Sending mail from remote location

This is a question I have often had and never felt like dealing with. Very often, when I access the net using a wireless network from a location other than my home, I can receive mail in the mail app, but I can not send. I will get the window asking to change the server. Sometimes, I am able to switch to another smtp server (I have several e-mail addresses and servers that I use) and it will work. Often, it will not work at all.
And, this is an odd part - if it does work, by switching servers, the next message that is set to go will come up with the same message, but the server that I just successfully used will be missing from the list. I will need to restart at that point to get the original list back.
But, again, in most cases, I simply can't send. I don't really want to go into my mail prefs for my accounts and change the smtp at every new location I am in.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan.
I don't really want to go into my mail prefs
for my accounts and change the smtp at every
new location I am in.
Unfortunately, you don't have much choice since this depends on the connected to location.
Most, if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network as part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam eminating from the ISP's domain.
Some wireless networks don't support authenticated SMTP servers. If you are using an authenticated SMTP server for an account, simply changing the authentication to None for the SMTP server will resolve it in this situation.
I haven't used my PB at a Starbucks so I have no experience there but I have connected to wireless networks at various Airports - paid and free connections. With both a paid and free connection, I wasn't required to make any changes and didn't have any problems sending mail but I don't travel as often as I once did so I don't recall if I sent mail with one of my accounts that uses an authenticated SMTP server but I don't believe it would be a problem with a paid connection.
Basically, it depends on the connection and their requirements which you must check.

Check with your email provider for their smtp settings when using a remote Internet connection.

Problem sending mail from different location

I cant send mail when connecting via a different server than my own network provider i.e. when connected wirelessly away from home office. Comes up with message:-
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
The server response was: <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied
You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.
If I change the outgoing smtp setting to the network provider that I am connected to then mail will send.
Can this problem be rectified?
Kind regards

Most, if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 or what is termed "relay access" per the error message.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
If the ntlworld SMTP server is not authenticated (even if authenticated there is no guarantee it will work depending on the restrictions imposed by the ISP used for connecting to the internet other than your own), you can try changing the server port from 25 to 587 but doing so is no guarantee either.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the ntlworld account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If ntlworld has an authenticated SMTP server and it doesn't work on Port 25 when connected to the internet via a different ISP or using Port 587 for the SMTP server doesn't work regardless if the SMTP server that is outside of the ISP's network is authenticated or not, your only other option is using the SMTP server provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
There is no other way to rectify this problem regardless the email client used or platform - OS X or Windows.

Cannot send mail from any mail account

I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2. I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk. I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK. I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it. Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server. However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in. Any ideas please?

With respects to the following:
The bit you'll have most diffulty with is the attachment, because you can't be sure that
the directory path specified is one that the database can read from. You can probably
resolve this by using some java to move the file to a directory which utl_file can see.Another alternative is to specify a location on then database server where all file attachments MUST be copied to and the define and Oracle DIRECTORY (CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY [dir_name] AS '/dir/name/on/files/system';) that references this location. When you attach a file to an email, then you only have to refer to the DIRECTORY for the file location.
Just my 2 cents on the topic. :-)

Geting exception whiel sending mail from OIM

Hi,
Currently we are using Exchange 2010 and our OIM version is 9.1.0. We have written custom code for Exchange provisioning.

Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

Hi guys,
Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mel

it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
Go to your account set up...
and fill in the following details.
SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
then click on advanced sending otions...
click on override default SMTP port... type 587
click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
use same setting as receiving mail server.
try this...

Cannot send mail from my ipad

I cannot send mails from my ipad, I have checked settings with my mail server and they tell me that everything is OK, they don't know what may be causing the problem, any ideas?

