SMTP Password Error????

I send 100's of emails a day with Mail and never have any problems. Today after every few emails I'd get a box popping up saying Mail had the wrong SMTP password. I would type in my password and would then send fine. I went to Preference and the password was set-up properly. This is getting annoying.
Anybody know what might be going on??????

I fixed my bizarre problem of rejected pw's by shortening them to abot 8-10 characters

Send E-mail from Oracle (9.2.0.1) : SMTP transient error: 421 Service not a

I have used Oracle 9i server (9.2.0.1 version) on Windows XP machine(with SP2).I want to send Email from PL/SQL procedure.
My Question is what sort of configuration needed to perform this activity?
I have installed IIS (Internet Information Service)
in my machine, then configure my SMTP mail server
with a valid email id and password given TCP port 465.
Later I came to know that to send Email from PL/SQL I have to install Oracle JServer Code. Follow three steps. the steps are
1. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\javavm\install\initjvm.sql"
2. Execute the loadjava classfile as
$ORACLE_HOME\plsql\jlib>loadjava -f -v -r -u sys/**** plsql.jar
3. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\initplsj.sql"
I sucessfully executed the first step, but for the second step iam not able to locate the plsql.jar file in the specified path.
So Please tell me if there is any other method to perform this task
My code is as follows.

Thank You.

1) Why did you install an SMTP server locally and then tell your code to try to use the server mail.google.com?
2) The error you're getting is from mail.google.com indicating that Google isn't running an open SMTP server there. I would be very surprised if Google were running a publicly available SMTP server anywhere since that would be an invitation for spammers.

SMTP server error message

My scan to email feature has suddenly quit working. When I try to scan a document, the scan feature trys to connect to smtp.aol.com, as it always has. After approximately 5 seconds, I receive the following error message: "Cannot resolve the SMTP server". I tried correcting by following an earlier post dated 3-1-2014, by accessing the printer's Embedded Web Server and performing the below tasks:
Click the Network tab, then click on IP4 config on the left side.
Click on Network Address (IP)
Select Manual.
Type in the printer's information and IP address.
Set the DNS Address Configuration as Manual.
This did not work for me. As stated before, this feature has worked flawlessly for the past year. Not sure what happened.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Brian

Hi brianw8602,
I believe this should be most of the settings you need.
AOL Mail SMTP server address: smtp.aol.com
AOL Mail SMTP user name: Your AOL Mail screen name (what comes before "@aol.com" in your AOL Mail address; if your address is [email protected], for example, the corresponding screen name is "me")
AOL Mail SMTP password: Your AOL Mail password
AOL Mail SMTP port: 587 (alternative: 465)
AOL Mail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes
Delete the Scan to Email settings and run the Setup Wizard again.
You might need to contact AOL to lower the security settings, since it was working and now it isn't.
Hope this helps.
Thank You.

Iphone keeps requesting smtp password

I just set up a replacement phone today. Entred my mail accounts and everyting was fine until a few hours ago: I am repeatedly asked for my password
Error is " Cannot send mail-No password provided for "SMTP:[email protected] lLease go to settings and enter.
I have cleared existing password and re entered and still it will not send. I have deleted the account and still no luck. I am able to receive email as well as send form my mobileme account. Please advise. I am on iphone 4 3G OS 4.3.5

well they create a code lock for the phone for a reason... i think it's ridiculous , especially for those of us with very secure passwords ...
if someone finds your phone... there is a lot of private info in there...

In most companies SMTP servers are set up for intra office mail and only one or few servers allow inter-office mail. You need to find such SMTP server in your company and use it.

Bug? htmldb_util.reset_pw gives ORA-29278: SMTP transient error 451

After changing mailprovider we had some troubles mailing from the database.
After mailing to his SMTP-server we got the error message:
ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 451
We were able to correct our custom code by replacing all the end-of-line LF with calls to
UTL_TCP.CRLF.
However, our Apex-application is still broken. By calling HTMLDB_UTIL.RESET_PW
the system should mail the new pwd to our user.
Should
But it doesn't
In the Mail Log/queue we again get the ORA-29278,
so my deduction is that in the message that RESET_PW assembles a single LF is
used and not the CRLF.
Question: is there a way to overcome this bug?
BTW, the SMTP-server is present. Writing a HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND by hand gives no trouble at all.

CRLF characters are required to separate each SMTP command, per RFC 821 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt), and that is what the APEX_MAIL package does.
But the portion that "you are afraid of" which contains CHR(10) is the message[b] body of the reset password functionality of APEX - there can be any combination of characters in there. It is not a requirement that the body of the message uses CRLF for line endings. So, unfortunately, I don't think the deduction applies here.
Let's start with some basic things. If you change the "SMTP Host Address" in the internal Administration Services of APEX to a known good SMTP host, does the problem go away?
451 means "Requested action aborted: error in processing". That could be anything. It could even be an issue with your provider, your connection to the provider, etc. Does your provider have a log of the incoming "conversation" and a log of the abort? That may be helpful.
Joel
P.S. By the way, which version of Application Express/HTML DB are you using?

How to reset SMTp password?

My mac mini is demanding my SMTP password and rejects the password I use to allow the machine to make routiine internal changes. I cannot send email until this gets resolved.
How can I find or reset my SMTP password?

It could be that there is another error in the setting you entered for that mail account. I would delete the mail account from the Mac Mail app and then reenter all the settings.

File does not exist, SMTP permanent error

Hi All,
I got stuck with this error, please help me on this.
Mine is windows OS, apps 11.5.10.2
I have a cocncurrent program out file (.out) in out directory and also the same file with naming convention 'name_concurrenrequestid_1.EXCEL' extension in the same directoy. I need to send this EXCEL file as attachment to email id in windows environment. Whenver submit the request is giving the error.
File Does Not Exist
Error in Send Mail: ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address.
I verified the file , it is already existed in the directory. Why did it not recognized the file. I tried the below query in toad,, but got the 'FALSE' for %APPLCSF, and got the TRUE for custom directory which has the same file
declare
v_boolean BOOLEAN;
v_Len NUMBER;
v_Block NUMBER;
BEGIN
utl_file.fgetattr('%APPLCSF%\%APPLOUT', 'name_concurrentreuestid_1.EXCEL', v_boolean, v_Len, v_Block);
if v_boolean then
dbms_output.put_line('v_boolean: TRUE');
dbms_output.put_line('L:' || to_char(v_Len));
dbms_output.put_line('B:' || to_char(v_Block));
else
dbms_output.put_line('EX: FALSE');
end if;
END;
I do have full access on this folder. Once it recognizes the file I can send the mail.
Appreciate any help on this. Plz...........
Thanks,
JP

Thank you for the quick reply Srini.
But my email program is working fine if I change the path from %APPLCSF%APPLOUT to Customtop\out directory to identify the file. It was sent the attachment also to my email id.
But my requirement is I need to send the file from Out directory not from customtop out . Even it is not recognized the .out file using this UTL_File.fgetattr() in out directory.
Appreciate any furthur assistance.
Thanks,
JP

All of a sudden I cannot Forward emails in TB 31.1.2 - I get SMTP timeout error

And I've tried everything. Shutdown Emsisoft virus prot., turned off firewall, got into Verizon router (btw, I'm going right into the Verizon router-not thru a switch), no port forwarding, even tried to forward an email in Safe mode in Win 8.1 x64. This just happened. I can Write an email OK (i.e., from scratch), but just forwarding, even a small text message won't forward. I even installed an older version of TB. HELP! HELP!
I either get the SMTP timeout error or I get "check your email and messaging settings." My wife has the exact same setup in TB 31.1.2 but she uses Win 7 x86. -gg

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
'''About automatic updates'''
Automatic updates are the default in Windows.
You can [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-updates?esab=a&s=automatic+updates&r=1&as=s customize such behavior], however, it's under '''Tools > Options > Advanced > Update'''.
My suggestion would be to set it to '''Check for updates, but let me choose wether to install them.''', specially if you depend on email for critical / important business or personal matters.

Could RADIUS be be the responsible? Why RADIUS will send so many attempts to the AD/DCs?
We´re using 802.1X with NPS n the DCs and user have two devices in the same physical port of HP the Switch: the user´s computer AND a Alcatel IP Phone, authenticated by a DOmain
User (service account) using MD5
We do not trace much information right now, but some of the users that are complaining about that, have changed their password recently, therefore, for some reason, the old
password are being re-used?

