Why can't I send mail to Yahoo accounts?

Cant send mail via smtp for yahoo email plus?

  • I anm using Yahoo email plus and thunderbird for my cient software. Starting two days ago, I cannot send email. I get: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Transaction failed : Cannot send message due to possible abuse; please visit http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html for more information. Please check the message and try again. I tried smtp.email.yahoo.com and plus.smtp.email.com at port 465 - but cannot send mail. Incoming mail is working fine with plus.pop.email.com at 110

  • Answer:

    I was able to temporarily get around the issue by changing the message format to send as "Plain Text Only" instead of "Auto Detect" or "HTML". Before sending the message select Options->Format->Plain Text Only from the message toolbar.

I am having the same problem using Thunderbird when trying to send email to a yahoo.com email address. I can send to others like pacbell.net without getting an error. I get the same error message you are getting when trying to send to yahoo.com address. I have been searching Yahoo help, but no answers yet. I tried outbound.att.net at port 465 with SSL security and my password, but it still did not work. Incoming mail is still okay. I can send from inside Yahoo email no problem. I will continue to research this and post an answer if I get one. Just wanted to let you know that someone else is experiencing this problem. KP

Same thing here, same message w/ thunderbird. I'm really getting sick and tired of Rogers. They promise you this and that, never follow though. They are good at raising the price of your bill!!! I guess it's the same BS everywhere nowadays. Companies are only interested in making money, not customer service. Once you're they're customer they don't give a flying f***. Sorry but just my opinion. Have a nice day everyone :)

I'm having the same problem. It started 2 days ago. I can send regular email out, but not forward anything out. Frustrating!

I've just tried changing all my blocked emails to plain text and they all were sent. Even with jpegs attached. At least that's a way to clear your mail. Good luck.
