Server rejected the address

What does it mean when you try to send an outgoing message and you get the "server rejected the address ____" message?? It's odd b/c I tried sending mail to two people, and when I took that other one off the message it went through. This is someone I email regularly, too, so not sure why it would be doing that.
thanks

Was this in the To:, CC:, or BCC: field ?
Have you tried just sending to that one failed one alone?

I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

On the iPhone, when the server rejects the email address and it sits in the outbox, why doesn't it automatically resend when the server is fixed?

Hi Razmee,
Thanks for your response.
The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
Thanks again.

The server rejected the sender's email address.

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's email address. The sender's email address was '[email protected]'.
Subject 'Fw: trade brochure'
Server Error: 530
Server Response: 530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email client (known as SMTP authentication). For advice visit http://www.bt.com/smtp
Server: 'smtp.btinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
this message keeps appearing every time i try to send an email from my account, please could you help me x

Hi,
You need to
check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication"
on the Outgoing Server tab and select the radio button for "Use same settings as my incoming mail server."

POP server reject the password for....

Dear All,
I am trying to set-up the mail client of my macmini runing Lion Server (on the same machine), but I get the message
"POP server reject the password for user "John".

The loggin account name on the server is "John", PW is "1", domain is "exemple.jp"
The mail address is concequently [email protected]
1st: is the POP server PW different from user loggin password?
2nd :is there a place on the mail pop server for user password.
3rd: how does this work??
Thanks for any help.

Sorry I can't be of help, I know of others with this problem. In my case I have two accounts that don't work in Mail whilst the other accounts do. I suspect it may be a bug as I've been looking for a solution for sometime. My current solution is to collect the mail on those accounts with an XP netbook which is probably not very helpful!
I have also tried the Keychain repair and at least for a short while it looked as if it had fixed it.
Any ideas anybody before I go through the hassle of reinstalling everything?

Recurrent Mail error: "The server rejected the password"

I've gotten this error message in various versions of Mac OS X on different Macs.
Occasionally this dialog will pop up in Mail saying:
Enter Password for account _______
The server rejected the password for user [my email].
Enter your password again or cancel
Then at the bottom of the dialog there's a checkbox to "Remember this password in my keychain"
Even though I ALWAYS check that box when entering my password, when that error comes up, the box is always unchecked!!
Does the fact that the box is unchecked mean that Mail thinks the password is NOT stored, and if I fail to enter my password again, it will simply stop trying to access my mail?
Is there a way to tell Mail that, since I have stored the password already in the keychain, just keep trying and don't give me that annoying message?

Pages 5.5.2
As I understand it a .5xx pages file (.pages) is actually a folder and is therefore compressed into a zip file when emailing. Certainly, when you email a .pages file (recent version), it arrives as a .Zip even though you don't compress it. I'm pretty sure this was NOT the case with earlier versions.
The key thing here however, is not so much sending a .pages file or any other.zip file - these can be sent by iCloud quite happily. It is about why iCloud won't receive them. If I send a .pages or .zip file from iCloud to my business email, it arrives without any problem. If I send to my iCloud address I get the message size violation - every time.
And just to re-iterate, I have tried sending Zips and Pages files to several other iCloud accounts and they ALL had the same issue.

"Server rejected the connection"

I have a rather simple problem (Oracle 8.1.5). I have created a DB, given my standard user all the access rights I can think of, I have created a service name in the Net8 Assistant, and I have created a ODBC DSN, but when I start my Access 2000, and choose to link through ODBC, I first get prompted for user name and password, and then I get a "... Server rejected the connection. (#12154) ... Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0) ..." no matter what user name and password I enter.
I am pretty sure I am doing something very simple wrong, but I cannot find anything that can help me in the docs. Any suggestions?
This was sort of the first thing I wanted to make sure worked, that I could create a database and connect to it from ODBC, before I went on...

