Outgoing mail issue with my domain

All right I'll lay it all out in as much detail as I can...thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
OS: Tiger 10.4.7 (latest security updates)
Mail ver: 2.1
I have three e-mail accounts: gmail, dot mac and my own domain.
As of right now, I can send outgoing mail through my gmail and dot mac accounts. My domain mail is dead when trying to send through Mac Mail.
Gmail settings:
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
SSL: On
Auth: Password
Username: (myaddress)@gmail.com
Password: (mypass)
Dot Mac settings:
SMTP: smtp.mac.com
Port: 25
SSL: On
Auth: Password
Username: (my username)
Password: (mypass)
Domain settings:
SMTP: mail.(mydomainname).com
Port: Tried 25, 587, 110
SSL: tried both on and off
Auth: tried none and password
Username: Tried just my username and tried full with @(domainname).com
Password: tried Webmail pass and control panel pass
Again, I have no problems sending with the other two accounts. But I get "could not send message using server mail.(domainname).com" error message. This after the spinning wheel for about 30 seconds.
Now, both the incoming and outgoing server are mail.(domainname).com. I can receive messages through the account just fine. And I can send mail through my Webmail setup at my domain name, too.
I contacted my host (iPowerweb) and they set up a test account and said they are not seeing smtp issues, either.
I recently switched hosts and I was having the same issue with the previous host, too. In fact, I used to be able to send e-mail through my previous host with the same domain, but it just quit working one day.
I do not believe it is a port issue as I am able to send on both 25 and 587.
Previously I just accepted that I wouldn't be able to use Mac Mail to send through my domain. But I am unwilling to accept that fact anymore...
Any ideas folks?
Again, thanks...

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Typically, Port 587 would require at least Password Authentication -- using None as Authentication would not be expected to succeed. If None is the correct setting, then Port 25 would be the necessary Port.
The fact that accounts in the same domain work, is not definitive, in my opinion, since it might be permitted without Authentication, whereas other sending activities might not.
Without regard to blocking, sending with a third party SMTP involves establishing "trust", and trust is either established by Authentication, or by being identified by the venue where your ISP can ensure you are trustworthy, and this typically must require the use of Port 25.
The change might be that as a Spam fighting measure, your ISP has only just now required authentication on Port 587, although I think this has already been nearly universal.

  • Outgoing Mail issues with snow leopard

    I know this has come up before, but randomly Mail cannot send outgoing email. Fails to connect to outgoing sever. I'm at 10.6.6, and don't want to update because of font/pdf issues with 10.6.7. I have mac pro 2.8 quad. A friend who has updated to 10.6.7 has same problem with Mail. Last computer using Tiger was perfect. I've tried all fixes, and issue still occurs randomly. Can't apple patch this without a major update? Does apple read discussions and act on them?

  • Outgoing mail issues with Mail 3.5 and Mobile Me

    I have had a lot of problem lately with not being able to connect to the outgoing server on my Mobile Me account. I have tried the connection doctor which shows everything is ok but when I try and send it says it was unable to connect and to try again later or to choose another server from the list.
    This doesn't happen all the time but it is pretty frequent. I have the ports set to the default ports (25, 465, 587). Does anyone have any suggestions that might make sending email more reliable?

    I wanted to follow up with my solution. After much troubleshooting I determined that packaging from the command line requires a different syntax after AIR 3.5. 
    I was using this (note the direct call to the ADT binary)
    "/SDK/AdobeAIRSDK35/bin/adt" -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -provisioning-profile "./WORK/Apple/test_app.mobileprovision" -storepass my_secret_pass -storetype pkcs12 -keystore "./mycert.p12" ./test_app.ipa ./test-app.xml platformsdk"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platfo rm/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk"
    I found that this approach results in a fast running AIR app (note the alternative approach calling Java)
    /usr/bin/java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar "/SDK/FlexSDK4_6_With_Air3_6/lib/adt.jar" -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -provisioning-profile "./WORK/Apple/test_app.mobileprovision" -storepass my_secret_pass -storetype pkcs12 -keystore "./mycert.p12" ./test_app.ipa ./test-app.xml platformsdk"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platfo rm/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk"
    I wish I could explain why this worked ... but it does.

