Smtp relaying error - all of a sudden

In the last week or so, Apple Mail.app has started throwing a "relaying denied" message for mail outbound through smtp-server.nyc.rr.com.
I am not in fact relaying -- this is the smtp server specified (no password) for my own ISP. And nothing about my Mail settings has changed since this began happening. However, and this may be a hint, I think Mail.app may have been updated by an Apple security update during this period.
Oddly, choosing "try later" (which saves it to the outbox) and then opening it again and sending it again *always succeeds.* This is an error that's thrown only the first time "send" is hit.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

It might be an authentication issue. Some SMTP servers will only accept mail if there has been an authenticated POP connection from your IP address within the last 15-20 minutes. Maybe they have changed their timeout.

Printer Paused Errors all of the sudden

I network to a printer both at home and at work and have had no problems whatsoever until today -- and now I have problems with both. The method of connecting is completely different: at work I connect to the network via an ethernet cable, as does the printer (i.e. it is a true network printer). At home, the printer is connected to an old eMac which shares its connection over the WiFi network. Oh yes, two utterly different printers - A Dell 5200 at work and an old Epson Stylus CX3200 at home.
My problem is that the printer immediately pauses when a print job is set. If I restart the printer and the job, I get a client-error-not-possible message. I try again and I get an error message from CUPS: usr/libexec/cups/backend/mdns failed
I have reset the printing system multiple times and tried to add the (home) printer again (via bonjour) but get the same error results. I will try tomorrow at work but am expecting the same frustrations.
My wife can still print fine at home from her old iBook on 10.4.11 over the network.
Why would I have problems all of the sudden like this? The only thing I changed is, like an obedient little monkey, I installed the newest Security Update that Software Update told me to install. Could this have screwed something up? Any help would be much appreciated, this is very frustrating.

Well, I've figured out a provisional work around, at least at home (will try the office printer in a bit). If, instead of connecting via bonjour as I did until yesterday, I connect via Line Printer Daemon and type in the afp of the desktop to which the printer is connected, it does work. But I have to choose "Generic Postscript Printer" under driver -- I am guessing that this is because the Power PPC (running 10.4) to which the printer is connected does not recognize the Gutenprint driver for the Stylus CX3200 which would be the natural choice from my MacBook. (If I select this driver and print, my computer thinks the printing has been successful, but nothing actually prints.)
By contrast, on Bonjour, it automatically selects the older, PPC driver that is already installed on the desktop computer connected to the printer. But this driver is apparently not an option from my MacBook using 10.5.6 when using LPD.
At any rate, this seems to work for now, but I still suspect that the Software Updates I installed yesterday screwed up the way in which my computer communicates with other devices on a local network: I have also had intermittent "connection failures" when I try to connect to a shared device via its icon on the sidebar in Finder.
I would still be very grateful for any thoughts on why I was getting the "Printer Paused" error (and, of course, I still don't know for certain that I'm going to be able to figure out a similar work around for my office network printer).

SMTP Relaying Error Must Issue STARTTLS

All:
I'm using OS X server 10.6 and have configured mail services to relay mail thru my gmail account using my gmail account with authentication. But when I send mail I get a 'must issue STARTTLS command' from the gmail server. I set mail services to use SSL and use authentication.
Anyone had this problem or is relaying thru an ISP ? If so, how did you set things up ?
Dennis

I set the +smtptls_securitylevel = may+
I am now getting a failure in the log:

Is there a way to set the port to:

I do not see it in the file /etc/postfix/main.cf nor in the GUI.
Edit: I added the port at the end:

VPN error "all devices connected" suddenly appears on Windows 7 x64

I have been having VPN issue on one Windows 7 x64 Dell Latitude laptop in the past couple of weeks. The symptom was that the VPN would connect fine and work for a few hours. Then the connection would become unusable even though status of the
VPN connection would shown as connected. No connection could be made to machines on the VPN and the VPN connection could not be disconnected. Restarting the computer would usually resolve the issue. This morning however VPN stopped working completely.
I got the error 619 with the message "all devices connected". Rebooting the machine did not help and neither did deleting and recreating the VPN connection.
Even more strangely every operation related to VPN has become extremely slow. When connection attempt is made, it takes a while for the Connect VPN Connection dialogue window to show up and the connection attempt itself takes minutes before the error
message shows up. It also takes a long time just to bring up the property dialogue of the VPN connection and switching between tabs takes a few seconds as well.
The VPN connection is set up using all default values and other machines no the network do not have this problem. As far as I know except for the routine windows update no network related changes or software installation was done to this box before or during
the time that the problem started to surface.
I created a second user account on this machine and was able to get a new VPN connection to work briefly. However after logging off/on the same problem occurred for the 2nd user as well.
Has anybody experienced similar issues? TIA!

