Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server

Trying to test/setup send email at EMDBControl to my email [email protected], wondering what i should put in
outgoing Mail (SMTP) server box?
after setting up notification when i press test button, getting erro, [email protected] : Failed to connect to gateway:smtp.gmail.com sending failed

As far as I'm aware, GMail isn't running a public SMTP server. Assuming you're running this on your home machine, does your ISP have a SMTP server you could use?

Testing Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server does not work

I want to set up the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) servers using the Notification Methods page. After filling-in the fields with the correct name of the server and a correct email address, when I click on Test button, it returns the following error:
 
smtp.futuretrends.com: Test failed with message: "Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 554 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied 
 
By the way, the outgoig email server is using port number 25
 
How can I resolve the issue?

Please put more light about your environment
oms version,platform etc

An error occured while sending mail: SMTP server error. The server responded: (null)

I'm getting this set of error messages intermittantly:

An error occured while sending mail: smtp server error
the server responded: (null) contact email admin
for assistance

This problem may occur at low-use times when Messaging is installed with the
Trend virus protection software on the same system.

Change the version of the Trend software from 3.0 to the older 2.62 version.

It's possible that your provider has made a change.
I think STARTTLS usually is used with port 587, instead of the standard SSL port 465.
Could you look up your provider's current SMTP settings to see whether your "Outgoing Server" settings need to be updated? If it's difficult to translate between your provider's help page and Thunderbird's dialog controls, you could provide a link to your provider's help page.

Mail SMTP server problem

My iCloud does not work in Mail in all my apple devices (mobile, Ipad, Mac etc.). It seems that my Apple Mail soft seems to disable my smtp server for outgoing mails (iCloud server, offline). However, I can still receive all incoming mails ...

Have you unchecked the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane and then checked it again? If not, please do that now and test.
I've tried what you said, but nothing changes.
I've tried also to sign out completely from iCloud and then sign in. It should rebuild the credentials stored in the Mac, but nothing works.
I post the screen that appears after it fails to send the message.
But on the other hand it works on the iPhone!!! I've unchecked and checked the mail box in the settings and now it works properly!
The problem still persist on the Mac. In other words this is not linked to the iCloud preferences, but on the Mac itself.

IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months. I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

Mac OS X Leopard Mail SMTP server keeps going offline and won't come on

My SMTP in mail on my email accounts keeps going offline and I can't work out how to get it working again. My internet connection is fine. I am receiving emails. I was able to send earlier on my business email account but now my .mac account has gone offline and then my business on went on me.
I only started using my business email account in mail today and loaded the account into mail. Does anyone have any answers for this as I can see there have been some other people who might have had a similar problem but I can't see any fixes?
I have deleted and reloaded both my .mac and work account a couple of times now and restarted my computer but still no good.
Can anyone help?

I have that offline mail smtp server when I try to send emails from work with my macbook. I've always been able to send emails away from home using the login and password in the smtp configurations. It's a real pain since I use one email account for work and personal business. I can receive email but cannot send any. Everytime I have to answer an email while I'm working, I have to go to the browser, go to my provider's mail page, login and send from there my emails.
Do we have the same problem?

Mail - SMTP Server Offline

I am unable to send emails from my new MacBook on Mail using the SMTP server. I have a hotmail account and the server has apparently been offline for about a week. I am able to receive emails with no problems but Mail is unable to connect to the outgoing server. Also, I don't know if it has any impact, but I believe that Microsoft are trying to phase hotmail accounts to Outlook. Any advice?

Thanks, but I found that thread but it made no difference.
I was able to find ports 25 and 587, but not 465 - if that matters. The text on ports wasn't terribly clear to be honest.
465 is not a supported port.
Here are the correct settings, are you using them?
Incoming (POP3) Server
Server address: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
SSL Encryption: Yes
Outgoing (SMTP) Server
Server address: smtp.live.com
Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
Authentication: Yes
TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes
User name: Your email address
Password: Your password
If you don’t want email to be deleted from your Outlook.com inbox after it’s downloaded to your email app, select the Leave a copy of messages on the server option.

Mail - SMTP Server Fails

I'm completely baffled about why I can't succeed at sending email. I just went over all the settings with the ISP, and they say they are correct. Guy sounded kinda green, though. So maybe I'm not completely baffled.
I'm getting some conflicting data from Mail. The default set-up was for SMTP on port 465. My ISP wants Port 25. I'm running the Connection Doctor, which tells me I'm getting through to the POP server, but not SMTP. Passwords are identical, and working with the POP server.
The ISP uses a very vanilla SMTP set-up:
smtp.fubar.com
Port 25 (Which I reset to Port 25)
myusername
no SSL
password
Heres a log of a connection session:

Apparently, my ISP needs better help. It seems two things were going on ...
my return email address for the account I was setting up is not the same domain as the SMTP server. It appears that the connection was initially choking because of the mismatch. My usual email client, Mailsmith, doesn't introduce this problem, even with the same settings. Hmmmm ...
After I fixed that, it still didn't complete, however. But I got some good information from the Connection Doctor, finally. The SMTP server doesn't require authentication. My configuration was trying to authenticate, based on information from the ISP that both servers "use the same password". Ah well ...
Once authentication was turned off, it then started taking outgoing mail. Problem solved, I think.

