#3 sending does not work

[Anonymous]

I get the following error message when I am trying to use sendymail. Problem with the new yahoo mail?

I switched back to yahoo mail classic interface and it still does not work, although now I get a different error message:

Basic sending works, didn't test attachments and all the other options yet.

BTW, is this project still actively developed?
