Why my e-mail messages are not delivered?
There are few typical reasons why e-mail message can not be delivered (even
to your own working e-mail address).
| Error |
Troubleshooting |
|
Rejected by server
|
Message was rejected by remote SMTP server due to their antispam settings.
Most of large smtp servers do not accept mail from home computers (with
dial-up or cable IP addresses). You need send mail via external SMTP server,
it's highly recommended. Please open Settings
/ Common Settings / SMTP
and add SMTP server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or hosting
service.
|
|
Transaction failed
No such address
User not local
|
It usually happens if you try send mail via the external SMTP server,
but do not provide correct username / password when it's required. Please
open Settings / Common Settings
/ SMTP, double click at the server name and
change Authentication type. The most popular
type is ESMTP. CRAM
and DIGEST are used at the less number of servers,
POP before SMTP is too old, not recommended
to use.
Note for hotmail.com - please check HELO value. It's very important
for them. Open Settings / Common
Settings / Mailer and check value of
HELO there. It must be the same as at www.massmailsoftware.com/ip.

Remote server not answer
Connection refused
Can not access Internet
DNS Server not responding
|
Atomic Mail Sender can not access the Internet or your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) does not allow direct email delivery.
1. Please check your firewall and antivirus settings. These programs
may block other applications to access network (ZoneAlarm, Panda, AVP,
McAfee, Norton, Symantec Internet Security).
2. Make sure your ISP allows direct email delivery. If not, you need
send all mail via ISP STMP server. Please open Settings
/ Common Settings / SMTP
and add SMTP server of your ISP there (you can find list of SMTP servers
of popular providers here).
3. If DNS problem, try use Custom DNS (change it in Common
Settings / DNS). Try enter public worldwide
DNS server - 204.101.251.2

SMTP syntax error
|
It usually happens if you send username / password when it's not required.
Please open Settings / Common
Settings / SMTP, double click at the server
name and change Authentication to Not
required. |
|
Authentication failure
Error in SMTP AUTH
|
You have an error in username or password used to access external SMTP
server.
Please open Settings / Common
Settings / SMTP, then double click at
the server name in the list and correct username and password there.
Note 1: Make sure CAPS LOCK is not pressed - it's important!
Note 2: Some smtp servers require username "user@mail.com"
instead of "user", please investigate.

Mailbox is full
|

with 2Gb mailboxes. Some have very small mailboxes. |
| Error 421 |
It's temporary e-mail delivery failure.

Please decrease Threads Count in Common Settings,

(say more then a minute), you need check the following:
1. Your message is really large and Atomic Mail Sender need much time
to deliver it.
2. Atomic Mail Sender is completely blocked by your antivirus or firewall
and can not access Internet. Please check the settings of these programs.
