I think Bill made a typo there - the "F,4h,30m" means that after 4 hours,
the mail is bounced. I'm fairly sure that wanted to be a "F,4d,30m" or
something similar.

Regardless, that retry should have attempted to send at least one email to
yahoo servers once every 2 minutes for 10 minute provided that you actually
run a queue runner. In the event that yahoo are aggressively greylisting
you, I would talk to them rather than attempt to get around the technical
problem as it sounds like you've been targeted for special treatment.
