Thank you for that.  I forgot to mention that I did setup DKIM for the
domain I am sending mail from.  That is the only way to get added to their
FBL.  I will add the slow_delivery_rate_delay and see if that also makes a
difference.

I am also unsubscribing anybody who complains as soon as I get the feedback
e-mail from Yahoo.  I have only started doing that for the past two weeks
though.  So maybe this deferral problem will go away.

Thanks again.
