When I send an email to a Yahoo recipient I get the following message: "connection with mx1.mail.yahoo.com is broken". My question is, how can I get Yahoo to reset the connection?

this is my question also. When does somebody respond to the question?

Saw this on a site somewhere:
-------------------------------------------
This is a problem caused by the amount of spam and viruses floating around the internet. Free services like AOL and Yahoo and Hotmail have millions of email accounts. When they get flooded, the servers slow down, or the servers start "stalling" the mail.
The way it works:
- you send a message
- your mail server immediately contacts the other mail server and asks permission to send mail
- the other mail server (yahoo, aol, etc) says that it's far too busy to talk now and that our mail server should call back later and then hangs up the connection
- your mail server sees this and wants you to know it happens and so it tells you that it happened (for your own information).
- your mail server then tries every 5 minutes or so to send the message out until it is sent or two days have gone by. If two days go by without being able to send the messages, you will receive a rejection notice that the mail could not be sent.
-------------------------------------------
Anyway. fact is you can't make or ask Yahoo to reset their connection, unless you're a network administrator over there ... the problem is on their end, and there is nothing you can do but wait for the network congestion to pass...
