I'm the Earthlink customer. Earthlink works fine for relaying mail, it's Yahoo that won't allow me to do smtp relaying. I only use telnet over the smtp port to see if relaying is available. At least this is what I concluded after reading the part about email in the Complete FreeBSD. Any suggestions on what would give a host not found when attempting to send mail out to an smtp.mail.yahoo.com server. I get an IP when I ping and nslookup on the address... Non-authoritative answer: Name: smtp.mail.vip.sc5.yahoo.com Address: 216.136.173.12 Aliases: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Someone else on the list is using Yahoo for the relay. Any suggestions on what to try next are welcome.
