Smtp server won't send mail from the office, works fine at home...

Ugggg... AOL!!! I can't send my emails from my Mac Mail program using my aol account from the office. This works fine from other connections. I am wireless at work and at home and elsewhere all the time and don't have a problem. I CAN'T send out using smtp.aol.com from the office, using my aol account and passord in the preferences etc. I've worked out of this office in the past and didn't have a problem but haven't been able to send out all week...
OS 10.3.7 Not Tiger, the one before (Panther?)
Help

Welcome to the Discussions.
Many ISP are blocking the use of any third party SMTP, sometimes even when presented on Port 587 (I presume you are using Port 587?) -- could it be that the ISP connecting the office, has changed policy?

  • Server won't send mail in the queue

    Hi,
    I have a mail server running on Mac OS X Server 10.4 running at my home on an ADSL connection. I am able to receive mail just fine, but when I try to send mail, it will not leave the outgoing mail queue on the server with the error boiling down to not being able to connect to the recipient's mail server. I am I am using DynDNS to point my domain to my IP address. Is something funky about my DNS? Maybe reverse DNS or anything like that? I've tried a lot of different settings, and I can't seem to get this to work. Thanks!

    Ok, so I added the instructions for an authenticated postfix relay to an email server I know that works. The procedure I followed is here: http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/smtpauthmailservers.html
    However, I'm still getting the same error...maybe I didn't configure something properly. I found nothing related to SASL in the main.cf file, so I added the settings somewhere in the middle. Here's the error log:

  • I have suddenly got the following message An (SMTP) error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: Requested action aborted: This mail account has se

    Having been on Thunderbird for some years I have suddenly got the following message when trying to send mail.
    An (SMTP) error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: Requested action aborted: This mail account has sent too many messages in a short amount of time. Please try later..
    I have checked the SMTP server settings in tools, account settings and they are as they have always been. Is there something I have missed?

    Sending through web mail is totally irrelevant to using an SMTP server. The message even says it is from the server. Why do you think this is a Thunderbird problem.
    The provider has put in place measures to keep people from spamming other email recipients using thier SMTP server. You have seen the result of those measures.

  • Why cant I send mail from the mailapp on My ipad?

    I can't send maila from the mailapp on My ipad air. What can the problem be? Pelare help me :)

    The parameters for the outgoing email server are probably not set correctly in your Mail account in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars.
    Check these carefully to make sure that User name, password, server name, port, and password are correct.
    If you need more help then who is your email provider?

  • Sending mail from the terminal app

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to send an email message from the terminal app. I've been trying to figure it out from the man pages and a book I bought, but I can't get anywhere. I don't mean using OSX Mail, but composing an email message and sending to someone else.
    I've been trying to make sense of the man pages (mail and sendmail), and tried to, for example send a message to my gmail account, according to what I thought I understood from the man pages:
    mail [[email protected]]
    Subject: Test (then I pressed control -D)
    EOT
    Null message body; hope that's ok
    but when I check my gmail account, there's nothing there.
    What am I missing?

    But there is a (high) possibility that Gmail's server requires authentication (or certification) to connect to it.
    I wonder if they're simply silently dropping emails in certain cases. I forgot earlier that I have a Gmail account. If I send an email from the command line on my home computer, which is on Comcast, the mail log shows that I successfully connect to Gmail, the message is sent and accepted by Gmail, but the email never arrives in my inbox. I've tried several times with the same result.
    However, emails from a web server from work get through to Gmail without a problem. So I'd bet it's a case of them not delivering mail from Comcast IP addresses.
    For grins, I also tried sending to my Yahoo email account from my home computer and their server at least refuses the connection and I get an error message stating that it's because it's a residential IP address.
    In this case you need an SMTP client (=a software which directly sends the mail to the Gmail server) which supports authentication.
    I think this might also be possible with Postfix by editing the configuration files. I know I had to set up authentication to send emails to my work address directly from my home computers, but I haven't been able to get the same thing to work with Gmail yet. If I get a chance, I'll look into it again later tonight.

  • Sending mail from the iphone

    I cannot send a mail from my iphone. receiving is OK, and stup is OK. Message is: the receiver was rejected by the server, because it does not allow relay-connections

    Yup. So you need to use 2 different outgoing Servers. one for when you are on 3G and one for wifi connection
    Your 3G outgoing SMTP server will be the server provided by your mobile carrier.. For example I have Telus and my outgoing server for sending mail on 3G is smtp.telus.net.  Contact your provider to get this info..
    When you are connected to your wifi. use your ISP's or Google's SMTP server. This will allow you to send email either way.
    To add more than 1 outgoing SMTP server do this:
    Settings > Mail, contacts, calendars > Select the email account from the list > Select SMTP > you will see the Primary server in that list. > click on Add server. Enter the SMTP address in the Host name section. you shouldn't need a username/password
    Then hit save
    it will attempt to setup the settings. It may also prompt you to "Setup without using SSL" You want to hit yes. it might ask twice.
    After a few minutes it should get setup with both servers for that mail account. I have this setup on my phone as well as my dad's at his home.

