The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly
I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
All outgoing emails were working fine.
I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
EDIT
I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.
This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..

I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

Hi,
I have SP 2013, and it was working properly. and workflows send emails perfectly. yesterday, i decided to build a fresh site collection so i deleted the old one and created a new one. now, workflows are unable to send emails. i'm sure it has nothing to do
with my mail server cuz no changes happened to it. i'm sure about the settings for outgoing mail on central admin. all i did, was to enter mail server IP in outgoing mail field and email below it.
in the workflow status the status says "error" followed by this message: "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly."
Any help please?Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to send email after building a fresh site collection.
I recommend to verify that you have entered your SMTP server name correctly.
You can add it as FQDN e.g. ServerName.DomainName.

Exchange 2010 "This message could not be sent. Try sending the message again later, or contact your network administrator. Error is [0x80004005-00000000-00000000].
In a mixed client environment, mostly Outlook 2010 & 2013 clients. Only Outlook 2013 clients (about only 4 mailboxes) are receiving this error immediately after sending an email. My temp band-aid at the
moment is to: from the client, go into the "address book" & select a different address book like "Contacts" & then select the address again & select the Global Address List, which is the default. (it will have the users email
+ at the beginning of the field, it reads, Global Address List - (email of the user), then I close Outlook & open it back up, & the problem is solved. But on some mailboxes, not all, the issue comes back. From my research, I know that our individual
mailboxes do not send out over 500 emails in one day. Most users will send out maybe 20 or 30 in one day, so I don't think it's that.
But I'm not sure if this is related, but I have noticed that the log files for the Exchange 2010 seems to only hold logs with date stamps of only a couple of days. It used to hold log files indefinitely until they were archived, deleted, etc. So, this is
a new, unusual issue I have seen as well.
We have 2 .edb's, one active: 78 GB's and one disabled at 7 GB's. Exchange 2010 is running on Windows Server 2008 r2, Enterprise Ed. We have had Exchange 2010 running now for about almost 2 years now and this is the first time this particular issue has come
up.
Thanks.Hi,
You can refer to the following steps to rebuild an Offline Address Book.
1. Open EMS. Update OAB using the Update-OfflineAddressbook "offline address book" cmdlet. Restart Background Intelligent Transfer Service on the Mailbox server.
2. Initiate OAB replication from mail box server to CAS server. Execute for each CAS server using the Update-FileDistributionService "CASServerName" cmdlet.
3. Start Outlook and download OAB.
What's more, here is an article for your reference.

2012 R2 Fax Server -- "The Message could not be sent. The wait operation timed out."
I receive the following error on a newly installed 2012 R2 fax server when sending from the Windows Fax and Scan console:
"The Message could not be sent. The wait operation timed out."
The test fax that fails only contains text that I type into the body. However, if I add an attachment, the fax is successful.
Any ideas??Hi,
Would you please let me confirm whether install any third-party application on the Windows Server 2012 R2?
Please perform a clean boot to eliminate software conflicts and monitor the result. Please also check if you install all necessary updates on the server.
Meanwhile, please run
sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files and check if find issues.
Please also refer to following article and check if can help you.

All three of these users are in her address book, and are all in her office residing on the same Office 365 domain account.
I have tried the troubleshooting methods outlined in this article, but they did not resolve the issue: http://theitbros.com/office-365-this-message-could-not-be-sent-try-sending-the-message-again-later/
- This entailed manually downloading/updating the address book via 'Send/Receive --> Download Address Book...'. The second method in that article had me rename/move/delete the Address Book files stored on the local machine, and then allow them to
repopulate when you open Outlook again. This also did not resolve my issue.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!That's the kind of message you will see when trying to send on behalf of/send as another user, when you don't have the necessary permissions added. Or you are using the wrong send method, or using an outdated name cache entry, or the OAB is outdated.

