This should be what it says. The server reports a temporary problem
and refuses to send the message. MailMate could (but doesn't)
automatically try later, but I'm not sure that would be a better
solution. To be clear, MailMate cannot send the message when the
server refuses to do so. Based on the above Gmail is the problem.
What I can't figure out why GMail is rejecting my outbound mail
when inbound is fine-- and I can do whatever I want via their
web-based UI, including send the rejected sent-mail that got stored
in the Drafts folder. And it seems like it must just be me, because
if GMail weren't accepting outbound mail in general, we'd have heard
about it by now.
Followup to that: I can't send mail via my other mail account
either, though apparently for a different reason. Receiving mail on
both accounts seems to be fine. Here's what I see in the latest
failure (I altered the server name):
Yes, that does look like it's for a different reason. No connection
is made at all. Are you on a very slow connection?
No, it turns out (as I just found) that the provider had changed
the outbound mail server's address in a hardware upgrade and didn't
bother to let me know. Grrrr. But at least that one's solved, since
it works fine now.
