SMTP Server down/Outgoing mail stopped working

Wednesday morning, July 1, my outgoing mail stopped working. I'm using Mac Mail on OSX Yosemite. Incoming mail is working just fine. Outgoing says it can't make a connection.I have it set as smtp.comcast.net port 465 Use SSL is checked. Password authentication. I have rebooted the router (which came from Comcast). I've tried unchecking password authentication, chaging to port 567. Nothing works.

No.. Still isn't working. I tried the .plist edit solution (which frankly, seemed like a bad idea) and deleting all the comcast entries from the keychain. I was prompted for a password when receiving mail, but sending mail is still not working.
dougc84 - I've sent you a private message.

I upgraded the software on my Time Capsule and outgoing mail stopped on my Mac Air

Hi
I upgraded the software on my Time Capsule and outgoing mail stopped on my Mac Air
My colleagues are using my Time Capsule on their Mac Air (with Lion OS System) and Dell with MS OS System.
I am on OS X 10.6.8 and was sucessfully using SMTP for outgoing mail .... after my update for the Time Capsule, Mail on my Mac Air stopped
Why?
Thanks in advance
Jan

Hi Garmulewicz,
Can you tell us a little bit about the SMTP service? What port is it set to use? Authentication SMTP? Have you tried manually sending over Port 25, 587 or 465? If you bypass the Time Capsule can you confirm that SMTP traffic still works behind the same modem?
I've personally never seen an update break SMTP, that would imply that the update somehow is blocking the port where SMTP is occurring. What if you configure a personal GMail account or something else, does that work?

Mail refuses to acknowledge the real outgoing SMTP settings - no work mail

I am having trouble sending mail from my work email.
When I press "send" I get the message that I cannot send the message due to "SMTP authentication turned on in your email client".
My mail preferences clearly state that I have NOT turned on outgoing smtp authentication.
When I then open the message in the Outbox I cannot send it until I've manually pressed "Get mail" and then try to send it again.
- Do you know how to make it work again, or why Mail behaves this way?
Other notes: I can use the same address without problems on a PC and cell phone.
I recently changed from checking for new mail every 5 minutes to checking manually.

It looks like this outgoing server uses a form of authentication known as “POP before SMTP” or “SMTP after POP”:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POPbeforeSMTP
The way to set up that outgoing server in Mail would be setting Authentication to None in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, and either telling Mail to regularly check for new mail in Preferences > General (e.g. every 5 or 15 minutes), or manually checking for new mail before sending.
If that outgoing server works that way and you’ve stopped checking for mail regularly then, well, it should be no surprise that you have to check for new mail manually in order to be able to send...

Cfmail - outgoing SMTP in bulk?

Hello,
We have a few clients who are youth sports leagues and who, a
few times a year, need to send emails out to 'all parents' - this
can be 6000-8000 recipients a pop. We have an email manager program
that generates recipient lists, works with FCKEditor to create the
email, and then loops over the list and initiates a <cfmail>
call for each and every recipient.
This is not usually a problem, even in moderate quantites of
one or two thosuand. The problems occur when we get two leagues who
both do this at the same time, or one league who sends out a big
email and cuts-and-pastes from MS word where the email is 200kb of
HTML. I know we could stop the latter from happening, but I'd
rather find a way to (gasp) enable their bad behavior, if at all
possible.
Originally, we had an offsite email provider that we used for
everything. The problem was that it would require CFMAIL to
authenticate for each and every email sent, adding something on the
order of 5-8 seconds' delay to each email. This made sending more
than a few hundred impractical. We switched to using IIS' built-in
SMTP service right on the same machine as our Coldfusion server,
and this has served us pretty well; we don't authenticate but we
only allow connections from our local IP. We still have the same
basic problem, though, even if it takes more effort to gum up the
works.
My question is: does anyone know a reputable provider of
outgoing, SMTP-only email service that would either not require
authentication, or would cache authentication based on IP so as not
to require us to re-authenticate every single time we send an
email, or else some way around having to send X-thousand individual
emails that won't trigger spam filters? How have you solved this
problem?
Thanks very much!
SK

Azadi,
We deal with volunteer parents and thousands of them every
year - and they migrate in and out of the program as their children
do. It is impractical to try and require them to sign up for
mailing lists, or even to maintain mailing lists with the
infrastructure we have. We also have users with multiple roles, and
recipient lists that are only 10-12 people - 'all parents on team A
in division X' or 'all volunteer referees in division Y' and so on.
There are dozens and dozens of recipient lists that change up to
three times a year.
We have user addresses in a database and are willing to
entertain any solution that doesn't require our users to do
anything differently that is within our means.

How do you delete outgoing (SMTP) servers???

