"rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation"

ryanpmccoy,

Check to the right "More Like This" A lot of mail is bouncing... >>>>>>>>>>>>

This might give some explaination, as well as link(s) that you might want to check as well as advice.

Hope this helps.

you response is not helpful at all....if Apple accepts my pw to buy software from it....it should have no problem with my reputation giving me free software updates. If its not a direct answerer to my question - keep it to your self, no offense but I lost enough time searching for answers already.

Also this is a question about updating to 0S 8.11 from my iPad 2 and its rejecting my Apple ID for that purpose and that purpose alone apparently.

My email works fine, everything else works fine, accessing Apple ID site - works just fine, iCloud email - yep works just fine, etc. etc. etc. all work fine using the same PW, ie. the Apple PW i have always used.

Likely nothing to do with your OS or which computer you are using but which domains you are sending from and which domains you are sending to.

"sending MTA's poor reputation" (MTA stands for Message Transfer Agent) basically means where you are attempting to send from has a reputation for being a spammer.

Check out your mail domain and sending IPs at mxtoolbox.com and senderbase.com and see what they have to say.

Also, it is entirely possible to have a domain with multiple Outbound Email IP addresses and have only a subset with a bad rap. This would make the issue appear intermittent and random if your emails are being sent out from different IPs round robin style.
