Thanks for the offer Paul. The problem was that I wasn't using smarthost,
and Yahoo (and Hotmail) block on dial-up (and DSL) IP's. I got smarthost
working thanks to info on the list and google, now that's working fine. Iam
using Exim4.
I have a little more work to do with Fetchmail and localhost. It was broken,
then I added 127.0.0.1/32 to my allowed networks - it worked for a little
bit, but is still erroring out. A fetchmail -v transaction follows:
