hey,

 

are you doing a application which require sending of mail to the user and you are making use of yahoo smtp to send the mail instead of having your own smtp server?? If that's the case, i'm having the same issue with u.

 

i been looking for a solution for this for ages 

I had a similar problem months back, after much research and testing. I worked out that even supplying a username and password for a public mail service, it still wont send mail for you, I tried atleast 20 mail service providers, and different programs and PHP scripts. None of which worked. The way I got it working was. Use SMTP on my webhost, if its provided to you, take advantage of it.  ;)
