Hi all....

Our company use yahoo business mail server for our corporate mails. I know that I can configure database mail with SMTP. But when I try to configure database mail account with yahoo bizmail, I cannot do that. It gets configured but when I test it it doesn't send any mails. Do I need to have any special condiguration for this. SMTP address is smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com. Also I have specified the Authentication using my user name and password. Please help

Thanks

Rajesh

yes. In outlook configuration we specify smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com for outgoing mail server and it's working fine.

1. Created the database mail profile
2. Added new database mail account with Server name as "smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com" and Port number as 25. Then SMTP Authentication as basic authentication where I specified User name : yahoo user name and Password : yahoo password

Confiuration succeeds without any error. But no mail received after sending test mail.

Thanks for your support....