  • Dns issues with one domain (Resolved)

    i'm currently having dns issues with one domain, in that it won't resolve when I use bt's dns servers.
    The domain is owned by a friend in the US who runs his own server for irc, web, and I also have a server that is on his connection, and resolves fine from other machines on different networks, and also resolves fine when I set windows to use the opendns servers, but when it's set to either my routers ip (using bt's dns), or set to automatic (using bt's dns via the homehub), this one domain will not resolve.
    I'm pretty certain it's not a windows issue, as it's a clean install of windows 7 that I did yesterday. I've tried rebooting the homehub, and also flushing my dns on windows, but this has not solved the issue.
    As I say, it resolves fine on other networks, and also when I use the opendns servers, so I know it's definately a dns issue.
    Using bt's dns servers:
    C:\Users\admin>ping chatnsn.com
    Ping request could not find host chatnsn.com. Please check the name and try agai
    n.
    Using opendns:
    C:\Users\admin>ping chatnsn.com
    Pinging chatnsn.com [68.51.24.74] with 32 bytes of data:
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Ping statistics for 68.51.24.74:
        Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
    (The timeouts are normal...he has his router set to not respond to ping requests).
    Has anyone got any ideas on how to sort this out? Preferably without having to phone the helpdesk...lets just say i've done it in the past, and according to the poeple I spoke to in india, I knew nothing about my own systems, and it was a problem at my end...which was not the case, and I proved this several times.
    Edit: This issue appears to have resolved itself, and the domain is now resolving again using the homehub for dns resolution.

    Hi,
    When NSLOOKUP starts, before anything else, it checks the computer's network configuration to determine the IP address of the DNS server that the computer uses.
    Then it does a reverse DNS lookup on that IP address to determine the name of the DNS server.
    If reverse DNS for that IP address is not setup correctly, then NSLOOKUP cannot determine the name associated with the IP address.

  • 10.5.3 Outgoing Mail Issue

    Greetings,
    I recently updated to 10.5.3. Right after this was done I began experiencing issues with sending and receiving email. The error returned is as follows:
    Cannot send message using the server X.
    Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
    It's a POP account. I didn't change the name of the incoming mail server but I did change the name of the outgoing mail server by adding mail. to the front. I'm using Port 993 with SSL, with an Authenticated POP (ADOP) Authentication. I'm not as computer savvy as I'd like to be, so I'm sure I'm leaving out some details. Any and all assistance is much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    You changed the outgoing server settings, or SMTP server settings based on what? In an attempt to fix the sending problem on your own, or based on an SMTP server settings change by the email account provider for this account?

  • UTORmail Outgoing Mail Issues

    I have been having an issue where outgoing mail does not send.  Each time I try to send mail, I recieve the error message, "Email Application Alert: Error sending "..." ".  I contacted the utoronto tech staff and they are also confused as to why the setup is not working correctly.  As there is no specific Palm Pre setup on their website I went by the Iphone settings, which should work correctly:
    Setting up your UTORmail account
    Tap Settings on the home screen:
    Scroll down and tap Mail:
    Tap Add Account:
    Select Other (last option):
    Tap IMAP:
    Fill out the information fields as follows:
         * Address: Your @utoronto.ca email address
    Incoming Mail Server
    Host Name: mailboxN.utcc.utoronto.ca (where N is replaced with your UTORmail configuration number)
    User Name: your UTORid
    Password: Your Password
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    Host Name: smtp.utoronto.ca
    User Name: Your UTORid
       1. Scroll down and tap Advanced.
       2. The following screen will appear
    Incoming Settings
    Use SSL: ON.
    Authentication: Password.
    Server Port 993
    Outgoing Settings
    Use SSL: ON.
    Authentication: Password.
    Server Port 587
    Any information on how to fix this would be appreciated.

    Normally, if you send out using SSL, you use port 465, and if you send out without SSL, you use port 587. Can you try port 465?
    == Edit ==
    I found the University's instructions for various mail clients. The pattern seems to be SSL ==> 465, TLS ==> 587. If the Pre supports TLS, try switching the encryption method from SSL to TLS and using port 587. Any luck?

  • Mail issues with Apple's Mail

    I was using Outlook Express to send & receive mail.  And then (because Outlook Express has been giving me fits with errors and needing to put my password in every time I wanted to use it)  I switched to Mail (the one that came on my Mac).
    And now, with Mail, something crazy is happening on my iPhone and iPad.  It showed that it was downloading and downloading and downloading, but I don’t know what it was downloading.  Archived stuff?  Everything that is in everything in every folder on my Mac?
    Then it stopped downloading stuff, and now it won’t send, I get an error saying that it Cannot Send Mail.
    I tried to delete my email account from settings so that I could start over, but the gear just spun and spun for over 30 minutes.
    I have no idea what is going on, but I think that it must be connected to the fact that I switched from Outlook Express to Mail.
    Please, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

  • DNS issues with replaced domain controllers

    I have slight issue I hope some one can help with.
    We recently replaced some domain controllers in our 2 core sites the process we followed is as below:-
    moved FSMO roles to different already working servers
    demoted the old domain controllers and decommissioned.
    built virtual machine replacements with the same names.
    depromo'd the servers
    ran all the tests and it reported everything was fine.
    moved the fsmo roles to the new servers.
    repeated this for the remaining servers.
    this was our 2003 domain to free up physical space but our new 2013 domain what will exist separately until all our applications our tested.
    however the problem we now have is that non domain controllers have issues registering against the new servers despite being able to do look-ups against them all (replication testing looks fine). one of our regional DC's seems to have taken over as the primary
    replica. as changes made else where disappeared but changes made there got replicated out perfectly.
    I have managed to resolve this particular issue by added the domain controllers back into several locations in DNS manually (maining forward lookup zones>my domain>_tcp )but we still experience the odd issue with servers not registering in DNS properly
    (although it's a lot better since the I did the above)
    so basically does any one have a idea on what could have caused this issue and how I can resolve?

    should the demotion not automatically remove it from sites and services automatically (it could well be this if not) the question then becomes how do we resolve the issues we have now.
    Hello,
    NO, as you can demote a DC and it still may run site-aware services like DFS and for this reason a DC is NOT automatically removed from AD sites and services during demotionprocess.

