[Spambayes] why

[Dale Schroeder]

There might be another option.  I know that many, if not all, of the att 
yahoo's have a pop3 option for email.  The incoming and outgoing servers 
vary by locale, but (after logging in) they can be found on the att 
yahoo website:  
<http://helpme.att.net/>http://helpme.att.net/results.php?all=0&category=2 
<http://helpme.att.net/results.php?all=0&category=2> .  I had to set up 
a coworker, using Mozilla Thunderbird and sbserver.  The only "gotchas" 
for her locale was that att used nonstandard ports and ssl, which had to 
be accounted for in the configuration.
