It's blocking outbound to SpamCop, no submissions are received by SpamCop.

I can turn it on or off, no other options.

No Whitelist functions available, that's the first thing I explored when 
it started happening.

OK, I got it the wrong way around and it should have been SMTP.  However, 
Yahoo mail *is* going through Yahoo servers not NTL servers, mail client 
is set up correctly for this.

It's tending to be more sparodic at present, could be just a major hiccup 
with Yahoo, hence why I asked original question of whether anyone else is 
having this problem.
