Mail SMTP Broken

Been trying to get help fopr a few days now...
Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion server via Migration - Everything worked - then I upgraded to 10.8.3 and Mail wont go - Ive tried every configuration - All my MX records work, According to Terminal My DNS is fine (I'm no IT professional)
Connection Doctor says My Mail client (Apple Mail 6.0.3) is connected to the servers OK but when I send emails (to myself via an external email account as well as using the internal one) I get

Any Ideas? - Im no IT professional but this seems a bit broken....

I have noticed that MacMail SMTP just DOES NOT WORK when faced with very a very slow upload connection.
I have an ISP at home with an adequate download speed and a dismal upload speed. Sending mail, even plain text messages, regularly results in a timeout or server not available error.
Since I am using a laptop, I tried using the same computer, same settings to an open WiFi zone with a zippy upload connection speed. That worked like a charm; messages connected to my SMTP server and sent; even large messages with attachments that always choked at home.
So, part of the bug might be the SMTP server timeout settings? Or Apple's SMTP connection protocols? It seems that they expect a zippy broadband connection in order to work properly.

Mail - SMTP - Broken Sub-accounts.

Hello All,
I have an email account with an ISP that provides a main account and a number of sub-accounts that I use for family members. All accounts are receiving their email via Mail but only the main account is being allowed to send outbound mail via the SMTP server.
All accounts are expected to log on the the SMTP server authenticated with the username and password of the main account holder in BASE64 and the MAIL FROM field set to that of the main account holder. This have been working without fail for years using Mail until recently.
I have since used telnet, as below, to confirm the above.
HELO
AUTH LOGIN
<main account email address in BASE64>
<main account password in BASE64>
MAIL FROM:<main account email address>
RCPT TO:<[email protected]>

to:<[email protected]>

Can someone confirm that Mail has been changed in someway in a recent upgrade to cause the above.
Thanks in advance.

None that I'm aware of and even if possible, this does not fix the problem.
Has your wife's email only account created as a .Mac type account ever downloaded messages from the server?
If not, any error message provided?
To confirm, if the Mail.app is not set to save sent messages on the server for your wife's email only account, are sent messages available in the account's Sent mailbox under Sent in the mailboxes drawer?
If not, I would try deleting and re-creating the account first.

An error occured while sending mail: SMTP server error. The server responded: (null)

I'm getting this set of error messages intermittantly:

This problem may occur at low-use times when Messaging is installed with the
Trend virus protection software on the same system.
<P>
Change the version of the Trend software from 3.0 to the older 2.62 version.

It's possible that your provider has made a change.
I think STARTTLS usually is used with port 587, instead of the standard SSL port 465.
Could you look up your provider's current SMTP settings to see whether your "Outgoing Server" settings need to be updated? If it's difficult to translate between your provider's help page and Thunderbird's dialog controls, you could provide a link to your provider's help page.

Setting the JavaMail properties especially: mail.smtp.timeout

Hello,
I am desperately trying to set the mail.smtp.timeout on a Spring JavaMailSenderImpl.
Here is what I undertook:
<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
<property name="host" value="${mail.server}"/>
<property name="port" value="${mail.port}"/>
<property name="javaMailProperties">
<props>
<prop key="mail.smtp.connectiontimeout">1000</prop>
<prop key="mail.smtp.timeout">1000</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
The javaMailProperties seem to be completely ignored by my Java Mail implementation. Can anyone please help?
If I can't set this property through Spring, how can I set it?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

I notice the API documentation for com.sun.mail.smtp says that property should be an int. Is it possible that Spring doesn't know that, and sets it as a String by default? And that you should be specifying the property type somehow?
Note: I know nothing about Spring except what it's for. This is just speculation.

IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months. I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

Mac OS X Leopard Mail SMTP server keeps going offline and won't come on

My SMTP in mail on my email accounts keeps going offline and I can't work out how to get it working again. My internet connection is fine. I am receiving emails. I was able to send earlier on my business email account but now my .mac account has gone offline and then my business on went on me.
I only started using my business email account in mail today and loaded the account into mail. Does anyone have any answers for this as I can see there have been some other people who might have had a similar problem but I can't see any fixes?
I have deleted and reloaded both my .mac and work account a couple of times now and restarted my computer but still no good.
Can anyone help?

I have that offline mail smtp server when I try to send emails from work with my macbook. I've always been able to send emails away from home using the login and password in the smtp configurations. It's a real pain since I use one email account for work and personal business. I can receive email but cannot send any. Everytime I have to answer an email while I'm working, I have to go to the browser, go to my provider's mail page, login and send from there my emails.
Do we have the same problem?

"mail.smtp.from" is not working for me

There seem to be zero other posts like this, so I'm probably just doing something obviously dumb,
but for me, setting the mail.smtp.from property seems to have no effect.
The debug output shown below says to me that while the property has been set, the transport is using the From address not the value of the property.
Any suggestions for what might be causing this?
//set:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTPServers ); //see below
prop.put("mail.smtp.from","[email protected]");
sessions{i} = Session.getInstance(prop, null);
//use:
System.out.println("(session mail.smtp.from is '" + sessions{i}.getProperty("mail.smtp.from") + "')");
sessions{i}.setDebug(true);
mimeMsg = generateMimeMsg(msg, sessions{i});
Transport.send(mimeMsg);
//the console output:
(session mail.smtp.from is '[email protected]')
DEBUG SMTP SENT: mail from: <[email protected]>
//note - Looks like this forum's software is grabbing my square brackets,
so {i} in this post stands for opensquarebracket i closesquarebracket...