Due to the fact many SMTP servers require you to be on their network to login, I have at varioius times set up 3 different SMTP servers in the mail app setup. The mail app never forgets them once you set them up. It even remembers multiple copies of the same SMTP server where I just tried different settings/passwords. The mail app adds all these SMTP accounts (I now have 7 including "other SMTP servers") when I only set up one after deleting the account and starting over. Worse yet, these 7 represent only 3 unique servers and when it's trying to test the outgoing (SMTP) server at setup, it takes forever while it tests all 7 apparently.
Deleting mail account doesn't get rid of these SMPT servers. Resetting iPhone doesn't work because it restores them from from backup in iTunes. There should be some way to get mail app to forget every server/name/password combination you have ever entered when trying to get connected to an outgoing server.
Lest anyone think this is unecessary, keep in mind you can't send from home via cmwx server if you get bad cell coverage. You can't send away from home if you are off your home network, and you can't send from a hotel room with wi-fi access if you have no cell coverage. I fianlly set up a mail account that can be connected to from anywhere, but now I can't get rid of all the rest!

Seems that the only way to clear them out would be to perform a Restore in iTunes and set up as a new phone (not from backup). Note that this is also the only way to clear out the email address autofill list (and that one affects a lot more people than the SMTP server list, I'm sure).

Setting up a mail client and the outgoing SMTP set...

If you switch to BT and you already have email accounts set up in a mail client such as Mac Mail, you will not find any help from BT to set up correct outgoing SMTP mail server settings. Most other ISP's are usually very helpful with this but BT have a policy that is designed to make things very difficult to use anything but a BT email account. They claim that it is "To protect our email server from abuse by spammers". However, the solution to this has potentially quite the opposite effect as you will not be able to enable SSL for it to work!!
OK so the first thing to do is create a new 'MY BT' account and then go to 'email' and create a new BT email account. Keep a note of address and password as you will need this later.
Go back to the main BT home page and click on mail. You should land on a page that has the new 'BT Mail Account' in the left column and above a purple tool bar with 'Settings at the end. Click on 'Settings'.
In the left column, underneath 'Mail' click on 'Accounts'
Click 'Add' and fill in the details of your 3rd party (Non BT) account. They encourage IMAP only but I used 'POP" with no problems as I have no intention of using the BT mail client.
In 'Mail settings' fill out the mail server details from your email provider or where your site is actually hosted. For example if you are using 000webhost.com then they will advise 'mx.000webhost.com' or may be 'mail.yourwebsitename'
The correct port to enter is the port listed in your web client. For me with Mac Mail then this is listed in preferences and if you check this then also double check that use SSL is NOT checked
Enter the email user name and password of your 3rd party account
Make sure in 'Security' that 'Requires SSL' is NOT checked
Then save the account
Click on the 'Email' link in the purple tool bar and there now under the 'BT Mail Account' should be your 3rd party account. Click on it and it should now load your email. If it doesn't then you will have to try again the steps above as there is no point in going any further if the BT client cannot access your account.
OK if it is working then go to your email client (Mac Mail in my case) and in preference set up your 3rd party account as follows.
Incoming mail server is as the info from your host ( like as in 'mx.000webhost.com' above). Enter user name and password for the 3rd party account.
Now set up an Outgoing mail server (SMPT). I just called it BT with the server name 'mail.btinternet.com'. In the advance section click use default ports. It actually uses 465 if you do not have a default option.
Do NOT enable SSL
Set Authentication to 'Password'
Then in user name enter the details of the NEW BT account you opened for user name and password.
And that's it. Well it works for me! I got no assistance whatsoever from BT in trying to solve this. I asked to cancel my new BT infinity service after only 5 days when it proved so difficult to get an email client like mac mail to work. I had 4 calls from them and even the 'Tech Experts' had no idea what I was talking to them about!

Ah yes Thank you Oliver that is a better solution. However all the settings in the BT client have to remain as no SSL. If you change to use SSL there you will not be able access the 3rd party email account.
Your email client cannot handle SSL for SMTP (BT) and non-SSL for POP3 (000webhost)?

Problem is resolved

Cannot edit outgoing SMTP server list in mail.app

Did a fresh install of Snow Leopard on a new 13" Macbook Pro unibody and was trying to add an IMAP email account. After failing to connect, I was trying to specify the outgoing port and realized that I could not edit the outgoing SMTP server list.
Steps to reproduce error:
1. Open mail.app
2. Go to Mail > Preferences
3. Select "Accounts" tab and select any mail account
4. Select "Account Information" tab and click Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down menu
5. Select "Edit SMTP Server List..."
After that point the instead of opening the list of servers with their settings, it simply returns to the "Account Information" screen. I'm a bit confused because I've never had this happen before in any other version of mail app. I cannot edit or delete any outgoing mail server accounts because of this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

This should not happen. Had you migrated back to the fresh install the Mail folder in User-Library? Or is this a clean setup? I would go to User-Library-Preferences, and drag the com.apple.mail.plist to the trash, then open Mail and try again.

