Smtp out on yosemite

I need the proper settings for the smtp out using Apple Mail Client version 8.3 on yosemite.  I can receive mail, but can not send mail.  I've tried various configurations, including the ones offered by BC on the "Setup Mac Mail on Yosemite", but they do not work.  It is not my ISP.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi tmfree13,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Yosemite upgrade. If you are still having issues sending emails in Mail since updating to Yosemite, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • IMac late 2009, screen blacks out running Yosemite 10.10.2

    My iMac's screen blacks out for no apparent reason, and the computer is still running normally. But I can't see it.
    I thought temperatures were to blame, resetted fans with Macs fan control to speeds, where everything is nice and cool, the problem persists.
    The screen might black out, for no apparent reason while working, or when idle. Trying to restart manually, it might black out while in the login screen, or even the apple logo. Or it might even restart normally and work for 8 hours. I have been trying to leave login items out, even Macs fan control an iStats, and the problem remains.
    If I clear PRAM while rebooting, I might get a new lease of working life, but not persistently.
    The problem started around two months AFTER I installed yosemite and with no new programs installed at the time.
    Please Help.

  • Pix501: allow all incoming smtp to one host and all smtp out from one host only

    I have a pix501 and I have a mail server. What I would like to do is ensure that smtp traffic from the web only goes to my mail server and that my mail server is the only machine on my local network that can send to the internet on port 25. This is to secure the possibility of bots on my childrens PCs spamming other users. The mail server has been relay secured for selected PCs only.
    To the pix501; I think the following is what I need, but would like somebody to confirm or correct me:
    interface ethernet0 auto
    interface ethernet1 100full
    nameif ethernet0 outside security0
    nameif ethernet1 inside security100
    access-list inbound permit tcp any host x.x.x.x eq smtp
    access-list outbound permit tcp host x.x.x.x ant eq smtp
    access-group inbound in interface outside
    access-group outbound in interface inside
    Most important:
    1. Have I got the access-lists right? Does pix501 support host x.x.x.x (ip of local webserver 192.168.x.x)
    2. Are the access lists the right way around?
    3. Is the access-group setup right?
    4. Is there anything else that needs doing/
    Any help appreciated.
    Note: I am a Cisco newbie and trying to learn,

    Thanks for that information.
    I thought about this some more, after seeing your response, and I was wondering; if I only want to restrict smtp outbound traffic, but allow all other traffic, would the following work, as I dont have to allow each specific port/ip address:
    access-list outbound permit tcp host 192.168.1.3 any eq smtp
    access-list outbound permit tcp host 192.168.1.36 any eq smtp
    access-list outbound deny tcp any any eq smtp
    access-list outbound permit udp any any
    access-list outbound permit tcp any any
    I realise that this would open all sorts of other security risks, but at least trojans/worms will not be able to spam from PCs other than those listed as per the first 2 lines ( which is my major concern at the moment). As I learn more about the traffic on my network I can block more undesirable ports.
    Sorry to be a pain, but this could be useful to other and the more complete the setup, the easier it will be for them.

  • Airport Icon greyed out after Yosemite upgrade

    I just upgraded to Yosemite.
    I use my imac 27" as a wireless router in sharing.
    Since the upgrade, the airport icon is grey and my mac does not share its internet connection (hardwired via ethernet)
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Yes sadly that was going to happen as Apple no longer supports iPhoto, instead there was a new app called Photos bundled with the upgrade to 10.10.3.
    It is the new colourful icon in your dock and Applications folder and launchpad. click on that and it should automatically migrate your iPhoto photos into the new app.
    You could try this first, although I'm not sure this will work as your version of iPhoto was a very old version, 9.4.3 was the most up to date for Lion
    and Yosemite was running version 9.6.1. Go to the App Store and click on the purchases tab and see if it is possible to upgrade
    your iPhoto app. if you can then great, you can use both Photos and iPhoto.

  • Magic Mouse lost after log out on Yosemite

    If I set my Mac Mini (Yosemite 10.10.2) to logout after it goes to sleep for a while, when I wake it up, I cannot use my Magic Mouse to click on the user in order to log in. Instead I have to plug in my usb mouse. Once I log in, the mouse makes up and goes to work.  Any suggestions--other than simply disabling the password protection? That's okay at home, but not in my office.

