Yahoo site explorer is expecting the verification file's content like this (Where "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" is the verification key):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
            <HTML>
            <!-- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -->
            <HEAD>
            <TITLE>
            </TITLE>
            </HEAD>
            <BODY>
            </BODY>
            </HTML>

But the Site Map module is creating a plain text file with just the key.

To attach the file, it was enough to change the extension to .txt.

I am attaching the file contained in the archive found in the previous comment (to use it, the file must be renamed xmlsitemap_engines.pages.inc).

It is preferable to attach a patch, rather than the full modified file.
