SMTP Server Sending Emails from mymac.local

I ran a "fetchmail -a" command in terminal not thinking it would work from the command line. It worked and downloaded all my mail from Gmail locally to my mac into /var/me/mail. About 8000 messages in total.
But it also started relaying all those messages through a postfix program I didn't know was running.
From what I can tell it tried to relay every message I was sent in my gmail to mymac.local and when it couldn't it send NDR messages back to the address that was trying to send it (i.e. the original sender that sent it to my gmail).
So to cut a long story short everyone who ever sent me an email got an NDR saying a message they sent to mymac.local could not be delivered. I was spamming them but I did not know it until a few hours later. At that time I killed the postfix program that (i think) was running an SMTP server relay on my machine. (I have MAMP installed for web development)
I still do not know if it has stopped sending as I cannot view what has been sent or not been sent in any log files.
How do I make sure everything (SMTP relays/postfix etc.) has stopped sending?
How do I turn off ability to send anything from my local machine?

Hi,
Some ISPs will only allow a device to send emails from their server when its connecting to the Internet over their network.
If the iPod touch is connecting to the Internet over the cellular network, you will most likely have to enable an alternate outgoing mail server(one that can only send over the cellular network). This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426 provides more details about enabling alternate SMTP servers.
You can avoid ISP related send mail issues by switching to another email provider, like MobileMe, Yahoo!, or Gmail.

Send email from OWB with authenticated SMTP server (AUTH_LOGIN)

Hi all,
I want to send email from Oracle Warehouse Builder 11.2.0.2 using a SMTP server with basic authentication (AUTH_LOGIN).
I've created an ACL for OWBSYS user according to note ID 1229769.1 in support.oracle.com.
But, I need to configure again the ACL to connect to the SMTP server using user and password.
I read the article in metalink, *How to Send an Email Using SMTP over an SSL Connection [ID 1323140.1]*+
but I don't know how can I configure again the ACL for use in OWB.
How OWB is able to authenticate with the SMTP server?
Thanks!
Maximiliano.

I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.
Ant ideas?

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

TS3899 I can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada? Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Help! And thanks!

Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help! Thanks.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Send email from SAP using SMTP-AUTH

Dear all,
I would like to send email from SAP to external SMTP server using authenticated method.
Can I set up this scenario with SAPConnect?
Or are there any other methods to set up this scenario?
Thanks, Regards,
Fendhy

Hi,
You dont need anu authentication to be set :
Just follow below steps :
Simple steps to do the SMTP configuration :
1. Use transaction SCOT
3. Double Click on SMTP
4. You will get a window and fill in description
5. Tick the "Node in use" box
6. Enter the hostname of the email exchange server
7. Mail port will be 25
8. Click on the button next to Internet called "Set"
9. You will get another window, in the "address area" box, enter *
10. Click the green check button to exit the second window
11. Click the green check button to exit the main window
12. From top menu: Settings -> Default Domain
13. in the small box that appears enter the domain name which is the last part after the @ sign. The domain name would be company.com
14. You need to define a job to process the email, from top menu: View -> Jobs
15. From top menu: Job -> Create
16. Enter a name
17. Click on "INT" in the list then "Schedule job" button
18. Enter start date and time, then click on "Schedule Periodically" button
19. Enter something like every 10 minutes.
20. the configuration is now complete. To test it, you need to have an email defined in your user id properties. Use SU01 for that.
21. Use transaction SO00
22. Put Title, and text in the body, then enter your email address below, the recepient type would be "internet address"
23. After a maximum of 10 minutes you should get the email address.

Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
all help is much appreciated.
interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

this may or may not help - but give it a try. On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella. below are the steps this use listed. (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same. In short it looks like their server names have changed. An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.) Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings. (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
See if this helps.
why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3. The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi.
This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP.
Incoming server settings
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
Outgoing Server settings
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 25
Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

How to send email from OSB with Mail server that requires SSL or STARTTLS

Hi everyone.
My leader ask me configuration on OSB to support send email to my company mail server (using https chanel) and customer email (some of them is gmail that require STARTTLS or SSL).
I've configured OSB as tutorial in that link: http://blogs.oracle.com/christomkins/entry/sending_an_email_from_oracle_s
But OSB cannot send email from mail account that configured because it cannot login to mail server. I think the reason is secure authentication with SSL or TLS.
There some problems that similar to mine in this forum but has nobody solved it yet.
Can you tell me the solution you know? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards
Cuong Pham

I know I'll offer you just a workaround and not a real solution, but you can try to start your own (intermediate) SMTP server to communicate with OSB (without SSL). Then you can just relay all the messages to your "real" SMTP server which requires SSL. If you start your intermediate SMTP server on the OSB host (localhost), then this layout could be acceptable even from security point of view.
