1) use nslookup or dig util from the server running james to see if you can determine the MX records for yahoo.com
with nslookup:
nslookup <enter>
set type=mx <enter>
yahoo.com. <enter>
Do you receive a response with all of the Yahoo MX records listed?
2) then.. try telneting to port 25 on some of the hosts listed in the results from the previous nslookup query.
example: telnet mx1.yahoo.com 25
Do you connect and receive a SMTP status open?

Do you have other DNS servers that you can try in your config? Instead of Network Solutions? Was not even aware that NetSol would allow you to use their DNS for recursive queries..

Unfortunately, no. My DNS was on Burlee (aquired by Interland) who also hosted my website. I thought I would host my website myself, and also email so that I could keep my domain's email addresses.
In checking for this kind of problem in newsgroups etc, it seems that others have had this same difficulty with Yahoo. I don't know if they were hosting their own DNS or not. Seems to me that it must be something simple and that I'm just being dense. Unfortunately it is not just Yahoo. Don't have a clue.
