This doesn't quite make sense, unless I misunderstand how "yahoogroups" works.
Is it not normal SMTP mail?
rcpthosts contols how qmail-smtpd will accept mail; i.e., it will only accept
a RCPT TO: command if the FQDN part of the address given is in rcpthosts (or
if the RELAYCLIENT environment variable is set). Incoming mail for your users
will be addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so your.domain needs to be in
rcpthosts, not yahoogroups.com.
Perhaps the problem is your users cannot send outgoing mail through your
server properly? If so, what you need to do is enable "selective relaying".
It's an extremely common topic on this mailing list, and is dealt with in the
FAQ, qmail.org, Life with qmail, etc.
