Send mail via WLAN not possible

Whenever I try to send mails while being connected via WLAN, Apple Mail tells me that it cannot connect to the relevant smtp server opening a window to choose another one.
This is NOT happening when I am connected to the web to the SAME NETWORK or any other network but just via cable.
When I try to send mails while being connected to the web using my Vodafone UMTS card the same happens.
I always use the same mail accounts and settings thererof.
Receiving mails is no problem, browsing the web no problem.
Any idea

Most if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 which is the most common and default port used for all SMTP servers.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac and AOL SMTP servers) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
This is entirely left up to an controlled by the ISP used for connecting to the internet at the time.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed settings.
Test if this resolves the problem which it should since you are able to send messages with your AOL account and authenticated SMTP server which also used Port 587 for the Server Port.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your AOL account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below to confirm the AOL authenticated SMTP server is using 587 for the Server Port.

Send mails via Lotus Notes using VFP

Hi all,
I have an VFP application which is allowing send emails from Lotus Notes. Currently it sends mails from the default account in Lotus notes. But now there is a requirement as follows.
An email address can be defined from our application. Say
[email protected] Lotus notes has been configured with two mail accounts such as
[email protected] and [email protected] and the default email is
[email protected] Now we have to send emails from our application with
[email protected] email address. Not the default email address.
To do this we have to read all email accounts configured in Lotus Notes using VFP. And look for the email address
[email protected] and mail should be sent with that account. Can anybody guide me how to do this using VFP? Thanks.
Best Regards,

This is actually a Notes question. You need to find out whether the Notes automation server provides what you need and how to do it.

When trying to send mail via Lotus Notes webmail, mail does not get send

Firefox 4.01, XUL-manager installed.
Logged in to corporate webmail, can see mails etc. I can create a mail (new, reply, etc.) but when I hit the send button, I get a popup asking if a copy needs to be archived. no matter if I say yes or no, the mail does not get send. Also saving as draft does not work.

Hi,
yes smtp is a standard and I think you could use this with almost every smtp server.
If your smtp server doesn't require authentication you can access it without an authenticator
I think...
Best regards,

Surname not recognized when sending mail via FM

Hi SDN,
I am on WAS 6.20. SRM System.
I have a BSP, which sends mail via FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
when putting a normal dialog user in the ICF Service of the BSP I get a mail in my email client, which shows as sender the forename, surname of the corresponding SU01 SAP User. When putting service user in the ICF service the sender, which shows up in my email-client is always 'www' even though I changed fore- and surname of this service user. Why is that?
regards, matthias

I am with you. I think they still have a dud server in their farm and when you get it you get the error message. How to get to level two support is the trick I think.

App tries to send mail via Thunderbird, "PostMail error# 2" is shown. All my collegues with the same installation do not have this problem. Thanks for your time

When a external application tries to send an email via Thunderbird i get an error message, roughly translated it says: "Something went wrong with PostMail, error number 2"
My collegues have the same setup, they have no problem what so ever when sending mail via this way. Any tips would be most welcome. Thanks for your time.

It is possible to send mail via a Javascript. If so can anyone support me with the code to do so.

you use the Windro$$ scripting host, and use an ActiveXObject to access the Outlook (not express) poroperties.

Out of office message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP

Hi,
Is it possible to have an 'out of office' message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP?
I'm sending account statements by mail via a modified version of function FI_OPT_ARCHIVE_CORRESPONDENCE. The SAP username is send as a parameter, and later converted to the e-mail saved in the user profile. This works, - but I would like to have an out of office reply if the user I send to is out of office.
Hope someone can help...
Regards,
Lene

As Thomas pointed out, you can use regular SMTP mail to send the contents to Lotus Notes. You can use the function module SO_OBJECT_SEND or any of the SAP Office function modules to do this.
Only thing to remember is that the SMTP may have been disabled by your basis team due to security risks involved. An alternative could be a lotus notes connector available from IBM.

