i use yahoo pop mail and yahoo's SMTP server requires authentication
i am using the code below to send mail but when i try to send mail
emacs freezes and i can not send mail. how do you send mail trough a
SMTP server that requires authentication...

  (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
  (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
  (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.mail.yahoo.com")
  (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials 
        '(("smtp.mail.yahoo.com" 25 "username" "password")))

why this does not work?
