We'll need to be able to configure the "send from" email address in
Mystic for this to be able to work.

I have this "done already but I just haven't had time to test it. There will be a resetmail.ini that can be defined by theme or globally in the data folder that will override the defaults. It looks like this:

; Any text after [Text] is used as the e-mail content
;
; @CODE@ will be replaced in the [Text] section with the code required
; for password reset. Traditional MCI codes are available for from and
; subject lines but not in Text unless enabled by setting textmci to true

[General]
from_name = |BN
from_addr = sysop@|DN
subject = E-mail validation code for |BN
textmci = false

[Text]
Enter the following code when prompted by the BBS to validate e-mail:
@CODE@

... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.

Looks like I accidentally pasted the one for e-mail validation but you get the idea :)

If your sending mail from a home address most email providers block home
ip addresses because of spam.

It doesn't look like Yahoo supports CRAM-MD5 as an auth method. Maybe try setting it to Login or Plain.

Also make sure you have cryptlib installed:

I remember whats happening now, Yahoo will successfully authenticate but then fail because Mystic is trying to send the email as sysop@<domain name>:

235 2.7.0 Authentication successful
MAIL FROM:<sysop@bbs.nrbbs.net>
550 Request failed; Mailbox unavailable

We'll need to be able to configure the "send from" email address in Mystic for this to be able to work.
