Problem sending via Yahoo

[Lucas Levrel]

Hi,

Since I installed Alpine 2.24 in October I've had no problems reading mail
on Yahoo. I added /auth=xoauth2 to both the inbox path and SMTP server
path. I very rarely send mail under my Yahoo mail address (which I do
through Yahoo SMTP), so I can't guarantee I already did this since
October.

Today I tried to, but it failed with "Error sending: Can not authenticate
to SMTP server: 250 AUTH". I'd be very thankful if I could help. Here is
the relevant part of the journal at debug level 9:

Dear Lucas,

please set up your smtp server as

smtp.mail.yahoo.com/ssl/user=you...@yahoo.com/auth=xoauth2

and see if this works. Please let me know if it does not, and if it does
not, let me know what setting you have it at now, and what setting you
have for your inbox. There is some space in a structure that Alpine holds
for additional servers, besides the ones set up by default, but here is no
interface for you to set them up. Maybe it has come the time to create
such interface.

Thank you.

Hi Eduardo,

It works! I had smtp.mail.yahoo.fr/submit/user=my...@yahoo.fr/auth=xoauth2 .
I changed /submit into /ssl, and also smtp.mail.yahoo.fr into
smtp.mail.yahoo.com (although the first is an alias for the second). I
tried to send, Alpine gave the instructions to retrieve the authentication
code from Yahoo, which I did. Then the sending failed with 421 SMTP
connection broken. I tried again and it worked.

Thanks for your help, quick as always!

P.-S. : at

there's a typo: "smtp-sever".

Fixed it! Thank you!

Hi,

I'm unable to send via Yahoo, once again. This time the error is
"Connection timed out". More precisely, the log is:

=== sending:

Any ideas? (This server replies to ping.)

In my side, my configuration is

smtp.mail.yahoo.com/ssl/user=m...@yahoo.com/auth=xoauth2

and it resolves to

IMAP 08:44:35 7/21 mm_log babble: Trying IP address [74.6.228.44]

Are you configuring Alpine the same way I am?

Yes, I am. I guess it resolves to different servers depending on where one
lives:

> host smtp.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.yahoo.com is an alias for smtp.mail.global.gm0.yahoodns.net.
smtp.mail.global.gm0.yahoodns.net has address 87.248.103.12

> host 87.248.103.12
12.103.248.87.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer smtp-yahoo1.mail-prod1.omega.vip.ir2.yahoo.com.

> host 74.6.228.44
44.228.6.74.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer smtp-yahoo1.mail-prod1.omega.vip.ne1.yahoo.com.


I "hard-coded" 74.6.228.44 in .pinerc, same result (timeout). Both servers
respond to ping.

I live in an english speaking country. Is there a specific smtp setting
for a french speaking country?

Also, I wonder if modifying the setting to

smtp.mail.yahoo.com/submit/user=m...@yahoo.com/auth=xoauth2

will make any difference.

If that does not make any difference. Does connecting to

smtp.mail.yahoo.fr/ssl/user=m...@yahoo.com

work better? (i mean, can you at least connect to that server?)