I haven't read the FAQ, at least not lately. I'm just stating an interpretation of the behaviour that you described.
Normally, system properties are used to specify defaults that can be overridden. It doesn't make sense to me to have to set a system property to "override" something that you do normally in your code. As a designer, it's obvious to me that the system property should be the default value for "from" and it should be possible to override that on a message-by-message basis by explicitly setting (and thus overriding) the from-address. And you confirm that it really does work that way. I'm not surprised at all. I would suggest that if the FAQ doesn't say that, then it needs to be fixed.

Testing Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server does not work

I want to set up the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) servers using the Notification Methods page. After filling-in the fields with the correct name of the server and a correct email address, when I click on Test button, it returns the following error:
<br>

<br>
By the way, the outgoig email server is using port number 25
<br>
How can I resolve the issue?

Setting 'mail.smtp.localhost' to make things work

Hello
I was getting this error with my initial attempts to send myself an email using JavaMail:
javax.mail.MessagingException: 501 Syntactically invalid HELO argument(s)
After hunting around for a while I came across references to doing this:
props.put( "mail.smtp.localhost", "localhost" )
So I tried it, and it works!
I'm happy about that, but I would like to find out why? I just cannot seem to find an answer anywhere.
I run Windows XP, and my hosts file has not been changed - localhost is still there, as shipped. When I call this:
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
I get the $COMPUTERNAME value for my PC which happenes to be "HARRY_PC".
My real concern is what will happen when I deploy my application to other machines - is this little 'hack' likely to break things?
Hmm...
Many thanks!

Thanks for that link.
I had actually looked at it earlier, and next to the 'mail.smtp.localhost' property it reads:
Local host name. Defaults to InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(). Should not normally need to be set if your JDK and your name service are configured properly.
Which begs the question: how should my JDK and/or my name service be configured?
I am sorry to say that I have no idea what JDK configurations to consider, and I do not think a name service is used in my simple test application.

Mail.smtp.host ??

if I want to send a mail to example: [email protected], what do i have write in properties objet? My code is:
String host = "?????????";
String from = "[email protected]";
String to ="[email protected]";
// Get system properties
Properties props = System.getProperties();
// Setup mail server
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
// Get session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
System.out.println("Creo objeto sesion");
// Define message
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
System.out.println("Creo objeto Mime");
try{
// Set the from address
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set the to address
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
// Set the subject
message.setSubject("Hello JavaMail");
// Set the content
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Falla");
}

read the tutorial carefully, everything is explained in the tasks, let this as it is
String host = args[0];
String from = args[1];
String to = args[2];
at runtime give the required details the way its given in the task!!

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server

Trying to test/setup send email at EMDBControl to my email [email protected], wondering what i should put in
outgoing Mail (SMTP) server box?
after setting up notification when i press test button, getting erro, [email protected] : Failed to connect to gateway:smtp.gmail.com sending failed

As far as I'm aware, GMail isn't running a public SMTP server. Assuming you're running this on your home machine, does your ISP have a SMTP server you could use?

URGENT::Status returned by Transport.send() and problem with mail.smtp.host

Hello,
I am writing a code to send an email using JavaMail. I have added mail.jar and activation.jar in the classpath. Also I would like to mention that I am using Weblogic6.1 SP4.
A bunch of questions:
1. After calling Transport.send(), how do i know if the mail was sent successfully or not ?? Is there anyway I can handle that?
2. I am using props.put(mail.smtp.host, <some-value>). What should be this <some-value> ?? Where can I get this value from??
And is this value sufficient for the code to know that which server we are using for it? Do we need to give any URL/Port etc? How does this work?
3. Is there anything else other than smtp host, username and password to be added to props?? Do we need to create a properties file??
4. After doing these things, do I need to create a mail session in the Weblogic server also or is it a different method?
Please help me in resolving these issues.
Thanks

Thanks for your kind answers, Dr. Clap..!!
However, I will again like to ask u this:
1. As i said that I installed Weblogic 6.1 in my local machine, can I use it as the mail server? As the server is local to my machine, i know that its only me who is the incharge of it. How do I know what smtp host to use.
2. I am using this code:
public callService(ServiceRequest request) throws Exception {
     EmailRequest req = (EmailRequest) request;
     Session session = null;
     MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
     String accNum = req.getAccountNumber();
     String toAddress = req.getToAddress().trim();
     String fromAddress = generalConfig.FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS;
     String subject = req.getSubject().trim();
     String message = req.getMessage().trim();
     String [] arrToAddress = null;
     String fileName = "./"+accNum+".htm";
     if (toAddress != null) {
arrToAddress = convertToArray(toAddress);
     Properties props = System.getProperties();
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", "MYSERVER"); //STILL NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT VALUE TO PUT HERE
session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
     setRecipientsTo(msg,arrToAddress);
     msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromAddress));
     msg.setSubject(subject);
     msg.setText(message);
MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart text = new MimeBodyPart();
     text.setDisposition(Part.INLINE);
     text.setContent(message, "text/html");
     mp.addBodyPart(text);
     MimeBodyPart file_part = new MimeBodyPart();
     File file = new File(fileName);
     FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(file);
     DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(fds);
     file_part.setFileName(file.getName());
     file_part.setDisposition(Part.ATTACHMENT);
     file_part.setDescription("Attached file: " + file.getName());
     file_part.setDataHandler(dh);
     mp.addBodyPart(file_part);
     msg.setContent(mp);
Transport.send(msg); //send message
In this code, like I am using Properties class, will this code work fine(as it is) even if I dont make any Properties text file?? or is it mandatory for me to make the properties text file and to add some values to it?
I am sorry, I may sound a bit dumb, but I just need to learn it somehow.
Thanks.
P.S: convertToArray() and setRecipientsTo() are my own defined private methods.
