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. Ian As told by, David Banning > Hi Ian.
