"Sender address rejected by server" but only when out and about!

Hi!
My iPhone 3GS has been working fine with sending and receiving emails both via wifi and when I'm out and about.
Now it won't allow me to send emails while I'm out. Can receive them okay and can access the internet, but when I try to send them I get told that the sender address was rejected by the server.
Yet it still works perfectly fine sending and receiving via wifi when I'm home.
I'm using an smtp address attached to my work, port 587. I know nothing technical but can try to give other details if asked.
Spent a while in the Orange shop and didn't get anywhere, any help I would gladly accept!

Yes! It worked! Haven't left the house yet today but managed to send emails with the wifi turned off, which is better than I have been doing.
I had tried putting my username and password in but not the whole email address, had also tried putting my server log in details into those boxes.
Thank you, it really was driving me mad and you saved me having to tediously go through it all on the phone with someone.

What happens when you go to the web based mail for your email account?
Are you able to login and send / receive messages from the web?
If so, you might need to check outgoing email settings on your iPhone
Settings > Mail, Contacts Calendars
Tap on the account you are having an issue with
Tap on the email address beside the word Account
Tap on info beside SMTP (SMTP = outgoing mail server)
Tap on the SMTP server name again.
Make sure server is turned on
Check settings & port info, password, etc.
Good luck!

Sender address rejected by server smtp.freeserve

I have minimal [Read NO] understanding of how this all works so please bear that in mind.
Recently I have been trying to send emails from the Mail App on the iMac version 10.6.8. (I'm guessing that's snow leopard).
I keep getting the message: sender address rejected by server smtp.freeserve.co.uk.
I do not understand why this is happening.
My accounts and mail are all connected and logged in to the internet/server, there are no mistakes in my
email address or anything so I just don't understand what could possibly be going on.
Please help, I need possible problems (and explanations) and I definitely some possible solutions.
Thank you so much in advance.

You shouldn't post an e-mail address in a public forum.
What does Mail/Window/Connection Doctor Show? If the server is red, select it and look at the Show Details box.

TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

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.

Hi.
I'm new to the blackberry and when i signed up to virgin i was offered unlimited internet an free email.
why is it that ican only send and recieve emails when i'm connected to my wifi at home?
also none of my apps work when i'm out and about.
is this normal?
i would just use my laptop if i was at home so what is the point in that???
thanks for any advice.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your carrier for formal assistance...you are paying for a service that they are not delivering to you...
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Connecting to WiFi when out and about

Hello,
I have had my iPod touch for about 2 weeks and I really like it. At home, I have absolutely no problems connecting to WiFi and all of the applications function.
The problem arises when I am out and about. I live in New York City, so there are tons of open connections available nearly everywhere. However, I have only rarely been able to connect to them. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance for your help.
Leanne

Yes it is sorta a hit and miss even when the connection seems to be open and public it still may be set to Mac Addressing which would mean if your Mac Address isn't listed in that Wireless Router it isn't going to let you join the network.
The best luck I have is to find homes that don't have any security at all as most business's and Cafe hotspots are locked and still require a password.

Connecting wirelessly when out and about

Forgive my ignorance I am very new to all this. If I am out and about with my iBook and come across a place e.g. coffee shop, which has free wireless internet access, do I have to be a paying subscriber of that service in order to get on the net? Would Airport be the way I would connect? Will it ask me a password or something?
Do they have such wireless access at the Apple Store Regent Street and if so which provider do they use?
Thanks

If I am out and about with my iBook and come across a place e.g. coffee shop, which has free wireless internet access, do I have to be a paying subscriber of that service in order to get on the net?
That would depend on the network your joining. For example if your walking down Tottenham Court Road and click on your airport icon you may see half a dozen wifi network available to you.
example
BT click
T-mobile in startbucks
there is wifi in cafe nero
You may pick up private networks.
Any way if you choose from the list t-mobile it lets you join then network but the first tine you open your web browser it redirects you to a page where you have to enter your membership details or use a credit card to purchase 1 hour of internet time.
If you choose a private network from the list you may be prompted to enter a wep key or wpa password.
If however you join an open network you may be able to surf the net without entering a password. You can get fre internet in the cafe above foyles bookshop on charing X road.

