Outgoing Mail Rejected
I have only had my MacPro for about a month and I set up my cox account through Mail. Everything worked and was great and than all of a sudden yesterday it stopped sending outgoing mail by stating:
The sender address xxxxx@xxx was rejected by the server smtp.west.cox.net.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
I haven't changed anything and can't figure out what is going on.
I have the same problem...I am Cox East and the problem lies with Cox. I use Microsoft Entourage on my early 09 Macbook Pro and it doesn't allow me to use the specific SMTP authentication required, but if you use Mail, it should work fine. The problem has to do with Cox not allowing you to send email from a non-Cox ip address. The link gives you the settings to set up SMTP authentication. If I am on a non-Cox network, I just use webmail. Hope this helps.

HT204187 outgoing mail rejects password on one computer but not the other
The mail program says the outgoing mail password is incorrect on wife's desktop computer, but mail works from her iPad.
I, too, have the same problems as listed above. I have changed my password in my mail account several times. Each time my iPhone and iPad accept the new password and is able to send/receive mail. My macbookPro rejects it each time. I have tried deleting it from keychain...still did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions?

Why is outgoing mail rejected by the Exchange server?
Hi all.
One in every 10 emails sent via Mavericks Mail is being rejected by my Exchange server. It's more like one in two emails with attachments. Shutting down Mail and re-opening doesn't help. Eventually I get the rejection window and list of servers: when I click the one I'm already trying to use, it sends! I'm presuming this is a bug, or something's changed in the way Mavericks Mail deals with Exchange because nothing else has been altered.
Yours,

Outgoing Mail rejected by Server?
I am having issues with sending out E-Mails and I am receiving a message - (A copy has been placed in your Outbox.The sender address -------------- was rejected by the server.)
Hi there! - Please note that this issue has been resolved. Thanks anyway!
I had the SSL "On" by mistake somehow?
Cheers! Steve Lee.Who is your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet?
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and if so, are you able to send messages with this account?
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
What are your settings for the .Mac SMTP server including the SMTP server address? -
Outgoing mail rejected as spam?
I attempted to send a message this morning and it was rejected with the following:
Diagnostic-code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Message rejected as spam by Content Filtering.
I figured there was some sort of mistake somewhere so I tried resending the message. Same result. How come iCloud is rejecting my outgoing messages as spam?Great, more help desk idiots! There are no Thunderbird servers. Thunderbird is software that runs on YOUR computer and connects to your email providers server. The message would be from THEIR server.

Outgoing server rejects password; can't send mail
Today, for no apparent reason, I can't send out any mail. No hardware, no software changes. (I'm use Mail 2.0.7 with my iMac G5.)
When I try to send mail I get this message: "The SMTP server “outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net” rejected the password for user “carolbenham”
My provider — Verizon DSL — took me through their process and the password I'm entering is correct and works for both signing in, sending and receiving e-mail on my their web page e-mail. It ONLY doesn't work with Mac's Mail program. Only Mac's Mail program says the correct password is rejected.
Idea anybody? I'm desperate!Thanks Simon. I'm keeping that fix in mind for next time. For no reason whatsoever, Mail.app stopped asking me for a password (and then rejecting it) after the computer had been unused and asleep for a couple of hours. It sent all the outgoing mail automatically as soon as I launched the program.
Too strange! -

My outgoing mail gets rejected. I can get mail but not send it.It was working for about 6 months.
If the smtp is rejecting your password you should go in.
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your Yahoo account in the sidebar on the left.
In account information tab you will see : " Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) "
Click on it and choose edit SMTP server list.
Select Yahoo and click on the advanced tab.
Now fill your new Yahoo password.
Hope it's help. -

Outgoing mail server rejected password - using microsoft exchange email
hi everybody,
so i have a microsoft exchange outlook email account from my school. i recently have started having troubles with apple mail sending messages. it rejects the password of my email account. i have gone to outlook.com several times and changed the passwords but to no avail. i know it used to work. i went on a trip to guatemala and came back and now it seems to hate me. i cant remember if the problem arose after my switch to snow leopard either..
i went to the help section on the outlook page after i log in but after i change to those settings its still rejects my outgoing mail password.
is there a bug with snow leopard? oh good as i am writing this mail just 'quit unexpectedly'..aww the joys of just having microsoft email- imagine a whole operating system based on such inadequacies (i must vent.. this is extremely annoying that i have to reply back to people with my gmail account)..
thanks in advance!It is likely the Port setting for the SMTP has either gotten changed while you were away, or your provider has changed what settings are needed. Check the settings carefully. If you know exactly what Port should be used, change to Use Custom Port, enter the Port manually, and proceed to test again.

Outgoing mail server rejects mail
Hello,
My ISP's SMTP server started rejecting the outgoing mail I am trying to send through it. I called them, but they checked the settings with me (which as far as I know had not changed). They said they were OK and that I should call Apple.
Does anyone know what would cause this I restarted the computer and the modem/network completely. It still does it. I have a pc on the same network which is able to send mail through the same SMPT server, so it does seem like something on this mac maybe. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Server rejects outgoing mail from PC's but will send mail from Macs
I am having a strange problem with outgoing mail all my mail clients are pointed to the server as smtp server. All mail from Macs are delivered without any problems but mail from PC's are universally rejected and I can't understand why. I did not have this problem with 10.4.11 and we do not authenticate. Here is the reject message:-
+Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.+
+Subject: hello 16:34+
+Sent: 26/08/2010 16:34+
+The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:+
+'user@cp-lighting..*' on 26/08/2010 16:34+
+504 5.5.2 <PHILSPC>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname+This should help:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/145/84/
Will work without authentication as long as your network range has been entered into the postfix settings.
That said, you should require all your clients to authenticate to send through your server.
HTH,

Question: Why am I getting a message " recipient rejected by server" when trying to send email om my IPad 1 when outgoing mail settings that worked have not been change?
Hopefully SOLVED - I had same problem on my iphone. Maybe these couple hidden settings are not quite same on your Ipad?
On the iphone i went Settings>Mail, contacts calanders>choose relevant account (if you have more than 1)> accountname>accountname> scroll down to 'Outgoing Mail server' and click on SMTP >click on your Primary Server >
My Username and Password were showing 'Optional'. Filled them in with the correct details (email account login) and that fixed problem. -
Mail 4.5 SMTP Server Rejecting Password for Outgoing Mail
I just set up Mail 4.5 and am receiving incoming mails but can't send out my emails. I get a message saying the SMTP server rejected the password. I know it's the correct password, have entered it a few times now. I'd appreciate any advice. thnx
Hi Jan ...
From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Select the account on the left.
Make sure the SMTP server is selected where you see: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Quit then relaunch Mail to test.
If the correct server is already selected, open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Use the search field top right corner of the window to find the email account. Then right or control click the keychain then click Delete.
Go back to the Account Information tab in Mail > Preferences. Type in the correct password. You should be prompted to save that password to a new keychain. Click Yes.
