You are attempting to access an SMTP server from off their
domain;
i.e., to the network with the SMTP server, you are off-domain.
You
have not proven that you have rights to use their resources
because
you are not authenticated on their domain. The owner of the
SMTP
server requires you prove you are allowed to use their resources
to
prevent abuse by spammers. In the SMTP setup in your e-mail
client,
authenticate to the SMTP server.

I understand that they don't want me using their server because I
am
not connected to their network. Is there any way around this?

You've been told how by both me and Vince, which was authenticate
to
their SMTP server. Try not using the option to reuse the POP3
login
credentials and instead specify them separately (but specify the
same
ones as for the POP3 login).

Also check with your IT dept. to ensure they are not blocking port
25
(SMTP) traffic from crossing and leaving their domain. They may
not
provide their own SMTP server but maybe they still block access to
an
off-domain SMTP server.

If Yahoo permits a port other than 25 to connect to their SMTP
server,
try that. If off-domain port 25 traffic is blocked by your
network,
maybe they don't block it on other ports supported by Yahoo's SMTP
server.- Hide quoted text -

Yahoo says to use port 465 w/ssl. I have tried that, 25 and 587 w/
no
luck.



Time to show us the actual error message you get when attempting to
send an e-mail. Don't describe it. Show it.

Do you still have an account with AT&T (so you still are authorized to
use their e-mail service)?

Had to guess that what you meant to show was the URL buried the HTML
code that you copied, so I looked at:

You are trying to send a test message. I've never relied on Outlook's
test message since it doesn't fully exercise the POP3/SMTP setup under
a legitimate environment. Send yourself a real message; i.e., send an
e-mail to your own e-mail address and then use the webmail interface
to your account to check that it arrived (unless Outlook yanked it
already).

"Server not found" in the test message means you are not using the
valid IP name or IP address for the SMTP mail host. Since you didn't
send yourself a real message to then show the error dialog and its
message, I don't know to which mail host your Outlook tried to
connect.

The e-mail account defined in Outlook defines to which mail hosts for
POP3 and SMTP that Outlook will connect. Looks like you do not have
valid names specified for the mail hosts.