    You are welcome. Those resets frequently fix odd problems.

  • After a few hours Mail stop accepting SMTP out authentication and Cocoa 512 error

    Hi,
    Running Mail 5.2 on OSX 10.7.4...
    I think since upgrading to 10.7.4 Mail has been having a couple of odd problems.
    After starting it runs for an hour or two then all my mail accounts refuse to send any mail. Connection Doctor says I'm connected to internet OK but no accounts are live.
    The 'choose SMTP server' window comes up, but no alternative servers work.
    Current emails can be saved as draft, though it doesn't appear to be working.
    Sometime a force quite is required.
    Additionally, when deleteing some emails, a Cocoa Error 512 message appears, can't delete this item.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Adam

  • How to set a different smtp in and out on the same server

    Hello,
    I got an xserve on 10.5.6 and the ethernet ports are connected to two differents networks. One is on the local network (192.168.0.5) and the other on a wan. The lan is on ADSL box that is also the router. I would like to receive my email from the adsl box (it work like this actualy - smtp in) but sent the mails from my user with the wan (smtp out). I did'nt find any setting on the admin server graphic interface and Apple confirms that it is not possible without modifing files with the terminal. (they did'nt give the solution:()
    Is anyone can help me to make this configuration work.
    Thanks in advance.

    Short answer: you can't - at least not directly.
    What you're trying to do breaks the fundamental rules of IP routing - specifically you can only have one default route that's used for all non-local traffic. That route will either point out our ADSL link or your second WAN link. You cannot route by port or protocol.
    Your best bet is to use an SMTP relay where you tell your server to relay all outgoing mail through an intermediate server (rather than directly to the destination domain). Then you can setup a static route to that relay over the second WAN link to override the default route.

  • How do I set up multiple SMTPs ?

    Hi
    I have 3 websites all of which have their own email accounts hosted thru godaddy.com.
    I was able to set ONE up using the "smtpout.secureserver.net" but the next one I tried to set up just 'hangs'.
    I'm not sure what the problem is .. except that I think the 2nd email addy that I'm trying to add is attempting to use the same 'smtp out' as the first.
    Does anyone know how I can set up 3 separate email accounts ?

    Do all 3 email accounts have the same incoming mail server and if so, does each account or email address have its own user name or do all 3 email accounts or addresses share the same user name?
    You can set up multiple/separate email accounts with the same provider, same incoming mail server and each account can have the same password as long as each account has its own user name. An additional email address with the same provider with the same incoming mail server can not be set up as a separate account with Mail if the additional email address shares the same user name as an existing or primary email account with the same provider. The latter is called an "alias" email address to the primary. An "alias" email address to a primary email account or address shares the same user name, incoming mail server and password as the primary email account or address.

  • If i install yosemite on my 2014 mbp with windows 8.1 will there be a problem

    hey guys
    i have held out on Yosemite because i have heard that some people with bootcamp already installed that tried to install Yosemite have problems with there bootcamp. all i am asking is if someone like me who has installed windows 8.1 the standard (vanilla) way via bootcamp would have a problem accessing my windows 8.1 partition and or does it get deleted. i am eager to try out Yosemite because of its cool features.
    thank you very much

    Please install Yosemite on a different physical disk and test it out. Do not upgrade to Yosemite if you have Windows on the same physical drive. Also, install Yosemite on an external drive on a different machine if possible.
    Apart from BC, there are also known WiFi issues with Yosemite.

