Is this something that is in relation to your Jodohost account or are you running a mail server on your home PC?

I've downloaded the phpmailer. and stop my argo mail server. I've set my php.ini smtp = smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
and in my page for the email to be sent i've added this code include('../phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
i've also set the smtp address again in this and set its username and password now this time i get this message
Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\shortcode\index.php on line 421
I really need help.

I don't know how to send via yahoo, I didn't even realize they have SMTP servers available.
