Hello, please be more patient when waiting for answer. I had suse 9.0 in the past, and as far as I remember, it had postfix configured to send mails. You said "&" - does that mean in the background in terms of Unix ? Can you please shed some more light on what exactly you are trying to achieve, whether you are the administrator of this box (got root ?), are you sure that the selected ports for sending out (e.g. 25 || 587) are open at your network, etc. In the end, if the whole setup is done correctly, you should not have problems to send mail to Yahoo or any other destination.

mlmmj-send
mlmmj-send(1) General Commands Manual mlmmj-send(1)
NAME
mlmmj-send - send mail to a mailinglist or similar
SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-send [-L /path/to/list | -l listctrl] -m /path/to/mail [-a] [-D] [-F] [-h] [-r] [-R] [-s] [-T] [-V]
-a: Don't archive the mail
-D: Don't delete the mail after it's sent
-F: What to use as MAIL FROM:
-h: This help
-l: List control variable.
-L: Full path to list directory

-R: What to use as Reply-To: header
-s: Subscribers file name
-T: What to use as RCPT TO:
-V: Print version
DESCRIPTION
This binary is used to send all kinds of mail to mlmmj managed mailinglists, but can potentially be used standalone for sending mails.
The only option that is not self explanatory is the -l list control option:
'1' means 'send a single mail'
This is used together with -F and -T to send one mail to one recipient.
'2' means 'mail to moderators'
Used for sending mails to the moderators of a list.
'3' means 'resend failed list mail'
'4' means 'send to file with recipients'
'5' means 'bounceprobe'
'6' means 'single listmail to single recipient'
BUGS
This manual page is very scarce documentation of the mlmmj-send binary. The reason for this is that it's really not supposed to be used by
any human, but only supposed to be invoked from other mlmmj binaries. So in case more documentation is needed, please read the source.
