It means that the domain "metta.lk" doesn't have an MX (mail exchanger)
record in the DNS system. I confirmed this using nslookup like so:
%nslookup <return>
>set type=MX
>metta.lk
***cannot find host/domain
This means that, if there is a machine accepting mail for metta.lk,
there isn't a way to reach it by name. This is not a yahoo problem, but
a problem with metta.lk.
