Important notes:
- Yahoo Mail uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, so you may need to use a third-party library or service to authenticate with Yahoo Mail's SMTP server.
- Yahoo Mail has strict security policies, so you may need to enable less secure apps or allow less secure apps to access your account in order to use the SMTP server.
- Some email clients or servers may not support Yahoo Mail's SMTP server, so you may need to use a different email provider or service.
Here are some examples of how to configure your email client or server to use Yahoo Mail's SMTP server:
- Gmail: Go to Settings > Accounts > Other (or More settings > Accounts > Other), and enter the SMTP server settings above.
- Outlook: Go to File > Account Settings > Account > More Settings > Outgoing Server, and enter the SMTP server settings above.
- Thunderbird: Go to Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server, and enter the SMTP server settings above.
- Postfix: Edit your
/etc/postfix/main.cf
file and add the following lines:smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination mydestination = [email protected]
Then, restart your Postfix service.
Remember to replace [email protected]
with your actual Yahoo Mail address.
