My iBook (Tiger) is on the same network and is not having any problems.' I tried adding the cable one smtp server and it also went offline. It seems to be network dependent as I don't have the problem at work - only when I come home (wireless network - cable one).

'I am having the same problem with my Powerbook (leopard). Additionally, the problem appears to be machine-specific and not due to some networking error or ISP block of service ports, since users with multiple machines on the same network have Mail working fine one one and not the other.

This problem appears reside with the Mail application and how the outgoing connection is being handled, not with MTP setup issues such as port number and authentication schemes, since other email applications such as Thunderbird and Entourage seem to work properly with identical settings. Prior to the outgoing failure I changed no settings myself just did the updates.' Oddly enough I can send mail from my work computer which is running 10.4 but not my primary home computer 10.5.4. The Mail application receives incoming messages properly, but when users attempt to send messages they are presented with errors such as 'The sender address was rejected by the server .' In other cases, the server simply goes offline and will not send messages.Īpple Discussions poster Rodi OLeary writes: Now you can just select your alias in the list when you compose a new message.Many Mail.app users are experiencing an problem in which the application will not send.