Messages OS X 10.9.5 - Your Message Could Not Be Sent Error
Over the last month Messages has begun giving me the following error:
"Your message could not be sent.
Click "Try Again" to send this message"
When I restart my computer it works for a short period of time and then begins delivering the same message. Any advice on how to troubleshoot and fix this problem so that I won't have to reboot my Mac all the time to use this service?
Thanks.Hi,
Are you sure you are maintaining an Internet Connection ?
If you have not Enabled the Bonjour Account in Messages and the iMessages account is the only one then Enable the Bonjour account (Even if you have no other Macs)
Then go to the Window Menu and Select the option to bring the Buddy List(s) into view.
Do these "close" similar to this ?
It may read "Disconnected" if it was connected and had "failed" since.

i have an issue when loading a workflow. it gives me a following error "The email message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing email settings for the server are configured properly". it doesnt send me any alerts and worlflow fails at the end
with the above error message.Hi,
I agree with Bistesh. But after Outgoing e-mail settings are configured properly, if the issue still exists,
It may result from your Anti-Virus. Please refer to the following steps:
Open MCAfee Console and go to Access Protection window.
Click Anti-Virus Standard Protection and edit “prevent mass mailing
worms from sending emails” rule.
Now we need to know which processes are being blocked therefore we need to check the MCAfee Log located at
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\DesktopProtection\AccessProtectionLog.txt
you may find entries of DtExec , DtExecUI and DatabaseMail90, now these processes need to be entered in the exclusion list of selected rule .
Reset the IIS And SharePoint Timer service to check if this works for you.

i cannot seem to upgrade the ipad to ios 5 i keep getting a message after about 15 minutes that says ipad server software could not be contacted make sure your network settings are correct. and network is active or try again later
My 3G service provider told me to power off by holding the top black button down for 5 seconds until you get until you get the red arrow asking you to slide to power off. Leave off for a minute or so and then use the same button to turn back on and it will show a little apple in the middle of the screen. This should reboot your server information and you will not get the error message.

Received error message that message could not be sent due to domain's size limit
Sent messages come back saying the domain's size limit causes messages to be undeliverable. How can I fix this?
Folling your instructions, settings same as ISP's, I did manage to send and receive One test message yesterday.
Trying this morning all attempts are complete failures; with requests to "enter new password". A password which has not been changed.
Just now attempted to send a test message three times; receiving the same request for a new password then some how forcing the issue I received the following:
"An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: pacmmta54.windstream.net pacmmta54 4.7.1 - Connection Refused - 72.168.134.151 - Too many connections."
By the way, I've (using the package manager) have completely un-installed and then then reinstall "Thunderbird".
An interesting note; I should have had NO orginal settings or have retained any incoming email messages, correct?, but I did and infact click on the link of your original reply. This message is not being sent from in side Thunderbird, but from Mozilla support web page. Thank you for your assistance.

Mail provider - Network Solutions
ISP - Comcast
Anti-Virus - Kaspersky Internet Security 2013
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
Outgoing Server SMTP settings attached.
I can receive messages and can send them directly from Network Solutions just unable to send now from Thunderbird. Was working fine until the newest version installed. Haven't changed any settings...That anti virus? is it Nortons security suite? I think that is what comcast give their xfinity customers but I am not sure what everyone else gets.
Assuming is is the Norton's product go into the firewall component and explicitly allow Thunderbird unrestricted access to the internet. Norton's product have a long history of blocking new releases of mail programs because the version number changed.
Go onto the SMTP setting you have in the image and make sure each has a description entered.
Now check in the account settings by clicking the account name in the list so you select the item about Server settings for each account and make sure the selected SMTP server is what you think it is. Now there is a description that will show in the list. -
My daughter forgot her passcode. Her iPod Touch 4gen is disabled. I've tried everything I've read online. I get to the "Restore" part on iTunes and then I get the message, "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network connections are correct and your network connection is active or try again later." How can this be so hard to do? Why isn't there a simpler solution. I live 2 hours from the nearest Apple store. Any advice you may offer would be very much appreciated.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
I try and download the new Outlook update and it says I have to close sync services agent and others.I do that,or 'think' I do but it doesn't close.
PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!! -
I have used Outlook since it came out and am using it on new Macbook Air. Today, I started getting this message.
thank you!
GaryIt sounds to me like some of the addressees in an email message you're tryijng to send are not legitimate. Perhaps you're trying to use Apple's Contacts address book instead of Outlook's. Check each outgoing address in the message.
