This has been happening for ever. When I used to send mail with GAE i let the task retry until success. This has been a known issue for a long time now.
Due to alot of GAE mail being flagged as spam at yahoo and other providers I have switched to sending my mail via Amazon SES. There is python code available for it and you can use urlfetch to send via Amazon SES easily with GAE. In fact, urlfetch times out when sending to amazon much less then mail.send used to time out for me, and I have a very high % of deliverability.
