Just re-read the reply from ronzilla more carefully - apologies to all that I did not do so before my reply above. My reply stands.
ronzilla makes clear that the outbound mail is going via the server at mail.btinternet.com and so is not using the Webmail extension at all to send the mail and is simply sending via a regular SMTP connection. No problem with doing that - just want to make clear that it will not show as having anything to do with Yahoo ... it is coming from btinternet and not Yahoo. Of course, most users will be not be permitted to send via btinternet.com.
