After trying all the solutions shown here, the only thing I was able to get to work was changing the SMTP server info to be:
SMTP Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 467
Use SSL: checked
Authentication: Password
entered user name and password.

This is currently working.

Additional info:
My friend recently received a new DSL modem from ATT. Her previous modem did not handle the PPoE connection, it was done by the iMac. The new modem seems to be handling the PPoE connection and issuing a NAT address to the iMac.

I'm not sure if the cause of the problem is in the modem, or on the ATT/Yahoo SMTP server.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-21706333 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:32:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-21549002 said by eak:

If your using a 3rd party email and wish to use that email's smtp server also, you can. Call AT&T and request to have port 25 opened. After they have confirmed that port 25 is opened you should turn off your dsl modem for no less than 2mins. Turn it back on afterwards and you should be able to send out email using the 3rd party smtp server. If you still cannot send, you should try the smtpauth settings.

Btw, dont forget to check on your firewall settings.

I'm a legacy DSL client who was with SNET, which was then bought by SBC, and I never switched over to SCB Yahoo! DSL (or the current AT&T YAhoo! DSL). I don't actually use my ****@snet.net email address for anything, but I'd been sending outgoing email for my long-term email account on a third-party server via smtp.snet.net. Until last night, that is, when it suddenly stopped working.

Since I'm legacy, I'm not on AT&T Yahoo! DSL, and therefore Yahoo! doesn't recognize my ****@snet address as a valid one, meaning I can't log in and verify an address. Am I therefore just pretty much screwed as far as sending outgoing mail via any of AT&T's current smtp servers? My login/password still works at the AT&T webmail site.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-20461142 Sat, 10 May 2008 11:34:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-20455080 said by mebe :

If you have authenticated and you are still getting 553 errors then you most likely did not authenticate at the right mail site - be aware that all of the Yahoo! and white label Yahoo offshoots LOOK exactly the same - the only difference is the URL. At least that was my solution. I started getting these messages almost three months ago. Since then I have been tearing my hair out because the solution that everyone else was using wasn't working for me. I even tried different email clients thinking it was because I was using Mac Eudora.

And no, it was that originally I saw the yahoo.com message explaining what to do...so I went to my YIM (Yahoo!) mail account, signed in with my yahoo email address and password and filled out all the other domains I needed. Problem solved right? No.

Today, I saw a reference to the fact that it's most likely your DSL server that needs to have the authentication. Doh. So, I typed in att.yahoo.com, signed in with my sbcglobal.net email address and going to the mail screen - up pops an entirely DIFFERENT ui that looks exactly the same as my Yahoo! Mail interface but it says - ATT Yahoo! on the banner. And no emails in that account. Authenticated and problem solved.

This was exactly the problem I was having. I have a Yahoo! account with the login id xxxxxx which is e-mail address xxxxxx@yahoo.com, and I could login to that and do all the verification to no avail. My AT&T DSL account has the user name and e-mail address xxxxxx@sbcglobal.net, and when I logged into att.yahoo.com with that one, the verification worked.

BUT, if the "from" address is not in the ATT domain hierarchy (ameritech, sbcglobal, etc.) the message is sent normally.
That's not entirely accurate in my case. I never use my SBC-issued email address in the FROM field.. it's always a disposable (spamgourmet address) or what I'll call a vanity email address (like myfirstname@mysurname.name). For the first couple weeks since the problem struck, my outbound mail would bounce the first couple times.. and after ~4-5 resends, the SMTP server would eventually accept it.

And in the past couple days, I'm seeing that I cannot even resend to get around it. So the results are not even consistent, which is the worst possible case.

It's way too inconvenient to login to a webpage and register a new email address for every one-time-use disposable email address I craft. I'm changing email providers, BTW.

I really need an SMTP provider I can trust. Suggestions?

From: address not verified; see »help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/o···-07.html

I have done the following:

1. Added work e-mail as a verified e-mail address on my sbc/yahoo e-mail account.

2. Set the outgoing mail preferences to
SMTP Server: smpt.att.yahoo.com (I've tried lots of variations here)
Port: 465
Use SSL
Password authentication
User Name ***@sbcglobal.net
Password *****

3. Wrote to tech support. They suggested something about opting me out of a port 25 filter to let me send e-mail to non-att/yahoo servers. I can't figure out if this could be any help or not. The work e-mail runs off an exchange server, and demands I route messages through somebody else's outgoing mail server (usually the ISP's). Any ideas?

I am now able to send mail about 1 time in 10. Sometimes I'll be able to send a whole bunch of e-mails in a row without trouble, but then I'll go for hours without being able to send anything.

Today, I saw a reference to the fact that it's most likely your DSL server that needs to have the authentication. Doh. So, I typed in att.yahoo.com, signed in with my sbcglobal.net email address and going to the mail screen - up pops an entirely DIFFERENT ui that looks exactly the same as my Yahoo! Mail interface but it says - ATT Yahoo! on the banner. And no emails in that account. Authenticated and problem solved.

So, make sure that you're logging in to the right mail account to authenticate. It needs to be the account your DSL runs off of not your YIM or other accounts. It's very easy to miss...I'm an IT person who has been all over the web trying to figure it out. Very happy to see it leave after 2 1/2 months! Fascinating how poor the instructions are at solving this issue that affects so many people.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-20312304 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 03:56:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-20308595 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-20308595 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 14:14:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-20295618 said by dvldog11 :

That worked after hours of work.

Instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com

Change it to: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Keep port 465 and SSl.

Worked like a charm first time.

That trick worked for me all last week, but it stopped working this morning. Perhaps Yahoo/AT&T updated the smtp.mail.yahoo.com server last night.

(I tried to post earlier, but my account was marked inactive so I had to reregister which took a little extra time.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problem-Sending-Mail-and-the-solution-20295618 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 09:11:54 EDT
