   My Yahoo email account is configured exactly correctly as confirmed by Yahoo and confirmed by using the same settings in Outlook. wp-mail.php is reporting "POP3 connect: Error [13] [Permission denied]". I looked through the wp-mail.php code but was unable to debug it since I cannot determine where the "connect" function (class?) is located. Can anyone help or point me where to fine connect?

   Code snippet referenced:
   

   (!$pop3-><strong>connect</strong>(get_option('mailserver_url'),get_option('mailserver_port')))
   	wp_die(wp_specialchars($pop3->ERROR));

   Thanks,
   Pete

   You need to authenticate to send through Yahoo if the email is not going to a yahoo account.

   Thanks for that tip. Do you have a pointer to where/how to authenticate?

   You'll have to google around. I run my own mail server so never had to deal with this problem.
