Send Mail timed out

Ok, so I'm relatively new to OS x server but I consistantly am having a sendmail problem. I can receive mail and send mail "most" of the time. But, I do get errors when sending to blackberry's, hotmail, and essentially random domains. What I get are conection timed out error. Heres an example from my SMTP log :
Nov 9 19:36:56 (servername) postfix/smtp[21684]: connect to mail.senecac.on.ca[142.204.1.36]: Operation timed out (port 25)
First of all, anyone have any comments or solutions?
Second On my router I have doubled/triple checked that my port 25 is open. I can send send mail to some domains with no fail. When i send to my blackberry i get log data like this :
Nov 9 19:31:02 Winterswarmth postfix/smtp[21627]: A566E3F45C: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=30, status=deferred (connect to mail.senecac.on.ca[142.204.1.36]: Operation timed out)
Nov 9 19:31:02 Winterswarmth postfix/smtp[21628]: connect to mx1.rog.mail.yahoo.com[67.28.113.16]: Operation timed out (port 25)
Nov 9 19:31:32 Winterswarmth postfix/smtp[21628]: connect to mx1.rog.mail.yahoo.com[64.156.215.23]: Operation timed out (port 25)
Nov 9 19:32:02 Winterswarmth postfix/smtp[21628]: connect to mx2.rog.mail.yahoo.com[66.94.225.172]: Operation timed out (port 25)
Nov 9 19:32:03 Winterswarmth postfix/smtp[21628]: A566E3F45C: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mx2.rog.mail.yahoo.com[206.190.37.6], delay=91, status=sent (250 ok dirdel)
In the end it send, it just takes several attempts.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think you are confusing things here.
While you can change the port used for submission from your mail clients to your mail server, you cannot (should not) change the outgoing port for your smtp server. All mail servers expect incoming traffic on port 25, thus using port 587 will not get your mail delivered (it will go through your firewall, but that's about it).
If your mail server (not client) is behind a firewall with port 25 blocked, there is no way it can send mail to outside domains. So either get your ISP to let port 25 through for your server or use your ISP's smpt server to send mail (this can be done directly, or through your mail server relaying through your ISPs server).

Cannot send mail when out and about

Hey all
I recently got my Iphone4 and synced it to my mail on my computer. When using my iphone at home it send mail without a problems as it goes through my wifi I have. Internet is virgin media and mail is with windows mail by the way incase its important.
When I am out and about I can recieve email without a problem but cannot send anything at all.
What do I need to do so that I can send mail no matter where I am?
Thanks

It's most likely exactly the same issue. Most ISPs only allow you to use their outgoing email server whilst connected to their internet service.
With a mobile device like an iPhone you won't always be connected to your ISPs internet service. Sometimes it will be your mobile network provider (when on 3G), or on some other WiFi service like a public hotspot in Starbucks or McDonalds.
When you are not connected to your ISPs internet service, you either have to use the SMTP server of the internet provider you are connected to (awkward to keep changing, even if you know it), or you "authenticate" your connection to your ISPs SMTP server (if they allow it) with a username and password so that they can verify it is you who is using their server and not some spammer.
The best way to avoid all this, is to use an email provider that is totally independent of any internet provider and will therefore work from anywhere, regardless of how you are connecting to the internet.
GMail and Apple's own MobileMe offer authenticated SMTP servers that work from anywhere.

Mail Timed Out; Not Receiving New Mail

I deleted about 200 emails while offline. When I went online, Mail wouldn't bring in my new e-mail though I could see it on the MobileMe webmail page. I checked preferences and it said the Mail had 'timed out'. I tried to quit Mail but the 'quit' in the menu bar is no longer highlightable. I rebooted and same problems. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Are you following the below steps to integarte your Gmail ID in BlackBerry -
Go to Email Settings icon on your device
Login using using the user name and password (if already set by you)
Under Services click on Email Account
Click on Add An Email Account to integrate any POP or IMAP enable email (i.e.. gamil, hotmial, ISP mail etc)
To create BlackBerry.net ID click on Create A BlackBerry Email Address
Type your preferred User Name and enter your Password for that ID
After every successful email integration you'll receive an confirmation email from Activation Server.