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.
Thanks,

3GS 3.0.1 - Cannot send mail, You did not specify any recipient

Whenever I send a message from iPhone with MobileMe account and then resync the account with server (Push is off), the very same message, already sent with success, appears in Outgoing folder and error pops up saying:
*Cannot send mail, You did not specify any recipient*
See the picture below:
http://gitarzysta.com/iphone/error1.jpg
It cannot be deleted, either - error message pops up saying: *Unable to move message*
http://gitarzysta.com/iphone/error2.jpg
Important: it was sent and received successfully. It is just either iPhone, MobileMe or both that have problems to sync correctly.
On my Mac that I sync with this MobileMe account all is fine.
What can be wrong? There was an old topic here, from 2008, where several users of 3G had exactly the same issue, but no root cause or solution was provided.
Thanks!

Try deleting and manually recreating the account on your iPhone.
If you transferred the account settings from your Mac via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect this for your iPhone sync preferences followed by selecting Apply before doing so.

Sending mail via forms no longer working

Recently, on one of our servers (XServe G4 - 10.3.9) was running both web and mail. Mail was moved off of the server 2 days ago onto a newer server (10.4.7)
The web server has: php4.3.11 and is ONLY running AFP/OD/Web
Since the transfer of the mail server to the new machine, all web sites can no longer send mail via their scripts (either by sendmail, php's mail(), or by connecting to SMTP server via php).
The web logs do not show errors when it attempts to send the mail...
A look at mail.log shows
"relay=cyrus, delay=2558, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Connection refused_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_)
As far as I'm aware, the web server/sendmail shouldn't be attempting to use cyrus at all. For the record, Cyrus master is not running.
All users can access the mail server without any difficulty. DNS entries have been checked and double checked.
Does anyone know why sendmail and php mail functions stopped working? I really need to get these web forms functioning again. Is the problem with apache, php, sendmail or something else?

Hi Camelot,
Thanks for the quick reply and useful suggestion. I did as you mentioned and fired up the mail server.
The mail "delivered" however, I notice a couple issues in the logs (mail.log)
issue #1: I have to start cyrus master manually via > sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/master SA and command line start/stop of mail does not start master. Also, when starting master from command line as mentioned, terminal hangs.
issue #2 (from mail.log) - still getting the same lmtpd error (but messages do finally get delivered):
Jan 14 03:58:24 www postfix/pipe[2914]: 3503858502D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=cyrus, delay=5327, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Connection refused_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmptd_ )
Jan 14 03:59:39 www postfix/cleanup[2906]: B60AE58572B: to=<[email protected]>, relay 123.123.123.123[123.123.123.123], delay=0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 9FBF41BCBCA)
Do you think these are "issues" to contend with or are they "normal" occurances?

Cant Send Mail via DSL

Im Apple Mail using iMac G4 and G4 tower. Both will recieve an send mail find via dial-up but will not send mail via dsl connection.
We get our mail via ethernet > router > antenna > atenna > another router > antenna > ten miles away at another antenna then to dsl source.
So our dsl connection/signal is going threw three other antennas and at least one router here in office before we get it.
My ISP provider says we need to talk to our DSl provider.
Any ideas? Our computer tech is out of office touch for a week.
Ran

