How to use sendmail on macOS (Matlab 2017a)?

Hi,

I'm trying to send an email using sendmail function. Following setup works perfectly fine on Windows 10, but I'm unable to make it work on macOS Sierra.

   mail = '[e-mail]';
   password = 'password';
   setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server','smtp.mail.yahoo.com');
   setpref('Internet','E_mail',mail);
   setpref('Internet','SMTP_Username',mail);
   setpref('Internet','SMTP_Password',password);
   props = java.lang.System.getProperties;
   props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth','true');
   props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class', 'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory');
   props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.port','465');
   sendmail(mail, 'My message', 'My message');

On macOS it throws following error.

   Error using sendmail (line 169)
   501 5.5.4 Invalid argument

Does anyone have an idea how to solve it?
