I ran through the steps and it did seem to resolve the problem. Not sure how exactly but it seems clear that the yahoo smtp server is not only validating the username and password used to login to the smtp server but it wants the from address to be a 'valid' address for the account. Seems overkill to me.

So quit yer yapping or Ma Bell will show up at your house with a nuke to protect you even more! Seriously, overkill seems an appropriate way to put it. but I also suspect that the implementation was botched too. Why didn't they send out an email to everyone? Why is the verification area of the webmail options interface so deep in the system and hard to find? It's all well and good to try and tighten up the network, but it often helps if one bothers to inform the end users. -- Illegitimati non carborundum
