RE: Error from yahoo: wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)

That is a possible server problem:

 

       X.5.4   Invalid command arguments
 
          A valid mail transaction protocol command was issued with
          invalid arguments, either because the arguments were out of
          range or represented unrecognized features. This is useful
          only as a permanent error.

 

However, everything here looks fine:

However, if I try to telnet to your server, I get a could not open
connection failure.

 

Is this server behind a firewall?
