Any reason you are using SSL? I'd use 587, authentication on....

However.

Can be corruption in Outlook, or have you got a syntax error? Non-standard characters - spaces etc in anything?

1266571 2012-03-23 20:41:00 That error code means the SMTP mail server requires authentication and isn't getting it, the att.yahoo run from secure setting (SSL)

The problem can be something not ticked correctly in the security setting.


Have a read of answers.yahoo (answers.yahoo.com) The actual setting are advised in the first answer.