  • Yosemite stuck on boot screen - Possible M4 SSD issue

    I had OS X Mavericks prior to installing OS X 10.10 Yosemite. I downloaded Yosemite through the App Store on to a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13 in.
      Model Name:    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro9,2
      Processor Name:    Intel Core i5
      Processor Speed:    2.5 GHz
      Number of Processors:    1
      Total Number of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB
      L3 Cache:    3 MB
      Memory:    Crucial 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
      Boot ROM Version:    MBP91.00D3.B09
      SMC Version (system):    2.2f44
      Sudden Motion Sensor:
      State:    Enabled
    The download was fairly quick as I upgraded as soon as the update came out. It took about 30 minutes and then locked up before the next 7 minutes to finish the installation. I have FileVault turned on and would enter the password to login to the drive and my user account. The progress bar would get to 50% and then stop. I waited about 30 minutes the first time and 45 minutes the next. After multiple reboots, the same issue would happen.
    I rebooted into OSX recovery system (Option-R during bootup) and was going to reinstall OSX Yosemite. After unlocking the boot drive, entering in my Apple account info, it said it was going to take a few hours to redownload and install. I stopped it 5 minutes into the download and rebooted the Mac using the OSX recovery system exit > reboot method. Luck would have it, I was able to login and complete the install. I updated all the applications to the latest version (outside of the App Store), such as Adobe, Silverlight, etc.., missed this step prior to installed Yosemite. Everything was working fine.
    During normal work, I had a lot of applications open from VMware Fusion, Office for Mac, Firefox, and then when I opened Preview, the Mac crashed with the grey screen of death. When I rebooted by holding down the power button for 10 seconds, it would only let me unlock the drive and was stuck loading up to 50% without ever getting past the progress screen for 30 minutes. I went back to OSX Recovery System and performed the reinstall OSX Yosemite and backed out again as I did before thinking it would let me log in. After rebooting it failed to get past 50%. The next reboot I was able to login.
    I started thinking about the 256GB M4 SSD Firmware and noticed on the http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware it stated upgrading from 040H (what I was on) to 070H would fix the following issues. Granted it stated for Windows and not Mac, after updating the firmware, I have been shutting down and rebooting without issue (crossing fingers).
    The following is a summary of changes between 040H and 070H, which are independent of operating system:
    Resolved a power-up timing issue that could result in a drive hang, resulting in an inability to communicate with the host computer. The hang condition would typically occur during power-up or resume from Sleep or Hibernate. Most often, a new power cycle will clear the condition and allow normal operations to continue. The failure mode has only been observed in factory test. The failure mode is believed to have been contained to the factory. This fix is being implemented for all new builds, for all form factors, as a precautionary measure. The fix may be implemented in the field, as desired, to prevent occurrence of this boot-time failure. To date, no known field returns have been shown to be related to this issue. A failure of this type would typically be recoverable by a system reset.
    I upgraded the current Mac to a Crucial M4 256GB SSD and moved the stock 750GB hard drive to the cd-rom bay. I was able to install the update to 070H using an bootable USB stick and the method from http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-SSDs/Updating-firmware-on-Macs-without-a-sup erdrive/td-p/61259. I did have to disconnect the second drive (just lifted the connector to the motherboard) as it would not allow the Firmware update to start with the drive connected.
    Seeing if this helps anyone else out with Yosemite locking up during a boot. I did not enable TRIM as I read it can hurt the M4 SSD since it has a garbage collection.

    I rebooted my machine and was back to either getting stuck at 50% or just seeing a black screen.

  • Dovecot smtp won't die!

    I have a 2011 Mac mini, 8GB ram, default 10.7.4 server install. Filesharing, OD (replica) and most things work fine.
    Recently i've set my sights on getting non-spammy logs, and as such i've started to try to resolve every repeating log message.
    Today the message is:
    Jun  4 16:22:42 minecraft dovecot[3586]: lda: Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Operation timed out
    Jun  4 16:22:42 minecraft dovecot[3586]: lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.
    (every 30 seconds!)
    Some poking in the config -
    Dovecot SMTP (out/incoming) will not stop, if i stop it it stalls on "shutting down" and after a minute it's running again. All other parts of the server are "stopped".
    As a solution i tried to configure the mail server, set it up as if i would start using it. (So it would make all configs and such) then stop the server.
    Also i cleared the Mail queue and deleted all account data from the maintenance tab (server admin)
    I have deleted the sockets and recreated them.
    None of this worked.
    Any ideas?

    I think i solved it, in part i already did, but i've updated this earlier post - http://meandmymac.net/1470/lion-server-still-broken-mail-this-time/

  • Photo Booth in Yosemite

    Few problems with this photo booth only out of Yosemite:
    It appears to pause the video when not in use, also it appears to be putting my computer to SLEEP, after that.
    Is there any way to disable this new "feature"?
    Is there an alternative to Photo booth that is free?
    This new "feature" is making the app useless for my purposes.

