Mail services refuse to send/receive emails.

Hi! I think Apple Server update (PPC) 10.4.9 has screwed up my mail settings...and hence i did a clean install of OS 10.4 (Tiger) with stock software and nothing else.
I added in the same configurations but the mail server just will not receive or send out any mails via smtp.
Here's the postconf -n output:
mail:~ colordoc$ postconf -n
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

inet_interfaces = all
mail_owner = postfix

smtpdsasl_authenable = yes

And here's part of the mail.log:

Did i forget any settings?
I would like to get the mail service up and running before I update to apple 10.4.x.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Please ignore the earlier post as I have made new progress.
The server is up and running...
It's a stock 10.4 Tiger server without any updates installed...
I've madesome changes..and amazingly the system came back alive...
I'm able to receive emails and send out emails but it's troubling me as i still see mails been deleted from queue in the mail.log

Can someone please point out if I have misconfigured the server...
Thanks!

I have a new ipad 2. The mail program refuses to send forwarded emails because the recipient "doesn't accept relays." My desktop and Blackberry forward emails to those recipients without difficulty. Help.

I have a new ipad 2. The mail program refuses to send forwarded emails because the recipient "doesn't accept relays." My desktop and Blackberry forward emails to those recipients without difficulty. Help.

I suspect that you are using the Forwarding option within Workgroup Manager, and this works outside of the postfix alias scheme. I think you should just set those users you are forwarding to, to normal mail users, and put their forwarding rules ALSO in the alias file, so you would have:
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: alex,yong
alex: [email protected]
That should do it. You really have to commit to either using Workgroup Manager or Postfix in their entirety. They don't really work too nicely in conjunction with each other.

Mail / Login in with Gmail/ received email ok but when problem sending.

I log into my mail using gmail, and was receiving email ok. I tried to send an email to my other gmail account, but it showed up in the spam ?? What's going on?
Thanks.

I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues. They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again. I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

Problems sending & receiving email in Mail program in iMac

I've just recently been unable to send & receive emails on my iMac. So far, no problems with iPhones or iPad. I've tried changing the server settings with info from Verizon's site and no luck. The server settings show "offline." Any ideas?

Wondering if you received a response. Same happening for a while now.

Thunderbird config to send/receive email

I tried configuring Thunderbird to send/receive email from my new verizon fios account. Simple Pop3 - how hard can it be? Well, using the settings provided, I am unable to send or receive email. I called and talked to tech support and they said they don't support Thunderbird, but I could talk to 'premium' support since they have no support boundaries. Well, I don't think I should have to pay to get my email setup to a POP3 client.
Here's my current config:
Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.23
Account:
Server Type: POP Mail Server
Server Name: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
Port 110
User Name: myname
Security Settings: Use Secure Connection: never
Use secure authentication - not checked
SMTP Server
Server Name: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Port: 25
User secure connection: no
When trying to send an email I get:
Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify...
When I try to get mail I get:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server incoming.yahoo.verizon.net responded: Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com
Any help would be appreciated.

That was the one thing the tech told me on the phone - to use verizon.yahoo.net for incoming and outgoing instead of verizon.net
Other than that, I'm not sure where else to check that that is correct.
If the agent told you to use the Yahoo servers, they were probably right. If you want to verify, you can log into your account at www.verizon.net and it should say that you have a Verizon with Yahoo account.
As for the settings:
1. Make sure the username and password that you have are the correct ones. Logging in to verizon.net will verify this.
2. Check your incoming server settings. They should look something like the following image. (Of course, where the example just says "username" your username should be filled in.)
3. Check your outgoing server settings. They should look something like the following image. (Of course, where the example just says "username" your username should be filled in.)
4. Make sure that the password you are entering is correct. I suggest typing it out in a notepad then using copy and paste to verify that it is correct, since it will appear as asterisks in Thunderbird. Once you have successfully sent and received a test message, you might consider checking the box for remembering your password, although this is less secure than typing it in every time.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, just let us know.

