My guess would be that you are using Sympatico DSL Internet at home.  
Sympatico does not allow you to send email directly to the Internet, all 
email must go through their servers.

Try this:

    telnet mx4.mail.yahoo.com 25

You will see that you cannot connect to Yahoo's mail exchangers ... if you 
aren't using Sympatico then there might be another reason (perhaps you have 
local firewall rules installed that block SMTP?).