Yes, the listener is started, I can tnsping it, and the TEST function in the NET8 also says OK.
HOWEVER, I think I just found the problem. I had written the full service name "HDM.SEVENT" in the ODBC dialog box. Just now I tried to write just "HDM", and bingo! But thank you for your help anyway, Justin! It often helps just to talk with someone about a problem. :-)

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

Mail: The POP server rejected the password for user

I am completely unable to use Mail.
I keep getting the "The POP server rejected the password for user" on two of my accounts.
The password has not changed and I have entered it correctly.
The accounts just will not go online.
This started yesterday when an old machine accidentally fired up mail and tried to connect using the same user details. Since then, my MacBook Pro is not able to connect to my mail.
My iPad and my iPhone can. There is no problem at the server or the ISP. I have also run the Keychain repair utility.
Please can you advise how I should fix it? Plist? Define the accounts again?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

Intermittent "The mail server rejected the password" on SBC-Yahoo

I have Mail set to automatically check email every 5 minutes from an SBC-Yahoo DSL line.
*Every day* when I come home, the "Server rejected the password" error dialog is waiting for me. Of course, the password is correct. When I re-enter it, Mail downloads the mail correctly.
This problem seems to occur more often since I switched over from the old prodigy.net to the sbc.yahoo.com servers.
While I sure wished that Mail was not totally boneheaded in handling the occasional failed POP connection attempt, I wonder whether:
1. I am the only one having this problem
2. It's a Yahoo problem
3. Is there a way to fix it?
TIA

I am having the same problem. I have to re-type my password for two POP accounts each time I start MAIL. It doesn't hold the SMTP passwords either.
Once I go into the preferences and re-type them it will connect fine until I restart MAIL and I have to start all over again...I too wonder the same things!

The server "email.uwcsea.edu.sg" rejected the address

I'm having a problem sending email from Mail. It's only an occasional problem and only occurs with certain addresses. When I try to send a message to any of these certain addresses I get the error message in the topic subject above. I've checked the addresses and they are correct, indeed, I even get the message if I'm replying to messages sent to me from these addresses.
The server works perfectly well with all other addresses and I have no problems otherwise.
Can anyone help?

When you use your .Mac account do you change the SMTP server to the .Mac server or are you still using the school's server? Switching accounts in Mail may not change the SMTP server. I would still ask your school's IT people about this. Many enterprise mail servers are configured to watch for certain domains that are thought to be used mainly for spam. Sometimes they end up blocking legitimate addresses. In any event the message you get is generated by the school's servers, not by Mail or OS X.

Messenger Express: How do I add the Directory Server to the address book search tool?

In Messenger Express (ME) how do I add the Directory Server (DS) to the address book
search tool?
<P>
Edit the globals.pl file. Look for a line similar to: <BR>
@dirservers = ('MyCompany::phonebook.foo.com::o=FooCorp.,c=US','Four11 Directory::ldap.four11.com::');
<P>
Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a
string. The string contains three fields, delimited by a double colon (::). The
first field is the name you want to appear in the User Interface (UI). The second is
the hostname of the DS and the third is the Distinguished Name (DN) to use when searching.

You can't add a new contact to specific group and there is no app for this. 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs with security concerns being a primary reason, which such a function would require.

The POP server rejected the password for user

Hi Im new to this forum but need help! I can usually fix most things on my mac but the last 2 weeks mail will not recieve any incoming messages as is just says "The POP server “mailin.macmail.com” rejected the password for user “****”
I have looked at other postings and tried keychain etc but nothing will work. This happens with 2 accounts one from macmail and one from NTL (my ISP) I can send mail fine (no password) and can go on to webmail and get my messeages fine on both accounts.
Does anyone have an answer for this?
Many thanks

Mail Password Issue (server rejecting the password)

Every time i try to get my email i get a message back that says "The MobileMe IMAP server 'mail.me.com' rejected the password for user dswich". Is there a way to reset (or retrieve) my password so that i can get back into my email? Because clearly i don't have the right password......

I have the same issue. Just replaced a hard drive and restored everything. Only thing that did not come with it were the mail info. No big deal, I thought. But when I tried to put in all the password information, it would not accept it. It is the only thing left to do. Email boxes-everything imported back in from my backup hard drive. Just a little frustrated right now.
Ok. Just changed my password according to iCloud requirements. Still no joy. I get email on my iPad and my iPhone, but I cannot seem to get the mail sent to my computer with the new hard drive. So, I am with you. Is there a way to verify the email settings?
