Smtp on mac mail???

does any one know how to create an smtp server on tiger.
Their was one (WitiSMTP) but it is not possible to download it anymore.
Thanks
Yves

Yves,
MacOS X already comes with an SMTP server bult in (postfix) - you should probably take a look at Postfix Enabler for an easy way to set it up to work correctly.
However, I seriously doubt that this will solve your problem - if your ISP is limiting the number of recipients per message, they probably also block all traffic on port 25 other than to their own SMTP server...

  • Problems with authenticated smtp on Mac mail 2

    I do support for a small ISP and we are seeing problems with Mac Mail authenticating to the smtp server. The settings that should work are:
    outgoing server: asmtp.gorge.net
    Username: full email address
    Outgoing server port: 2525 or 587
    We typically turn on password for the authentication type. In some customers, nothing seems to work. They get an error that their email address can't authenticate. Any ideas on what settings might work for this?

    Teri,
    Reading the guidance for Outlook Express, I note:
    "Step 11. On the Servers tab under Outgoing Mail Server, check the box titled My server requires authentication. Then go to the Advanced tab. Below select the option use same settings as incoming server. (emphasis added)"
    In Mail, this is normally the same as specifying authentication of None, and not entering the Username or Password again for the Outgoing Server. This type of authentication, does not result in appending the Username entry (Username corresponds to Account Name in Outlook Express). Mail will authenticate to the SMTP with the Username and Password used for the Incoming, if prompted by the server, and the separate, hard, (and redundant) authentication resulting from using Password in the Outgoing Server entry boxes will cause a failure. However, this type of authentication (which is often called SMTP after POP3, or POP3 before SMTP) is normally conducted on Port 25. In my experience, the use of Port 587 is meant for those SMTP that must have a separate authentication, and where you will see the name altered to include the Username. Hopefully this will work with Port 2525, but I have not confirmed. SMTP after POP3 authentication does not help sending from remote providers, such as found in internet cafes, and this is why some ISPs provide a SMTP that does require separate, Password Authentication.
    In the new Mail Setup Assistant, there is now the option to specify to use the same settings, but not enter the Username and Password -- this is not obvious, but well known by some ISPs, but not all -- this is really the same as changing to None in an existing account, and removing the Password and Username entries. Also, in Mail, I would NOT expect any default names to appear, unlike what your Mac Mail instructions imply.
    Keep me posted.

  • SMTP on Mac Mail all Stopped Working

    Hi, back already! Well everything was going great until I tried to send an email with mac mail. All my SMTP services are not resolving. One outlook one and two from my own website email.
    Applied a fix that I found on the apple forum but wondered if this was an "approved" fix. I mean it works but is this the best way to deal with it? I changed my DNS server to 208.67.222.222 and they resolved. Is that the best way to deal with this?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Before I changed the DNS server I tried relaunching mac mail, rebooting the computer & restarting the router to get a new IP (I wondered if I'd been allocated an IP address that had previously been used for spam) None of these worked.
    Both the OpenDNS and GoogleDNS both resolved the problem. To clarify it was two email accounts hosted by heart internet (smtp.outitgoes.com) and one outlook.com (smtp.live.com) perhaps these SMTP servers need to be added to a "safelist" within BT systems, I dunno. I've switched to GoogleDNS so I'll just leave it at that, no issues there so that's fine.

  • SMTP POP Mac mail Yosemite Upgrade Issues

    I have used mac mail for years with little or no problem, however, Yosemite is another story.
    The SMTP outgoing mail will not work.
    Often times when I am trying to figure out the problem by input changes into my mail preferences
    the computer does not ask me to save. Thus it all goes back offline. The problem just all of a
    sudden happened with no reason and for a week now, off and on I have been trying to fix this.
    Apple charges money over the phone, have to drive 30 miles to a genius bar or fix it myself.
    Should I try to go backwards to Maverick?  My Yosemite upgrade originated from Snow Leopard.
    I thought Apple was the computer elite. What was wrong with the old email? I'm so frustrated.

