Re: Strange SMTP problems.
I have found that it's no problem to get Port 25 unblocked if you ask. If you are running a lot of addresses, including temp ones, it may be the easier fix.
Or, they may make you "verify" anyhow.

About unblocking port 25, if you try to deliver mail directly from a dynamic dsl address almost all ISPs will reject it as spam outright.

I edited my one reply above to reflect that.
As far as the verification, I just send a test message and it went through (according to the logs) WITHOUT me verifying anything, so it seems to give the error intermittently. |

It worked for me - you got the email and responded to it by clicking the link?
They actually may have made me do something once I got back to the verification page too - I don't remember.
It really is clumsy and a pain in the butt. I would go back to the email, click the link again, and make sure I'm doing everything they friggin tell me to.
You may have to go back into the "Yahoo! alternate email addresses" page - I dunno.
But it certainly is dumb. The rejected mail sent on port 25 must be fairly new - i haven't encountered it before.
Anyhow, keep on trying with the verification thing - it took me a couple of tires, but it is now working fine.
