Cant Send Email Using Shared Services and Yahoo

Hi,

I went through the steps to set up an email alert using Shared Services but whenever I try to send the test email, first the log reads email sent but then an error quickly appears in the log stating that the SSL certificate cannot be validated.

I am using a Yahoo! email address and I’ve tried so many “solutions” that I don’t know what to do next. Seems like such a simple problem but I dont have any more ideas. Anyone been through this?

I have tried to send the test mail and:

  1. Used the default Yahoo mail protocols when I set up Shared Services
  2. Checked the port number, 587
  3. Disabled VPN and firewall completely
  4. Generated and used the 3rd party app password now required by Yahoo
  5. Also tried my true yahoo password
  6. Used the same device name that I used to create the 3rd party password
  7. Tried to send email to different email addresses
  8. Used a non-Yahoo email address to set up Share Services and do everything above again…

same error appears.
