Yahoo mail SMTP setting - with Yahoo Hosting

HI

my mail server was host in yahoo. and the shopping cart will host on my personal server, i need some setting help

i support i need smtpauth, and this is my setting, seem it is not working any idea:

SMTP Email Account Mailbox [email protected]
SMTP Email Account Password mypasswd
SMTP Email Mail Host smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com.
SMTP Email Mail Server Port 24 or 25

my server port out was 24

my domain name is tailor-hk.com

and i correct using smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com.

thks

regarding the mail setup, here's what i learned when installing the phpBB.
am not sure if it applies in zencart, but hope it helps:

as for the mail setup, i suppose you could use the local mail function instead of specifying an smtp as long as the domain is registered with yahoo. yahoo allows a limited email address sent using the phpmail function per day. as long as the domain set for your admin address is the one you're registering with yahoo, then no need to set smtp. (again, this is the case i faced when setting up the phpBB)

and it seems that you're running on a Yahoo! Webhosting, maybe you can help me out.

i have copied all files to my yahoo account in a 'zen' directory.
installed it and got the congratulationary message.
problem is it shows only blank screen after i finish installing, both for the store and admin.

can you please explain me how you get it run on yahoo?
is it working without .htaccess?

thanks,
-harry

You need to set your port to 587 to host on yahoo's site and use their SMTP Service. I found this out when looking for a simular solution for PHPBB. here is the original forum post that helped me.

Just a Heads Up for Yahoo Hosting Users

I also am using Yahoo hosting and am trying to setup SMTP with zen cart, but have had no luck.

SMTP Email Mail Server Port 587

I spoke with Yahoo support and they assured me I had entered the correct smtp settings.

I try to use the send email function through the admin tools and am getting the following error:

Error ERROR: Failed sending email to: "John Smith" with subject: "Test message" SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
Success Notice: Email sent to: All Customers (1)

So... it gives me the SMTP error and then says the email was sent.
I never receive the email, but I can see that the email message was placed in the email_archive database... what does this mean?

Does anybody have any ideas as to why the email is not getting sent?

Have you tried using "SMTPAUTH" instead of "SMTP" mode? If you don't, then it doesn't send the password when attempting to talk to yahoo ... which is likely your problem.

You might also refer to this: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_-_Email_Problems#Yahoo_Hosting

I had already seen that link :(

I have the following set now:
E-Mail Transport Method smtpauth
Emails must send from known domain? Yes
SMTP Email Account Mailbox [email protected]
SMTP Email Mail Host smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP Email Mail Server Port 25

I also tried ports: 587 and 465.

and I still get the same error message... not sure why. Has anyone experienced this? We are trying to go live and this is in the way :(

justYaz5:

SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
In simple terms, that means that when your webserver attempted to open an SMTP connection to the SMTP mailserver specified in your settings, it wasn't allowed to connect.
That could be caused by:

• wrong server address ("SMTP Mail Host")
• wrong SMTP username/password (ie: refused because it's typed wrong or doesn't even exist on the server indicated by the server/host address in your settings)
• wrong SMTP port
• any combination of the above
• blocked port in your host's firewall (unlikely, but possible nonetheless)

ok... I figured out the problem why my email is not getting sent through zen cart and yahoo hosting. I have the following setup:

E-Mail Transport Method smtpauth
Email Address (sent FROM) [email protected]
Emails must send from known domain? No
SMTP Email Account Mailbox [email protected]
SMTP Email Account Password **********
SMTP Email Mail Host smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com
SMTP Email Mail Server Port 587

I am able to SUCCESSFULLY send mail when accessing the site through HTTP, but when accessing it with SSL (HTTPS) it says unable to connect to SMTP host... knowing this I changed the port to 465 and it doesn't work for HTTP or HTTPS.

Anyone setup zen cart with ssl and yahoo hosting and able to send email??
This is very crucial.

Thanks!!!

Have your read any of the other threads about your hosting?

I have read as many as I could find. Was there one in particular you knew of pertaining to sending mail from yahoo hosting smtp auth SSL zen cart?

Zen Cart doesn't do anything different with email when running from SSL mode vs non-SSL mode.

I suggest you ask Yahoo why that would be a problem.
