Thanks for your help, Shawn. Verizon gave me quite a run around, but I
finally figured out that the problem came from a system/server "upgrade"
yahoo made with the Yahoo/Verizon DSL service. The solution? Use the
SMTP connecting computer's IP address instead of the standard word
setting. That was the only way it would work.

Leave it to Yahoo to screw up perfectly good things to make something
supposedly "better."
Tons of people nationwide had the same problem right after the upgrades,
not just me. Yahoo, the online equivalent of Microsoft. (wince)