  • HELP: Mail issues with Leopard

    I have been having an issue with Mail since I upgraded to Leopard. I am getting the following message when I wake my Mac from sleep:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again. The server error encountered was: The server “mail.mac.com” cannot be contacted on port 143.
    Does anyone know why this might be happening? Mail seems to work fine otherwise...

    I had update problems with my PowerBook G4 as well. In my case the update stalled at Writing Package Receipt-it was installing 4 packages so I am not sure which one failed-but about this Mac showed 10.5.2 version-however the receipts were not anywhere -either in Software Updates/Installed Updates or in Library/Receipts/boms or in Console Logs-therefore, I concluded that the Update was only partial. I was unable to update it to completion using the independently downloaded Combo updates. So........., I restarted with the install DVD and did an Archive and Install (it reverted back to 10.5), then ran Software Update. It installed 7 items some of them relating to iTunes, iWork, iLife, QuickTime etc, including the combo 10.5.2 updater. It took an hour or two but everything finally installed. After that I ran Software Update again and it installed the Graphic Update. Now everything is fine except Permissions Verify/Repair takes quite long.

  • Outgoing Mail Problem with Verizon DSL

    I live in Hampton Roads, VA area and have Verizon's DSL with wireless gateway equipment on Dell Computer. My iMAC connects wirelessly to the gateway and connects to Internet fine and receives email fine on the Verizon POP account. I have verified settings and read most of the topics on the post and am very frustrated. There does not seem to be a definative answer on whether outgoing mail should work with Verizon DSL. Any new insights on this topic or something to look at? Dell is set to use Port 25 and sends fine so I know this is the port to use.

    What does “is not working” mean? What’s the problem exactly?
    If you cannot send with the outgoing (SMTP) server provided by your ISP, the problem could be that you’re telling Mail to authenticate, but the outgoing server doesn’t actually require authentication because it can determine who you are by other means.

  • Weird outgoing mail issues after snow leopard upgrade

    After upgrading to snow leopard a couple of weeks ago (then immediately to 10.6.5), I have been having trouble sending mail from my work machine on one account. After reading these forums and trying several solutions (listed below), the thing which seemed to work for me was deleting the outgoing mail server entry in the preferences pane and re-entering the information. However, this solution does not always work for me, and is only temporary; after some amount of time (variable? on the order of minutes?) the problem recurs.
    If I open connection doctor the server in question displays a "Connecting to server..." message for a long time (minutes) and then "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you...". I get this behavior even just after resetting the smtp server, while I am successfully sending test emails.
    As with others here, the same account works fine on other machines.
    Things I have tried, on my own or based on advice read in the forums:
    1) specifying the port for the server in advanced settings
    2) Deleting and re-adding both the smtp server and the imap account
    3) Setting mobileme to manual sync
    4) "cd /var/log;touch mail.log;sudo chown root:admin mail.log; sudo chgrp 644 mail.log" (which doesn't produce any logs for me).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I for got to add
    5) repair permissions in disk utility
    6) reboot

  • Issues with new Maverick Mail, issues with new Maverick Mail

    Everytime I use Mail a window opens asking me my password for my Icloud account.
    This started after I installed the new OS X Mavericks.

    Hi there,
    We have similar problems plus many more. We have spoken to repair company's who will not take the job on now as they know they cannot fix any issues with Mac updates.
    The lattest fix has not fixed my mail issues since the last update either!
    Its a shambles and all my settings are correct, we have checked them three times but nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone who of a reliable mail program for mac?  Im having to use my PC mail program now as Mac are so slow to repair there mistakes. Its costing our company thousands in downtime with the disruptive updates. Our Iphones dont work properly since thier last update either. One would have to ask whats going on with Mac? No preplys from there so called helplines.
    WHATS MAC GOING TO DO ABOUT IT???

  • HT201320 Outgoing Mail Issue

    My iPhone 5s kept shutting off on its own so the Apple Store gave me a new one.  I cannot send outgoing mail because I have no idea what my original password is.  The outging server is smtp.mail.yahoo.com.  How can I resolve this issue so I can send outgoing mail?  Thanks,  KD

    The only way you can send mail on the iPhone is by having your password. If you need to change your password you need to do that through yahoo.
