Well, you can always run more qmail-remotes.
But I'm curious why yahoo is consuming qmail-remotes. If connections
to yahoo.com are timing out, the tcpto mechanism should keep
qmail-remote from trying to connect. (See "man qmail-tcpto".) But if
connections are succeeding, the messages should either be delivered or
deferred. Either way, I don't see why large numbers of qmail-remotes
would be trying to send to yahoo.com for extended periods.
