trying to set up with att as isp

I am embarrassed to say that the missing dot was my problem.  I lost more than a few hours because of it.

 

Thanks for pointing it out.

Have a look at the previous thread re smtp problem, particularly the post by idw.

syslog file does not contain information necessary to debug this problem. It is useful but not for this purpose.

Go to Tools, Internet options and check the block the create session log. The real story will be contained in tcp*.wpm files which detail every byte in and out or conversation with the server. Please read and use carefully and heed the warnings and also the warnings along with the -z -32 description of Help, Commandline options too. Be sure to not send any copy or whole file without user name and password deleted or obscured.

There are a number of complaints about failure to connect or setup problems with Yahoo servers for SMTP recently. I have no personal experience with connect to Yahoo.

When done creating log return to uncheck the block to not create further logs as they get very large very fast as well as being a security danger stored on drive if machine is not in secure environment.

I not that in your sylog examle the address used is not  properly formatted. Check again and see if maybe it might work better with a dot before the top domain as in .com following alhatten. The From was ok but not the To entry.
