The yahoo server names are a lot more complicated than simple smtp.x.x.x --
here's a partial sample header from one of my accounts to another. From what
I've observed, every new yahoo account I open gets assigned to a specific
server/URL like http://us.f406.mail.yahoo.com , and they're different for
each account (I have about 7). I'd imagine they have hundreds, if not
thousands, of mail servers all over the world......
