If you are a aabaco small business customer your hostname is smtp.bizmail. yahoo.com. I’ve tried two or three other smtp plug ins and have not gotten any to work with yahoo small business email. Consistent problem getting rejected on login. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9e9ae2253749b8c662062bc9fc596e92784c08089383539deb3793f7c3ab78f3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-1945/)󠁿 [dharmawebstudio](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dharmawebstudio/) January 29, 2017 Test Message Sent The result was: bool(false) ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/71f2ef56126ac012cc2d457fb3a1f5bf379292a69ffe2742d314b59e5b62f58e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It works!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-works-575/)󠁿 [pguardiario](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pguardiario/) October 29, 2016 Thanks [ Read all 4 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-yahoo-smtp/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “WP Yahoo SMTP” is open source software.
