Problems sending e-mail to SMTP

I have been having problems using mail from a secondary account that I set up for my son's macbook. I have no problems sending / receiving e-mail from the main (ADMIN) account. However, when I try to use the same settings in my son's account, I can only receive e-mails. Outgoing e-mail just sits in the outbox and never gets sent. The inbound e-mail server is POP3 and the outbound is SMTP (port 25 is blocked by the ISP). As I said it works fine for the main OS account but not when the same settings are used to set up the e-mail on the secondary OS account. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Hope you can read dutch?

Having problem sending e-mails. There's a message on the screen saying that "the sender address was rejected by a server.

I'm having problem sending e-mails. There's a message on the screen after I press send saying that "The sender adress was rejected by a server.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached?

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached? I receive the following message:
Sending the message content to the server failed.
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.
Is there a fix for this?

Anyone? I was hoping my problem would just 'fix itself'... but I still have some clients telling me they're not receiving any email from me. I've since deleted that account on my computers and re-added it. But still having the same issue.

Problems sending/eceiving mail

The last month or so I've been having problems sending/receiving mail thru the Apple mail app. the error message is something like, error sending mail, try with another client? Comcast is my mail server, but I also have my Google account accessible thru mail, so I use that to send. I can definitely work around this, but am wondering what I might do to fix it?

I have the identical issue with comcast and mail (...) it's really not their issue - I'm sure it's the mail app
Really? What makes you so sure? I've had no problems connecting to any mail servers (within allowed use limits imposed by the server, like not sending from outside their network) using Mail, and I've used it over the years with Earthlink, Adelphia, RoadRunner, GMail, pair.com and Mac.com (those are the ones I remember). If multiple people are having problems with Comcast+Mail, chances are better that Comcast is doing something a little on the edge of dodgy than that Mail is doing something wrong that only shows up with Comcast servers.

TS3899 My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account

My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account for the last two days. I get a 'recipient rejected by the server' message. I have not changed any settings. If I change the from address to i-cloud the e-mails go. Advice please.

i think you need to contact your email provider - that sounds like an issue on their end and nothing to do with your phone.

I have problems sending e-mail from my iPhone. I can receive OK.

hi neuro11
the following code is for sending mail its is working fine in my system, just change the
SMTP_AUTH_USER = "tina.numi"; with u r email user name
SMTP_AUTH_PWD = "abdcde"; u r gmail password
emailFromAddress = "[email protected]"; ur gmail addres
emailList = {"[email protected]"}; receipient list .
and u must sure that u r internet is on and firewall should be off . some times firewall restricts you to communicate with gmail port number
Please make u r firewall off and source code is
package com.FutureSoft.org.SendingMail;
Some SMTP servers require a username and password authentication before you
can use their Server for Sending mail. This is most common with couple
of ISP's who provide SMTP Address to Send Mail.

Problems sending e-mail

Every once in a while, Mail does this:
It will send and receive e-mails with no problem, but then it decides to have problems sending and pops up this error box stating: "can't be delievered and will remin in your outbox until it can be delievered. the server smtpauth.earthlink.net can't be contacted on port 25".
Yesterday I had two emails in waiting to be sent out; Mail sent one with no problem, but the second, that error message popped up and it couldn't send. What in the world??
I have checked everything I know, read articles on apple and have done what I read...nothing helps fix this very annoying problem.
Mail just came with a new error message a second ago for me: instead of port 25 not working; it said port 0 timed out.
Someone help me to understand this and to fix it. thanks!

I use the following settings for Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: My entire earthlink email address.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
In addition, go to System Preferences > Network.
At Show:, select Network Port Configurations.
Disable any network port configurations that you don't need or regularly use and select/drag your active network port configuration to the top of the list if not already there.
Do you have any SMTP servers available that are not being actively used by any accounts? If so, delete any such SMTP servers.

