Attempting MX: P=005 D=yahoo.com TTL=(30) MX=[mx4.mail.yahoo.com] {66.218.86.254}

Do you have proper reverse DNS records set up for your IP address? You can check it out at

and run the DNS Report test. Yahoo is pretty picky about these things, as is AOL. Any problems with other mail addresses?

It's also possible that yahoo is just overloaded and dropped the connection for whateve reason. Do the messages to through eventually?
