Hi Mike I do not understand your message :-) See below how I got it BTW folks. I found the reason. It is the way the security is configured in Yahoo. In the security section I allowed receiving messages for "unsafe" apps and it worked flawlessly Thanks anyways Rafael El 04/09/2017 a las 18:24, Mike escribió: > RmlyZXdhbGwgYmxvY2tpbmcgdGhlIHBvcnQocykgeW91IG5lZWQgb24gdGhlIG1hY2hpbmUgdGhh > dCBpcyBmYWlsaW5nP8KgCk1pa2XCoAoKClNlbnQgZnJvbSBteSBTcHJpbnQgU2Ftc3VuZyBHYWxh > eHkgUzcgZWRnZS4KLS0tLS0tLS0gT3JpZ2luYWwgbWVzc2FnZSAtLS0tLS0tLUZyb206IFJhZmFl > bCBDb3BxdWluIDxyYWZhZWwuY29wcXVpbkBnbWFpbC5jb20+IERhdGU6IDkvNC8xNyAgMzo0MyBQ > TSAgKEdNVC0wNjowMCkgVG86IHByb2ZveHRlY2hAbGVhZmUuY29tIFN1YmplY3Q6IFZGUCBhbmQg > Q0RPIGJhbmdpbmcgbXkgaGVhZCBhZ2FpbnN0IHRoZSB3YWxsIApJZiBJIHVzZSBteSBvd24geWFo > b28gcGVyc29uYWwgYWNjb3VudCB0byBzZW5kIHRoaXMgZW1haWwsIF9pdCB3b3JrcyAKYmVhdXRp > ZnVsbHkuXwoKSG93ZXZlciwgSSBoYWQgbXkgY2xpZW50IG9wZW4gYSB5YWhvbyBhY2NvdW50IHNv > IHRoZXkgY2FuIHNlbmQgdGhlaXIgb3duIAplbWFpbHMgZnJvbSBWRlAgYW5kIEkgZ2V0IHRoZSBt > ZXNzYWdlOiBzZXJ2ZXIgdW5hdmFpbGFibGUgb3IgZmFpbGVkIHRvIApjb25uZWN0IHRvIHNlcnZl > ci4KCkkgdHJpZWQgdGhpcyBmcm9tIHRocmVlIGRpZmZlcmVudCBtYWNoaW5lcyB3aXRoIHRoZSBz > YW1lIHJlc3VsdC4KCkFuZCB0aGUgc2FtZSBoYXBwZW5zIHdpdGggZ21haWwuIFRyeWluZyB0byBz > ZW5kIHRoZSBlbWFpbCBmcm9tIGdtYWlsLCAKdXNpbmfCoCBzbXRwLmdtYWlsLmNvbSBmb3IgdGhl > IG91dGdvaW5nIHNlcnZlciwgSSBnZXQgdGhlIHNhbWUgcmVzdWx0LgoKQlRXLCBpdCBiYXJmcyBp > biB0aGUgc2VuZCgpIGxpbmUKCgrCoMKgwqDCoCBsb0NmZyA9IENSRUFURU9CSkVDVCgiQ0RPLkNv > bmZpZ3VyYXRpb24iKQrCoMKgwqDCoCBXSVRIIGxvQ2ZnLkZpZWxkcwouSXRlbSgiaHR0cDovL3Nj > aGVtYXMubWljcm9zb2Z0LmNvbS9jZG8vY29uZmlndXJhdGlvbi9zbXRwc2VydmVyIikgPSAKInNt > dHAubWFpbC55YWhvby5jb20iCi5JdGVtKCJodHRwOi8vc2NoZW1hcy5taWNyb3NvZnQuY29tL2Nk > by9jb25maWd1cmF0aW9uL3NtdHBzZXJ2ZXJwb3J0IikgPSA0NjUKLkl0ZW0oImh0dHA6Ly9zY2hl > bWFzLm1pY3Jvc29mdC5jb20vY2RvL2NvbmZpZ3VyYXRpb24vc2VuZHVzaW5nIikgPSAyCi5JdGVt > KCJodHRwOi8vc2NoZW1hcy5taWNyb3NvZnQuY29tL2Nkby9jb25maWd1cmF0aW9uL3NlbmR1c2Vy > bmFtZSIpID0gCiJteWNsaWVudGFjY291bnRAeWFob28uY29tIgouSXRlbSgiaHR0cDovL3NjaGVt > YXMubWljcm9zb2Z0LmNvbS9jZG8vY29uZmlndXJhdGlvbi9zZW5kcGFzc3dvcmQiKSA9IAoiaGlz > cGFzc3dvcmQiCi5JdGVtKCJodHRwOi8vc2NoZW1hcy5taWNyb3NvZnQuY29tL2Nkby9jb25maWd1 > cmF0aW9uL3NtdHBhdXRoZW50aWNhdGUiKSAKPSAudC4KLkl0ZW0oImh0dHA6Ly9zY2hlbWFzLm1p > Y3Jvc29mdC5jb20vY2RvL2NvbmZpZ3VyYXRpb24vc210cHVzZXNzbCIpID0gLnQuCsKgwqDCoMKg > wqDCoCAuVXBkYXRlCsKgwqDCoMKgIEVORFdJVEgKCsKgwqDCoMKgIGxvTXNnID0gQ1JFQVRFT0JK > RUNUICgiQ0RPLk1lc3NhZ2UiKQrCoMKgwqDCoCBXSVRIIGxvTXNnCsKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoCAuQ29u > ZmlndXJhdGlvbiA9IGxvQ2ZnCsKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoCAuRnJvbSA9ICJteWNsaWVudGFjY291bnRA > eWFob28uY29tIgoKwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgIC5UbyA9ICdyYWZhZWwuY29wcXVpbkBnbWFpbC5jb20n > CgoKwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgIC5TdWJqZWN0ID0gIlRlc3QiCsKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoCAuVGV4dEJvZHkg > PSAiSGVsbG8gIgoKwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgIC5TZW5kKCkKwqDCoMKgwqAgRU5EV0lUSAoKCkkgZ29v > Z2xlZCBmb3IgYSBzb2x1dGlvbiBhbmQgdGhleSBzYXkgdG8gdHJ5IHRvIGNoYW5nZSB0aGUgb3V0 > Z29pbmcgcG9ydCAKdG8gNTg3LCB0byBubyBhdmFpbAoKV2hhdCB0aGUgaGVjayBpcyBnb2luZyBv > bj8/CgpTb3JyeSwgbXkgYmFkIHRlbXBlciBjb250cm9sbGVkIG1lCgpSYWZhZWwgQ29wcXVpbgoK > CgoKLS0tCkVzdGUgY29ycmVvIGVsZWN0csODwrNuaWNvIGhhIHNpZG8gY29tcHJvYmFkbyBlbiBi > dXNjYSBkZSB2aXJ1cyBwb3IgQVZHLgpodHRwOi8vd3d3LmF2Zy5jb20KCgotLS0gU3RyaXBNaW1l > IFJlcG9ydCAtLSBwcm9jZXNzZWQgTUlNRSBwYXJ0cyAtLS0KbXVsdGlwYXJ0L2FsdGVybmF0aXZl > CsKgIHRleHQvcGxhaW4gKHRleHQgYm9keSAtLSBrZXB0KQrCoCB0ZXh0L2h0bWwKLS0tCgpfX19f > X19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fXwpQb3N0IE1lc3NhZ2Vz > IHRvOiBQcm9Gb3hAbGVhZmUuY29tClN1YnNjcmlwdGlvbiBNYWludGVuYW5jZTogaHR0cDovL21h > aWwubGVhZmUuY29tL21haWxtYW4vbGlzdGluZm8vcHJvZm94Ck9ULWZyZWUgdmVyc2lvbiBvZiB0 > aGlzIGxpc3Q6IGh0dHA6Ly9tYWlsLmxlYWZlLmNvbS9tYWlsbWFuL2xpc3RpbmZvL3Byb2ZveHRl > Y2gKU2VhcmNoYWJsZSBBcmNoaXZlOiBodHRwOi8vbGVhZmUuY29tL2FyY2hpdmVzL3NlYXJjaC9w > cm9mb3gKVGhpcyBtZXNzYWdlOiBodHRwOi8vbGVhZmUuY29tL2FyY2hpdmVzL2J5TUlEL3Byb2Zv > eC9hZGEzNDA0ZC1lYTI3LTE2NjQtOWI5Yy0zMGEwNDRiNTQ5YzNAZ21haWwuY29tCioqIEFsbCBw > b3N0aW5ncywgdW5sZXNzIGV4cGxpY2l0bHkgc3RhdGVkIG90aGVyd2lzZSwgYXJlIHRoZSBvcGlu > aW9ucyBvZiB0aGUgYXV0aG9yLCBhbmQgZG8gbm90IGNvbnN0aXR1dGUgbGVnYWwgb3IgbWVkaWNh > bCBhZHZpY2UuIFRoaXMgc3RhdGVtZW50IGlzIGFkZGVkIHRvIHRoZSBtZXNzYWdlcyBmb3IgdGhv > c2UgbGF3eWVycyB3aG8gYXJlIHRvbyBzdHVwaWQgdG8gc2VlIHRoZSBvYnZpb3VzLgpSZXBvcnQg > W09UXSBBYnVzZTogaHR0cDovL2xlYWZlLmNvbS9yZXBvcnRBYnVzZS9hZGEzNDA0ZC1lYTI3LTE2 > NjQtOWI5Yy0zMGEwNDRiNTQ5YzNAZ21haWwuY29t > > > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > multipart/alternative > text/plain (text body -- kept) > text/html > --- > [excessive quoting removed by server]

