I'm running sendmail. The single number one issue is to never bounce 
email. Reject is fine, but if you have anything doing bounce you'll 
likely wind up on their blocklist for a day or few. Spammers love to use 
yahoo addresses as from addresses, so if you are bouncing any mail, 
you'll likely be spamming yahoo in their eyes and in fact most people's 
eyes these days.

I have multiple hosting accounts and not all have SPF records, although 
this might help as well, but if you keep outgoing clean, you'll get 
through to yahoo users as well. And if it winds up in their spam box, it 
is their responsibility to move it out and approve the sender. Yahoo 
does run extremely strict filtering and that's just how it is for 
everyone. If anything in an email is at all spammy (and it's really easy 
to cross that fine line), it'll wind up in the spam box.
