It is up to you, but it is considered a bad practice to log in as root unless you are doing things that require root access. Even then, it is usually better to use sudo. The error you are getting means that smtp.mail.yahoo.com hung up on you. Maybe because you are using a user name of "uscfish" instead of "uscfish@xxxxxxxxx". Try running: echo "test" | mailx -v -s "tst1" "timmy@xxxxxxxxx" instead of: echo "test" | mailx -vvv -s "tst1" "timmy@xxxxxxxxx" and see if that helps. One other thing - unless your ISP uses Yahoo as its mail service, or you have a premium Yahoo mail account, you are not going to be able to use smpt.yahoo.com to relay your messages, or retrieve your messages except by using the WEB interface.
