The timeouts look suspicious. Is your upstream blocking outgoing SMTP

would be to:

telnet mx4.mail.yahoo.com smtp

No response would mean that someone is blocking you out (either upstream or the receivers).

Tried that, it just sits on


simradusa# telnet mx4.mail.yahoo.com smtp
Trying 216.136.129.5...

and never connects.

OK, so you can be reasonably sure your ISP is blocking port 25. You will probably need to configure your mail server to relay via your ISPs SMTP server instead-- change the SMART_HOST definition in /etc/mail/freebsd.mc and do a "make restart" in /etc/mail, and see whether that helps...