VFP and CDO banging my head against the wall
by Rafael Copquin 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

If I use my own yahoo personal account to send this email, _it works beautifully._ However, I had my client open a yahoo account so they can send their own emails from VFP and I get the message: server unavailable or failed to connect to server. I tried this from three different machines with the same result. And the same happens with gmail. Trying to send the email from gmail, using smtp.gmail.com for the outgoing server, I get the same result. BTW, it barfs in the send() line loCfg = CREATEOBJECT("CDO.Configuration") WITH loCfg.Fields .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465 .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "myclientaccount(a)yahoo.com" .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "hispassword" .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = .t. .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = .t. .Update ENDWITH loMsg = CREATEOBJECT ("CDO.Message") WITH loMsg .Configuration = loCfg .From = "myclientaccount(a)yahoo.com" .To = 'rafael.copquin(a)gmail.com' .Subject = "Test" .TextBody = "Hello " .Send() ENDWITH I googled for a solution and they say to try to change the outgoing port to 587, to no avail What the heck is going on??

If we're measuring the distance from the front of the frog's feet to the pond, it doesn't matter how big the frog is. Yes, the jumps become imperceptible, but frogs aren't especially good at measuring half the distance, either.

Any guesses? Two. Don't give me that Zeno's Paradox nonsense. If you change the specs on pond and jumping distance mid-project, you deserve what you get. [snip] Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko
