Hi,I use LotusNotes as my email client, using a Yahoo account.
This has worked perfect for Y E A R S, until the SSL was a requirement there (as their help page says).
Using it, ssl enabled, BOTH pop & smtp works nicely on RELEASE 5.
But I haven’t been able to use it on Release 6, 7 nor 8 (what a shame!).
On R8, for example:
From menu File/Security/User Security… Identity of others… button [Retrieve internet service certificate]
Service name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Protocol: POP3 (port 995)
or
Service name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Protocol: SMTP (port 465)
When connecting apears the message:
ssl error: invalid peer
Therefore, when trying to send/receive, the [Replicator Page] says:
SSL bad peer certificate. Connection refused.
And the client’s [LOG] says:
POP3Client: RetrieveMessages
POP3Client: Connect: Host pop.mail.yahoo.com, Port 995, Use SSL: 1
POP3Client: Connect: Attempt to Establish SSL Session Failed. Status: 7291.
or
SMTPClient: Starting to transfer 1 messages to smtp.mail.yahoo.com for user CN=My Name/O=MEX
SMTPClient: Attempting to Connect: Host smtp.mail.yahoo.com, Port 465, SSL Port 0, Connecting Domain [192.168.1.67]
SMTPClient: SSL handshake error: 1C7Bh
SMTPClient: Attempting to Disconnect:
SMTPClient: Connection already disconnected
Some search results on web say that we should pay for the “yahoo plus” version in order to use an external client.
But why should that be a requirement since it works on an R5, for free ¿?
I have also copied exactly the names.nsf from that version in order to use exactly the same configuration (accounts/certificates) without success.
That’s why I think that this problem is on the LNotes side, rather that the yahoo provider.
Hoping someone there knows a tip about this.
