Send iCloud email from alternative smtp server?

How do I send iCloud email from alternative smtp server? The setting is 'greyed out' on my iPhone so I cannot tell iCloud to use another server.
The reason is so I can have my outgoing email appear from my own domain email address rather than my me.com address. Mobileme would allow this - and Mail on the Mac does allow it, but the iPhone under iOS 5 seems not to allow it....
Any ideas?

I have spent about 4-6 hours working directly with folks from Tim Cooke's office, various support levels, and through them their engineers.
As much as I tried to convince them their logic is flawed, the engineers for iCloud come back and say this is expected behavior because somehow it helps secure iCloud from being a spam source. The fine and helpful gentleman from Cooke's office now understands how it is a MobileMail.app client issue, having nothing to do with iCloud servers (because we are in fact trying to bypass their servers) still totes the "it's expected behavior" line from the server engineers.
I have implored him to follow up with the iOS MobileMail app programmers and not the iCloud programmers. I am hopeful he will. Until then you have to choose between having iCloud push and losing your online identity, or losing push email and keeping your preferred address.
Fun to try: turn off all smtp servers. Send email. Gets stuck in outbox. Turn on your preferred smtp server. That one email will use your preferred alternate address, but subsequent ones revert back to the old .me.com smtp servers. Personally I believe this points to a client programming error more than reinstating a preferred behavior. Aggravating!
I spend $500 on a new phone. Google takes away my exchange client ability and apple makes me choose push email vs outgoing email address.

How to poll emails from a SMTP server

Hi, It seems all the examples I found were to construct/send emails to SMTP server. How to build a module to retrieve emails from a SMTP server and then extract the info? I checked the javax.mail.Transport
class and could not find method such as getMail or getMessage. Thanks,

Close but so far... ;)
You'll want to check out the rest of the [url http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/index.html] JavaMail API classes . In particular take a look at the Store and Folder classes.
One last thing - here's a really good [url http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/JavaMail/] tutorial that may help.

Sending an email via alternative SMTP

Hi, up until recently Mail would politely prompt me to choose an alternate SMTP setting if I had sent an email using a non-available server setting. Example:
When at home my ISP requires me to use smtp.johndoe.com but when at work I use their relay settings, so instead of having to remember which one to use Mail used to come up with a dialogue box and I could select the appropriate one. For some bizarre reason that service just stopped.
Now, any mail sent using the wrong setting doesn't get flagged, it just sits in the mail out folder..
Any ideas anyone? thanks

The problem seems to be that the result of the first "run apple script action" is in a slightly different format than the "new mail message" action wants even though it's text. I don't know how to coerce it to the correct format from the "run apple script" action itself (it should be possible though) but an easy way around is to add a dummy "run shell script action which will do nothing but convert it to the correct format.
so change the beginning of your workflow like this
1. run apple script
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters}
set mypass to text returned of (display dialog "What are you doing?" with icon 1 buttons {"Tweet", "Cancel"} default button "Tweet" default answer "")
end run</pre>
2. run shell script
just add this action and keep it in the default form "cat". don't change anything in it.
3. new mail message.

Sending email from 2 SMTP servers

Hi Experts,
We have users from different domains in 1 client. Emails are send out from different domains. We directed SCOT to 1 of the SMTP server, and the email administrator will setup relays from this SMTP server to other SMTP servers. But now, some are saying that relays are not secure and that it should be removed. Hence, we are trying to find alternative.
How am I able to add another SMTP node in SCOT so that email from different domains are directed to different SMTP servers directly?
Thanks,
TM

You will not find anything from SAP to support your claim.
SAP designed its system to be able to send emails to a single SMTP node. That is a fact and it is logical because SAP Netweaver is not a dedicated mail software.
If you have more complex needs, you have to find a workaround.
In my company, my solution was to install an SMTP relay software managed by the SAP administration team.
Therefore we can set our own routing rules for incoming or outgoing mails from our SAP systems (ECC, SRM, CRM, etc...)
This SMTP relay can then send or receive emails from the company SMTP official servers.

Olivier

Sending an email from my Ipad I get "receipient was rejected by server because it does not allow relaying". What does this mean and how do I correct it?

When sending an email from my Ipad. I get "receipient was rejected by server because it does not allow relaying". What does this mean and how do I correct it?

On the email account's settings (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tapping on the account on the right), go into it's outgoing SMTP settings and try putting in your email name and password (they might currently show as 'optional')

HT1277 I can send & receive email from my ipad but for some reason I can no longer do this from my i mac.It keeps telling me that the password is not valid with the imap server.I keep entering the password but it won't accept it.

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.

Can i send a email from application without using exchange server?

You will require some kind of SMTP server to be able to send mail from your app (not necessarily M$ exchange.) Just look for mail servers for the platform of your choice.

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here:

Things appear to look ok.
But I can't connect make a test connection to it when I am trying to add an email account in Outlook.
I could be doing something wrong here.
This is my process.
1. I have setup my SMTP Server.
2. Created a user account in AD and given it an email address.
3. Opened Outlook and tried to manually add a POP3 account by specifying the incoming and outgoing Server details.

