Not that I know of.. Found out the reason Yahoo reject the email I send to Yahoo is because the 'From: ' address isn't xyz@abcoa.com with the proper domain name. What Yahoo got is root@chevy in the 'From: ' section of the email. This is the email that is send from the Unix server. So, I tried overriding it with the 'From: xyz@abcoa.com' option in the mail function. Unfortunately that doesn't work because root@chevy override that 'From: ' option. The workaround to the problem in Unix is to use the hostname resolution in the /etc/hosts file. I'm not having much luck yet. Because I am only able to get Yahoo to accept my email if it is outside of the abcoa.com in the /etc/hosts file but return with an unknown error message for any email that end with abcoa.com.
