| ATT Uverse and Outgoing Mail and FreeBSD
I have already asked this question at experts-exchange.com but have not been having much luck... so here it goes...
Recently my ISP was switched to ATT UVERSE from the original SBC Yahoo DSL and I am having difficulty getting outgoing emails working from my webserver. Incoming emails seem to work fine as well as a HTTP hosting/SSH/etc... Everything worked perfectly before the switch...
Basically my setup is same as here:
»www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/fre···ail.html
And here:
»rajasuperman.blogspot.com/2006/0···946.html
----
But ONLY things I really changed since the switch was smtp.sbcglobal.net to smtp.att.yahoo.com
1. Edited 1 line in /etc/mail/auth/client-info
AuthInfo:smtp.att.yahoo.com "U:root" "I:USER@sbcglobal.net" "P:PASSWORD"
2. Edited 1 line in /etc/mail/freebsd.mc
define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.att.yahoo.com')dnl
make all install restart

How do I get my outgoing emails working again? What do I need to do?
Perhaps the problem is I just don't know how to configure things correctly.
It seems like the following config should work:
MemberID@sbcglobal.net
smtp.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail port #: 465, secure connection (SSL) checked (This is different from before )
I have also looked at the following post on DSL Reports but I am not sure if I need stunnel for a solution. See:
»U-Verse SMTP Inbound and Relay

| It looks like it might be being blocked by a firewall since it is timing out (from the error message) what do you get when you nmap smtp.att.yahoo.com? Do you see port 465 as being open?
Here is what I get:

Chugging along on 2x 6016/768k DSL Extreme DSL lines and one 6016/768 ATT DSL DIrect line as well as one 16mb/2mb Charter cable line for a combined total of just over 32 meg download and 3 meg up (after overhead). yay! | |

I am already able to send email with Thunderbird and Outlook Express 6 successfully after "verifying email addresses with my ISP" See:
»help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/o···-07.html
Error message from that was:
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'user@site.com'. Subject '5:26', Account: 'site.com', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 From: address not verified; see »help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/o···-07.html', Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
Outgoing mail settings that worked were:
MemberID@sbcglobal.net
MemberPassword
smtp.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail port #: 465, secure connection (SSL) checked
However, I am still unable to send email on my Freebsd box with Sendmail or Stunnel. | |

| Looks like Outgoing SMTP mail works with stunnel now on FreeBSD...

The solution was actually posted at:
»qiaoyang.blogspot.com/2007/08/se···hoo.html
Some useful info missing is this link is that instead of editing the relay port directly in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf you can add the following line in /etc/mail/my.site.com.mc:
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 2525')
Also from the link... I would still like to know what to write in /etc/mail/my.site.com.mc so I don't actually have to comment out the sendmail.cf file that reads:
R $* $@ $2 delete local host
Another thing that was misleading from the link is that you can't make comments with:
! #
You should just use:
#
Also, my auth info for relay used root at the username. ie):
AuthInfo: "U:root" "I:myname@sbcglobal.net" "P:xxxxxx" "M:LOGIN PLAIN"
Also, because I had to edit the sendmail.cf file directly... From [/etc/mail] I had to do:
1. make all install restart
2. manually edit sendmail.cf to comment out the line mentioned above.
3. make restart
Aside from this last part the stunnel configuration was very confusing... I created folders and changed directories from the default configuration... ie) It does NOT work out of the box. Here are some of the commands I used to help configure:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel restart
vi /var/log/messages
vi /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel
vi /etc/rc.conf
ps aux |grep stunnel
netstat -na |grep LIST
And in stunnel.conf
