The way you've set the test up, the 'finished emailing' message will
always show up, so it's no real test at all.

Try this instead and look at the result

if( mail( "aaa@yahoo.com", "A", "B", "From: a...@aol.com" ) ) {
echo 'Finished Emailing.';
}
else {
echo 'Sending mail failed';
}

If the message got send, try checking your Yahoo spam box - the message
might be filtered to it.

If the message sending failed, look at the error messages or warnings.
If none display, put the following line above the test:

error_reporting( E_ALL );
