Sending thru Yahoo dont seem to work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I dont know if this is the right place to post this. But.... there is also a 
program called ssmtp 
which is like a slimmed down sendmail (it only sends smail and not receive so 
its perfect for this 
purpose). It supports SSL and MD5 and written in plain old C language. Maybe 
you guys can 
"borrow" some code from ssmtp so that you can add SSL and MD5 to skpsmtpmessage.

By the way I downloaded your code and ran it on my iphone, it cant seem to send 
any e-mails 
thru my yahoo account, but it does work thru my local  ISP. I set 
testMsg.relayHost=@"smtp.mail.yahoo.com" but it always fail with invalid 
password or something 
like that even though I have the right login and password on there. see console 
log below.

Has anybody tried sending mail thru yahoo with this program?

    testMsg.fromEmail = @"mylogin@yahoo.com";
    testMsg.toEmail =   @"mylogin@yahoo.com";
    testMsg.relayHost = @"smtp.mail.yahoo.com";
    testMsg.requiresAuth = YES;
    testMsg.login = @"mylogin";
    testMsg.pass = @"mypassword";
    testMsg.subject = @"test message";
    testMsg.wantsSecure = NO; // I tried both YES and NO, neither works

Log follows:

Has anyone had success in determining the cause of this issue?

Something that may be worth mentioning, I set up my Yahoo account on my iPhone, 
and 
took a look at the outgoing mail server settings that it used to authenticate.  
While 
every other email account on my phone is set up on port 587, Yahoo uses port 0, 
SSL 
set to off.  Perhaps try sending through port 0 with wantsSecure=NO?

drop.

Upon doing some research, it looks like Yahoo! does not allow SMTP relaying 
through 
their free email accounts, only through the paid Plus accounts.  So this 
problem is 
highly unlikely to be "fixed" (circumnavigated would probably be a better word) 
since 
it's not an issue with the code itself.

I get this to work fine for Comcast.net. But it only works on the Simulator. 
Went I 
install the app on my iPhone, no emails go out. ??????

Anybody know how to get the users email account details from settings, in order 
to send the email?
