Mail bounced back externally - internally ok.

I am unable to send mail externally. It gets refused from any mail server.
Here's my current config:
oslevel -s
5300-07-05-0831
********
mail -v foo@yahoo.com < /tmp/oracle.out
Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail AIX5.3/8.13.4 supports version 10, .cf file is version 9

Any ideas?
Even with the apparent backleveled sendmail.cf version, sendmail still works just not externally.

Looks like network problem (firewall, proxy?)

Try
#telnet f.mx.mail.yahoo.com 25

and check if can connect on that port.

telnet: connect: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.

Remember, that if you send mail via external MX, you need to have user name, password, DNS, reverse DNS configured...and other things that are checked to protect spam by MX.

Yohoo isn't open-relay, I suggest you to configure postfix on some linux box (including all things that are checked by anty-spamm) and then try.
