Apple email not sending using mail.twc.com outgoing server

I have a 2020 iMac running Sonoma 14.3. Anyone having trouble sending email through Apple Mail with the mail.twc.com outgoing email server? All my email accounts stopped sending on Monday. All the spectrum provided settings and passwords are correct. I am receiving emails fine, but cannot send anything.

iMac 27″, macOS 14.3

Recently I noticed that they now require a secure connection with the same incoming server's credentials, and I also had to update the SMTP address. Here is the configuration for Mail at Settings... → Accounts → Server Settings (header) → Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) that worked for my POP rr email account: (create a separate outgoing mail server "account" configuration for each unique email account since some of the fields are account-specific)


  • uncheck "Automatically manage connection settings"
  • User Name: your FULL email address
  • Password: the same password as your incoming mail server from above
  • Host Name: smtp-server.??.rr.com (where ?? matches that of your email address)
  • Port: 25
  • CHECK "use TLS/SSL"
  • Authentication: Password


And don't forget to press save in the bottom right.