    Open Mail app, go to the top panel and select WIndow > Connection Doctor.
    What is the error message (or messages) that the Connection Doctor is reporting?

  • RoadRunner SMTP and Mac Mail problem

    Hello all. I have set up my new iMac, and am attempting to get my RoadRunner email working. The inbound server (POP) works fine. I can receive email without a hitch. However, the outgoing server is not working, and I get an error message saying that I need to double check the password and username. I have verified with RoadRunner that my server addresses, username, and password are all correct. The RR webmail works fine sending/receiving. The issue seems to be with the Mac Mail program. Any ideas on how I can get it going? I am connected to the internet via my Airport Express wireless network if that matters. (And a RR Cable Modem.) Thank you for any help!

    Road Runner SMTP mail is surprisingly difficult to get working with Apple Mail, even if you have all the values exactly correct. I had this issue at a client last week, and these are the instructions I followed to get it working. See the second post in the thread - it does have some confusing steps, so read the following posts too, which clarify them. Basically you're going to set up the account again, manually, but with no SMTP authentication.

  • Outgoing SMTP for Mac Mail Authentication (none or password)?

    i have had to set up a test account due to some corruption issues and i have a new temporary password for iCloud.
    and i am in the outgoing SMTP > ADVANCED section of mail.
    does anyone know if i set up a SMTP server for Mac Mail as having an authentication set to "none" or set to "password" and whether this password should be my new temp pass?

    If your ISP requires POP before SMTP authentication which requires checking the account's incoming mail server for new mail before being able to send with the account's SMTP server (checking the account for new mail should be required once per session only), then authentication for the SMTP server should be set to None.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the account information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Setting button below.
    If Password is selected for SMTP authentication, change it to None and test if this resolves the problem.
    If None is selected and your ISP requires password authentication for their SMTP server, select Password and enter the account's user name and password required for the authentication.

  • Cannot send emails in Mac Mail using third party SMTP via BT Infinity Broadband

    EUREKA!!
    I have a Mac Book Pro and recently had my home broadband upgraded to BT Infinity. Prior to this upgrade sending emails via my Mac mail was working perfectly. Since the new installation I could no send any external emails using the Hotmail.co.uk or 123-Reg.co.uk smtp outgoing servers. Googlemail.com was ok.? very strange.
    So when I connected the same macbook to other wireless connections it would work perfectly.???
    So after many hours wasted messing around, I managed to get the right person at the right time via BT helpline in the UK not India. (India helpine just say "we are not trained in Apple".
    So the very polite man from UK Helpline provided me with the solution.
    GO TO > Apple Icon top left > System Preferences > Network > Wireless >
    Select your wireless connection > Click Advanced lower right on popup
    Select DNS tab
    Click on the + under DNS left pane and type the following :- 208.67.222.222
    Click Apply
    BINGO!!!!
    I hope this helps someone, as I know how painful these types of issues can be.
    Cheers

    Hi Haggie
    Had a similar experience but couldn't work out why macbook was working and imac not. I hate verification with bt. Anyway, tried your method and as you say eureka! Did have imac plugged in before and put it on wifi to try your fix  I will try plugging broadband back in to see if that works and will post back but at the moment just enjoying the moment!
    Just to say a big thank you for not only sorting the problem out but equally importantly posting the answer! Too many people sort out their problems without letting other people know how!
    Many thanks

  • I cannot send mail from 1 of my iCloud accounts using mac mail- smtp problem

    Slightly strange problem today with smtp server.  For some reason timing out on po4 on one of my accounts.  Another account uses po2 and is working fine.  If I log in to icloud I can send messages so problem appears to be in configuration of mac mail.  I have not changed anything, I can receive mail.  When trying to change smtp I cannot edit the smtp box or if i do it reverts to what it was previously.  Any suggestions ?

