Outgoing Server (SMTP):
Description: 
Servername: smtp.att.yahoo.com
port: 465
Username: 
  [note: make sure it is the full email address, not just a "username">
Authentication Method: Normal Password
Connection Security: SSL/TLS

works for me.

Still no luck.  Even called ATT to see if they might have an answer.  NO

I have att=yahoo also but have SM1117, win XP.
Make sure SSL is checked for outgoing.
My settings are the same as yours.
ATT help is useless.  They dont have a clue about server settings.

It has nothing to do with a virus at all, in all versions

*copy_complete* that happens also in 2.01b, with attachments

Interesting reading. The authors seem to assume a reader with two

 From where I sit, the advice is not helpful because a) I don't use 
Outlook, so I don't care if my AV program corrupts its mail stores (in 
15 years of full-time computing, it's never corrupted any mailbox in 
Netscape, Mozilla, or SeaMonkey)


The article mention Outlook just as an example ...

My AV program did not corrupt my mails but when it was checking incoming 
mails  it appears that for a certain mail ... the download process 
is stopped ... forever ... evenwhile after rebooting the machine. The 
only way to get off this problem was to disable mail-checking by my AV.

Now, i live with a good AV ... but avoiding to check mails.

Perhaps that GData Antivirus was not able to check an outgoing mail

Anyway, stop checking what's outgoing ... just check the inputs ...

Are you so sure?

Is it not possible that his machine could have a Trojan of some sort

I've seen this happen. This is one of the reasons why some virus
scanners check outgoing e-mail messages.

I realize it's easy to assume that virus checker software is always 100%

It's always a matter of percentages. The more you do, the better the

I'm interested in this problem.

I don't recall what was changed back then since it's been quite a while.
But I know Antivirus scanners can be a pain in the a... though I mostly
know of problems retrieving messages.

I'm afraid SM 1.1.* has still those non-specific messages (it should be
much better in SM 2) but pasting here the exact words might help more
than "smtp server error".

Most helpful would be a SMTP-Log from such a send attempt.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging#Windows gives instructions how
to create one. If you want to go that way, please send it to me by mail,
not to the group.

Bye,
Christian

I've never placed that much importance on scanning
outgoing mail. If outgoing mail has a virus you have
bigger problems. How did it get there in the first
place and why didn't the anti-virus program detect
it when it arrived?



You have mistaken me. There is no virus in the attachement! But when
GData tries to scan for infections, Seamonkey doesn't send the mail.


I have not mistaken you. You have said that there is no
problem when scanning of outbound mail is turned off. I
said that I don't see the importance of scanning outbound
mail. The way I look at it, the solution is simple. Turn
off the scanning of outbound mail. The attachments got on
the computer somehow. Why should they be scanned twice?

I said "If your outbound email has a virus you have bigger
problems". If that were the case it would lead me to believe
that the anti-virus program didn't do its job when the
virus got into the computer. Why would you trust it to catch
something on the way out that it didn't catch on the way in?



It has nothing to do with a virus at all, in all versions
seamonkey and as I tested it now on Fedora 11 with XP on the
same disk, it happens always: /seamonkey/ keeps on saying
*copy_complete* that happens also in 2.01b, with attachments
>5 Mbyte or so. Chapeau, I am running
the dutch version of 2.01b and it runs just as well very good.
Oh, I forgot to say that there is nothing wrong with your
attachment it copies it completely.

You said:

Perhaps that GData Antivirus was not able to check an outgoing mail whne 
sent by the "old mozilla" ...


Anyway, stop checking what's outgoing ... just check the inputs ...
If you don't have an infected file reaching your computer, you cannot 
send one.
