Are you sending from an SBC/Yahoo mail account (e.g., herman@sbcglobal.net)
or from a non-SBC/Yahoo account (e.g., herman@walmart.com or
herman@hotmail.com)?
Was the error message you posted given to you by Outlook Express? Was it
the entire error? In fact, the message is coming from the SBC/Yahoo (AKA
SBCGlobal) SMTP server and OE is just "passing it on" to you. If your
settings are correct and you were sending from an sbcglobal.net account, the
message is pointing to problems on SBC/Yahoo's end. (207.115.57.15 points
to the old Prodigy system, whom SBCGlobal bought out a few years ago.)
Can you give me a link to the SBC/Yahoo page containing instructions for
setting up an account in OE for your area, please?
There is the remote possibility that your current Identity may be damaged,
especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your
accounts in a new Named Identity (File>Identities>Add new identity).
Assuming all is well, import messages from the old Identity before deleting
it (File>Identities>Manage Identities).
To avoid such corruption in the future:
Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a
manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
