It looks like for I am no expert, but it seems to me that a mail server does not have to be configured for telnet. Other than for testing, what do you telnet the mail server for? You are sure you configured your yahoo address for smtp send? See www.yahoo.com, click on check mail, sign in, click options, then click POP Access and Forwarding _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
