Well, I did check with "a.mx.mail.yahoo.com", and it does indeed only return (502, 'Command Unimplemented')

I have run into Windows virus scanners in the past, that cause problems when you connect to port 25, and try to 'starttls()'. They do something weird to the connection so that it fails, because they want to be able to scan all emails for viruses,etc.

Which is why I had the try/except there. But I'm okay with removing that, and just letting the return code fail.
