Non-Sending eMails "Mail Delivery Subsystem"

Hello, I'm very confused and I'd really like an explanation as to why this issue is happening.
What's happening is that when I send emails to AOL.com, Yahoo.com, Verizon.net, or others, I get an email almost immediately that states that the email couldn't send. I use .Mac and I'm not sure if that's why this happens, but I'd really like some help, so could anyone out there answer my question?
Thanks so much, guys!
I hope to hear from someone.

Apple Mail and Google Apps (personal domain) - 554 554 Denied Mail Delivery Subsystem (Intermittent Failure)

Hello,
I am having problems with my Apple Mail and Google Apps and I don't know what to do. I have been using apple mail with google apps for a few months now with no complications. In the last week I have recieved a handful of messages from the Mail Delivery Subsystem citing error "554 554 Denied". I know that the emails I have tried to send to are real emails and are entered correctly. I tried to send directly from google apps to one of these people today and it worked so I assume the problem is with Apple Mail, or is intermittent. Adding to my frustration is that it works with some people and not with others so it's hard for me to see exactly what is causing the problem.
Any ideas?
I'll include a copy of one of the Mail Delivery Subsystem emails I recieved - excluding the email address and message body.
Thanks for your help!

Mail Delivery Subsystem Failure using gmail on iphone

I have been unable to send email on my gmail account. The email gets returned with a "Mail Delivery Subsystem" error.
I have read the various posts and my failed with the update too. I was unable to find the fix.
Any help would be great.

I would recommend deleting the GMail account on the iPhone, resetting it, and recreating it using Settings / Mail / Add New Account / Other, and use
pop.gmail.com as incoming server
smtp.gmail.com as outgoing server
See if after you save that account you can use it, without making any other changes to Advanced Settings. Also, make sure you test this connecting through EDGE to make sure it works. You can test WiFi later.

Issue with script timeouts - trying to send email mail shots - hosting recommendations?

Background is this - I look after a site for a recruitment agency, which has a backend mySQL database.
It includes a table of potential candidates, which the site owner can search based on various criteria and then send all the returned candidates an email about potential jobs they might be interested in.
I'm using an off the shelf script to send the emails, and have jumped through a few hoops to get this to work, but it looks like we need to move hosting unfortunately.
The script is able to limit emails so that the hosting company doesn't get black flagged as a spammer.
I've set it up with a progress bar in a new window so the site owner can see progress, but easily get back to the rest of the site.
But where we have come unstuck is the script timeout on the server - so even though its set to send emails slowly enough, ie under 500 emails an hour, because of that slow pace, it fails if it takes more then five minutes to send them all as the script times out.
My understanding is that the script includes a line to reset the script timeout value to 0, so enabling the script to keep running until all the emails have been sent. But unfortunately our current hosting company does not allow the script timeout to be reset at the PHP level.
So my question is this - is anyone doing anything similar, and if so, can you recommend any hosting company that does allow the script timeout to be reset at the PHP level?
Because at the minute it seems like a frustrating catch-22 - slow it down to get around the spam issue, and it won't run long enough to send all the emails. Speed it up, and it falls foul of the script timeout.
Any advise on this, or hosting suggestons most welcome!
Thanks.

Although there is an AppleScript Forum, Automator can run AppleScripts, so sometimes things can go in either forum. In your script, other than not setting a recipient, you are just getting one of the persons. You need to get a list of your contact information, then build your outgoing messages from that list - for example:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
set theEmails to {} -- this will be a list of email addresses
set theNames to {} -- this will be a list of names for the greeting
tell application "Address Book"
activate
set theGroup to (choose from list (get the name of every group) with prompt "Choose a Group") as text
if theGroup is "false" then return -- cancel
repeat with aPerson in (get every person of group theGroup) -- build email and name lists
set the end of theEmails to the first item of (get the value of the email of aPerson) -- just the first address
set the end of theNames to the first name of aPerson
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Mail"
repeat with anItem from 1 to (count theEmails) -- make a new message for each entry
tell (make new outgoing message at the front of outgoing messages with properties {subject:"Test Mail"})
set visible to true
get item anItem of theNames
if the result is missing value then -- no name
set the content to "message"
else
set the content to "Dear " & the result & "," & return & return & "message"
end if
make new to recipient at the end of to recipients with properties {address:(item anItem of theEmails)}
end tell
end repeat
activate
end tell
</pre>

This indicates the email alias you are sending the message to has some sort of redirection or other loop problem which makes it bounce. Contact the systems / email admin / support at mailpod.hostingplatform.com to troubleshoot it.
There is also a bug in Thunderbird 31.1, this may be related.
It's [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in similar support requests to yours, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
* Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)

Mail Delivery Subsystem sends multiple copies of returned mail

Since installing Leopard, I've sent several messages (usually with attachments) that are undeliverable to the recipient. Problem is, I get dozens of copies of the same "Returned mail: see transcript for details" message, last time about 80, each with multiple MB attachments, and the net effect is to slow Mail down quite a bit. Very annoying. This has only happened to one specific recipient who is with sbcglobal.net, but I'm not sure if its their problem, or mine.
Any thoughts? Obviously, I've stopped sending messages to that particular address, but it may occur again.

