It's probably a spam filter in action: you claim to be someone at Yahoo  
but you're not using a Yahoo server to send mail. Try using the Yahoo smtp  
mail servers to deliver your message, or use your ISP address as the  
sender if you use their SMTP. In any case, you should log in first with  
the adequate username+password.