    In case anyone is interested in your screen flash not working in the Yosemite or Maverick photo booth application, I finally called Apple today and he kept insisting it was working on his - I asked him to take a pic with the screen flash enabled and then disable it and he said it came out the same. And rationalized that it was because he was in a well lit room. I kept telling him in my old photo booth from system 10.6.8 that my face was lit up and my husband had reflections from his glasses so we went from him wanting me to reinstall my software (I refused since both computers were having the same problem - one using Yosemite and the other using Maverick)  to him finally going into HIS partitioned disk that has system 10.6.8 on it to discover that the flash there reflected off HIS glasses too. Bottom line is he admitted there has to be some flaw that prevented the photo booth flash from working for Maverick and Yosemite. Whew, finally validation!

  • Using a Twain scanner with Yosemite

    I have a Macbook running 10.6.8, and I am trialling Yosemite by running it off a USB drive, to see if I can use my peripherals, notably a Canon LIDE 70 twain scanner.
    Searching on the web indicates that Yosemite doesn't support Twain (why would Apple do this???), and therefore Canon hasn't produced a driver for an OS later than Lion. But there are several suggested workarounds, which generally involve copying Twainbridge from my existing system and perhaps using SANE. For example:
    Jan Elgil offers a simple installation script for Twainbridge which is supposed to work in Yosemite.
    McManus suggests installing several apps to set up SANE.
    So far, nothing I have done works. After trying everything, my System profiler still shows that the scanner hasn't been configured, and when I go to Printer and Scanner in the System Preferences no scanners appear when I try to add my scanner. The scanner is definitely connected, because when I restart back in Snow leopard off my HD, the scanner works OK.
    I am no expert, so I'm stumped, and would appreciate if anyone has a failsafe method to get Yosemite to recognise my scanner please.
    Failing that, I'd appreciate any understanding of how this works. It seems like I need several things to make the scanner work:
    the scanner to be connected
    Twainbridge
    A Canon LIDE 70 driver
    SANE (is this in addition to Twainbridge or an alternative?)
    Can anyone explain please what of these is required for Yosemite to recognise my scanner, or is something else required?  Thanks.

    Hi Raicya
    Thanks for your interest. I downloaded a trial of version Vuescan, but this didn't help. It gave me this message:
    "No scanner was found attached to your computer.  If you have one, close this tip window, exit VueScan, turn on the scanner and run VueScan again."
    So this confirms that Yosemite is not recognising the scanner, but as soon as I get out of Yosemite and back into Snow Leopard the scanner works.
    So the problem seems definitely to be how to get an OS to recognise a scanner. Or the more general question - what is actually required so that the OS recognises a scanner? Is it the presence of a driver in the right place, or what?

  • After Yosemite install, sound button on MacBook Pro doesn't work-stuck at full volume or Mute. Can't adjust slider in preferences, or use volume button on keyboard.

    Just installed Yosemite on my MacBook Pro 15", Retina display, early 2013 build. After installation, I cannot adjust volume for speakers. It is either completely off (muted) or on a FULL VOLUME. Neither the speaker volume buttons on the keyboard or the Sound Output slider on the Systems Preferences works. The slider does not move from full volume and the speaker buttons do nothing. This is just awful--can't get any sound except at full volume which is ear-splitting.

    Talked to Apple Support. The support person took a bit, but figured out that Yosemite changes the sound output default to the installed HDMI display speakers--and the Mac does not control those speakers. This recurs every time there's a restart. The Solution is to go to System Prefs>Sound and change the OUTPUT device to the Internal Speakers on the Mac. Then sound controls work perfectly. This has to be done every time the system restarts, at least until Apple sends out a fix for this bug.
    If you have an external device attached with speakers, apparently the Mac wants to make that default output device. Note that in my system on the list of output devices, the Internal Speakers are the first in the list...that generally is the "default" output device--but Yosemite doesn't recognize that and makes the HDMI device default output.
    Not perfect, but now that I know the fix, I can live with it until there's a permanent fix from Apple.
