I have been tying to do a few things with YASS recently that use a PHP based class that connects to the MSN network, to allow sending of messages. Unfortunately, as of a few days ago, I have been unable to connect due to authentication errors. I have 2 different scripts that are giving me the same basic error.

Any ideas? Perhaps Microsoft changed something in the protocol recently?
Anyone who wants the classes to test, send me a PM

I've worked with it and have successfully signed in with MSNP13, though i didn't try other functions. Try to catch me whenever i'm online on mesenger .

So, I think I can narrow it down to this: trying to open a socket connection to messenger.hotmail.com:1863 is failing.
Is this the primary connection method to MSN's servers, or should it be changed?

Are you using the sendMsg class?

I've tested it on localhost using WAMP with SSL support (php_openssl, a PHP extension ) and it works fine

I am using some kind of variant to the sendMsg class (It looks very similar to what I'm using) as one of the scripts I tested, on both WAMP and on dreamhost. localhost has never worked for me, but DH did once before.

Also, http://sandbox.fanatic.net.nz/sendMsg/index.php is not working either it seems. I have tried 2 different passport accounts to try to send a message too, and with no luck.

EDIT: hmm, nvm, it seems to be working on localhost now, which is much surprising!
