Why is Outlook sending messages when my outbox is empty?

[steve]

it's been happening for the last several days, even though i've changed
nothing and have been using Outlook for a year-and-a-half. i get these two
error messages:

Task 'POP.sbcglobal.yahoo.com - Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The
operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If
you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: 553 From: address not
verified; see
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html'

Task 'POP.sbcglobal.yahoo.com - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The
connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact
your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server
responded: 553 From: address not verified; see
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html'

yahoo's help just tells me "your alternate non-Yahoo! email address is not
verified." that doesn't make sense, since none of my addresses have changed.

typically it happens when you have read receipts being returned.
