Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. forced the electrons to say:

Huh? Sendmail says it will use ESMTP to deliver mail to yahoo.com, but
actually delivers locally!
Something is broken in your sendmail configuration. Upgrade/Reinstall. If you
are using the same RPM, then
rpm --replacepkgs sendmail*.i386.rpm
Before that, talk SMTP to sendmail and see what it does. A typical sequence
will be (script file below).
