You can send yourself an invite if you have an existing account.

Let me try to explain this simply. Your server doesn't allow you to send emails, so you need an external SMTP, your best bet for finding one is your INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER, however you connect to the internet, AOL, Comcast, etc. You might have to call them and ask if you can use their SMTP server when you're not at home, which is the same as your website, because it's just another computer connected to the internet, and they should be able to give you some settings like port 465 and a username and password that will allow you to send mail from your site, depending on the forum script's abilities, if it's PHPBB, I know you can do that.

I don't think Yahoo will go for bulk mailing. It is considered SPAM you know, even in the best of circles.

Call them whoever they are, if they allow it, they will probably have to set it up.

You should be able to use Yahoo mail; I don't see why not

SMPT is actually bulkmail, this is between and your isp, not yahoo. There are several free smpt programs on the internet, but whether you isp will allow you to use their smpt server is the question. Mine wont, MA BELL you know.