Thanks but this doesn't answer my question.
Allan, I am 99% percent sure that my ISP is not the same ones who supply our ethernet/broadband/DSL.
Is your internet service provider (ISP) for your
dial-up connection different from the ISP for the DSL
connection?
Yes, I believe that they are differrent, however, I have new info.
At first my G4 tower with Earthlink account would not send out over etherner/broadband/DSl, but now it does! I, nor anyone else, has made any changes to the outgoing address that works for dial-up connection and is what we have always used until yesterday when we first tried the dsl/braoband
Kind of a different situation and not typical or the
norm to have a company that provides a DSL connection
not be the internet service provider for the
connection.
Someone new came into our building for office space. He had the router, ethernet cables and antenna installed. He/we get electro-magnetic radiational signal from a larger business across the street who has a tower --soon to be a taller tower-- and they get there radiational signal from 10 miles away.
Knowing who your ISP is for connecting to the
internet regardless if using a dial-up connection or
a DSL connection (DSL is considered a broadband) is
important and if the email account and SMTP server
being used is provided by the ISP being used for your
internet connection or by a different email account
provider not associated with the ISP used for
connecting to the internet.
Yes, I understand that is the case. Maybe I'm wrong and by some coincidence the DSL provider is Earthlink and that is why the G$ tower account began working for the outoging mail.
Im still having the sam problem on the G4 iMac which is a local.com account they have told us the same as you have, that we need to know who the DSL provider is and what info they require in the outgoing( smtp ) line.
You mentioned Earthlink which is an internet service
provider that offers dial-up access and/or DSL access
so does the Earthlink protocol you mentioned mean you
are having problems sending with an Earthlink email
account and SMTP server?
Earthlink account is working now so again perhaps the DSL provider is coming through Earthlink and ergo we didnt need to make changes to the outgoing( smtp ) info line.
Thats the only way that one can be explained.
I take it you use the dial-up connection at home
(which is provided by Earthlink?) and the DSL
connection is used at the office?
Thats correct. The inital DSl source for the business that is 10 miles away, must use Earthlink. I'm now presuming this is the case with this new info.
However, there is another --3rd-- business on other side of street and he uses --Apple mac just like me-- and his ISP is "host centric". I looked at his mac preference accounts outgoing ( smtp ) line and his is
"mail.the business name.com:his email address",
i.e. he does not use Earthlink but he has no problem sending out mail via the same DSl/broadband connections we have
The only reason he has his address in the outgoing mail liine is bceause he too is in larger business building with several differrent computers and email address's.
I've tried all kinds of combinations that are similar to the Earthlink outgoing and the hostcentric outgoing
but none work for the local.com account.
The exact error message provided when trying to send
messages is also pertinent information.
"message delivery failed" "the attempt to read data from the server 'server-name' failed"
Then it gives me option to try differrent server names.
Thanks for your efforts Allan and ohters.

Can't send mail via mail

Greetings O Wise Ones,
The smtp setting are correct. I can receive mail. The mail app was working fine one minute and the next I couldn't send mail. Tried a new smtp and it didn't work either, Created a new login user and new mail. The smtp work with the new user but not with the old one. Any ideas that don't delete the com.apple.mail.plist? If that's the only way. How do I save my mail boxes?

This is happening to my wife's Leopard 10.5.8 upgraded machine right now.
We've been using Apple Mail for years and it works, but suddenly stopped working
and refuses to send mail via any SMTP server at all. It just spins forever and eventually
complains it can't.
The account is configured to send via comcast (smtp.comcast.net), DSL (smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com), and gmail, as choices. Two of them require authentication, Comcast doesn't require authentication, only that the e-mail be sent via the Comcast cable router, which it is.
I've tried removing the SMTP accounts and carefully re-adding, removing the Gmail IMAP mail account itself in Apple Mail and re-adding, and even moving aside the /Users/<user/Library/Mail folder so it can be re-added. I've even used the sqlite3 index vacuum command.
On my own Mac Pro, 10.5.8, I'm able to send e-mail, but on the notebook mail is wedged up for good and it seems to be associated with the upgrade. I am now re-installing 10.5.8 from the 'combined' download, and I'll see if it fixes it. What a hassle.

Sending Mail via BSP

hi all,

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

If you still have this concern: You can only use the alias address linked to the main iCloud account that you backup your iPad to. You can check that going to Setting-iCloud and check the Account email address.
I think this restriction is rather rediculous. I don't see why we can't configure an alias from a different iCloud account the same way we do for a Gmail account. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS 6.
