Mass mailing, one address wrong, entire batch doesn't send

I've had this problem for quite some time now and can't believe it hasn't been fixed yet. When using Mail, it seems that if even one email address is invalid an email with multiple addressees simply won't send. I get at "Can't send using the server _" message. Sometimes I also get a message that says, "The Server _ did not recognize the following recipients." then it shows a whole list of addresses which are absolutely valid. Do I really have to be that on top of every person in my Address book? That seems crazy. Thoughts anyone?
Thanks!
Ben

  • Mail 2.1.1 recieves but doesn't send mail and gives no error message?

    I've an issue with mail on an I-Mac with 2 gig intel core duo running O/S 10.4.9 and mail app version 2.1.1. I was using the machine at my studio for a studio manager. I downsized the studio and gave that machine to my parents who have been using an old G4 I gave them running o/s X and using the mail app for all their e-mailing. I migrated their old system from the G4 to the I-mac via target mode and everything seemed to be working until they tried to type more than one word in the body of the e-mail. once you hit the space bar and try to type another word it just gives an error tone. Also they are not able to send mail but are able to recieve. There is absolutely no error message or tone when you hit send or hit the return key. It just does nothing and gives me no feedback. I have gone through all the settings from the old machine which is sending and recieving mail as it has for the last 3 years with out incidence. I've updated the software, verified and repaired the disk and permissions. They are using RCN as their ISP with a cable modem. Again the G4 is working as it should with the exact same settings that the I-mac is configured with. Is there some issue with the older intel machines? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

    This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
    4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Receiving wrong e-mail from a wrong address

    Hey everyone is being a while I posted something or contribute something glad to be back. Just wonder if anyone out there having the same problem as I'm facing.
    I'm a .Mac suscriber so I have a .Mac mail account. Dud!!!
    The problem is lately I'm receiving quite a whole lot of junk mail (normally Mail or .Mac is quite good with junk); but, lately I pay close attention to all the junk that I had received over a week period and realize that I am getting mail that is not address to me.
    Explanation:
    For example my e-mail address is [email protected] (this is a fake e-mail if somebody have this address I apologize).
    Therefore, I'm also receiving e-mail that addresses to [email protected]
    The address is not the same but very similar. I just wonder if someone out there having the same dilemma. Because I'm just about to sumit to .Mac personel about this problem.
    Thanks for the info.

    If you're seeing similiar address on spam, it's likely that your email address is one of possibly many others included in the Bcc: or otherwise addressed to you and other recipients.
    It's quite easy for a bulk mailer to send a message out to various names, bob_jones, bob_johnson, etc. The sender doesn't really care if the addresses are wrong or if there is no one with that account because the return address is usually spoofed.. They won't see any Message Undeliverable messages.
    Bottom line, just another way for spammers to earn their living. Ignore it, and do what you can to protect your email address.

  • I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    Hello AndrewsAFCx,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • External mass mail to organization with a hidden email address

    Hi there,
    We are using an external mass mailer service to send our company newsletter to every employee in our organization. This causes a lot of stress on our 2010 Exchange box. To make things even more difficult, the mass mailer uses random mail servers, so we can't
    pointpoint one external sender address. 
    Here's what we need to accomplish:
    The newsletter should only be sent to a single account in the organization instead of mailing to hundreds of internal accounts. The newsletter needs to be distributed to every employee inside the Exchange organization with a hidden sender ("from").
    I was searching high and low but couldn't find the ideal solution.
    Any help is highly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Dennis

    Hi Dennis,
    I recommend you follow the steps below to achieve your goal:
    Create a distribution group, add all employees in it. The distribution group has a primary SMTP address, you just need to send to this address, all members can receive emails.
    About hiding sender, do you mean hiding sender's email address. If yes, I'm afraid this can't be achieved on Exchange server.
    Hope it helps.
    If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,
    Amy

  • Any ideas why one address from a group in address book is left off emails all others show in address bar of mail?

    I have a group in address book and when I either type first few letters of the groups name into a email form or open a new email form by right clicking on the group name in address book and choosing open new mail one of the addresses, always the same one, is always left off. I have checked the addresses and they are correct and when I use edit distribution list from address book the entry is shown in bold, which I believe shows its included. The address was added after the original list was made by dragging the address into the group, any ideas what I've done wrong please?