Hi,
Have you tried any other method to resolve this problem, such upgrade or reinstall NIC driver?
Firewalls and antivirus programs may be running that block access to the VPN ports. Please temporarily disable these to troubleshoot.
If problem persists, please also perform the suggestions from the link below:

Trying to run an Azure webrole locally using IISExpress, get a 500 error all of a sudden

Software involved: Visual Studio Pro 2013, git, Azure webrole, Azure tools v2.5.0.0 (latest I could see from nuget)
So I have been working on a project lately and everything has been just peachy. After some work I press ctrl+F5 to run the webpage in a browser, of just f5 if I need to debug as well.
But yesterday I added support for Azure storage so that I can handle file uploads, not much, just standard blobs for the moment.
But after I did that nothing works anymore, if I try using ctrl+f5 I get a blank browser page, f5 gives me the following error message:

if I deploy the website to azure (im using ci from a git branch) it works fine there, and if I try to deploy it locally using IIS it also works fine.
I have tried lots of googling but so far to no avail. Lots of promising tips, but nothing seems for work for me.
So I turn to reddit, maybe someone has experienced this and can fix it.

Hi,
Based on your description, you encounter this issue after add support for azure storage, if you comment all the changes, do you still receive this error message? Please check your storage configuration, and make sure set the cloud project as the startup
project.

Smtp relay error SJES 2005Q4

Hi,
In SJES 2005Q4 ....the switching to tcp_auth does not happen ......
I have done the setting as per admin guide.....
============
! tcp_local
tcp_local smtp mx single_sys remotehost inner switchchannel subdirs 20 maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL mayt
lsserver maysaslserver saslswitchchannel tcp_auth missingrecipientpolicy 0

! tcp_auth
tcp_auth smtp mx single_sys mustsaslserver missingrecipientpolicy 4

==========
Now a hosted user ......sends mail from a IP which does not fall in INTERNAL MAPPING IP ....he is sending this mail out .......and is doing authentication....
But the mail.log logs show relaying not allowed ....
550 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed:
On checking the logs further ..I see there is no switching to tcp_auth ..channel ..therefore tcp_local ==> tcp_local is treated as relaying....
WHY DOES'NT the switching to tcp_auth happen ...when a user tries to send mail to non-hosted Domain ...and uses SMTP AUTH...????
This would happen in iMS5.2 without any setting>>>
imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-4.03 (built Sep 22 2005)
libimta.so 6.2-4.03 (built 04:37:42, Sep 22 2005)
SunOS mta 5.9 Generic_118558-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80
Don't have any clues ..here ??
HAS anybody tried the SMTP AUTH...
Thanks

