Yahoo Mail not sending on Mac

Hi all, just updated to Catalina 10.15.5 and the age old problem of Yahoo mail not sending has returned!! Already tried to delete the Yahoo account and adding new with no success. Noticed that there is no SMTP server as a selection in the accounts menu just the Yahoo IMAP one and I am receiving Yahoo emails.....I think in the past there was an SMTP that was added automatically when setting up the Yahoo account?? Anyone have suggestions?? Tks, Rob