  • OS X Mail Replying from Wrong Address

    Clean install of OS X Mavericks, with multiple accounts in Mail (one iCloud, several Gmail).
    When I reply to an email sent to one of my GMail accounts, Mail always uses my iCloud account as the "From" address, and there doesn't seem to be any sane way to change this. The only option I can find related to this is the "Send new message from.." preference, which shouldn't be applicable as this is a *reply*, not a new message. I would have expected Mail to default the From address to match the address to which the original mail was sent (or at least to offer this option). But it doesnt, or at least I can't find a way to do this.
    Any ideas? Seems like an obvious need, and I'm getting very fruistrated with Mail trying to give everybody my iCloud email (which I keep for private correspondance).
    --TIm

    I think I've fixed the problem of sending an email from one account, but the replies coming back to another email account. Here are the 3 possible steps to fix the problem.
    1) Go to Mail-->Preferences-->General and set "If outgoing server is unavailable" to "Automatically try sending later"
    2) Mail-->Preferences-->Accounts--Account Information, for each account check the box the says "Use only this server"
    3) Mail-->Preferences-->Accounts-->Account Information, look for the drop list at the bottom labelled "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)". Click on the droplist and select the bottom item, "Edit SMTP Server List". Click on the Advanced tab. Check if your Authentication is set to "Password." Then make sure that the bottom Password box is filled in. (This is what was missing on the email accounts I started having trouble with. I don't know how they had disappeared, as it had been filled in before, but the missing passwords were my problem.) You need to do this for every email account to make sure the authentications are correct. You will be asked to save each change.
    When finished, close out of Mail and restart.
    I hope this helps!

  • Mail doesn't send to certain e-mail addresses, receiving seems ok

    I am using the latest version of the Apple Mail application under Leopard (with all updates downloaded). About a month ago I e-mailed a friend from my home account and unusually didn’t get a reply. I then e-mailed again a few weeks after, again no reply. After a phone conversation found out she didn’t receive either of my mails. This prompted many test e-mails, the outcome of which was the following:
    1 - Was able to receive my friend’s e-mails, but if I replied using Apple mail (hitting the reply button), my reply never got back to her.
    2 - Was able to send to and receive my friend’s e-mails using MS outlook from my place of work using a PC and my work e-mail account. No problems.
    3 - Was able to send and receive to my work account from my home account using Apple Mail, no problems.
    4 - Was able to send and receive my friend e-mails from my home account, using web mail rather than using Apple Mail.
    5 - Could no longer e-mail my wife using the Apple Mail (and she could not e-mail me), we both use the same ISP. However using web mail rather than Apple Mail we could still send and receive e-mails from each other.
    6 - Phoned my ISP, my account seems to be ok, which was also confirmed by using webmail as described in the previous two points.
    7 - Other than the regular Apple updates the Mail app is the same client I have been using since I got my new Mac last October. I didn’t appear to have any problems until about a month ago and have made no changes to settings etc.
    8 - When I do attempt to send e-mails to my wife or friend, I get the usual whooshing sound and a progress bar to show that the mail has been sent. The outbox is empty and the mail appears in the sent box, but never arrives to its destination. No error messages or e-mail bounce backs, nothing.
    9 - Downloaded and installed Thunderbird, all the problems seem to go away – I can now send and receive e-mails from both my wife and friend.
    It’s a bit weird that Apple Mail seems to have taken an aversion to sending mail to some particular e-mail addresses. Unless someone can explain what is going on here, I think that this is a serious problem. As I’ve mentioned, there is no hint that Apple Mail is not sending e-mail, as far as I was concerned e-mails were leaving my Mac. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there an easy fix?

    I just did a quick test in InDesign CC and my one worked. Maybe you should delete the button and redo it.
    By the way on a slightly different matter, do you know that to enable users to complete the form and store it on their computer using Acrobat Reader, you need to enable the form as follows:
    Open the form in Acrobat XI  and then:
    File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes for fill-in & save). . . Your users will be able to fill in the form and save it (assuming they have the later versions of Acrobat Reader).
    Make sure you keep a copy of your original PDF with a different file name as once you've created a Reader Enabled PDF Form you can't change it.
