I can't speak for Yahoo for I've never used their mail, but some hosts just
reject all mail from servers that do not meet certain (often secret)
conditions:
* IP is not blacklisted.
* Reverse DNS lookup does not resolve to hostname.
* Messages do not include certain words.
* Attachment are not of given type (I know servers that reject ZIP files).
When I said reject I should have said "first accept then drop". Hotmail
used to do so (dropped messages were neither returned nor delivered).
You can do some simple tests:
* Make sure headers include your e-mail address in From field.
* Provide a return address for error messages*.
* Try to send mail through the same server from another client.
(*) mail($to, $subject, $body, "From: $from", "-f$from");
