Sober for a change. Tell yer mate to get a real email address. A contractor, Yahoo! ffs

[threaded]

My mate in the seychelles (contracting) has had a lot of problems with email, chiefly outbound email. It would appear that the whole Island uses one SMTP server

And once you know this, it works.

However

The pop3 side of things has stopped working.

Problem 1, local seychelles DNS server does not list pop3.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Solution, add host hack to local hosts file. Sorted

Problem 2, pop3.mail.yahoo.co.uk does not accept my friends credentials (EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN LOG INTO WEB MAIL using them )
Solution, the yank server .com does work

Problem 3, local seychelles DNS server does not list the yank server
Intended solution, do another host hack.

Problem 3, cannot obtain ip address of said yank server.

In conclusion, yahoo, your mail service sucks ass and I hate you so passionately I could throw my sofa across the room you utter utter *u***

Simples, swap to Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Many ISPs have problems being a telco, never mind running a DNS, so solves those problems.

Also many countries have their native ISPs block certain sites, Pirate Bay etc., by redirecting the DNS, so this is a good workaround.
