How to send autogenerated mail from yahoo
To send an auto-generated email from Yahoo, you'll need to use Yahoo's SMTP server and follow these steps:
Prerequisites:
- You have a Yahoo account with a valid email address.
- You have a script or program that can send emails using SMTP.
Step 1: Enable Less Secure Apps
To allow your script to send emails from your Yahoo account, you need to enable "Less Secure Apps" in your Yahoo account settings. Here's how:
- Sign in to your Yahoo account.
- Click on your profile picture or avatar in the top right corner, then select "Account info" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Account security" section.
- Click on "Less secure apps" and toggle the switch to "On".
Step 2: Set up Yahoo SMTP Server
You'll need to configure your script to use Yahoo's SMTP server. Here are the settings:
- Server:
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- Port:
587
(or25
for non-SSL connections) - Username: Your Yahoo email address (e.g.,
[email protected]
) - Password: Your Yahoo email password
- From address: Your Yahoo email address (e.g.,
[email protected]
) - Authentication: Use your Yahoo email address and password for authentication
Step 3: Write your script
Using your preferred programming language, write a script that can send emails using the Yahoo SMTP server. Here's an example in Python using the smtplib
library:
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
# Set up the SMTP server
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mail.yahoo.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login('[email protected]', 'your_email_password')
# Set up the email message
msg = MIMEText('Hello, this is an auto-generated email!')
msg['Subject'] = 'Auto-generated email'
msg['From'] = '[email protected]'
msg['To'] = '[email protected]'
# Send the email
server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', msg.as_string())
server.quit()
Step 4: Run your script
Run your script to send the auto-generated email. Make sure to replace the placeholders ([email protected]
, your_email_password
, [email protected]
) with your actual Yahoo email address, password, and the recipient's email address.
That's it! Your script should now be able to send auto-generated emails from your Yahoo account.