  • OSX Mail won't send mail from outbox

    Hi.
    I'm having a problem with Mail not sending messages from my out box. Everytime I compose a new message, it ends up in the outbox. I used the connection doctor and my pop and smtp connection is fine. I tried deleting some of my old email messages. I've repaired permissions, ran Diskwarrior even move my old email from a holding folder, deleting the old mail account, created a new account, transfered the old email back into the new account. It still doesn't send email from the out box. I know my pref settings are correct because I also have a G-4 desktop running the same OS and it sends mail just fine. I'm stumped.
    Any info will be of great help.

    If no error message is provided, the Outbox mailbox may have some corruption.
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
    The Outbox.mbox folder represents Out in the mailboxes drawer which appears only when a message cannot be sent and is shared by all accounts.
    Delete the Outbox.mbox folder and empty the Trash. This will delete any messages contained in the Outbox mailbox so before doing so, you need to move any messages contained in the Outbox mailbox to the account's Drafts mailbox.
    Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox folder will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder.

  • Mail + Exchange IMAP Server won't send mail

    Any help would be appreciated!-
    My university just switched over to Exchange 2007 for our mail servers, and since the change occurred, I can receive my mail just fine with the IMAP settings they provided. The problem occurs when I attempt to send mail; the server rejects my password (which I know is correct) and will not send any mail. I've also put below the link that the university has provided for students to set up their mail accounts within. I called IT, and they said that Mail wouldn't work until Apple updated their program, which didn't seem right to me because I'm sure that I would see more people complaining than just me. I am on campus, which would also eliminate the need for using the available VPN client.
    Can any of you see maybe what settings they may have missed mentioning to us loyal mac fans on campus?
    Their guide for connecting mail is located at:
    https://servicenow.ou.edu/kbview.do?sysid=0f8482a87f000001012772bc7e347fb6
    Thank You for any help you may provide!

    Jimmy,
    Many email providers do not allow emails to be sent on their outgoing servers when the user is outside of their network as an anti-spam protection. This may explain why you were able to send mail from your school account when you were on your school's Wi-Fi connection, but not on your home connection or EDGE. You may want to check with your school's email provider to verify this is the case.
    In the meantime, this article has some good troubleshooting steps and alternatives that you can use so that you will be able to send mail when you are away from your school's Wi-Fi network:

    Hope this helps,

  • When using 3G on my ipad2, gmail won't send mail.  The 2 emails i'm trying to send have 3 pictures attached and are stuck in the Outbox-checkd server under settings

    Been trying to send 2 emails from Ipad2 with pictures attached from gmail.  Both emails have been stuck in my Outbox and gmail continually tries to send but i keep getting a nessage that the gmail server can't be found.  Went under settings, checked server and it seems fine.  I don't have Wifi @home or else i'd try switching.  Any ideas of what could be happenin'?

        daviddavidff, we want you to be able to send and receive! If Earthlink has confirmed the outgoing server settings and you can access the email and send without issue from a labtop I would lean away from it being an issue with the account. If you can receive email then we know the device is communicating with the network.
    I would try deleting the any email in the outbox folder http://bit.ly/1g1labk and then attempt to send a new email. Send the email to your own email address so we can verify success. Let us know if you can then send email.

  • How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

    I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly.  I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server.  Please edit the server list'.  No amount of tweaking appears to work.  Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also.  My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant.  The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
    I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
    Does anyone please have a solution to my problem?  At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2.  As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
    Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly.  One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

    You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some  computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
    Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?).  As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing.  Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
    That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail.  I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem.  You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
    The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
    All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox.  Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course.  The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself.  I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions.  This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line.   You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
    Many thanks for your perseverance.  You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

  • Mavericks mail can't send mail from the correct account

    I have 5 mail account(index 1,2,3,4,5) in my mail app.
    the default account is account 1.
    After I new a mail and change the sender account to another account(not default account), the mail receiver always receive this mail from my default account address. This appeared from one week ago.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    btw: all the 5 mail accounts are gmail accounts.
    for icloud or other accounts, it works well.

  • How can i send mail from the mail same mail account on which it was forward to my gmail account?

    I have added many accounts in my Gmail account and i've selected "Reply from the same address the message was sent to" in Gmail option. So whenever i reply to any mail, it automatically sends from the account on which i had received the mail.
    How can i get the same configuration in Apple mail?

    In the 'new message' window click the three line option button to 'Customize…' the window.
    Enable the 'From field' & click OK to save the new field settings. If these accounts are setup in Mail you can now select them when replying or sending new mail.
    Also check the 'Mail > Composing tab' preferences. There is an option to 'Send from selected mailbox' that may help if Mail is setup with all of the relevant email accounts.
    Otherwise you may need to log in to gmail on the web & reply from there. Apple Mail cannot understand how gmail & forwarding from other accounts is setup so it cannot try to reply from another account that isn't setup on the Mac.

  • Running Prime Infrastructure in HA mode but the primary server won't take over from the secondary

    We're running Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 in High Availability mode, or atleast we're supposed to.
    At first everything seemed fine. We were using the primary server and the failover worked without a hitch when we tried it.
    Then the problems started. I think it was at the same time as we increased the disk-size and therefore had to fail over.
    When looking into the primary server using CLI everything seems fine but the service doesn't fail back to it. We've even tried to restart the secondary server in order to force the primary server to take over but it didn't work.
    In about 2 weeks we need to upgrade Prime and while doing that we would prefer to have our HA working so that we can continue monitoring our network.
