	This is the only way I have tried with Earthlink.  I'll have to see if
regular SMTP will work too.  I don't think there is too much of a difference
between the two.  I believe ESMTP allows passing of info about a message
regarding whether it is regular mail or MIME in the commands used to talk
with other mail relays.  
	How are you using yahoo for an outbound SMTP relay?  I have a mail
account with them but was not able to set up SMTP before.  I'm not able to auth
with the server for outgoing mail.  I am able to pull down mail fine from there
with fetchmail.
