 |
|
Hello all,
I have a normal yahoo account that I want to send mails using it via sstmp, here is my config:
| Code: | #
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < MinUserId
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=******@yahoo.com
# All mail delivered to userid >= MinUserId goes to user, not root.
#MinUserId=1000
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and your mailhub is so named.
mailhub=smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
# Example for SMTP port number 2525
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:2525
# Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC)
# mailhub=mail.your.domain
# Example for SSL encrypted connection
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:465
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=
# The full hostname
# Gentoo bug #47562
# Commenting the following line will force ssmtp to figure
# out the hostname itself.
# hostname=_HOSTNAME_
# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
#FromLineOverride=YES
# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
#UseTLS=YES
# Use SSL/TLS certificate to authenticate against smtp host.
#UseTLSCert=YES
# Use this RSA certificate.
#TLSCert=/etc/ssl/certs/ssmtp.pem
# Get enhanced (*really* enhanced) debugging information in the logs
# If you want to have debugging of the config file parsing, move this option
# to the top of the config file and uncomment
#Debug=YES
AuthUser=******
AuthPass=******
UseSTARTTLS=YES
|
but when I try to send a mail, I get this:
| Code: | ssmtp ******@yahoo.com< msg.txt
ssmtp: Cannot open smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465 |
any idea why? cannot connect? has any got this to work with yahoo?

You need a Plus account which currently costs $19.99 a year. Then use,
plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
Then you'll need,
UseTLS=YES
Comment out (or delete)
#UseSTARTTLS=YES

I'm not going to pay for that, the value isn't worth it.
I've managed to make it work with GMX.

It's worth it for me. Glad you found a solution.
