To retrieve the email, you'd have to use something like fetchmail which
handles POP and IMAP. Exim only does SMTP (*) This assumes that yahoo
offers a POP/IMAP service?

To relay mail out through Yahoo you'd have to set up a "manualroute"
router, and configure the authenticators with your Yahoo login details.
Again, this assumes that Yahoo has an SMTP based submission service.
