Rick, the last time Yahoo did this was in December, and I spent a week 
trying to contact someone there with a pulse,
tried getting added to their whitelist, filled in forms, read their 
automated responses, etc.
After about two weeks, the deferrals went away. Until now.
Even with my postfix configured for a "slow" Yahoo, as in the following, 
I still have 2600 Yahoo deferrals in my retry queue.

postfix/master.cf
yahoo     unix  -       -       n       -       1       smtp

postfix/main.cf
yahoo_destination_recipient_limit = 5            # matches Yahoo's limit
yahoo_destination_concurreny_limit = 2

postfix/transport
yahoo.ca        yahoo:
yahoo.com       yahoo:
(with subsequent 'postmap transport')
