Nearly all mail providers require a login.
That is often username/password but it can be things like username/auth-key.
So your mail sender will require the ability to do SMTP-Auth.
After that most providers limit the email sent to be from the email
address you used to login.
I recently moved about 20 email accounts to various providers and that
was all I needed to do to make sure I could send mail.
All the work I did was using Postfix but I am sure you could get the
same result with any other mainstream mail package.

Hi all,
pop.mail.yahoo.ca was rejecting my login while back, but I was able to
generate "password" at Yahoo site, and got Fetchmail working again.
Now, smtp.mail.yahoo.ca, which I've been using as my outgoing server
(SMART_HOST in Sendmail speak), is also rejecting my connection:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[email protected]>
(reason: 554 Email rejected)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to smtp.mail.yahoo.ca:
>>> MAIL From:<[email protected]> SIZE=865 AUTH=<>
<<< 554 Email rejected
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
The solution that worked for Fetchmail is not working for Sendmail. I
guess, it's time for upgrade to Postfix. But, I suspect, I'll have
the same problem.
So, bigger question for you guys...
- How do you send out email? via Postfix/Sendmail? Or, via
Thunderbird?
- How do you read your emails? via Fetchmail/Mutt? Or, via
Thunderbird?
