Verizon SMTP - Can't Send Mail

I know others have posted this problem before but I couldn't find any successful solutions that worked for me.
Error message: "Cannot send message using the server outgoing.verizon.net."
Please help; I'm desperate.
Current settings:
Incoming mail server: incoming.verizon.net
User name: joe.smith
Password: ** [regular Verizon password]
Outgoing: outgoing.verizon.net:joe.smith

Outgoing: outgoing.verizon.net:joe.smith
With your user name added to Verizon's SMTP server, this indicates the SMTP server is authenticated.
Does Verizon require SMTP authentication and if so, is Password the authentication type?
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the accounts preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
If Password authentication is required, confirm Password is selected and confirm your user name and password is entered correctly.
For ISP's and email account providers that require Password as the authentication type for their SMTP server, some require the account's user name only and some require the entire email address so this needs to be confirmed.
If Password authentication is not required for Verizon's SMTP server, select None for authentication and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.

User "null" with comcast SMTP, can't send mail with Mail 3.1

it was kind of off and on, now seems permanent. When sending mail via comcast SMTP, the following error is returned: P*lease enter the password for user “(null)” on SMTP server “smtp.comcast.net”*
The mystery is how user got to be "null". Deleting the account and redoing it doesn't help. Changing port to 25 and 587 don't work. I get mail fine, just can't send. Yes, my user name is actually filled in on the accounts page. Gmail works fine...
Thanks

wierd...
blanked out my username, but Mail insists on having a username. So on a lark I put back my username with the @comcast.net domain and it worked (one test message anyway). I left the password filled in 'cuz I hate having to fill my password in every time.
So thanks for joggling the idea bank!

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

Can't Send Mail Via HughesNet SMTP Server

After installing 10.5 I find that I can receive mail from my ISP (HughesNet) but I can't send mail through the smtp server. I've tried every setting possible and even duplicated the settings off my wife's 10.4.10 iMac and I still can't send mail. All I see is that the smtp service is "Offline."
Fortunately, I have a .Mac account so I can send mail using that smtp server. But I'd like to be abel to use my HughesNet server.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

My mom uses RoadRunner by Time Warner. She was able to receive email using Leopard and Mail but not send. SMTP server was the big problem like everyone else here experienced. We finally were able to get it to work using many ideas here. What we did:
1) Delete com.apple.mail.plist from the User/Library/Preferences folder (BACK UP YOUR EMAIL FIRST)
2) Open Mail and create a new account but disable the automatic set-up feature, put your info in manually.
3) Uncheck " Use only this server" from the outgoing mail
4) Under the Advanced tab on Mail Prefs "port set to 25", Uncheck "SSL" box, and uncheck "Use Authentication"
5) Now hit Create
It took Mail about 20 minutes to contact the SMTP server, but it did and now I can send and receive Mail without any problems on her computer.
Bad Apple...stop criticizing MS and Vista when your own house is not in order yet. Hope this helps someone out there.....

Postfix/smtp[8437] Operation timed out can't send mail to 1 address

server 10.4.5 running mail, filesharing and website.
The mail server has been up for months working fawlessly. We have one address (domain) where we can't send mail, and users at that address can't send us mail.
All other mail functions on both ends seem to be functioning fine.
They seem to be running exchange as a mail server, but i don't have other details from their side. DNS/MX records all look like you would expect.
This has me stumped.
i turned debug level loging on and got the following smtp message written to the log when i tried to mail to an address at that domain.
Feb 23 20:45:10 fileserver postfix/smtp[8437]: 775401AFD61: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=31, status=deferred (connect to anhc-mail.anhc.org[24.237.2.213]: Operation timed out)

Yes, good luck to them.
relay=none
doesn't look so good.
Of course, a successful outgoing message should look something more like:
Apr 8 11:41:05 server postfix/smtp[2300]: F1D4D3B8A27: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mail.someobfuscatedserver.com[6x.20x.148.1x6], delay=5, status=sent (250 2.0.0 k38FYfDS023848 Message accepted for delivery)
I take it you can send to any/all other mail addresses (servers) ?
Here's a thought:
Some time ago, I had to edit the helo_checks config of postfix, for a windows mailserver because their AntiVirus was horribly mangling their outgoing mail, helo-ing as <fix-your-dns>.local
Point being that .local anything is not a viable tld for anything in the public realm, and certainly won't work with the rest of the world in terms of DNS.
That might be the work of Norton's break-it-for-you addon for Windows Exchange mailservers, not sure.
Please post the output of:
postconf -n
on your server,
and the mail.log file content when they try to send you an email (confirm via telephone and watch for it).

