Yes, I did that first and I get the error:

(I should told you that before, sorry!!) and then I started to look
at php web site and I found:
sendmail_path string
Where the sendmail program can be found, usually /usr/sbin/sendmail
or /usr/lib/sendmail. configure does an honest attempt of locating
this one for you and set a default, but if it fails, you can set it
here.
Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the sendmail
wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any. For example, »
Qmail users can normally set it to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail or/var/
qmail/bin/qmail-inject.
qmail-inject does not require any option to process mail correctly.
This directive works also under Windows. If set, smtp, smtp_port and
sendmail_from are ignored and the specified command is executed.
My mistake, the comments in the INI file really should be changed to
reflect that.
Given that your problem is that you haven't uncommented that line as
Shawn said. Remove the ; from the start of that line, restart your we
server and if the manual isn't lying it should work.
Incidentally, it probably didn't like the Yahoo settings you used
because that port is for SMTP over SSL which PHP doesn't support.
