I used Frank's telnet.r and changed the port to 25, and got this

Script: "Telnet protcol scheme" (6-Jul-2001/17:51)
telnet protocol loaded

250-smtp102.sbc.mail.mud.yahoo.com^M
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE^M
250-PIPELINING...

So, you can see that Yahoo does not support CRAM-MD5 authentication.

I suggest that esmtp be fixed to send a "EHLO" greeting instead of the "HELO", 
and then parse the response to determine what authentication schemes are 
supported, and then use one that  Rebol also supports.
