"Cannot send message using the server"

Tyler Banfield · #1 12-28-2006, 10:02 PM

I setup an email account in Apple Mail, and although I can receive emails with no problem, everytime I try to send one I get an error message that says "Cannot send message using the server mail.mydomainname.com"

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?

A lot of ISPs block using other SMTP servers to send mail. I'd first try port 26, and if that doesn't work, get the SMTP server from your ISP and use that. A lot of people use that solution.

Thank you very much, I switched to Port 26 and was able to send outgoing mail with no problem!

Thanks for the fast (and accurate) response
