Outgoing mail server appears blocked by mobile network

I have already contacted Roadrunner to find out why the host name in the Outgoing Mail Server--mobile-smtp.roadrunner.com will not work. They state that it should read mobile-server.roadrunner.com. When I typed that in, it reverted back to the original phrase, and they said to get in contact with the mobile network. There must be a block in it. We tried a different port, however, that did not work either. Has anyone had this problem? I am receiving emails from roadrunner without incident.

Try deleting the account and selecting manual set up. Also you can also try using an email app from the play store like k9 mail.

Outgoing Mail Server from Network Location

If there a way to set Mail's 'Outgoing Mail Server' based on the currently selected 'Network Location'?
In my case, my home ISP blocks port 25 so I need to pass mac.com mail through the ISP. Then, when at work, my home ISP won't accept SMTP from my work address so I end up using mail.mac.com directly. I'd like the switch to occur based on my changing of the 'Network Location'

Outlook 2007 - Outgoing mail server from a 3rd party

I tried to set up the outgoing mail server for my Outlook 2007 with a 3rd party mail server. e.g. mail.xxxx.com, and I could not send the e-mail at all. If I set up the outgoing mail server as outgoing.verizon.net, I can send the email to everyone else but not to this 3rd party mail server mail.xxxx.com. I received the undeliverable message from Verizon that the mail was rejected due to not being able to log on to this 3r party mail server. I am working for this company from home and it requires me to set up this for my outgoing mail server. Does anyone know how to fix this, including specifying what needs to be done at the 3rd party mail server to change to accept emails sent from outgoing.verizon.net? Thank you in advance. Andy

Port 25 is the standard for SMTP, although some now use a submission port, 587. I know port 25 off network is blocked for residential users, I don't know if 587 is blocked off network because I have never tried it. I suspect it is. Verizon is by no means the only ISP to do this.
Business accounts do not have blocked ports as far as I know, so if you have a business account, you are free to communicate using port 25 anywhere.
Verizon has recently gone to non-standard port assignments for SMTP and POP servers. see

SMTP Outgoing Mail Server does not use password so I can not send mail..

Hi All
Can anyone help me with this?
My POP email accounts on Hosting.365.ie do not use a password to authenticate outgoing mail. They rely on a prior authenticated download to enable the outgoing mail server.
On my MacBook Pro there is an option in the SMTP server settings under authentication for "none' and all my accounts work perfectly on the MacBook.
However my iPhone4 (brand new) and iPad (both up to date) there is no option under the SMTP server settings for "none". I think this is the root of the problem. Has anyone else come across this or is there a workaround?
Many thanks if anyone has any insights.
Peter

Yeah, I don't know why the difference. Interestingly for me, the iOS version in iOS4.2 is "better" than the OSX version of Mail because now I can have more than one Exchange account.
I am sympathetic with your need to separate your lives. I have a client that accidentally got one of my alternate email addresses and cannot/will not update his address book with the "correct" address, despite my requesting several times over the course of a year. In any case, I don't think there is any way around this other than completely changing your email address. (If not a second Gmail, then Yahoo, Hotmail or other email provider.)
The only time I've ever seen a "no password" SMTP server was as I previously said, it used a "network authentication" method. Many, many moons ago, SMTP servers often didn't have password authentication so would often be used for spam relaying. Before mobile users, "network authentication" by ISPs was fine since they could figure out which user was spamming since they could trace the IP addr, MAC addr, etc back through the physical link to the user. But with mobile users who change networks constantly, the general trend was to password authentication, even for wired ISPs since their users would want to have access to send mail while away from home. (e.g.: you're a RoadRunner customer, but want to send mail while using your laptop on vacation in Italy.) This "prior authenticated download" I've never heard of anyone else doing.

Mail: "outgoing mail server (smtp)" not being saved

In Mail settings I have a default "outgoing mail server (smtp)" selected, but when I go to send mail, it changes to 'gmail'
How can I get it to work the way it's supposed to.
It's worked correctly for ever, but exhibited this new behavior recently.

I think I have the same problem without Exchange involved. I have seven different email accounts and two of them are acting like you describe: changes like deleting doesn't reflect on other clients (like mobile phone email client and webmail).
This also happens with read emails showing up unread so that if the email is been read and deleted same message can appear as new and when that message is deleted I can see two separate items of that same email message.
Also all marks of reply, forward or flagged are gone when the email show up as new again.
My service provider said that updates to Mail.app have previously made some big changes to way how it acts with email servers and thought that Mail is misbehaving with my two email systems.
I am using IMAP protocol with all accounts.
Thanks for any info and help!

