The error message is generated by yahoo.com's SMTP server. This is
an anti-spam technique at work. In order to use Yahoo's SMTP server,
you must *first* use POP3 to check your mail. The POP3 server notes
your IP address and allows that address to access the SMTP server for
sending. (The theory is that if you prove you've got a valid
username and password on their mail box, you're okay to send through
it.)
The solution is to open a POP3 connection prior to attempting to send
mail. The connection can be immediately closed, it just wants your
username and password for verification.
temppop: open pop://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
close temppop
send [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This works from Yahoo."