Outgoing smtp problem in Mail

My outgoing smtp server in Mail Account Information is shown as "offline" and I can't send emails. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem and what the smtp should read or be inserted as? Thanks.

EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
In Accounts window, select to Edit SMTP Server list...
Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
Click on Advanced tab. Enter full email address and password
Name. [email protected]
Add password if it is blank.
Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587. Verify if they require SSL.

Is there a way to bypass having to use an outgoing SMTP server?

Hi all,
I'm always mailing from different places with my MacBook, and it's a drag that I have to figure out the outgoing SMTP server the whole time.
You don't have to fill in outgoing SMTP servers if you're using Thunderbird or Entourage, but I prefer working with mail because of it's Address Book & iCal integration.
Is there a way NOT to have to fill in a local SMTP server, without transferring to a paid .mac account etc?

Sounds like you've got it solved, but just for future reference, Google Mail (Gmail) allows you to use their outgoing mail servers for any email anywhere. I've got a Mac email, so I use the MobileMe Mail Server for that.
But I've also got another email that's non-Mac that I use for a vacation rental property. It uses a domain I bought. Then all I did was create a Gmail email account and then I can use Gmail's outgoing mail server (smtp.gmail.com) for this other email that's neither a Gmail or Mac account. You need to create a Gmail account to make this work cuz it uses authentication (Gmail email and password) to allow access to Gmail's outgoing mail server. But you don't need to use the Gmail email at all.
Hopefully this isn't too confusing. The bottom line to all this is I can use Gmail's outgoing mail server for any email address I have from anywhere in the world. I never have to change it.

AMAVIS blocking outgoing SMTP despite main.cf settings

My mail server, which has been running without issues for years, suddenly started silently dropping outgoing emails sent from my personal account. After some digging I have found that my outgoing mail is being tagged as spam and being silently dropped without being sent. The emails are being tagged as spam because my home dynamic IP is listed in SORBS DUL.
Here is an example line from my amavis.log file:
Oct 19 09:29:13 Server.local /usr/bin/amavisd[1181]: (01181-05) SPAM, <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>, Yes, hits=6.722 tag=-999 tag2=5 kill=5 tests=ALL_TRUSTED, AWL, BAYES_50, DNSFROM_RFCWHOIS, RCVDIN_SORBSDUL, quarantine spam-3a4766c00e2107263ba8c8adadbba3c3-20071019-092909-01181-05 (spam-quarantine)
This has never been a problem for me before, and I assumed I was safe from this issue because I have the following lines in my main.cf file:
smtpdclientrestrictions = permitsaslauthenticated permit_mynetworks permitsaslauthenticated permit
smtpdrecipientrestrictions = permitsasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauthdestination,permit
My server is set to reject any outgoing mail unless you log in with a valid username and password, and I have double checked that I am authenticating for outgoing SMTP in Entourage.
Can anyone help me understand why spam checks are taking place when these settings are place as well as how to resolve this issue?
Thanks!

Your main.cf settings only tell Postfix to avoid any further checks on authenticated users and accept mail into the queue. The content filter (amavisd) on OS X Server is configured to be a "post-queue" service. As such amavisd will examine any mail being passed on from the postfix queue.
There are many ways to prevent this. The simplest being the use of an additional submission port for authenticated users which makes no use of content filtering at all.

Outgoing SMTP Unresponsive

I am having problems with configuring my wife's email account on her eMac. She is running Tiger. This is the full story:
I created 3 email addresses on her web hosting account:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
I set up [email protected] on my eMac in Mail and it works perfectly. both ingoing and outgoing.
The problem I had today was when I was at Paula's office and tried to set up [email protected] on her office computer. It is also an eMac running OS 10.4.3 it accepted the info for incoming server but outgoing just brings up an error message 'outgoing smtp server not responding' I am not familiar with Tiger and this is the first time Mail has been used. It brings up a set up box. It does not allow me to enter or check that it is using port 25
I presume there is a preference somewhere that needs changing.
Any suggestions. Assume a minimum of computer savvy and zero knowledge of Tiger.
Thanks

Hi.
In addition to the other replies, you will probably get 553 verification errors and linked to a page to verify the Business email address.
The BT help page is actually now out of date, and frankly of no real value. It gives no real help with information about using mail client programs.
My shortcuts option 0e contains more accurate and more infomation.
