Hi all,

pop.mail.yahoo.ca was rejecting my login while back, but I was able to generate "password" at Yahoo site, and got Fetchmail working again. Now, smtp.mail.yahoo.ca, which I've been using as my outgoing server (SMART_HOST in Sendmail speak), is also rejecting my connection:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<talk@gtalug.org>
    (reason: 554 Email rejected)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to smtp.mail.yahoo.ca:
>>> MAIL From:<opengeometry@yahoo.ca> SIZE=865 AUTH=<>
<<< 554 Email rejected

554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

The solution that worked for Fetchmail is not working for Sendmail. I guess, it's time for upgrade to Postfix. But, I suspect, I'll have the same problem.

So, bigger question for you guys...

- How do you send out email? via Postfix/Sendmail? Or, via Thunderbird?

- How do you read your emails? via Fetchmail/Mutt? Or, via Thunderbird?
