I did verify the smtp settings with my ISP and they they are correct.
By reading the "Failure" email I'm getting back, below is the part of 
the email.




Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<xxxxxxxx at aol.com>:
64.12.222.197 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 MAILBOX NOT FOUND
Giving up on 64.12.222.197.
