I met an urgent issue, and I have tried to fix it, but it didn't work.
Firstly, I am sure the email account in the site information is the same as I set in the SMTP module.
Secondly, I use the Yahoo email account, so I don't think it's need openssl, just like gmail.(because our OS in the virtual server is WinxpX64, so it takes a lot of time to install Openssl in WinXP).
*****************************************
The settings of my account is follwing:
Primary SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Backup SMTP server: Blank(I don't know what to set in this option, so I leave it blank)
SMTP Port: 25
username: *****
password:******(I am sure the pawd and the usid match, because I just tried in the yahoo website, and I can login successfully)
I also set the test-email, and I have try to send it to 3 different account: yahoo account, gamil account and another email account.
But it gave me the same response.
**************************************
Many thanks if some one can help me to fix it
Cheers

Yahoo does not allow SMTP, POP or IMAP access unless you have their Plus account. If you do, you can then try setting it up with these settings: http://email.about.com/cs/yahoomailtips/qt/et032501.htm.
If you doubt my statement, log into your Yahoo account, go to your mail options and click on the item labeled "POP & Forwarding".