2 step verification settings for outgoing MAIL SMTP for GMail

and i am in the outgoing SMTP > ADVANCED section of mail where i have an iCloud, GMail and domain based email SMTP addresses.
does anyone know if i set up a SMTP server for Mac Mail as having an authentication set to "none" or set to "password" for GMAIL and whether this password should be one of these online generated 2 step verification passwords?
i seem to have this account on sparrow with no problems at all but i am noticing that GMail mail is not showing up on either of my mac mail installations on either of my machines

Hi Hotwheels
had similar issues. But incoming worked fine immediately, only outgoing was an issue.
(Though on iPad + iPhone both in- and out-going mails worked fine.)
I generated a password via Google only ONCE for may Mail app. And I entered it only ONCE in the settings. No other changes done.
So on the Mail application, I saw e-mails coming in. My outgoing e-mail stayed in my "outbox".
I just switched to another outgoing server. In my case, when I opened the advanced settings, a popup screen showed up with a number (approx 10) outgoing servers, all named exactly the same: "Gmail" ;-)
The one that was selected had the message "off-line" behind it and so were a couple of others.
As soon as I picked one that was apparently on-line, the mails in my outbox were send within seconds ...
So problem solved without actually really changing settings or entering paswords.
Hope this helps

Changing outgoing mail SMTP

I set up my Yahoo e-mail account and tried turning off the primary outgoing smtp server (Yahoo's smtp) and turning on Gmail's outgoing smtp, but when I went back to the account settings screen, Yahoo still shows up as being on and primary. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have the same problem, I cannot change the smtp primary server. I posted a question but no responses yet.

Outgoing mail (SMTP) won't work

Setting up mail in new Imac and having problems with outgoing mail. Using SBC Global.net, (AT&T) have previously not had problems on prior system. Lost all previous settings, etc. on other so could not just transfer. Incoming mail seems to work find, but when trying to send keep getting msg. that the smtp server rejected the password. Have went to keychain and verified password, checked settings mail preferences, nothing seems to work, any ideas appreciated!

I think I may have just figured out a part of this puzzle. I have more than just my att account set up in Mail. Even though all of my accounts are setup to use the ATT SMTP server only (with the appropriate ATT login info) I am getting the same rejection notices as everyone else.
I noticed that in the rejection notice though, that it was saying I was sending mail from my other main account, not my sbcglobal (ATT) account. I thought that was strange since I set up all my accounts to use the SBC (ATT) login info for ATT's SMTP Server. So obviously it is a problem in Mail. Mail is somehow confused and sending some wrong piece of info to the SMTP server. When I changed the sender from my other account to my SBCGLOBAL account, the mail went right out with no other problems.
So this isn't a solution for those of you who are struggling with only an ATT account, but I think it points to a possible problem within Mail. The answer might be to delete the accounts in Mail and set them back up again. It's looking like Apple might need to make a tweak to Mail to fix this if indeed this is the correct cause. Hope this helps someone.

Using BT Mail smtp server for non-bt account

Having recently discovered the hard way that I was migrated (and had no BT e-mail for 3 days), I have now discovered that all the authorisations I had set up for sending of e-mail fwith the senders address being a non-bt account have gone.
The help files point me in the direction of setting up BT Mail to get non-bt mail for me. This is not what I want. All I need is to authorize andrew@******.org.uk as an authorised user on my BT account. Thunderbird is quite capable of getting the mail from mail.****.org.uk with POP3. I just need to be able to use the BT smtp server for outgoing mail only.
Help Please

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Appears to be working again with andrew@******.org.uk
I guess it was just a glitch.

Mail SMTP server not accepting password. Works on all other clients.

I am having issues with Mail and sending emails. Firstly I would like to say I have set this account up on Outlook 2011, Thunderbird and also Outlook PC and I can send and recieve with no problems.
On Mac mail I can recieve emails perfectly.
The account is set up with an SMTP Server. Our server requires authentication therefore I supply my username and password in there too. When I try to send an email mail says the server has rejected the password and asks for the correct password. The password I put in is correct, as it is the same password I have used on the other clients.
So there is something that Mail doesnt like when it comes this server and I cant work out what it is.
The only thing I thought of is that my password is all numbers. Could that make a difference?
Any ideas?

andrewrob,
I had the same problem and found that I had to unlock CAPTCHA here: http://www.google.com/ accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
This worked for me. If that doesn't work, you could try this:
1. Open Keychain Access (located inside the Utilities folder which is inside the Applications folder)
2. Highlight the login keychain in the white box to the left.
3. Click the lock above it to lock the login keychain.
4. Now unlock it.
5. Go back to Mail and enter your password again. You will probably have to do it once for incoming mail and once for outgoing mail.
I hope this helps!

MAC MAIL (smtp server - offline)

This is to address smtp server going offline:
troubleshooting steps:
Option 1.
- Mailbox - Take account Online
if that doesn't work...
Option 2.
- check smtp server
- Mail - Preferences - Accounts - Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
- remove current smtp server then add again
- take account offline then online
- quit and reopen Mac Mail
Option 3.
- delete and recreate account
Anyone experiencing the same problem? I have att.net. One email working with same smtp server. Other email setup, same att account with the same settings but smtp offline. Is this a Mac update issue? Time warner email accounts having the same problem.

I have just been able to send mail again. It is 2222hrs., 23 May.

No incoming or outgoing mail on server

Yesterday, the mail just stopped. No incoming or outgoing mail. I can't see what's wrong on the server (not much idea what to look for). From one of the Macs on the network, I ran Mail Connect doctor - error says - "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you have entered the correct info in Account preferences.
Can you help me solve this? Can browse the internet on all systems.

be sure to check recent threads about the old version of clamav. the 0.94 version won't receive updates any more, and you'll need to update.
