One email every 2 minutes, It's for sure TOO SLOW. This is not just an Yahoo issue. Gmail is doing the same (not that bad like Yahoo - but they do have a temporary defer at first, sometimes).
Thank you all for you help. Limiting the retry mechanism this way i think it is a design flaw in Exim. Design flaw, for the current times. For 10 years ago this was not an issue (not that much SPAM back then). I will monitor the future releases for this feature request / bug to be solved.
