It appears you must check your email before you can send.
Postfix is able to use something called "pop-before-smtp", this may very
well be used
by yahoo as well. What it does is force the user to check their mail, before
they can send.
This forces an authetication with the SMTP server.
Why? Checking mail has no toll on a server, and nobody could ever be harmed
by it (provided it's your mail your checking). Sending however, does take a
toll on servers, at least when it is being abused by spammers. This may
likely be the scenario you're experiencing, I think.

Good luck-
