Hi ,
I am using monit version 5.5 on fedora 8. It sent alerts to my gmail successfully. I aimed it send alerts to my yahoo as well as gmail. But it could not .

Bellow I mentioned some details .

Yahoo smtp server configurations are :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set mailserver smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 587
    username "myUser" password "myPass"
    using tlsv1
set alert address@hidden    on { resource }

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debug Output:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resource limit succeeded notification is sent to address@hidden
Sendmail error: 500 5.5.1 Invalid command

I telnet on both smtp server and I found some differences :

    using tlsv1
set alert address@hidden    on { resource }

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I run it at debug mode and the outputs are:
