I recently switched to at&t from another isp. At that other isp, my ssmtp setup worked perfectly. With at&t, a similar ssmtp setup (modified appropriately to point to at&t's smtp server) does not work at all.
AT&T told me to use the server smtp.att.yahoo.com and port 465. So my ssmtp.conf file looks like: Debug=YES [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailhub=smtp.att.yahoo.com:465 AuthUser=xxx AuthPass=yyy rewriteDomain=att.net FromLineOverride=YES UseTLS=YES and my revaliases file looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED]:smtp.att.yahoo.com:465 The result of the command mail -v -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] is: [<-] 220 smtp122.sbc.mail.sp1.yahoo.com ESMTP [->] EHLO tobey [<-] 250 8BITMIME [->] AUTH LOGIN [<-] 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 [->] am9obi5ibGlua2E= [<-] 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 [<-] 535 authorization failed (#5.7.0) send-mail: Authorization failed (535 authorization failed (#5.7.0)) Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1 I read somewhere that some people can't get at&t's port 465 to work with ssmtp and that they have used port 587 successfully. Not so for me. Using port 587 (replacing 465 by 587 in ssmtp.conf and revaliases), the result of mail -v -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] is: SSL_connect: Success send-mail: Cannot open smtp.att.yahoo.com:587 Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1 I have no problem at all sending mail to my att.net account from various gmail accounts I use, so I know that my password and username combination functions. I can telnet to smtp.att.yahoo.com at either port 465 or 587 and get a response, so nothing is blocking either port. Any insights or suggestions? John Blinka
