Hi there,

In contrast to what I said in the previous post, I do get an error message
from yahoo mail.
It says:

Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too
long.

Yes, I do have a registered domain with DNS that points to the box
postfix is on.
