I am running an answering machine program from ezsofttek.com. In order to receive email notification when I receive a call I need the outgoing smtp and port # for Yahoo. I got it to work with my web site email but not Yahoo. I Yahoo'd it and set the outgoing address as smtp.mail.yahoo.com with ports 25, 26 and 587. I also set up the My Server Requires Authentication My Server Requires Authentication and used my Yahoo username and login and no luck. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I don't think Yahoo will allow you to use their SMTP server with a free account. Why not just use your website's email server?
