We don't treat Yahoo! any differently here, so essentially we delivered using Postfix defaults. We have a "fragile" queue for difficult providers but only Microsoft domains are listed. Whilst I've seen comment that Yahoo! throttle, I had some logs that suggest Yahoo! also can be overloaded at times (hardly surprising given some of the botnets out there). As such afraid I tend to the view that if Yahoo! email is delayed it is largely a Yahoo! problem. Although we've not had any complaints of such in recent months (years?), and BT Internet use Yahoo so we ship them quite a significant proportion of our outbound email. Most of the feedback we got was when BT switched to using Yahoo, so I assume teething problems.
