Re: unable to send emails to Yahoo

Same here. I used to get it pretty often a couple of months ago but I 
don't encounter them anymore. I've no idea why this happens.

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.
