ATT Yahoo Users must use SSL

[Karen Mac]

ATT/Yahoo isp has blocked port 25 and you must now connect using ssl. This includes several isp like sbcglobal, and several others..

Pacific Bell/Nevada Bell Regions
Southwestern Bell Region
Ameritech Region
SNET Region
Prodigy
Ameritech.net
att.net
flash.net
pacbell.net
sbcglobal.net
nvbell.net
swbell.net
prodigy.net
snet.net
wans.net

And there may be others. To fix, go to each account, from the TOOLS link in the navbar of outlook or outlook express, click on properties, then advanced, on the smtp or (outgoing) click the requires ssl, then change the port to 465.. IN THAT ORDER, or it will revert to port 25, then click apply at the bottom, and now all your outgoing mail will work! DO NOT CHANGE any of the original settings on the first tabs, just the advanced tab.

This should save a few computers from being thrown out the window!

I believe this affects anyone who uses Yahoo mail in conjunction with an isp or paid service...just for the record. That could include alot of people being affected.