How do I fix my iPod touch's problem with hotmail outgoing mail server?

I have just received a new replacement iPod touch 8Gb.
On my old model I used the house wifi network to connect to HOTMAIL in the mail app it would set the account up immediately and work perfectly.
This time, when I tried to set the account up I had a long delay while it verified account details. Then after opting to set up account without using SSL an account was generated with an error message to say I may not be able to send or receive mail.
Incoming mail is OK, outgoing is not working.
The error message told me that I needed to configure my outgoing mail server.
My default outgoing server is set to smtp.live.com and works on port 587.
I have an additional server set to 'on', which is also smtp.live.com working on port 465, which was set up when I tried to alter the port number on the default server. Still no outgoing mail.
Any suggestions?

Followed your instructions and again, account verification failed using SSL.
I chose to create without SSL and got the following message:
'The SMTP server 'smtp.live.com' is not responding'. I accepted the details,
the email Inbox populated, and everything looks normal.
Same error is occuring:
'Connection to outgoing server 'smtp.live.com' failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings>mail,contacts and calendars'
The settings are as follows:
Incoming mail server
Host Name: pop3.live.com
username: is correct
password: is correct
Outgoing SMTP:
Primary server
host name: smtp.live.com
username: is correct
password: is correct (has been re-entered just in case)
Use SSL: OFF
Authentication: password
server port 587
I have duplicate SMTP servers listed under 'Other SMTP servers' with exactly the same details as above so it seems as if the iPod is retaining some settings even after I delete account.
Also, I wonder if there is anything I need to get the network administrator to do, because he did ask for the Wi-Fi address of my previous iPod touch could it just be a case of allowing it as a specific device on our network?

Outgoing mail server and WiFi Questions

DeepPurple23, thank you -- you solved my problem as well!
Can either of you tell me what's involved in choosing a Wi-Fi network? I'm trying to choose one, but don't know whether I'm DHCP, BootP or Static. DHCP is preselected, but then the only lines that allow me to fill in anything are DNS, Search Domains and Client ID. What should I put there? My IPS is earthlink, and I created a client id, but I'm not getting anywhere. Thanks for any help you can give.
Message was edited by: Host - branched to new thread for new issue

nakoma,
EarthLink should allow you to user their outgoing mail server smtpauth.earthlink.net on port 587 on WiFi or EDGE. Cwmx.com is a work around that only works on EDGE.
As for choosing a WiFi network. Do you have a wireless router such as an Airport Base Station?
If so, you would connect to it, and it connects to your internet connection. Many places offer free WiFi or WiFi that they charge for. This can include restaurants, coffee shops, libraries, and even some cities are experimenting with it. To join one of those networks go to Settings -> WiFi, turn WiFi on, and it will search for WiFi networks that are within range.
Click on the wireless network you want to join. If there is a "lock" next to it that indicates whoever setup that wireless router or base station, and is likely paying for it to connect to the internet set it up to use encryption and a password. You would have to ask them for permission to use their network and the password to use.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Smtp server is not responding check your outgoing mail server?

i have problems with my email server it keeps telling me to check my details on my outgoing mail server and network connection and i have already tried everything. please help.

The issue may not be the server your thinking of in some cases. If you have multiple emails set up, it could be one of the other emails smtp setting that are wrong so check those also.
When you send or receive mail it goes thru each account you have set up each time to send or receive. Any setting issues with any of these account can stop all mail in or out.

Changing Location and Outgoing mail server

When I change Location, I need to change the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) (my ISP blocks mail traffic). Is there a way to make the smtp server different for each Location you have defined? Right now, I have to manually switch the Mail.app preferences each time I connect to a new Location, or wait for Mail.app to try to send the mail at which point it puts up a failure dialog where I can change the outgoing server for that message.
thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

It would be nice to define an SMTP server for each account depending on the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and even better, the computer determining the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and automatically making the appropriate SMTP server change for each account but computers aren't quite there or that smart yet.
There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Change SMTP Server (Mail) which provides for switching between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
At least this script makes it a little easier.