ICloud email generating error SMTP has rejected address

A very strange thing just started happening this weekend. I have been an iCloud user since it was .Mac and it's been my primary email client for years. I receive about one new email every five minutes. I can send and receive email from my MacBook Pro, my iphone, my iPad, and via icloud.com. I all these platforms constantly and I've had zero issues... until yesterday.
The main email address I use is technically an alias. It's a @me address, since that's the shortest to type. Yesterday a co-worker informed me she had gotten this error message when trying to send me email (yet I've been receiving daily emails from her for months):
Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address
Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias
Sure enough, I looked and realized I had not received any email all day, and I have still not received any today. Normally I receive several emails per hour. I checked my mail via icloud.com and there was nothing there either. I let it go for the rest of the day, figuring it was a server problem that Apple was working on.
This morning, however, the problem was continuing. So I tried generating a test message from icloud.com and sent it to my main alias (my primary email address, because it's easier to remember) and also to my main icloud email, which is also a @me address. The test email went through to my main icloud address with no problem but was rejected by the main alias with the same error message as above.
Next, I tried investigating my aliases. I have made no changes to any settings in quite some time, but this is what I found. When I checked my email aliases (I have 3 @me alliases beyond my main icloud id) on icloud.com, they had all vanished. Then I looked at the icloud advanced settings on my iphone. I saw that all the @me aliases remained, however my main @me alias was grayed out.
And that's where I'm at now. I thought for sure this was an Apple server problem, but I haven't seen any other messages reporting the problem, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

Hi Fly Line,
My world has gone eerily quiet too.
I am in exactly the same situation but mine is an old @mac address
So like you, the main email address I use is an @mac.com alias. I get lots of emails every day for work. They all stopped coming to this alias yesterday (June 6th)
Mail was behaving oddly, but I was too busy to work out what was happening.
I've just discovered that all my original @mac alliases have disappeared from Mail on my iMac and also have disappeared when I log into iCloud via Safari
The aliases are showing up on my iPhone, but as you have said, the primary email address (mine is an @mac adddress) is greyed out. I'm not sure if that's just because it's the primary address.
The aliases ARE showing up on my Macbook Pro.
I tried sending an email from both the iMac and the Macbook. Both returned the message "The server response was: unknown or illegal alias: alias"
I havent changed any settings either. I can't help you as I am at a complete loss. I may try calling Apple on Monday. I'll let you know if I come up with anything. It would be great to hear from you if you have found a solution

Is there an easier way to send an email from a servlet?
Thanks
tzaf

It's not a matter of "easier way" to send mail from servlet...you are missing a crucial element in your code: authorization to send mail. You need something like this (some of which you have already so note what is different):
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("mail.smtp.host", String3 );
        properties.put("mail.smtp.dsn.notify", "SUCCESS" );
        properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "mailservernamegoeshere");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        MyAuthenticator auth = new MyAuthenticator();
        auth.setUser("user whos account you want to use goes here");
        auth.setPassword("user password goes here");
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( properties,auth );Here is the auth class:
class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
   protected String m_strUser     = null;
   protected String m_strPassword = null;
   protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
      return new PasswordAuthentication(m_strUser,m_strPassword);
   public void setUser(String strUser) {
      m_strUser = strUser;
   public void setPassword(String strPassword) {
      m_strPassword = strPassword;

Sending an email from my database

Hi!
I wanna send an email from within a procedure from my database, Im thinking of using the utl_smtp package, I know I need acces from my database server to the smtp server, that can be done... when u use the utl_smtp package u need to specify the smtp host, the email address of the sender, the email address of the receptor, and some other stuff, what I wonder is: Where do u specify the password of the email address of the sender?, I mean, it doesnt make sense that u use an email address to send an email and u dont specify the password of that account
In all the samples Ive seen all over internet I havent found something that tells me something about it...
Any Help???

A lot of smtp servers do not require a username/password when sending mail, only when receiving mail.
If you need verification, you can do it with utl_smtp:
utl_smtp.command( conn, 'AUTH LOGIN');
utl_smtp.command( conn, utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_encode.base64_encode( utl_raw.cast_to_raw( cuser ))) );
utl_smtp.command( conn, utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_encode.base64_encode( utl_raw.cast_to_raw( cpassword ))) );

Sending an email from Lotus Notes release 5.0.4a

I need to write java code for sending an email from Lotus Notes release 5.0.4a.
Initially, I tried using Lotus Domino Toolkit for java, but the current release, "Lotus Domino ToolKit for Java/Corba release 5.0.8" is not compatible with the notes client/server we are using(5.0.4a).
Now, I am trying to use "Lotus Domino Toolkit 2.1" which supports notes version 5.0.3 and higher, but I couldnot find out how to use it to send email.
Is there are other way in which we can connect to Lotus Notes for sending email. I cannot use SMTP as the Lotus Notes administrator is afraid of security issues so there is no possibility that I can connect to Domino server using java mail API by enabling SMTP on the Domino server.
I would be thankful if somebody can help me to do this.

First off - This is very "off topic"
The Domino SMTP server is not hard to lock down. Any Notes Admin worth his/her salt should know how to do it. Try to persuade them to run the SMTP stuff using name and password authentication only, or restrict access to an IP address range. This is all easy stuff.
Otherwise DIIOP/CORBA is one way to go. If your toolkit jar files don't work with the server then try using the ones on the server. Look in %noteshome%\data\domino\java for the ncso.jar file.
This works for me on an AS/400 java VM to WinNT/Linux Domino servers of various versions.
How to create an email using this method is again not difficult. All you really need is a blank database template. You have to create a document with certain fields in it (all documented) and then save it. That's all there is to it.
Word of warning DIIOP is not very rapid and careless coding can create problems. Ensure that once you have finished a session you make sure you close it else you will have continual connection problems.
Try searching around the domino/notes groups on how to actually do this.
