This has nothing to do with Cyrus. Record a faulty SMTP
conversation with tcpdump, like this:
tcpdump -w /file/name -s 2000 host mx2.mail.yahoo.com and port 25
then put the resulting file somewhere on the web for reference, and post
the URL, a description of your problem, relevant logs, and the output of
"postconf -n" to the Postfix list. This is likely to be a pipelining
problem at Yahoo, but you should check with the Postfix list anyway.
