Yahoo/ATT/Bellsouth requires TLS before they offer AUTH. Test with openssl rather than telnet. # openssl s_client -connect smtp.att.yahoo.com:25 -starttls smtp (... ssl handshake output redacted ...) ehlo host.example.com 250-smtp.att.yahoo.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 41697280 250-8 BITMIME 250 AUTH PLAIN LOGIN XYMCOOKIE quit 221 2.0.0 Bye Verify postfix is using TLS by setting in main.cf: smtp_tls_loglevel = 1 which will log a "TLS connection established" line. -- Noel Jones -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS6YnYAAoJEJGRUHb5Oh6g1z0IALlZxTUFj0uYvTqbWIpQfrnI 00pDsgYmqF/IP430LEQnqJVxIIftyu770yt1H3J2qBWDe7hiXRBAKB/kMzWU1zD4 d8EFCE3MnWt/8Ia1AG444JxuB21E7LBisX0SGO9+kIekW8HaYS3P7S7RlZX9vMjJ 7/RdNdPJ6x8WxUbjNzfK0NXG71UFwWFrPTS96GEcXPV6rMCqeY/BintzEIcaceH+ qh+6fLUm8D6M+KcewSMwWzPkSQINxRol48PVysAwdGraqCgb3D7WwCNNKFagXv7T RZGQgBJa/z85wCVazAbPtEZbw6JQpjw7zUk45m4XM5MkPolJKUnAidQZurWANuQ= =++sd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
