Hi Billie

Hopefully the details below help with outgoing mail.

This indicates that the address is incorrect and can not be resolved. I tried
pinging the server but could not resolve the address either. So, I checked
your ISP and the SMTP setting for your email address memberID@xxxxxxxxxx
should be smtp.swbell.yahoo.com. There is also an SMTP server
smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com, both servers resolve for me and reply to ping.
