SMTP questions and answers, the place to find all the most common SMTP questions.
Sending an email seems effortless: you compose a message, press send, and bam! It arrives in the recipient’s inbox. But under the hood, a complex dance of protocols takes place, with the unsung hero being the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). As an IT expert, I’m here to unveil the magic behind SMTP and how it orchestrates email delivery seamlessly.
Re-login session expire message in Yahoo Mail ??? …
Why have I been receiving this particular message for the past 2 weeks, every now & then, when clicking on the subject line, so as to open the mail ???
The message would've made sense if I'd logged-in on my account & stayed inactive for long (i.e. not using it) but this happens EVEN THOUGH, I only log-in to my account ???
The Entire message is:
*****************************
Your login session has expired.
Why does my session expire?
Login sessions expire for two reasons.
1. For your security, your Yahoo! Mail session expires a maximum of twenty-four hours after you have logged in. ……………….
2. If you do not accept the cookies …………
Re-login to Yahoo! Mail
*****************************
Even if I click this very last link, I still come across the same message over & over again, regardless of whether I try opening the Inbox mails or the mails in Bulk folder ???
I tried using "stetrevor" recommendation, but I keep on getting asked for entering my "password".
In Microsoft Outlook, after setting everything as recommended by this user, I'm CONSTANTLY over & over again receiving a window labelled "Enter Network Password". I type it & press OK, it reappears & continues as such.
What do I need to provide Outlook to use as my incoming and outgoing mail server? … I cannot get Outlook to work. I am using my correct Yahoo ID and password, but it's telling me it's not correct.
For yahoo mail you need upgrade to yahoo mail plus to get
the full pop3 service for access to outlook,incredimail,
thunderbird and others. For more info see the link below.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html
And use the yahoo mail servers address (for yahoo.com address)
* Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 995
* Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication
And for yahoo mail servers address (for yahoo.co.uk address)
* Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
* Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smpt.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Note: Some UK users can get free pop3 it will depend on if your internet service provider has an arrangement with yahoo, you need to check with your isp first.
Graham T above is assuming the question is for the UK, (it could be) but this page is for all English speaking users around the world, and pop3 setting are different for pop3 UK and pop3 .com.

Can I host web server on Cox Residential Internet Service? … I try to host web server on Cox Residential Cable. Seems that request package does not reach my server. Are there something wrong?
Thanks,
Cox blocks port 80, 25, and 21 to non-commercial accounts. This is to stop home users from running a HTTP, FTP, or MAIL server form the residence.
You need to reassign the to a new port, and include it on your url.
Instead of http;//www.MySite.com
it will read http;//www.MySite.com:8080 or whatever port you reassign it to.
Check out http://www.dslwebserver.com for complete details.
Also if you have a Dynamic IP address you will need a site that will assist is Dynamic DNS forwarding. I like http://www.NO-IP.com but there many Dynamic DNS services out there. NO-IP is a free service.

Byethost email problem? … I have just started a sample website where I am trying to learn some php and other skills. I tried to make a sample registration form found over here http://matfar92.byethost7.com/register.php with the aim to send a confirmation email. I am using the mail () function of php.
My problem is not the code, but the email settings. It seems that byethost (being a free host plan for me) does not have any emails. I tried registering with another zillion (ok not zillion) web hosts, but I still like byethost and I am quite comfortable with it. Is there some way by which I can send an email from a php script? for example, can I use my hotmail email to send the 'confirmation mail'?
Many sites I searched tell you to modify some settings but I have no idea whatsoever :/ I am really new in this sector.
I really appreciate some hints or maybe some code to tell me how to send an email from my hotmail to registered users or how to actually send an email (the code is not the problem I think).
THANK YOU
If you have a domain we recommend that you look into Google Apps http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html as your e-mail provider over our e-mail services on free hosting.
As for PHP Sendmail, if you would like you can use a remote SMTP server for sending your e-mail which operates much faster and has more probability of being received. Many of our users have great success using Google Mail SMTP which is provided free with all gmail.com and Google Apps e-mail accounts.
To configure Gmail you will need to create a Gmail account of course set it for SMTP/POP access:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13273
In your script you should set it for the following and/or similar (varies with each script)…
Use SMTP Server for E-mail: Yes
SMTP Server Address: ssl://smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Server Port: 465
Authentication Method: PLAIN
SMTP username: [Your Gmail or Google Apps E-mail address]
SMTP password: [Your E-mail Account password]

Yahoo do not offer SMTP and POP mail service to free account users. You need to buy Yahoo Mail PLUS service.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
Everybody knows that having a reliable SMTP server is the key to getting your e-mail delivered properly. It's also well known that NOBODY offers SMTP without authentication or for open relay anymore. BUT YOU CAN STILL GET A HIGH QUALITY SMTP SERVER FREE FOR YOUR USE!
