Emails getting returned with error message: 553 From: address not verified

[kmaclean]

Some emails not getting delivered immediately from WebGUI, then after a time they get sent. Not sure what has changed at Rogers/Yahoo?.

They get returned with this message:

WebGUI's post.pm script sets the from address as follows:

=head2 notifySubscribers ( )

Send notifications to the thread and forum subscribers that a new post has been made.

        $mail->addHtml($message);
        $mail->addFooter;
        $mail->queue;
    }
}

may need to change this line:

my $from = $posterAddress

$listAddress

$companyAddress;

to point to an address that is verified by Yahoo's smtp servers

others are experiencing the same type of error:

• ​Rogers Communications and Error 0×800CCC78

[kmaclean]

​this might be a solution:

Had the same problem starting tonight (Feb 11th), went to the link suggested in the error message but it was useless.

I found I had to press the "Options" link in upper right of the Yahoo Mail Classic screen, the "Mail Addresses" under "Management" on the next screen and then "Add" a mail account. I wasn't asked to verify anything but now my send works again.

added contacts@… to my yahoo/rogers mail account (using classic mode) ... see if this fixes the problem

[kmaclean]

should read:

added contact@… to my yahoo/rogers mail

[kmaclean]

the above-noted changes seem to have fixed the problem - no more bounced emails
