Did you edit the ~/.mailrc file?
For example, my .mailrc file is:

set smtp-use-starttls
set smtp=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587
set smtp-auth=login
set smtp-auth-user=<myusername>@gmail.com
set smtp-auth-password=<mypass>
set from="<myusername>@gmail.com"

And I issued this command:

$ mail <my-yahoo-id>
Subject: from mail prog

my text
^D

And it did its job.
Of course that you could give these parameters in command-line.