Is it possible to send mail with out giving password in javamail api?

hi every one,
i wrote a program to send a mail by using Java mail. In that i was providing username and password. its working fine,now because of some security issues i dont want to provide password in the application. is it possible in javamail to send a mail with giving the password?
please help on this...
thank you.

JavaMail can certainly operate without a password, but the question is whether your server
will let you send mail without a password. Chances are it won't.

Sending mail pooping out

I get the following error message when trying to send mail:
The server response was: http://njabl.org/dynablock.html.
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
This message appears regardless of who I send to or what outgoing server I use. Please Help!!

Contact your ISP about the problem. This would likely be a problem at their end unless you are using that site to block or report spam in which case you should visit the URL and read the posted message.

Problem sending mail when out of town.

So, I check in to the hotel w/ wifi and I receive mail but cannot send it. "Cannot send message using selected server" referring to my regular mail server. Gmail doesn't work nor does .mac even changing the port to 587.
Are there any magic numbers I need to configure to accomodate this or is it just too bad.
Thank you

Do you have the authentication information filled in for the mail account? Open Mail preferences, click on Accounts icon in toolbar, click on Account Information tab. Click on the Server Settings button. Select Password authentication from the Authentication drop down menu. Fill in your email username and password.
Some mail servers will not permit you to use them for sending mail when logged into another ISP account without authentication. Also be sure you are using the proper server for the mail account you are accessing, especially if you have multiple accounts and mail servers configured.

Mail timing out when checking multiple POP accounts

I recently changed web hosting company. I set up four email accounts but when checking I get timeouts. If I reduce accounts to one or two then no timeouts. This didn't happen with the previous hosting co. The new Hosting techies say it's a known problem with OSX Mail and suggested I switch to Eudora (which I like but haven't used for years and don't want to start again). I've STF but can't find any special answers. Question is whether it's a Mail problem or at the Web Host incoming mail server. If it's a Mail problem is there a way to adjust timing, similar to Euroda's advanced options?

Some service providers don't allow multiple simultaneous connections from the same IP address. If that's the problem, it could be considered Mail's fault only in the sense that Mail does not allow the user to set a limit on the number of accounts that should be checked simultaneously.

Problem with OS X Mail timing out

Hi,
I'm frequently on the move with my awesome MacBook Pro.
In OS X Mail I have SEVERAL mail accounts configured... Like 12.
Sometimes, I have to connect to the Internet with crappy connection.
When this happens, since mails check all the email accounts at once, a lot of them fail.
When I hit the check mail button, it does the same....
So I have to manually resolve them everytime and it *****.
I was wondering if there was an easy fix to this, such as
A) Having Mail check one server at time
B) Being able to tell Mail to check all servers that timeout (that are not connected to use Mail's terminology)
C) Being able to change the timeout delay used by Mail.
THANKS !!!

Sending Mail from Different Hot Spots/Internet Connections

I'm trying to set up my Mac Mail to be able to send emails out from Mac Mail when I am using random Air Port connections, like at Starbucks Hot Spots and other Internet connections. I use POP3 to bring in my Yahoo Mail, but when I want to send mail back out at say a Starbucks, it doesn't work. I'm not sure how to set up my Mac Mail Preferences to enable that. Can anyone tell me how to do so? Someone set up my computer to do so in the past, but my hard drive died and I can't figure out how to do the Preferences to make it happen again.
Thanks so much for any feedback.

Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. "I can't send email" or "I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out". You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you. Something that usually works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25.
You may also need to go to System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. If this is different depending on your physical location, you can set up different "locations" in System Preferences > Network, to make it easier switching between network settings.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''.
