Nice, so Yahoo's mailservers are broken?
It's 2016. The mere fact it's sending HELO rather than EHLO is a pretty good indication that it is either so decrepit or so deficient that it can safely be
called broken.
Wait a minute. If the server really said:

200 Welcome to my server

without the magical word ESMTP, no one is allowed to use EHLO.

You've invented a non-existent rule. I hope no one has made the blunder of enshrining that non-rule in code or teaching it as fact.

No mention of such a magic word exists in RFC1869 (which defines the SMTP extension model,) RFC2821, or RFC5321. All three include example ESMTP chats without ESMTP in the opening 220, followed by a EHLO.