TBS2.
There is no way for anyone to know if your problem is identical to the problem reported by maria_diaz. She didn't mention anything about getting the "relaying" message. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Unable to send Mail from POP account

I have an Iphone 4 and have upgraded the IOS from 5-1 to 6.1.3. Since then I have been receiving all my mails but i have been unable to send mails from my POP account. the notification "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The receipient, "xxyyzz @ gmail . com " was rejected by the server" displayed. Please Help. the same thing happens when I configure my POP account on my Son's Iphone4, and there is no problem in receiving and sending mails from my Outlook. Please Help!!!!!
Can i revert back to IOS5.1.1?????

Contact your email provider and get the correct settings to use for the outgoing mail server (SMTP) on a mobile device. If it's email provided by your ISP, they have likely blocked email from outside their network from relaying to prevent spam.

Cannot send mail from .mac account in Entourage

I am a new mac user so my troubleshooting skills are very weak. Until about one week ago, i was able to send mail from both my hotmail account and my .mac account. Now, i get this error (just on my .mac account):
An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.
i read through much of the support articles, but did not find my specific error. can anyone help??

Cannot send mail from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2007

I have an
Exchange 2007server with all roles in the same server (Version:
08.03.0327.001 ) on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have now installed two Exchange 2013 servers both with CAS and MBX roles on Windows 2012 servers
(full patched). There is also a DAG between the new servers. All mail goes through a BorderWare besides the internal mail.
I can send mail from both environments to the Internet. I can also send internal mail from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.But the problem is that I am unable to send from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2007. I've debugged, but not solved the problem and there are
few articles on the Internet.
Any suggestions?

These two sentences are in conflict : "I can also send
internal mail
from Exchange
2007 to
Exchange 2013. But
the problem is
that I am unable
to send from Exchange
2007 to
Exchange 2013. "
Can you describe what is your real problem? Flow from E2007->E2013? Or vice versa?
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Damir

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

Hi Subhash,
I have done the troubleshooting but I didn't find any problem at server side. I will send you mail also with all EXBPA report and as well DC, HC and Mailbox servers' Application Log and System Log.
Below are the questions's answers which was asked by you:
1.     Please check whether you can send email via Outlook.
I am not able to open the MS Outlook. Please check all details in this thread : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
2.     Please run EXBPA to have a health scan.
I have run the EXBPA and didn't see any critical Problem. I have took the screen shot and report. Please have a look in below screen shot link:

3.     Please check application log, whether any error event logged there. They could come from ADAccess related error or etc.
I didn't see any ADAccess event on the server. For this I have left my lab PC open and I will check again.
4.     We find that if mail .que gets corrupt, then this issue will occur, please try to move the affected user to another store and then test the issue.
I am facing this problem with all users (7 users). Anyway I moved one user from one server Mailbox Database (2mbx2010) to Other Server Mailbox Database (mbx2010). After that
a) Rebooted the Workstation
b) Login successfully with same user.
c) Delete the Old MS Outlook Profile
d) Create New profile for same user without any problem.
e) Tried to login in MS Outlook and got the same error. : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
f) Open the OWA successfully for Same user.
g) Tried to send mail but again mail went to Drafts Folder.
5.     I noticed that you test the issue after you close outlook. I recommend you to reboot your pc and then access
mailbox via OWA to test the issue.
I tried you suggested option, but sorry it also couldn't help.
6. You also check your disk space.
     All Servers have Enough Disk Space. Check the EXBPA Report.
7. You may run EXTRA to get log information for further troubleshooting.
Need more time for this.
8. Please save application log, system log as *.evt file, then send them with EXTRA,EXBPA report to [email protected] .
   I have sent it as your mentioned mail address OR, you can get the mentioned log from below link also:

There will be some error log you will be that the system is not able to communicate with DC/DC, MBX or HC at everyday around 3 AM or some time 6 PM Evening also. These error came because I have installed VM on Windows 7 Workstation and after 45 min or one hrs. if I don't work on PC, then pc goes to sleep. so you may ignore these alerts.
I hope my answer will give you some clue and I expect more help from your side.

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.
