I am very interested in purchasing this but I can't seem to be able to send mail with it and it appears that it won't send because SSL is deactivated, even though I have it set to be active under settings.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's the log:

The instructions for setting up outgoing mail on this account are:

Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 465, and use authentication
Account name/user name: Your Business Email address
(such as you@widgetdesigns.com)
Email address: Your Business Email address
(such as you@widgetdesigns.com)
Password: Your Business Email password

Can you help?

Thanks!

Have you tried to use TLSv1?

That's not working either. I've tried using it under POP and APOP. Neither works.

I really think it has something to do with SSL being turned off and I can't figure out how to turn it on.

What version of MaxBulk Mailer do you have, Standard or Pro?

Version 8.3.3
Running on MacBook Air Lion
I haven't purchased the software yet because I wanted to make sure it would work first so I'm running the trial version.

Try current 8.3.7 and use the ESMTP authentication scheme. If it doesn't work please paste the connection log here.

I upgraded to 8.3.7
Then tried sending with every version of ESMTP (Plain, Login, and MDS Challenge-Response). Nothing worked. Here are the logs for all 3:

Any ideas??
Thanks for whatever help you can give me. I'd really like this to work

Why are you using port 465? Port 465 is a SSL port. For regular connections omit the port or use 587.

Success! I omitted the port altogether, used ESMTP with Login. At first the connection tried Port 95 and when that didn't respond it tried Port 587 which worked and the message was sent successfully..

Thank you!!