@ Tokyodj
Thanks very much for posting this. I was having slightly different issues than the people above - only one of my two POP accounts was being constantly picked up, and I had hundreds of versions of each email... strangely, even after I went to the (Yahoo) account and deleted all the emails out of there. Your solution worked perfectly.
Thanks again!

Sending email error "Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed" Why all of a sudden???

I have been communicating just fine with a collegue of mine for a few weeks. no issues. Within the last week when I attempt to send him an email I recive the following error message:
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Recipient address: {edited for privacy}
Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred
Diagnostic code: smtp;554 Message not allowed - [320]
Remote system: dns;e.mx.mail.yahoo.com (TCP|206.46.173.17|45952|67.195.168.230|25) (mta1034.mail.ac4.yahoo.com ESMTP YSmtp service ready)
He again sent me an email last night and I received his but when I replied this morning I got the above error message again.
Can anyone help as to why this would happen all of a sudden like this? I am not receiving any other errors at all for any of my other email communications.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I Google'd the error message and found this interesting thread:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1452845
The error mentioned is caused by the sending computer clock being off.. I see you are getting the error from a Yahoo server, which matches the discussion in the thread. The thread is in relation to using thunderbird as the email client, but I suspect that does not matter. So maybe check the date/time set in your computer and see if it is off?
Other than that, I have no idea...sorry.

Nokia Messaging - cannot send emails...

Hi,
I have recently got an E71 on the 3 network.
a week or so ago i installed nokia messaging (email.nokia.com) to use with my @ntlworld.com email address.
I believe i was receiving and sending messages ok at this point.
the other day i tried to send an email and almost immediately received a message to say it had failed to send
from : Mail Delivery Subsystem, subjectelivery Status Notification (Failure)
etc etc.
And I get this each time (and obviously the email doesn't send)
I have tried uninstalling from phone, deleting the email address from my account on email.nokia.com, then re-seting up agin, but still have the same problem.
Any ideas?
Is it a problem with my phone/the network/ntlworld/nokia messaging?
Look forward to you replies!
Many Thanks

Hello I had the same problem a few months ago the way I solved this issue was.
1. Go to Http://email.nokia.com 2. login and click "edit setting" 3. next to the affected account(s) click "change server settings" 4. remove/delete the "outgoing email server" AND "outgoing server port"
5. click "Save" ( X ) out and try to send a email.
This should fix the problem it sure did for me
After posting I checked link I didn't like where it sent me try this one---> https://email.nokia.com/account/loginUI.action

Mail delivery issues

i primarily use this forum to seek assistance from members who are more adept at solutions and advice about problems i occasionally encounter with my lenovo x201.[cto3249].
but in the last few weeks, i haven't received emails to and from community members. instead, my inbox is plastered with "Mail Delivery Subsystem" messages from "[email protected]" and a message that reads: "Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:
"[email protected]"
then, two or three days later, the actual message appears.
i would appreciate advice about why this may be happening, and if there's anything i can do to prevent it.
thanks so much

I think the stock email client has a software bug. I have two Inc 2s in my house and both of them froze when opening the native email app. Then both phones had a terrible lag afterward. I read on a couple of tech forums that there's a bug that HTC needs to fix.
The solution for us was to delete our accounts from that email app, and use K-9 Mail instead. So far it's working flawlessly.

Mail delivery sibsystem

For 2 days I have only recieved 1- 3pieces of mail then one that says Mail ,delivery subsystem, Warning mail box is at or near capictiy.....
then it says who is trying to send me something and apparently can't.....
then, if mail reader is set to ignore messages over a certain size or leave messages on server then changing that setting might in order....
What does this mean and how can it be that my mail box is at or near capcity when there are only 7- 9 pieces in it at a time? This never happened on my old iMac and some time when I would come back from vacation there would be 300 letters waiting for me and still no message like this.
If I have to make changes, please walk me through them.

For what type of account - .Mac, IMAP or POP?
If a POP type account, it doesn't matter how many messages are contained in the account's Inbox mailbox in the Mail.app. It depends on if you have "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message:" selected under the Advanced tab for the account preferences and the selection below and the server storage space limit for the account.
Depending on your server storage space limit, it is possible to have 300 text only messages on the server at one time but only one or two messages with a large attachment or attachments at one time that will cause the server storage space limit to be reached or exceeded.
One of my POP type accounts has only 10MB of server storage space. If the incoming mail server has received one message with an 8MB attachment and another with a 2MB attachment, my server storage space limit has been reached for the account and I will receive a warning message indicating I need to remove messages from the server or additional messages received will be rejected.

Mail delivery error when trying to send document to hpeprint. I know the email address is correct

I just got the HP8600. I set up eprint according to the instructions. When I email a document to the printer, I get a Mail Delivery error:
This message was created automatically by the mail system (ecelerity).
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
>>> [email protected] (reading confirmation): 550 5.7.1 Command
>>> rejected
I know the email address is correct. I don't know what to do to get this to work.

The Q.com provider seems to have issues sending to our servers for some reason. Other email providers will work fine like you've found with your gmail account. The best workaround at this time is to send from your gmail account if possible.

I'm receiving a number of emails that say " mail delivery system", and they are not in my sent items. So I've tried to do the virus scan and nothing is coming up. Now the "real" emails I need to send to clients are not going through because I've used up all my space and or number of emails for one day. Please help!