The wifi in the apple store is free and is provided by apple I am not sure which ISP they use. It does not really matter. You can sit in there and use the internet.

Error message 'sender address rejected by server' w/MacMail

I receive email ok but all of a sudden I cannot send email or reply to email using Mac Mail. The error message says:
Message could not be delivered and will remain in outbox,
The sender address xxx@xxx was rejected by the server.
What's up Apple server?
Thanks

The security update didn't break any of my email accounts and I access several with Mail that are not provided by my ISP.
Is this email account you were having problems sending messages with provided by your ISP - AT&T or other?
I have a .Mac account and I also access my employer provided POP account with Mail and although I have no problems sending messages with either account and associated SMTP server since both SMTP servers are authenticated and my ISP does not block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by my ISP on Port 25 as long as the SMTP server is authenticated, I use my ISP's SMTP server to send messages with both accounts when connected to my ISP at home.

Sender address rejected by server - Help!!

I have been unable to send mail all morning - I can receive mail, but when I try to reply or send a new message altogether, I get the error message "Sender address [email protected] rejected by server." I searched these forums and tried sending messages through my mail on mac.com, but that didn't work either.
I don't know if this is a widespread apple problem as the boards indicate has happened before, or the result of something i've done. last night, preparing to go on vacation, i attempted to set an "out of office" reply via preferences>rules. I did it wrong and ended up sending my auto reply to every existing message in my inbox (several hundred - some people got dozens of the auto response - very embarrasing as this is my business e-mail!). I deleted the "rule" to stop the process, but i don't know if that has something to do with my new problem. I'm working remotely and need my e-mail - please help!!!!!

I tend to agree with Austin's explanation. One work-around might be to change your SMTP port from 25 to 587.
Another explanation is that by sending out all those mistaken replies yesterday that your are temporarily blocked as a spammer. Most ISPs (including Apple) put limits on the number of outgoing mail messages in a 24 hour period.

HT1277 Sender address rejected by server

I keep getting an error message when trying to send mail. It states: sender address was rejected by server. I have called my email provider and everything is setup properly according to their requirements. Why is this happening? I also have a .me account setup in macmail and am able to send from there no problem.

Is it gMail perchance?

Sender address rejected by server

Setting up my iMac mail, and using the same settings for my mail account as I have been using successfully on my MacBook, but can't get any mail to send. I receive the message that the sender address has been rejected by the server. I have tried deleting and re-entering the account information and outgoing mail server, double checking it against what is working on my MacBook, but no luck! Thanks for any ideas on how to get the mail moving!!

HT1430 Ref; email problem; my iPad says sender address rejected by server, could I have a corrupt email or syntec error, how do I clear it

I am using a SIM card, it's worked really for for 6 weeks, but started to say "Sender address was rejected by the server. I have swopped
SIM cards from my iPhone 4S which works fine with sending from the same email address. I sort of feels like a corrupt of syntax error, I
have rebooted a few times but it's not cleared. I have even deleted and reinstalled my email address etc, but still can't send
Help Carthago

Sometimes it is as simple as checking the outgoing server setting and making sure that your username and password are correct.
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.

Sending email: sender address rejected by server?

Hi People
On an iphone 5s I have email accounts already set up and working fine but am trying to set a new one. It will receive but not send - I am getting message "sender address is rejected by the server". Have checked settings numerous times and have tried changing outgoing server port settings 465 with SSL and 25, 80 and 3535 without as recommended. Spoke to mobile and email provider - both said to try those things again (plus delete account and reinstall which I have done) Getting fed up with it now. Any suggestions much appreciated while I still have hair!
Thanks v much

No you're right..will be a problem with me not the phone! Am using the pop settings not IMAP. Outgoing I am using is smtpout.europe.secureserver.net but I have also tried it without the "europe."
Thank you for your help so far...I have to go out now (boozing time in the UK) but will catch up tomorrow. Cheers for now.
