Unable to Send Through smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com

This started for me a bit earlier today, and it has persisted.

I am having no other troubles with my SBC DSL connection at all (including receiving mail from my other-than-SBC e-mail accounts), but since port 25 is blocked and I can only use SBC's outgoing server, I have been unable to send anyone e-mail for a couple hours now.

smpt.sbcglobal.yahoo.com seems to respond to pings, but my Mac OSX Network Utility is never able to get a result from port scanning smpt.sbcglobal.yahoo.com on TCP25. Thunderbird says the server is refusing connection/not responding (after a very long delay).

Are there alternate SMTP servers I can use with my @sbcglobal.net account?

Same here. Started last night with an error of not being able to receive 2 messages from the server, and today I'm unable to send any outgoing messages. All from my main account, I'm about to try a couple of test messages from my three sub accounts and see if they work.

EDIT: nope, no good. none of the sub accounts can send either. I can only receive.. bummer,

Well I hope this is resolved soon because, I am not going to scrutinize my system anymore because I have changed nothing.:D

And I have some important stuff to be sent:)

But I guess if I have to do it and log on to SBC yahoo to send the stuff so be it but I will be pissed.

Same here. I also cannot send via my mail client using the smtp server for another domain I have. I can use webmail clients, though.

Same here in Cleveland, Oh. I just noticed when I got home this evening. I have 6 e-mails in cue to send, but they won't go through. I can receive though.

I started a separate thread on this problem, with a suggested workaround. See »Is SBC blocking port 25 to SBC/yahoo

What IP address is yours returning? I am having no problem sending, and this is the result of NSLOOKUP:

E:\>nslookup smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: smtp.sbc.mail.yahoo4.akadns.net
Address: 68.142.229.41

Cannot open smtp connection to '68.142.229.41'

This was a confirmed issue with SBC as of a couple of hours ago but is now closed, everything should be working fine. If still not working, try using smtpauth.sbcglobal.net

All I get is

220 AVG ESMTP Proxy Server 7.0.307/7.0.308 [266.9.3]

When I hit return I get

502 Error: Command not implemented

Could AVG be causing my problem?

Try changing your smtp port from 25 to 587. I read this on another forum and it worked.
