not apply to general incoming smtp connections when another server connects to mine for delivery to locally-hosted domains?
    2. there are three settings on the settings>relay tab. basically they are: "accept relays only from the specified addresses", "refuse all messsages from the specified addressses", and "use these rbl servers". the first two can seemingly each be separately enabled/disabled in addition to being configured with one or more addresses. my question is what happens if neither of the first two is checked (enabled)? does my server accept relay connections from anywhere? or does it accept no connections at all?
    3 on the settings>general tab, there is a checkbox to enable smtp... one would assume that if this is unchecked, that this would disable all incoming mail AND smtp relay, yet it seems i can have this unchecked and i can still configure smtp relay on the settings>relay tab, so that seems odd - am i missing something?
    4) on the same tab, it asks for a domain name and a host name. how are these used? what is the difference between the two? does it matter if my host accepts mail for multiple hosts (via host aliases - configured via settings>advanced>hosting>local host aliases)?
    5) i want my server to accept mail to anywhere from authenticated users (i.e. users on my network who are sending mail to random other places). i want my server to accept inbound mail (to users on my locally-hosted domains) from any server without requiring authentication. my guess is that this is a pretty common or standard config. i am confused by the settings>advanced>security tab, where i can seemingly allow certain types of authentication.
    5a) what are the semantics of the multiple check boxes for the different types of auth? if i select only one, does it mean that my server will require that specific type of auth? if i select more than one, does it mean that my server will select any of the specified types? what if nothing is checked - is that how you tell it to allow unauthenticated users to connect?
    5b) do the above auth settings apply both types of incoming smtp connections i described above? how can i configure it so as require smtp authentication from clients but not from servers connecting from other networks to deliver mail to my domain?
    thanks in advance.

  • Gmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is Offline

    Starting yesterday the gmail SMTP server is offline.
    I tried deleting and readding the accounts but to no avail.
    Any advice?
    Thanks so much.

    RESOLVED - I don't know how to delete this post, but suffice it to say, I quit mail, opened it and suddenly gmail became an option from the dropdown menu.
    Thank you, Lord!

  • Cannot find outgoing mail server (smtp) for my email account.

    I am trying to set up my college email account and cannot find the smtp sever. I contacted IT at my school and they said they had no idea what I was talking about... I know that it uses microsoft outlook.. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could find the server. (I did however find the mailgate and entered my username and password)

    johnnyg713,
    It sounds like your school might be utilizing an Exchange server. You may want to ask if it is possible to access the server via IMAP, and if so what to use for incoming and outgoing server settings.
    This article has more information on setting up email on the iPhone:

    Hope this helps,

  • Gmail smtp mail server verification

    I have lately upgraded to CF10 from CF9.
    Just lately I have noticed that I cannot get gmail smtp mail server verification within CFAdmin.
    I am using the same settings as before.  In fact, on an old machine using CF9 I still get mail server verification.
    MAIL SERVER: smtp.gmail.com
    USERNAME: [email protected]
    PASSWORD: xxxxxxxxxx
    SERVER PORT 25

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    I double checked the code and there are no server attributes in the cfmail tag.
    I also went through the troubleshooting gmail page link, and noted that everything was set correctly already.
