Mac SMTP server offline (Solved problem)
My SMTP server has been offline for 5 weeks. I have spent in excess of 10 hours on the phone with Suddenlink (my mail provider). Spoke to 6 different techs. They changed everything, but nothing worked. Googled mac+smtp server offline and spent another 5 hours searching, trying almost everything anyone suggested...nothing worked.
Googled Suddenlink+mac+smtp server offline. Found the answer. In my case it was very simple. The SMTP server user name had been changed by one of the techs and it was wrong. It should have been my complete email address. Corrected it and I can now send emails.
When you do a search...type in the name of your mail provider first+mac+smtp server offline. It made a huge difference in the answers.
Hope this helps.
