Suddenly, outgoing mail is not working

Hi,
I've had the iPhone for 3 months now, and it's worked as advertised. Very glad. I have one email account set up on the phone - one which uses a POP server. Again, for the most part it's worked very well (every so often, when trying to send an email, I'd get a message saying "Message could not be delivered because server refused connection," but after sending again, the message would go through with no problems).
However, today every single email I've sent has got stuck in my Outbox. Sometimes I get the "message could not be delivered" message, sometimes I don't even get that. Emails are simply not going out.
I checked to make sure it wasn't my POP server that was the culprit, but I can send and receive emails from the email account in question when using the Mail app on my Mac Pro, or the webmail interface. So I'm fairly certain it's not the POP server.
I've also tried to send the email (from the iPhone) with wifi turned on and off, but I get the same results...or lack thereof.
I haven't changed any of the settings on my iPhone's email account, so that's also not the cause.
Any ideas? I've got mails piling up on my outbox and don't know what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mr. Sparkle

Thank you very much! That seems to have done the trick.
A friend of mine had a similar thing happen to him - hopefully, Apple can take care of this on a firmware update or some such.
again, thanks.

Suddenly outgoing mail server not working!

Out of nowhere, I am all of a sudden having problems with my outgoing mail servers. Most of my email accounts are through AOL, so based on which screen name I am emailing from, the outgoing server as always been smtp.aol.com:username. But lately, when sending mail, I get the drop down "try a different outgoing mail server warning. My internet service is through Comcast, so if I change the outgoing mail server to smtp.comcast.com, the mail will send. But why has this problem popped up? Did Comcast change something? AOL? Thanks for any help anyone has!

I have got a similar problem. Mail has never worked properly - I can receive emails but not send them, Although the data for the smtp-server is absolutely correct and so is all rest password etc. - I've also tried other ports but they didn't work either. It can't be my computer or some firewall because Entourage, the microsoft mail-programme works perfectly well. After having had constant trouble with my PC, I bought this mac 2 months ago - and now I'm having more problems. Is there anyone who can give me a hint of what to do? Thanks.

Outgoing mail is not working on the Macbook Pro

Hey
I am using the mail client to read my gmail mails in my Macbook Pro. Incoming and outgoing emails were working fine and all of a sudden for the last 2 days my outgoing mails are not working and i get this error" the sender address blah blah.com was rejected by the server".
I reentered my cred in the pref pane and it still does not work. I am able to send mails fine using the browser. Incoming mails is fine is fine on the client.
Any idea what is causing this error?
Thanks

I'm not sure why this worked fine for a period of time but most, if not all ISPs use for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, you need to add your ISP's SMTP server to mail and select this SMTP server to send mail with your gmail account which is invisible to all recipients.

TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

Server App: Outgoing Mail Relay not working

Hi,
I'm trying to set up Outgoing Mail Relay on my Mountain Lion Server, but I always get bounced emails:
Oct 1 04:33:34 my.server.private postfix/smtp[9582]: C855DCE700D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mx2.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.128]:25, delay=0.91, delays=0/0.02/0.65/0.24, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host mx2.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.128] said: 554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [myIP] blocked using zen.dnsbl; http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=myIP (in reply to RCPT TO command))
If I use in the SMTP servers list of Mail app, the exact same account credentials, the email is been delivered only when using SSL. So, I tried adding :465 and :587 to the ougoing relay server in the Server app (Relay outgoing mail throught ISP), but I get the following error and the message stays queued:
Oct 1 04:13:41 my.server.private postfix/smtp[8920]: connect to mx2.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.128]:587: Connection refused
Oct 1 04:13:41 my.server.private postfix/smtp[8920]: connect to mx1.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.127]:587: Connection refused
Oct 1 04:13:41 my.server.private postfix/smtp[8920]: 0BAD1CE6340: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=369, delays=369/0.02/0.43/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mx1.sub5.homie.mail.dreamhost.com[208.113.200.127]:587: Connection refused)
It seems I'm missing something. I want to use smtp account to send all the email coming from my Mac OS X Server, but it looks like I'm doing something wrong or the Server App doesnt work the same way Mail App does when connecting to a SMTP server.
Any comments?

Let me add....
Mail app is connecting and sending the emails correctly with the same credentials but using SSL through port 25:

I would like to force Server App to do a SSL connection to port 25 of the specified relay server, but not sure how to do this. If I don't manage to do SSL on port 25, then, my relay server will bounce the emails...
grrrr!

Me outgoing mail server not working from iPhone / Reply to email address

Hi, I have MM sent up on my iPhone and Mac, the SMTP outgoing mail server does not work from the iPhone but does from the Mac, to get around this I changed the outgoing server on the iPhone to my optusnet outgoing server, that has been working fine, the problem I have is if someone reply's to a email from the phone it gets bounced back becuase the reply to email address for me is @mac.com not from @me.com
I have tried to change the reply to email address in the phone but it only allows you to change the name not the @mac.com
I have only ever had a Me account not a .Mac account so I dont know why its locked to @mac

I deleted the MM account on the phone and reinstalled it again. Now it is working.

Adelphia outgoing mail server not working

I have been trying for the last week or so to get my adelphia mail to send from Mail. I can receive mail no problem, but the outgoing mail server does not work. I have the settings as such:
outgoing server: mail.adelphia.net
server port: 587 (also tried 25)
SSL: off
Password: none
The error that I get is that port 587 times out. When I switch it to port 25 I get "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
I made sure my password is correct in keychain as well.
When I run a tracer route to find the ISP I get " gig2-1.clmascspv-rtr1.sc.rr.com, cable6-cha.edge.aol.com, son4-1-2.rlghncrdc-rtr3.nc.rr.com " as #2, 3, 4. I have tried to use these servers, but with no success.
Please help,

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
I get 100% success pinging mail.adelphia.net, and if at your home venue where Adelphia is your ISP, then I think no separate Authentication is required. Port 25 would be the proper port. However, if you are not at home, and the provider of internet connection limits you to using only authenticated SMTP then you would not able to use mail.adelphia.net as the Outgoing Server.
Are you at the venue where Adelphia is the ISP?

Send Outgoing Mail Messages not working

I'm having trouble with a workflow that creates a new mail message, gets specified iCal items, creates a summary text file, attaches to mail message and then sends mail message. Everything is working except the mail message does not get sent. There are no logged error messages. I've experimented with changing up the order of the actions and noticed that when I place "Send Outgoing Messages" directly after "New Mail Message", the message gets sent without a problem. However in order for my workflow to make sense I need to have many intermediary steps before I trigger the send messages action.
Any clues on this problem. Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Cascanuit-
I'm relatively new to Automator as well and by no means a programmer. It does seem that the iCal actions available are pretty meager. I did a search at www.automatorworld.com and there are a few additional actions but none that call out specific menu items.
Another way to approach your desired workflow is to create an applescript that selects Export... from the File Menu. I know very little beyond the basics of applescript but I did cobble together the following:
tell application "iCal" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "iCal"
set frontmost to true
click menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 4
tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
end tell
Here's the weird part. This script works, but only sporadically. Sometimes it stalls at the selection of the Export button in the dialog box. I have no idea why it sometimes works and other times fails.
If someone could refine this script to make it bullet proof than you can simply incorporate it as an automator workflow and then save the created export file to another volume or anywhere you like.
Hope this helps some.
