The solution was actually posted at:
»qiaoyang.blogspot.com/2007/08/se···hoo.html

Some useful info missing is this link is that instead of editing the relay port directly in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf you can add the following line in /etc/mail/my.site.com.mc:
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 2525')

Also from the link... I would still like to know what to write in /etc/mail/my.site.com.mc so I don't actually have to comment out the sendmail.cf file that reads:
R $* $@ $2 delete local host

Another thing that was misleading from the link is that you can't make comments with:
! #

You should just use:
#

Also, my auth info for relay used root at the username. ie):
AuthInfo: "U:root" "I:myname@sbcglobal.net" "P:xxxxxx" "M:LOGIN PLAIN"

Also, because I had to edit the sendmail.cf file directly... From [/etc/mail] I had to do:
1. make all install restart
2. manually edit sendmail.cf to comment out the line mentioned above.
3. make restart

Aside from this last part the stunnel configuration was very confusing... I created folders and changed directories from the default configuration... ie) It does NOT work out of the box. Here are some of the commands I used to help configure:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel restart
vi /var/log/messages
vi /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel
vi /etc/rc.conf
ps aux |grep stunnel
netstat -na |grep LIST

And in stunnel.conf

I am already able to send email with Thunderbird and Outlook Express 6 successfully after "verifying email addresses with my ISP" See:
»help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/o···-07.html

Error message from that was:
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'user@site.com'.

Outgoing mail settings that worked were:
MemberID@sbcglobal.net
MemberPassword
smtp.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail port #: 465, secure connection (SSL) checked

However, I am still unable to send email on my Freebsd box with Sendmail or Stunnel.

Here is what I get:

ATT Uverse and Outgoing Mail and FreeBSD

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 23:56:41 EDT

vask posted : I have already asked this question at experts-exchange.com but have not been having much luck... so here it goes...

Recently my ISP was switched to ATT UVERSE from the original SBC Yahoo DSL and I am having difficulty getting outgoing emails working from my webserver. Incoming emails seem to work fine as well as a HTTP hosting/SSH/etc... Everything worked perfectly before the switch...

Basically my setup is same as here:
»www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/fre···ail.html

And here:
»rajasuperman.blogspot.com/2006/0···946.html

----

But ONLY things I really changed since the switch was smtp.sbcglobal.net to smtp.att.yahoo.com

1. Edited 1 line in /etc/mail/auth/client-info
AuthInfo:smtp.att.yahoo.com "U:root" "I:USER@sbcglobal.net" "P:PASSWORD"

2. Edited 1 line in /etc/mail/freebsd.mc
define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.att.yahoo.com')dnl

make all install restart

How do I get my outgoing emails working again? What do I need to do?

Perhaps the problem is I just don't know how to configure things correctly.

It seems like the following config should work:

MemberID@sbcglobal.net
smtp.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail port #: 465, secure connection (SSL) checked (This is different from before )

I have also looked at the following post on DSL Reports but I am not sure if I need stunnel for a solution. See:
