The email is not being delivered,
1) I tried sending to a yahoo account I could verify and it did not
arrive, spam filter or no.
2) My mail server believes it can not open a connection.
3) I can not seem to get a telnet connection. I have tried 'telnet
mail.yahoo.com 25' and 'telnet yahoo.com 25' from every ISP I can find
(COX, QWEST, TWTC, etc.) but it just times out. Same for AOL, and other
major providers. No luck their unless some one has a better way to do
it.

#1 get a mail account on yahoo so you can send e-mail to yourself and
check it to see if it's delivered...they're free
#2 I suggested that you try an SMTP connection via telnet so you can
visually monitor what is being said...did you do that?
#3 Is it possible that your ip address(es) are listed in some DNSBL?
Have you checked?
#4 Is it possible that the e-mail is delivered to a 'spam' directory
instead of people's INBOX?
