Re: [mh] Command line email - sendmail?

Surely your ISP allows port 25 our from you to at least their designated relay server for their customers. All ISP's have one, if they have customers.

Hay Jim.

Looks like SSL is your only choice. You could configure your MTA to relay for you using SSL but it sounds like you need a simpler solution.

?http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/att/smallbusiness/bizmail/pop/pop-33.html

? Attached is a patch to handy_net_utilities.pl to support ssl

 you will need to already have or install Net::SMTP::SSL ?

       > perl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan[1]> install Net::SMTP::SSL


 I did some testing on it but I can only test so much as I do not have a att.yahoo account.


 /bin/send_email should also be updated to reflect the new options in the mh.private.ini as well as changes in other places.

Adding the configuration lines below to your private ini.

net_mail_test_server_send_port=465
net_mail_test_server_send=smtp.att.yahoo.com
net_mail_test_server_use_ssl=yes

where "test" is the user you have setup already in my case test.

Let me know  how it goes.
