Actually, I am surprised that Yahoo was allowing direct to MX mail at all on their networks, most ISP's stopped allowing that due to spammers a few years ago. If I had to guess, I would guess that they are dropping your packets because you are coming in from an external network and they basically don't recognize you as an authorized mail server. I am assuming that you don't own your own domain and have an MX record for said domain. Please correct me if I am wrong. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
