Hi Cesar, Thanks for all of your efforts.
Unfortunately though, I still can't send email via my Yahoo account, even with your patch. I made two attempts, and here's the results: Attempt #1: ======== >> send [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This is a test, Bernie." connecting to: smtp.prodigy.yahoo.com As you can see, Rebol reported no errors, but the message was never delivered. I normally use the email scanning feature of my AVG anti-virus program when sending or receiving emails, and in this case it was turned on. AVG sent me this report: "This is the AVG E-mail Scanner program. I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned below could not be delivered to one or more destinations. ------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]: authentication required" Attempt #2: ======== >> send [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This is a test, Bernie." connecting to: smtp.prodigy.yahoo.com ** User Error: Server error: tcp 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbc/dsl/mail/pop/pop-11.html For this case, I turned the AVG email scanner off, so I didn't get any AVG messages, but this time I did get a Rebol error message, as shown above. To the best of my knowledge, my set-net user data has been set up correctly, but just in case it isn't, here's what I'm currently using in my user.r: set-net [EMAIL PROTECTED] "smtp.prodigy.yahoo.com" "pop.prodigy.yahoo.com" none none none "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "********"] ; Pwd is in "*"s > You or someone think that this must be reported via RAMBO? or is sufficient > with this email? Yes, I do think that the problem should be reported via RAMBO. The problems with SEND really need to be fixed. RT heavily advertises the ease with which emails may be sent via Rebol's SEND function. If potential users try it out, and it doesn't work, then they may give up on Rebol forever, and that would be very sad. I've already reported this issue via feedback about a month ago (Feedback: #56p942580), but I can't find my report in the RAMBO database. RT's response was to suggest that I ask for help here on this ML, and although many of you have tried to help, I'm still not able to successfully use the SEND function. Best regards, Bernie Schneider The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often and sometimes frightened.
