You probably need to change smtp.email.yahoo.com to smtp.mail.yahoo.com. The one you are using is not a valid DNS entry.

Well, at least now you are talking to the Yahoo SMTP server. I do not know what rules YAHOO has regarding mail relay but I suspect that at a minimum it requires some sort of user authentication. I also understand that port 465 is an encrypted connection. I don't believe that BLAT supports this so would need to create an SSL tunnel first. We use SendGrid now for email like this or a local SMTP server but that has drawbacks of its own. Sending email is not a trivial process. There are some other options like your own executable.

We left BLAT behind many years ago. We switched first to POSTIE - but that then became unsupported. We now use SWITHMAIL (https://www.tbare.com/software/swithmail/) sending emails via MS365 email. It handles all the secure ports ... and comes at the same price as BLAT :-)
