   Here's the error message I get back from sbcglobal:   
   * [addressee's email address]: 550 5.7.9 This mail has been blocked   
   because the sender is unauthenticated. Yahoo requires all senders to   
   authenticate with either SPF or DKIM. Authentication results: DKIM =   
   FAILURE - SPF hotmail.com with ip 51.81.232.240 = FAILURE. See   
   https://senders.yahooinc.com/smtp-error-codes/#authentication-failures   
   for more information.

   I see in the above message headers that "smtp.auth" and "smtp.mailfrom"   
   are different. Is this possibly the cause of my problem?
