"RFC 2822" error message when sending group emails

I periodically send bulk emails to groups from my AddressBook, and have done so w/o glitches for years. Suddenly, I'm getting this weird error message: "Message does not conform to RFC 2822 standard". Earthlink tech support was unable to figure it out. Mac tech support said to cut down the number of contacts in my groups. Tried that. No go. I see others here have run into this. I tried the "BCC" workaround that some kind soul posted a few months back (Add the desired AddressBook group to the BCC field instead of the "To" field.). This did work (thank you, kind soul!), but it seems like a provisional solution. Has Mac or anybody else figured out what this RFC thing is all about and how to fix it for good?
Any help would be much appreciated.

When you put the group in the BCC: field, are you also putting at least one address (usually your own) in the To: field?
I would also make sure that there are no typos, and especially no spaces, in all the email addresses.

  • Office 365 - Outlook error message when sending an email

    Error Message: "The operation failed. The message interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem persists restart Outlook." By simply recreating a new email with the same message I am able to send. In most cases there are a lot of
    attachments that I must search for because I cannot copy & paste attachments from the old email to the new. I have other goofy problems with Outlook but want to deal with this first as it is very time consuming rebuilding these emails.

    Hi,
    Please create a new Outlook profile for your account to check whether the issue persists. If it works well in the new profile. The issue should be caused by Outlook Data Files corrupting. To create a new Outlook profile, please refer to:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    If the issue continues in new profile, please restart Outlook in safe mode(Start > Run > Outlook /safe) to check whether the issue is caused by any third-party add-ins.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

    Since Entourage is not an Apple product you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for Entourage as they are more focused on the issue than a forum for Apple's own Mail application:

    What error message are you getting when try to send out emails and what type of email account is it?

  • People not getting error message when sending to a group larger than they are alowed to.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm administrating a hosted exchange environment where we limit the mailboxes to 50 recipients per sent mail as can be seen here:
    However, if someone tries to send a message that has more recipients than the number specified in the restriction, they don't get an error message from the server informing them that they exceeded the allowed number of recipents nor do they get an NDR message
    informing them that the recipient didn't recieve the message - is there a way to make sure they get either of the two?

    Hi ,
    In your case , If the recipient count is more than 50 recipients then the sender will be getting the reply from Microsoft exchange recipient saying that "Remote Server returned '550 5.5.3 RESOLVER.ADR.RecipLimit; too many recipients".
    But in your case you didn't get that message .so there are only two ways to find that. 
    1.Please do the message tracking with the sender as Microsoft exchange recipient and the recipient as the sender address .So that we came to know whether that generated email has been delivered to the sender's mailbox.
    2.In case if the track shows that the NDR was delivered then the final option is to check the is there any rules on the mailbox  is removing such kind of messages or else it would be moved to some other folders in the mailbox.
    3.Another option is to ensure that those NDR messages are not blocked up by the third parties agents installed on the transport servers ?
    4.Please check those NDR emails in junk mails folder too. By default exchange will not move those NDR emails to junk folder.
    5.Moreover please tell me is this issue is happening for all the mailboxes or else in only one mailbox ?
    6.Then tell me that the sent mail with more than 50 recipients got delivered to the recipients ?
    7.Have you tried your testings in owa ?
    8.Have you reset the recipient restriction on the senders mailbox and give it again for testing ?
    Note : Below is the command to find out the Microsoft exchange recipient address
    Get-OrganizationConfig | fl *MicrosoftExchangeRecipientPrimarySmtpAddress*
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

  • Error message when sending email to 100+ recipients

    I am trying to "reply to all" on an email I got with 103 people on the list. I get an error message that says, "the server did not recognize the following recipients" and lists about 25 recipients. It also says the message will remain in my Outbox until it can be delivered.
    What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Yes, I was just about to mention the fact that most ISPs limit the number of outgoing eMails, to cut down on SPAMming supposedly, so you figured it out yourself.
    There are pther reports here in the past of the same problem... cure was exactly what you did.

  • Error message when sending mail

    I am using a G3 tower runnig OSX 10.3.9 with 768 megs of memory. I am using Mac Mail and had tried to send an email that I had accidentally attached the wrong file (12 megs). I realized my mistake after I hit send and I tried to delete it from the outbox. I did, but then it wouldn't let me send any emails. It just stayed in the outbox. I can still receive mail just fine. I researched your message boards and thought I came up with the solution; delete the outbox file from the library/mail/mailbox folder. I did that and then restarted. Then when I tried to send an email it gave me this error message"
    "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    5.7.1 This message has been blocked because it is from a RBL/ORDBL IP address.(connection black ip 66.205.147.67)"
    My ISP tech support people are certain that this is a software problem and they won't help me. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    This is not a software problem.
    It appears your IP address or a range of IP addresses
    including your IP address has been incorrectly
    identified by the recipient's incoming mail server as
    sending spam thru the account's SMTP server and has
    been black listed.
    Is your computer IP address 66.205.147.67?
    Have you tried sending a test message to yourself or
    to another email address?
    Yes, that is my ip address. Yes, I have tried sending mail to myself and it stays in the outbox after giving me that error message. Is there anything I can tell my ISP to do? Or is it beyond their control?

  • Could not initialize the browser's security component Error message when sending a link

    Using Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. Firefox version is 3.6.3 and Thunderbird version is 2.0.0.24
    When sending a link with Firefox I get an error message "Could not initialize the browser's security component...". Tried deleting the cert8.db and secmod.db. Noticed if Thunderbird is already open I don't get the error message. But if Thunderbird is closed then opens to send the link I get that error message. Seems the security certificates aren't being passed to Thunderbird when it is opening up.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == 2 days ago.

    Try to remove or rename the secmod.db (secmod.db.old) file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    If that didn't help then remove or rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.

  • Error message when trying to email from iPhoto

    Just spoke to Apple support because I was unable to email from iPhoto unless I went through Mail (i.e. no templates). I had struggled with this for some months. The patient and helpful Apple people solved the problem after a couple of hours. Two-step verification in iCloud was the source. Since the email originates in the iPhoto app, it is necessary to use an app-specific password in iPhoto/ preferences/accounts/iCloud account.
    That's why my wife's computer didn't have the problem. She doesn't have two-step verification enabled.
    Thanks to Apple for the excellent support.

    Yes, LarryHN is right - two-step verification seems to be causing this problem in some cases.
    Other forum members reported, that creating  an app-specific password is required, see the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)
