Server won't send mail in the queue

Hi,
I have a mail server running on Mac OS X Server 10.4 running at my home on an ADSL connection. I am able to receive mail just fine, but when I try to send mail, it will not leave the outgoing mail queue on the server with the error boiling down to not being able to connect to the recipient's mail server. I am I am using DynDNS to point my domain to my IP address. Is something funky about my DNS? Maybe reverse DNS or anything like that? I've tried a lot of different settings, and I can't seem to get this to work. Thanks!

Ok, so I added the instructions for an authenticated postfix relay to an email server I know that works. The procedure I followed is here: http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/smtpauthmailservers.html
However, I'm still getting the same error...maybe I didn't configure something properly. I found nothing related to SASL in the main.cf file, so I added the settings somewhere in the middle. Here's the error log:

Sorry about that, but I'm new to mail servers and it would be nice to get this working
Thanks for your help!

  • Smtp server won't send mail from the office, works fine at home...

    Ugggg... AOL!!! I can't send my emails from my Mac Mail program using my aol account from the office. This works fine from other connections. I am wireless at work and at home and elsewhere all the time and don't have a problem. I CAN'T send out using smtp.aol.com from the office, using my aol account and passord in the preferences etc. I've worked out of this office in the past and didn't have a problem but haven't been able to send out all week...

    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Many ISP are blocking the use of any third party SMTP, sometimes even when presented on Port 587 (I presume you are using Port 587?) -- could it be that the ISP connecting the office, has changed policy?

  • When using 3G on my ipad2, gmail won't send mail.  The 2 emails i'm trying to send have 3 pictures attached and are stuck in the Outbox-checkd server under settings

    Been trying to send 2 emails from Ipad2 with pictures attached from gmail.  Both emails have been stuck in my Outbox and gmail continually tries to send but i keep getting a nessage that the gmail server can't be found.  Went under settings, checked server and it seems fine.  I don't have Wifi @home or else i'd try switching.  Any ideas of what could be happenin'?

        daviddavidff, we want you to be able to send and receive! If Earthlink has confirmed the outgoing server settings and you can access the email and send without issue from a labtop I would lean away from it being an issue with the account. If you can receive email then we know the device is communicating with the network.
    I would try deleting the any email in the outbox folder http://bit.ly/1g1labk and then attempt to send a new email. Send the email to your own email address so we can verify success. Let us know if you can then send email.

  • Mail + Exchange IMAP Server won't send mail

    Any help would be appreciated!-
    My university just switched over to Exchange 2007 for our mail servers, and since the change occurred, I can receive my mail just fine with the IMAP settings they provided. The problem occurs when I attempt to send mail; the server rejects my password (which I know is correct) and will not send any mail. I've also put below the link that the university has provided for students to set up their mail accounts within. I called IT, and they said that Mail wouldn't work until Apple updated their program, which didn't seem right to me because I'm sure that I would see more people complaining than just me. I am on campus, which would also eliminate the need for using the available VPN client.
    Can any of you see maybe what settings they may have missed mentioning to us loyal mac fans on campus?
    Their guide for connecting mail is located at:

    Thank You for any help you may provide!

    Jimmy,
    Many email providers do not allow emails to be sent on their outgoing servers when the user is outside of their network as an anti-spam protection. This may explain why you were able to send mail from your school account when you were on your school's Wi-Fi connection, but not on your home connection or EDGE. You may want to check with your school's email provider to verify this is the case.
    In the meantime, this article has some good troubleshooting steps and alternatives that you can use so that you will be able to send mail when you are away from your school's Wi-Fi network:

    Hope this helps,

    I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get it to send. I have tried everything, rebooting, ensuring passwords are correct, etc.

    My problem is i don't have an outgoing server spot on my menu.  These are my selections. After getting to the menu that where i enter my password for hotmail, i have the following menu choices:  Email, then server (bay-m.hotmail.com, then domain (empty), then username, then password, thendescription, then Use SSL, then S/MIME
    I don't see or can find an outgoing server choice. My daughter has an ipad2 using Ios4 and she has all the choices that are illustrated on. All the help sites. I only have the ones listed above.

  • An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.1 [P4] Message blocked due to spam content in message

    I have been using Thunderbird for a couple of years. On Friday 10 Apr my home email account stopped sending either new messages or replying to incoming emails. In addition I have Thunderbird get my work email and I can send and receive email just fine. I can also send email from my android phone and via the web.
    The message that has started coming up is the following:
    An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.1 [P4] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.. Please check the message and try again.
    I have tried reinstalling Thunderbird but nothing changed, I tried changing the port from 25 to 587 to 465 but nothing changed. I do not understand what is going on as on Wednesday Apr 8 everything was working just fine.

    I have just tried ringing RCN and they tell me that because I am not using an RCN email as such they can not help but he suggested that it was a filter in Thunderbird but I have not set any filters and can not see if there are any or how to change them. The only way sending my website url right now is to make it not look like a url. Where do I need to look to solve this as I first wrote last week everything was fine.

    Having been on Thunderbird for some years I have suddenly got the following message when trying to send mail.
    An (SMTP) error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: Requested action aborted: This mail account has sent too many messages in a short amount of time. Please try later..
    I have checked the SMTP server settings in tools, account settings and they are as they have always been. Is there something I have missed?

    Sending through web mail is totally irrelevant to using an SMTP server. The message even says it is from the server. Why do you think this is a Thunderbird problem.
    The provider has put in place measures to keep people from spamming other email recipients using thier SMTP server. You have seen the result of those measures.

    Hi there,
    If you have a closer look at message you are receiving it already states the problem. The domain 71-12-190-31.dhcp.leds.al.charter.com is blacklisted by spamhaus.org (is in an RBL).
    Your TB is (my guess) setup to send the message directly to the recipient.
    As a rule of thumb the majority of mail sent from a dynamic dns address (the kind of address you are getting from your ISP) is blacklisted as a precaution against spam abuse due to virus/trojan infected PC's.
    Nothing you can change there. Stop sending the message directly and use your ISP's account instead.

    Occasionally the mail "sends", but it is unpredictable. Tech Support at Qwest (for q.com under Windows Live) does not find a problem at their end.
    More suspiciously, the same account accessed from my Mac does not seem to exhibit this problem. Have reloaded T'bird. Recurred again.

  • An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Relaying not allowed.

    Suddenly I am not able to send any email from my account, from pc or phone.
    It gives error message "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Relaying not allowed. Please check the message recipient --------and try again."
    I have checked account setting and is correct. please help

    This message, which comes from the server, usually means that you are using an smtp server provided for use with one particular account to send messages "from" other accounts. The fact that it also happens with your phone does indicate that it is external to Thunderbird.
    How many different email accounts do you have? How many different providers are involved?

    Somtimes it says it spam also......

    The error message is being generated by your email provider's server. Best to ask them what they do not like about your messages and how to solve the problem.
