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:

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?
Are you using these settings: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/pop-access-settings-instructions-yahoo-mail-sln472... So definitely using authentication and ssl or tls. -- Len Sorensen
