Over the last few days Mail.app started refusing to send my emails from any of my email accounts. I use only one smtp server for all the accounts: smtp.att.yahoo.com, on port 25 with non SSL authentication.
The solution that worked for me was to simply replace the "att" in the mail server name with "mail". It seems that some of the machines that are used behind the dns name smtp.att.yahoo.com started having this problem, but not all: the server smtp.mail.yahoo.com is still OK.
Thanks to Steve McGarrett for this solution.
Thanks -- that would explain why I had to hit "send" 4 or 5 times before it worked. So far now it's working every time.

Posted by: anil on May 20, 2009 3:14 AMThe message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'babymatch2009@gmail.com'. Subject 'Re: Moto match - spec', Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. c20sm12867748rvf.40', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
Posted by: Anonymous on May 23, 2009 3:38 AMThanks for the fix! It's sad that Yahoo!/AT&T support can't provide us this information.
Posted by: CDQ on July 24, 2009 7:42 PMYou need to login to your yahoo mail account (with the att email login)
Go to OPTIONS once logged in
Then go to ACCOUNTS
Then ADD OR EDIT ACCOUNTS
then add the email you wish to send and receive from. Follow the instructions for verifying your email address.
The address needs to clear with ATT before you cab send from it. Spam thing.