Ipowerweb and outgoing mail server issues

getting my POP account on my iPhone to send mail successfully has proven to be difficult.
why is it that on my old Nokia E61 my incoming and outgoing mail server settings "mail.mydomain.net" worked regardless of whether i was on edge or wifi -- yet on my iPhone the only way i can send email is to turn wifi off, and input "cwmx.com" as my outgoing mail server and send sloooowly over edge?
i guess my question is, what is different about the way the iPhone connects to different servers, if my old phone did not have any issues with it at all - and how can i remedy this? shouldnt it be as simple as sycing the settings from my POP account on my G5? what am i missing here...and is this specific to ipowerweb hosting?
thanks

aegez,
As a point of clarification, if you are going to use Port 25 on EDGE you have to use cwmx.com. Many networks filter port 25 traffic because of port 25 traffic has been abused by people sending unsolicited bulk email (aka spam). AT&T's EDGE network is not the only network to filter port 25.
The iPhone in some situations will try other common ports, many of which will require authentication.
If you are using an outgoing mail server that requires authentication on a port besides port 25 it should work on both WiFi and EDGE in most situations. The exception would be on networks that filter traffic on all ports as a security major, such as some work environments.

Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
Thanks!

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

You're welcome.
If you're a .Mac member using Mac OS X version 10.2.1 or later, you can synchronize the contact information between the Address Book application on your computer and your .Mac Address Book on the web. You can also synchronize your contact information between multiple Mac OS computers.
If you're using a version of Mac OS X earlier than version 10.4, you must have iSync installed on your computer to synchronize the information. To download iSync, go to
www.apple.com/support/downloads/isync.html
You can't synchronize the information in your .Mac Address Book if you have an email-only account.
To sync your .Mac Address Book:
Do one of the following:
If you're using a version of Mac OS X earlier than version 10.4, open iSync and click the .Mac button. Register your .Mac account, turn on .Mac synchronization, and then click the Sync Now button.
(Note: If you are syncing contact information between multiple Mac OS computers, use iSync to register all the computers you want to keep synchronized. For more information, choose Help > iSync Help when iSync is open.)
After the sync has completed, go to www.mac.com and click Address Book on the .Mac tab.
Click Preferences, and then select the "Turn on .Mac Address Book
Synchronization" checkbox.
Click Save.
With Address Book synchronization turned on, the contact information in your .Mac Address Book on the web and the Address Book application on your computer will be updated with any changes each time you sync.
You can turn off synchronization between the Address Book application on your computer and your .Mac Address Book on the web by deselecting the "Turn on .Mac Address Book Synchronization" checkbox. While this checkbox is deselected, changes you make to either address book are saved until the next time you select this checkbox and click the Sync Now button on the .Mac pane or in iSync. (For example, if you delete an address from your .Mac Address Book with this checkbox deselected, this address will be deleted from the Address Book on your computer's hard disk the next time you sync with synchronization turned on.)
If your kid has his/her own computer login account, one way to transfer selected contacts from your Address Book to your kid's address book is to create a folder on the Desktop named Contacts or whatever you prefer. Launch Address Book and one at a time, select a contact's name to highlight it and then single click and drag the contact to the created Contacts folder on the Desktop. This will create a vCard copy of the contact.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Shared. Place the Contacts folder on the Desktop in the Shared folder.
When your kid logs in to his/her account, the Contacts folder will be available in his/her Shared folder at Home > Shared.
Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards. Navigate to/within the Contacts folder in the Shared folder and the vCards in the Contacts folder will be imported to your kid's Address Book.

Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP)

Does anyone know what the host name for the outgoing mail server is suppose to be, right now I have it listed as smtp1.attglobal.net, but it's saying cannot send out mail the connection to the outgoing server smtp1.attglobal.net failed. Can anyone give me the correct outgoing server.
Jeff

Try this first:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/mailhelper/
The Outgoing mail server depends on who your email provider is. You can usually get information on the provider's web site for settings, or check the settings on your computer; they will generally be the same. HOWEVER, if your ISP is your email provider they may not allow use of their outgoing mail server unless you are connected to their network. In this case you would be able to send mail connected to your home wireless network, but no from other wireless networks or using EDGE on the phone.
If this is your situation you have several options:
1. For EDGE use only, use cwmx.com as the outgoing mail server, no user id or password. This will not work when connected via a WiFi network.
2. Create a gmail account and use their server; this requires user id and password.
3. Us a paid SMTP site (e.g., godaddy.com)

Changing default outgoing mail server

I have been on online chat with my ISP trying to set up my email account. I want to use "Mail" v 1.3.11. I have sent a test email to my self. I have no problem.

When i click the outgoing mail server it is different than what is listed in account settings under preferences.

Outgoing Mail server Problems

I have added my AOL accounts to my Mail app and it was working just fun, but all of a sudden when I tried to send mail from those addresses, this thing comes up:
<<Cannot send from this server.
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.>>
What's going on? Now it just puts everything in the outbox until I get it sorted. Thanks!

Do you have attachments on any of the mail you are sending?
The mail message might be too big or the server is busy with sending other messages or receiving mail- this could be why you are getting the “try a different outgoing mail server”
I get this message on and off for no reason-
