Why can't this XP machine send email to a particular Yahoo account?

Hi all:

I've got a simple 2-machine home network, with the two machines
connected to the Internet via a router. One machine runs Vista, one
runs XP.

Up until a short time ago both machines could send email to a
particular Yahoo account; let's call it someone@xxxxxxxxxx A week or
so ago it became apparent that the XP machine could no longer send
email to this particular account: the message would go into the
Outbox and then settle into the Sent Items folder after communicating
with the email server, but the recipient would not receive the
message. There was no local failure message, no "bounce" message from
the receiving server and the message didn't end up in the recipient's
spam bucket. The message just seemed to disappear into bit and bite
heaven.

The Vista machine can still send messages to someone@xxxxxxxxxx

The XP machine can still send messages to other Yahoo accounts: a
message to someone_else@xxxxxxxxx shows up just fine. For some reason
messages sent to this one particular account - someone@xxxxxxxxx - are
failing silently.

I've deleted the recipient's contact information in the XP machine's
Address Book and created the recipient's information from scratch.
Still doesn't work.

Any ideas about what's going on here?

TIA.