Problem sending a mail to many adresses with attachments (Javamail, JSP)

Hi,
i got a problem with JavaMail trying to send a mail to different email-adresses in a JSP. The mail should be send to about 27 adresses, which works fine whenever i send it without any attachments. As soon as i attach a file, the mail still gets send without an error, but only to about 12 adresses instead of the intended 27. I get the adresses out of a database and in either case, there ist the correct amount of adresses. The Mailserver doesnt report anything - it sends the mails without any problem at the 12 adresses.
Here is the part of the code, thats sending:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "192.168.1.1 ");
Session s;
MimeMessage message;
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("[email protected]");
InternetAddress to;
s = Session.getInstance(props,null);
Transport trans=s.getTransport("smtp");
//get adresses from db
while (rspartner.next())
     to = new InternetAddress(rspartner.getString("postfach"));
     message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
     empfaengerzeile=rspartner.getRow();
     //out.println(empfaengerzeile+" --- "+rspartner.getString("postfach")+"<br>");
     BodyPart messageBodyPart=new MimeBodyPart();
     messageBodyPart.setText(nachricht);
     Multipart multipart=new MimeMultipart();
     multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
     //Dateinamen und Speicherort des Plan ermitteln
     queryAnhang=dbCon.prepareStatement("select pfad from m_baukoord_kommentar where baukoord_id=? and titel='Entwurfsplan'");
     queryAnhang.setString(1,request.getParameter("projektid"));
     rsanhang=queryAnhang.executeQuery();
     rsanhang.next();
     datei=rsanhang.getString("pfad");
     //Datei zippen
     quellpfad+= ebaukonr.trim() + "/" + datei;
     if(datei.contains("."))
          zipfilename=datei.substring(0,datei.lastIndexOf('.'))+".zip";
     else
          zipfilename=datei+".zip";
     zielpfad=config.getServletContext().getRealPath("")+"/strasse/UserDownloads/" + zipfilename;

     zipout.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(datei));
     int len;
     while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
         zipout.write(buf, 0, len);
     zipout.closeEntry();
     in.close();
     zipout.close();
     //Datei anhaengen

     message.setContent(multipart);
     trans.send(message);

With active debug i got following information:
The first mail in the debug-log is with the source code as quoted in my first post, the second mail is when i cut out the part which generates and adds the attachement. I had to make the adresses anonymous, but the second mail contains a lot more adresses then the first, although they both use the same query with same parameters, etc.
Have i done something wrong with the attachements? Overwriting headers, syntax errors, anything? I'm out of ideas...
edit: Had to cut out the debug-log because it is too big. It just said that everything was working ok, but the first mail contains too few adresses and the second (without attachement) the correct number of adresses. I can mail the log, if you like.

Problem sending AOL mail in Mail 2.1.1

I just switched from using the AOL mail program to the Mac Mail program for sending and receiving AOL mail. It worked flawlessly for 2 weeks. Then, suddenly yesterday I could only receive AOL mail, I could not send. I have scoured the Apple discussions and Googled the web for any causes of this problem, but cannot find a reason.
Anyone else having this problem? I have checked and rechecked my settings in Mail preferences. I have deleted and re-added the AOL account.
What is odd is that every once in a while I can send a few test messages and then it stops working again. I know, I hate AOL, but for various reasons I have to keep the account.
Thanks,
Sue

Not sure how you missed it - the answer for Susan is in her previous post.
However, I tried something else this morning and it worked. Since I have a Broadband connection thru my cable company, I set it as the smtp server for sending mail and that worked. It is invisible to the recipients, in other words, the From in the header to recipients still says it's from my AOL.com account.
If you have confirmed AOL's authenticated SMTP server settings using Port 587 which recently stopped working, depending on the error message provided more than likely your internet service provider made a change in regards to using an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
If you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with Mail and there are no problems sending messages with this account and SMTP server, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your AOL account which can also be used to send messages with any email account that is not provided by your ISP.
If not, add your ISP's SMTP server to Mail as an available SMTP server to select/use for sending messages with your AOL account.
This was/is Susan's solution and the solution required by many depending on their ISP's restrictions.

Send a mail via smtp without authentication

Hello,
I'm developping a web application that reports errors or 'strange situations' to the application'a admin with an e-mail message to the address entered in a sort of wizard. I've read some tutorials and actually I'm able to send mail via smtp only with authentication, withouth i get this error: "530, Address requires authentication". How can i send mails without authentication?

Normally the administrator of those forums is also the administrator of the SMTP server they use, so they configure the server to accept requests from the forum software without authentication.
If you are running your own SMTP server you can do that too. If you are using somebody else's server you will have to follow their rules. You could always contact the administrator and ask whether you could be made exempt from authentication...

Does SAP can send a mail thru smtp server ?

Hello everybody ,
Does sap 4.7 can write a abap program to send a mail thru another smtp server (ex:lotus notes) ?

Best Regards,

Hi,
As far as i know , it is not possible to send a mail through external server (lotus notes).