    Whoops have jus seen this thread which looks like it is a more widespread problem than just me

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • VALUABLE HINT: How to send .Mac mail when SMTP is blocked

    See: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060113084246213
    Read ALL the comments...the info buried in them explains using SSL and ports and how to protect your .Mac account whether POP or IMAP.
    Help keep your dotmac password from being compromised.
    If you run your .Mac Mail through the Mail app, use the alternate port for the smtp server: 587 and click SSL.
    Go into Prefs and Advanced tab and click SSL to use the IMAP secure port: 993.
    READ THE HINT AND ALL COMMENTS. You will be glad you did.

    When I run the "ALL USERS" report, I select the 'Email Report' and filled the mail address. But after running the report , I can't receive email and no error messages displayed.
    Could you tell me how to do I can debug or trace the messages if the IDM sent or not sent mail , if it connects to mail server ?
    Thanks.

  • Mac mail: Use SSL on SMTP Server turning on

    I recently received and set up a new macbook pro (OSX 10.8.3) and I use it in both a wireless and wired network state.
    I set up some POP accounts in my mac mail, and everything works great.  But it seems that whenever I switch between networks, the "Use SSL" checkbox in my SMTP account for the mail magically turns on (I say "seems" because it could be some other factor such as actually changing to a completely different network location).  At this point I can send out no new mails.  I tracked this down fairly quickly, and annoying as it is, it *appears* at first glance to have a simple solution, go in and uncheck the box every time.  However, the frustrating thing is, as soon as this occurs, I can't get the unchecked box to save. I'll go in, uncheck it, close it down, mail still won't send, and when I go back in I find it's still happily checked as "Use SSL".
    The only way I've found to solve this problem so far is to delete the SMTP account, and then create a brand new one with the option unchecked.  But having to do this every time I switch networks is ridiculous!
    Does anyone have any thoughts as to what's going on or how I can *permanently* resolve this issue rather than resetting up my SMTP account over and over.

    This seems to be a bug in 10.8.3. I submitted a bugreport and Apple replied this was a 'known bug'. Hope they fix it rather soon.

  • HT1277 Mac Mail receiving but not sending. smtp not working

    I have been using Mac Mail with my Gmail account without any trouble for the last few years and just for the last 2-3 weeks I cannot send any e-mails. I am receiving without any problems, but no matter what I do it won't send, not even an e-mail to myself. My Calendar is set up to send my notifications and those won't even go. I have verified my settings (time and time again), I deleted and reset-up my account, in the last two weeks I have done everything I can, but can't figure it out so I am getting kind of desperate. I am sure that it is something to do with smtp but all of my settings for that are right too (in accordance to the Gmail and Apple sites). What I have done is just read and responded to my e-mails (when I do it offline) and then I have to log into my gmail account and copy/paste ALL of my e-mails manually, which I am sure you can imagine is extremely inefficient. Thank you to anyone who can help!
    Running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Mail 4.5 and accessing Gmail

    Here is a screen shot too, not that it says much, but this is what I always get, no matter the settings (since they are all correct! OH! I guess I should also mention that I currently live in Africa and that I am using my Blackberry Bold as a modem to get internet on my computer, but I have been doing that since last year and never had a problem until now.
    Also, I did just very recently (as in a couple weeks ago), insert a new modem to my computer to try a second method of getting the internet on my computer other than my phone, and it didn't really work so I am back to just the phone again... would that simple installation have anything to do with Mail not sending e-mail? I can't imagine that it would, But I have seen stranger things.

  • Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

    sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

    Is there a way to add this automatically?
    For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
    To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".

  • Using two gmail accounts in Mac Mail client, smtp server issue

    I've set up two gmail accounts (one personal, one from my job) in Mac Mail. The personal account is set up via POP, the job account is IMAP. I receive mail into each account with no problem. However Mac Mail won't allow me to set up two separate smtp.gmail.com servers (one for each account). If I edit my SMTP server list and try to change either account individually, it changes BOTH accounts. So I can receive with no problem, but can only send mail from both accounts from ONE account (which ever one I've programed). Is there a way to set up two SMTP severs through gmail (one for each account)?

    I have two separate ones set for password authentication to two different accounts.
    In your smtp server list, how many are listed? If only one, click the add button and set it up for the other account.
