Last week Yahoo! stopped allowing free POP3 access. 
Since then, I have been unable to send mail to a
Yahoo! address using exim locally.

Have any other exim users noticed anything strange?  I
get the message (from exim's log file):

2002-04-30 15:07:19 172eqF-0001DK-00 **
sledgehammer2010 at yahoo.com R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp:
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL
FROM:<dreddy at greatspacetoaster> SIZE=2478: host
mx2.mail.yahoo.com [64.157.4.82]: 501 Syntax error in
parameters or arguments

This
(http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-19990809/013827.html)
leads me to believe that Yahoo! may have changed
something.

Thanks,
Dhruva
