Subject: [LUG] Yahoo Mail


Not having a static internet address or domain, I use a freebie Yahoo
account 
and collect spam free mail from Yahoo via POP3 on my own network.

My question is, does anyone know if I can send mail to the Yahoo mail server

using Postfix, (assuming authorisation, password etc is all set-up).

I have been told that it can be done using Thunderbird, but my setup dosn't 
allow this.

On my first attempt the Yahoo server said "connection dropped without SMTP 
greeting"

Cheers...........Simon.

I believe you have to go into settings on the yahoo web mail client side as
well to tell it to allow sending/receiving mail from an external source.

If not even if the name & passwords are correct it will still fail.