Hi Kay,
Since user passwords got changed recently, the account lockouts should be caused by stored expired credentials. Credentials can be stored within services, programs, scheduled tasks, scripts, RDP sessions or even mobile phones.
I suggest you try to locate the machine where bad password attempts are generated through event messages, or by using network monitor to capture real-time network traffic. After that, find the source which is sending the bad password, then clear stored credentials
on it.
If the source cannot be located, you may rename those problematic accounts to avoid subsequent lockouts.

I need a little help accessing my mail on my mac and my iphone 4s after changing my password on Yahoo as someone hacked my account. I can't get mail, I just get Password error every time :(

Hi people,
A little stumped for what to do here... I had my Yahoo hacked, changed my yahoo password (Yahoo is the account configured to 'mail' on both my mac and iphone)... however since changing my password I have found I can't access my mail on either with out it asking me to enter my password. When I do, it say's 'Password error'. Sometimes it re-directs me to the actual 'Yahoo' browser saying I need to verify my account, but basically I can't use the mail function on either device now! I know you may suggest deleting the account and re-installing it to each device and I feel this would probably work as well but (and this is the tricky bit)... all my NOTES are configured through Yahoo, only some are through icloud (which is odd). All notes are about 201, icloud about 77 and the rest on Yahoo and when I go to delete the account it says it will also delete all my notes :/ Now, I am a bit of a writer, and these notes are pretty sacred to me so losing them isn't an option. I don't want to lose them. Is there anything any one of you lovely peeps can suggest. It would be much appreciated.

Yes, you have encountered Activation Lock (Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support). The only way that phone will ever be usable is if the owner the phone is locked to releases it (see: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support). If you are lucky the phone is locked to the seller, so you can ask them to unlock it. If the seller is merely a middleman and the previous owner is not the seller it gets much more complicated. It's even possible that you bought a stolen phone, in which case you will never be able to use it and you should return it for a refund.

An error occured while sending mail: SMTP server error. The server responded: (null)

This problem may occur at low-use times when Messaging is installed with the
Trend virus protection software on the same system.
<P>
Change the version of the Trend software from 3.0 to the older 2.62 version.

It's possible that your provider has made a change.
I think STARTTLS usually is used with port 587, instead of the standard SSL port 465.
Could you look up your provider's current SMTP settings to see whether your "Outgoing Server" settings need to be updated? If it's difficult to translate between your provider's help page and Thunderbird's dialog controls, you could provide a link to your provider's help page.

"pdf. protected by a password" error for a few users only

Hi
Lately I have had complaints that some of the users of my website are getting "pdf. protected by a password" errors when trying to open PDF files from our website. The files are created using abdpdf (abcpdf3.dll). For 99% of our userbase there seems to be no problem but for some we are now encountering this error. There is no password required to open the file (although there is an encryption owner password set), and the only other settings we have are that the ability to change, copy and edit are all set to false.
There doesn't seem to be a common denominator in regards to environments that the users encountering the problem are using.
Mac or PC users, Windows XP/7 etc, IE, Firefox, Chrome etc.
Just for clarification, the users are only trying to open the pdf, not edit it.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Thanks
Steve

It appears that this may be an issue with Firefox 25 (it seems I was misinformed about the other browsers).
Info I got from a user:
The error only happens in Firefox Ver 25 I tried ver 24 and it worked OK an it also works on Internet Explorer or saving the link and opening the document with Adobe reader.
System info Windows 8.1
Firefox Ver 25
If this is the case is this the forum that I should be looking for answers on or should I go to Firefox for answers?
Thanks

Using a 3rd party SW to email out and Thunderbird is requiering a SMTP password to be typed

I am using another program that sends email through Thunderbird. When I open thunderbird and send a message directly it will send it fine. When I send a message through the other program it opens Thunderbird and creates the mail but requires me to put in the SMTP password. When I do it sends the mail out fine and will continue to work fine until I close our Thunderbird. I do not have the master password option set so I should not have to put in my password. Any help would be great.
Thanks