I have BIS but can't surf, send/receive email, use apps

i have BB Curve 8520. My BIS was running smoothly (sending and receiving emails real time and surfing the net through BIS), until i noticed when i tried to reply to an email that came in, it won't send. i noticed that it's fluctuating. i was able to send the email after a few minutes... then a few minutes later, i received a replied email from my friend, and when i tried to send my reply, i wasn't able to. also, i can't surf using the browser with the "internet browser" as default. i tried using my wifi and then suddenly all my emails started coming in, all emails that were not able to go through hours ago. my big question was why do i need to turn on wifi just to receive emails. but since i had my BIS for 2 months now, i can send and receive emails and surf through BIS itself without turning on the wifi. also, i can't use any of my apps like facebook, twitter, yahoo messenger, etc. They used to work fine with BIS... but now, i have to turn on the wifi connection, so i could log in with them. aren't these supposed to be running through BIS only?
I have GPRS on top, not gprs. my carrier says i have active data plan/BIS. but under Services Status..it says Blackberry Internet Service: Connection: not connected...
so, i wiped out my BB and deleted all third party apps. when this was done, i received emails telling me "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network" and even got "Activation Server" emails telling me that the emails that i have previously set up are now up and running. so i thought my BB is now ok.. i tried surfing, it was okay. after like about 5 minutes, it was down again. tried sending email but can't... i turned on the wifi and boom! the emails started coming in again.i have the Host Routing Tables and my Service Books in my BB. I have GPRS (not gprs) on top which means i have active BIS. i have registered my HRTs several times... and resending my service books... same thing...
the big mystery is when i turn on the wifi, the emails suddenly go through and i can send emails. i can open apps that used to only run on BIS. this is ok i guess, but i could never do any of these if i'm not connected to wifi.
my sister and i have the same BB... i removed my sim and inserted it to her BB and the BIS worked fine... i was able to surf and use apps.. but when i put my sim back on my phone, the problem still exists. i even used a different sim card that is also subscribed to BIS/data plan, and it still has the same problem... my guess is my carrier is right that my data plan is working ok and that my handheld itself has the problem...
i updated my OS, same problem.. wiped it out... used BBSAK, reinstalled OS... numerous battery pulls... same thing... i can receive the HRTs and service books, but after that can't do anything else like i used to... (send/receive emails, use apps like facebook, twitter, ym, etc., can't surf with internet browser - except when wifi is on everything else work fine even emails and apps)..
i would really appreciate your help guys.. thanks!

-My carrier has not reported any data outage.
- I'm in an area where I've had RIM data services (for months now). It has always been working well. I've never really had any problems with my BIS until 4 days ago when it just suddenly stopped sending/receiving emails, surfing through internet browser, using facebook, twitter, ym apps, etc..
-the big mystery is when i turn on the wifi, the emails suddenly go through and i can send emails. i can open apps that used to only run on BIS. this is ok i guess, but i could never do any of these if i'm not connected to wifi.
-i've read somewhere that it may be some application error or something, so I've wiped out my BB thrice now, deleted all third party apps, everything is clean i guess, but still I end up with the same problem.
-i updated my OS, same problem.. wiped it out... used BBSAK, reinstalled OS... same thing...
can you help me out with this? i have tried battery pull, wipe out and OS reinstallation lots of times but same problem happens...

Thunderbird is no longer able to connect to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,...Firefox connects well

Version 24.4.0 worked fine until yesterday (2014-04-06) running under windows 8.1 and suddenly it could no longer connetc to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,..). No change was done on my accounts configuration. Other applications connect correctly to internet. Some Windows 8.1 updates were automaticaly applied during the same period (??).
Any suggestion would be appreciate
Rgds

Thank you for your answer. Of course before posting I checked the differetn relmated topics..
As I explained nothing changed between the moment Thunderbird worked and the moment it stopped working. I checked the firewall (Norton intenet security) and the firewall of my router (Netgear). Nothing relates to Thunderbird.
I cans get my mail from another workqtation (ubuntu/evolution) with the same provider (same parameters). I just wonder if the last windows 8.1 updates could provoke this trouble...
For the moment I cannot get rid of this.

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.

I have recently purchase 8520 curve. I am not able to send /receive emails in my mobile because the word edge appears in small letters . Please help me by letting me know the procedure to solve the problem.

Did you subscribe for BIS or paid the amount to your service provider? If so call them and request assitance with setting up your BB for internet. If you are already subscribed you can check on Manage Connections, Mobile Network Options, Data Services should be set to "On". But I suspect your BIS is not configured by your service provider so call them.
