I'm embarrassed to say that while I did this validation a week or so
ago (while on the phone with glacial tech support), I've now forgotten
how to get to the link where you do it. Can someone point me to it?
I'm being asked how I did it!

The ATT/yahoo help files are not that helpful, and actually point to a
page

http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=6239    where is basically says
you can't do it!

"Make sure you have entered your AT&T Yahoo! Mail Address as the
"From" address in your email client. You will not be able to send mail
if you have entered another address."

Well, that's precisely what I was told how to do -- sending FROM:
dougl@joeblow.com, when my account is dougl@swbell.net -- and it works
fine. Those help pages are pretty scattered, and read as if a dozen
people co-wrote them without ever talking to each other.