Think you're already getting good response on the other list.
2. About SMTP AUTH - you need to exclusively turn on this capability on
MTA side, file imta.cnf,
include maysaslserver on specific channels such as tcp_intranet,
tcp_local.
Compile the MTA configuration with imsimta cnbuild followed by
imsimta restart
==================================================================
Well,
By default this is enabled on Backend Server ...and I think it is
always enabled by default...
On my MTA the default settings in imta.cnf are already set for SMTP auth
....as per Admin guide
IMTA.CNF
defaults logging notices 1 2 4 7 copywarnpost copysendpost postheadonly
noswitchchannel immnonurgent maxjobs 7 defaulthost domain.com domain.com
Note the default noswitchchannel in the defaults above ....then
! tcp_local
tcp_local smtp mx single_sys remotehost inner switchchannel subdirs 20
maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL maytlsserver maysaslserver saslswitchchannel
tcp_auth missingrecipientpolicy 0
tcp-daemon
Now I have switchchannel , maysaslserver saslswitchchannel tcp_auth ON
THE tcp_local ...which takes the non INTERNAL SMTP connections ...
! tcp_auth
tcp_auth smtp mx single_sys mustsaslserver missingrecipientpolicy 4
tcp_auth-daemon
As there is no switch statement here ...defaults noswitchchannel applies
SO THE DEFAULT imta.cnf supports smtp auth ....but it does not work here
I just tried to replicate the symptoms you see but I am having the
opposite effect.
Out of the box both the backend Messaging Server and the MTA have the
same keywords on the tcp_local channel and on the tcp_intranet
channel.
Here is a test I would suggest you try out.
I forgot to mention that these tests changes should take place only on the MTA.
>>
- Pick a host that you are going to do the telnet tests from and place
its IP address into the INTERNAL_IP mappings table. Place it as the
very first entry in that table and specify a $N so as to ensure that
this IP address is most definitely not considered internal.
Your mapping table should now look like:
INTERNAL_IP
172.16.131.88 $N
$(172.16.131.131/24) $Y
127.0.0.1 $Y
* $N
where 172.16.131.88 is the IP address of the node you telnet from.
In my testing, I get behaviour that is the opposite to what you
report. The MTA will announce the AUTH capabilities and the Message
Store will not do so.
Please test as shown above and see if you are able to get this behaviour.
Also the imta.cnf files are same (except the hostnames) in the backend
messaging server and the frontend MTA ...backend supports SMTP
AUTH...which I have already tested.
Further, I have a similar setup in iMS5.2 ....there everything works as
expected.....
I think there is a BUG in the installation of SJES 2005Q4 ...when we
choose single component MTA ....
One problem which I already solved is that ...the latter installations
(MMP, MTA, MEM etc) reset the MailHost ldap attribute value in the
directory server.

"The host refused the connection" error all of the sudden???

I was working with an iMac G5 2GHz with 1.5GB RAM and OSX.4.6 with iChatAV 3.1.4. I use an AEBS for my network but the iMac is plugged directly into the AEBS. I use Verizon FIOS. My internet connection has been flawless.
After using Drive Genius 1.2 to repair, repair permissions, then rebuild my internal hard drive (booted from external FW HD and ran app from there) I have been getting recurrent and random iChat messages that "the host refused the connection" and tells me to try later. I have an AIM account logged in that was previously working fine. About 1.5 years of iChatting with the account and NEVER received this message. Now I get it several times a day if I try to shut down and restart the program.
Just used Migration Assistant last night to transfer iMac G5 to my new iMac Intel (which is insanely fast, BTW, and I really like that! . I'm continuing to get this message over and over. I can connect one second, disconnect and try again, then get the message of refusal to connect again!?!? I tried deleting the Users>UserName>Library>Prefs>com.apple.ichat.AIM pref but did nothing to help.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hey Ralph,
Have you actually Quit iChat and restared it during
any of this ?
Yes, I have quit ichat and restarted a few times. When it tries to automatically log in, it doesn't. When I use the menu or Apple + L or change my online status to available, it works about 85% of the time.
Have you restarted the computer ?
Yes, I had to when my machine had gone into sleep mode. Wouldn't reconnect to AOL server until i did restart.
So as far as you are aware the Modem is not doing
Port Forwarding to an IP (Hopefully your computer )
on your LAN for the iChat ports ?
I'm not exactly sure of everything you have asked but as I haven't changed any settings on my Modem since it was installed in November, I'm fairly certain it isn't Port Forwarding...BUT I'm not sure what that means. In other words, I haven't changed anything but my own computer and that has just been updates and altering energy saver mode, other working etc. I thought it had to do with the Energy Saving mode because I turned that off temporarily while I was working on something and it's the most recent variable change I can think of. I had no software updates since 5-17 before this weekend and that was a Security Update.
Am I making sense?
I'm beginning to wonder if it's something with the AOL server....