Can receive but can't send mail via BT Yahoo SMTP server port 995

Suddenly I can't send mail from my BT/Yahoo account but can still receive mail. The message that i get is that it was rejected by the server. I have not changed the server - it is still SMTP via port 995, using SSL. Help!! Why should this have ocurred out of the blue and what do I do?

Can't send mail on iOS 5 devices with iCloud

A long time ago I signed up for a .Mac trial to use that address with iChat. The trial expired, and, as expected, the address continued to work with iChat, though it no longer functioned as an email address. It then came to be my Apple ID. Now, having set that Apple ID up for use with iCloud, my iOS devicess are having trouble sending, and only sending email from my iCloud address. The reason is this: I logged into <username>@mac.com for iCloud (as that's my Apple ID), and everything set up right except the mail address that iOS Mail thinks I have. It thinks the mail address for the iCloud account is <username>@mac.com. When I send mail to <username>@me.com, my iOS devices get it just fine, but when I try to send mail back, it tries to send it from the @mac.com address, and therefore fails as that is not a valid email address.
I've tried to go into the settings and change the email address that it uses for iCLoud, but with no luck. I see a place to change it, but it is grayed out and won't let me select it and bring up a keyboard to change it.
Is there any way to tell it that it assumed the wrong email address for my iCloud? Or is there no way to send iCloud email from my iOS devices?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I can send mail via iCloud from the web app and from Apple Mail (OS X Lion), but not from iOS devices because of this glitch. I can also send mail from iOS devices using other email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo).

I found a work around that works. Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
Add an "other" server.
Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
SSL is on
Authentication is password
Server port 587
This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed. (you may need to use p02, p03 etc) Don't make this server your primary. Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
Good luck

Receiving mail, but can't send mail with attachments?

Hello,
I can't send mails anymore, I have been able to send some without any attachments (i.e. reply doesn't work as it automatically attaches the original text). This started 3 days ago. Also, my mail doesn't seem to recognize powerpoint and word docs., but I a know the people who have send me such files do not have VISTA. When I choose "open with" then it works. So I have 2 problems, one being moe urgent then the other.
1) can't send mail with attachments
2) .doc (word), .pps (powerpoint)attachments are not always recognized.
thank you all!!!

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

Can't send mail when connected to vpn

I'm hooked up with a private vpn service using OpenVpn. Everything works beautifully -- except that I can't send mail (receiving is no problem) because the SMTP ports offered through Mail 4.5 (ports 25, 465, 587) are blocked by many VPN providers as an anti-spam measure. I can't use port 993 with SSL because I live in Monaco, which has one ISP -- and it does not provide or support secure email (which is one of the reasons I want the VPN).
Is there another port I can select for SMTP, or some configuration tricks I'm missing? Thanks...:)

Hello Brian,
Basically this is the VPN group:
crypto isakmp client configuration group open
key (something)
dns 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8
domain something.com
pool SDM_POOL_1
save-password
backup-gateway 192.168.1.1
max-users 5
netmask 255.255.255.0
banner ^Cyou have connected to the vpn-ings!. well done! ^
I see that you are doing tunnel all, and you are not split tunneling on this configuration, what you can do is to use split tunnel, under this configuration as follow:
ip access-list extended SPLIT_TUNNEL
permit ip XXXXX XXXXX 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
XXXXX --> are the inside subnets
Then under this:
crypto isakmp client configuration group open
acl SPLIT_TUNNEL
This will allow you to have access to the internal subnets through the tunnel and have access to internet through the internet connection on your computer.
For further details take a look to this document:
- http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/3600-series-multiservice-platforms/91193-rtr-ipsec-internet-connect.html
Don't use Any on your ACL statements for split tunneling purposes.
Let me know how it works out!
Please don't forget to rate and mark as correct the helpful Post!

Can't send Mail with AOL address-out of ideas

hello,
I can recieve mail just fine. It's only when I try to send it. I've tried changing the outgoing server to smtp.aol.com and 4.78.166.10.
changed the ports from 25 to 587 to 1024.
I appreciate your help. thanks in advance.

powermac g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

My girlfriend and I are RoadRunner customers and RR allows using an SMTP server outside of their network as long as the SMTP server is authenticated.
I set up my girlfriend's AOL account in Tiger Mail (and the only email account she uses) on my old TiBook that I loaned her until she purchases her own Mac and she sends mail with her AOL account with no problems.
The AOL SMTP server settings are as follows:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication Type: Password
User Name: Your AOL screen name or the portion of your AOL email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The password for this screen name/email account - the same used for checking the account for new mail.
If your settings are the same, try deleting and recreating the account in Mail.
If this doesn't work and it should since it works for my girlfriend, you can select/use the RR SMTP server to send mail with your AOL account which is invisible to all recipients.
