Yahoo pop download and IMAP relay at home

[Victor Mendonça]

Hi Jonathan, 

Are you sending your emails via postfix or are you sending directly to yahoo trough an email client? 

I've been pulling me hair the past two days trying to get this working. I was able to get fetchmail downloading my email and postfix sending local emails. I wanted to send my messages via my server so I can keep a copy of the sent messages, but it looks like postfix does not support port 465 (it does, but it needs extra config which seems to be a bit out of my league.)

I'm really "ignorant" when it comes to setting up email servers... :-/

I'm not using offlineimap but I imagine it would work fine.