Using CUE as SMTP relay

Hello world...
I hope someone has an answer to this - i have gone through the CUE CLI documentation looking to config it up as an SMTP relay, and this idea does not seem like it will work.
System is UC540 on 8.6.5
I have a PRI with a DID block for the client - they want individual fax numbers for each person. That part is easy enough. They do NOT want to store it in their vociemail box. They just want it sent to their email inbox. They do not want to use the "listen" mode where fax and voice comes in on the same DID because the delay for the customer calling in is too great in their opinion. This is fine. I get it.
However I am having a dickens of a time using the CUE to send the emails based upon the DID to the user mailbox. I am talking about configuring a separate ephone-dn and an account on the CUE for the fax email user. when i go this route, The sending fax machine just hangs and never successfully transmits.
IF, however, I set the "mta send server" to my test-bench smtp relay by IP address, it all works. Fax as email attachment comes through like greased lightning.
I try to do it via the extension and have CUE submit it out, things just hang.
IS THERE A WAY to configure the CUE to act as a simple SMTP relay for all things internal?
This is the config that works for me:
mta send server 192.168.110.25 port 25 <IP addess of my bench smtp server>
mta send server 10.10.10.1 port 25
mta send with-subject both
mta send mail-from hostname LAB-UC540.lab.org
mta send mail-from username $s$
mta receive aliases 10.10.10.2
mta receive maximum-recipients 7
For the MMOIP, I have:
dial-peer voice 3020 pots
translation-profile incoming Lab_Fax_T37_Called_26
service onramp
incoming called-number 4627
direct-inward-dial
port 0/2/0:23
dial-peer voice 1801 mmoip
service fax_on_vfc_onramp_app out-bound
destination-pattern 4627
information-type fax
session target mailto:[email protected]
The above works remarkably well
This (generic CCA config) is broken:
dial-peer voice 3020 pots
translation-profile incoming Lab_Fax_T37_Called_26
service onramp
incoming called-number 4627
direct-inward-dial
port 0/2/0:23
dial-peer voice 1800 mmoip
description ** fax onramp for outbound faxmail to CUE **
service fax_on_vfc_onramp_app out-bound
destination-pattern ^....$
information-type fax
session target mailto:[email protected]
fax receive called-subscriber $d$
fax interface-type fax-mail
mta send server 10.10.10.1 port 25
mta send with-subject both
mta send mail-from hostname 10.10.10.2
mta send mail-from username $s$
mta receive aliases 10.10.10.2
mta receive maximum-recipients 7
Any suggestions? Or do I build a small internal LAN smtp relay server?

Hello,
The CUE is used with the script for t37 - there are two approaches with fax to email.
One is using the CUE and the other is not using CUE just to add the right information.

Hi jodilynnf,
When using Connection Doctor to see what is could be causing the issue, look for the red dots to let you know what is wrong. Then all you have to do is correct that information. You can double click on the section that is giving you issue and it will take you there. Most issues could be just password being entered incorrectly. Take a look at the article below to walk you through troubleshooting issues with Mail.

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.

Hi,
I think you can check your SMTP server with your system administrator firstly. does it work normally?
And if you are using a Windows PC for APEX, you can check you SMTP server in your IIS administration.
From your error info : Unable to relay, you can follow below to have a check, if you are working on MS Window
IIS -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Properties -> Access -> Relay resitrictions -> Relay -> All except the list below.
Hope this helpfull.

Sending email error "Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed" Why all of a sudden???

I have been communicating just fine with a collegue of mine for a few weeks. no issues. Within the last week when I attempt to send him an email I recive the following error message:

Can anyone help as to why this would happen all of a sudden like this? I am not receiving any other errors at all for any of my other email communications.
Thank you

I Google'd the error message and found this interesting thread:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1452845
The error mentioned is caused by the sending computer clock being off.. I see you are getting the error from a Yahoo server, which matches the discussion in the thread. The thread is in relation to using thunderbird as the email client, but I suspect that does not matter. So maybe check the date/time set in your computer and see if it is off?
Other than that, I have no idea...sorry.

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

<Email Edited by Host>

Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened? Did you add a page with a map?
Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable. In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link: Getting rid of problem photo book

My ipod touch is all of a sudden not letting me do anything that requires my password. I can buy apps or anything. I put in my password and it gives me an error and says try again later. It works fine if I am accessing the store thru my computer. Help?

My ipod touch is all of a sudden not letting me do anything that requires using my password. I can't buy anything and I can't check my purchases. Every time I put in my password I get an error message and it says try again later. This has been happening for 4 days now. I can play my existing games just fine. I can access my itunes store through the internet just fine with my password, but just not on my ipod touch. I sent an email to the itunes support store 3 days ago and have not heard back from them. Does anybody have any suggestions on why this is happening all of a sudden after having the ipod for almost 2 years?

Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)
