why? unless you send a lot of mail, just let it go. and if you send a 
lot of mail, you'll ned to get whitelisted.

to show up where? do you mean in postconf output? if so, no it won't. 
postconf only shows builtin parameters. This is a known limitation.

This parameter is one built-in to Postfix, and postconf does not report
user-created parameters.

Also, setting this parameter won't slow down mail to Yahoo, it will
in fact increase the number of messages sent, while lowering the number
of recipients per-messages (assuming some messages have more than 2
Yahoo recipients, otherwise it has no effect at all).

If your prorblem is output-rate or destination concurrency, you are using
the wrong tool. If you must reduce the recipient count per transaction,
IIRC Yahoo seems to prefer 10 recipients per-message rather than the
RFC required 100.

Yes, so how can I know the user-defined parameter takes effect?

Thank you
