I get the following error message from our SMTP server. I do not get this message when I am using Postbox, Mail or Airmail.

4.4.2 Message submission rate for this client has exceeded the configured limit

    Is this an Exchange SMTP server (based on what I found here)?

    Try opening the Activity Viewer (⌥⌘0) and then send a message (maybe after relaunching MailMate to clear all state). Then locate the SMTP connection used for the attempt to send and select it to see the log in the lower part of the window. Maybe that can provide a hint. You are welcome to send it to me.

    It is indeed an exchange server (2011). The trace from the log is

    Surprised that I am not getting any problems with other mailers. I have asked our helpdesk to check the log on server side. Best

    The MAIL FROM value looks strange. Where does the mailto: stuff come from? Maybe check your IMAP account settings.

    Other than that, it looks fine, but note that the error message has changed. It now seems to indicate that the server does not have enough space for the message...

    It does appear to be a "space"/resource issue server side, but I do not get any errors when sending the same message from the OSX Mail client.

    Maybe you don't use the IMAP access with Apple Mail and that makes a difference?

  • Henrik I Christensen

    Henrik I Christensen December 11th, 2013 @ 02:36 PM

    True. I am using the Mail exchange link, but I have used airmail with the imap and still not getting the error message. My preference is mail clients i) mailmate, ii) airmail and iii) osx mail. Not sure what has changed. Could be server side or client slide. I am using the latest mailmate - Version 1.7.1 (3836) - with version 2 features enabled.

    One possible difference. The server claims to support the SIZE extension. MailMate supports that and tells the server the size of the message to be uploaded. Maybe this triggers a bug in Exchange that the other email clients do not trigger.

    Other than that I cannot see any potential problems.

    Not sure. I have asked our enterprise people to send me a copy of the relevant part of the log, so that I can see what is happening server side. Stay tuned. Thank you for your support.
