hello and welcome, many possible causes; a starting point to isolate the problem: disable protection profile applied to outgoing smtp traffic firewall policy. try to re-send; goes your mail out?

We review our firewall and this only verify the port. I forget it mention this problem is only with yahoo. Do you have another possible cause...? Thanks for your help..

We are also experiencing broken pipes when trying to send mail to Yahoo email addresses. I' ve tried disabling the protection profile on outgoing smtp traffic, but it did not solve the problem. I even upgraded to the newest firmware in the 3.00 series, 3.00 MR7 Patch 9, but the problem is still there. Any other ideas?
