I got this fixed with help on another thread, just today: Go to Yahoo>Accounts\View settings for this account>Account Settings, and see what your SMTP server is set at. It should be Webmail, pointing to your Yahoo address. If you're not sure that's what it's set for, go, within Account Settings, to Outgoing Server, add or edit a correct entry. Go back to your Yahoo account settings and select this server for your outgoing mail server.
See if that gets it. (If not, somebody who actually knows something will have to help you.)
