Worse than rejecting emails, Yahoo silently rejects emails. No error on SMTP delivery, no DSN sent back, sometimes it just drops the email into /dev/null.
Never use Yahoo mail. There are much better alternatives out there, even if you want a free service.
The number of times their servers reject emails at random, causing yahoo email users frustration, is astonishing for an email service provider. Contacting their postmaster to spell out the issue results in a dispute over email headers (which they insist can be obtained from their email client even though the emails are being rejected server side) - and their numerous problems go unsolved. We tell users to switch away from yahoo if they want to receive emails with a reasonable probability.
We've never had issues sending millions of emails to Gmail, outlook, or pretty much any large ESP other than yahoo.
