Mar 12 04:29:12 mail postfix/qmgr[4504]: B57F27580B0: to=<abcde1234@yahoo.com>, relay=none, delay=45258, delays=45250/8.7/0/0, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)


please help me...

You say that mail transport fails for a few while others work fine. We need to look at all deferred mails in queue.

Try this command, it will show details of mails in your queue. Get the ids from there and check logs to see if all of them are being sent to the same destination.
# su - zimbra
$ postqueue -p

And please update your forum profile with the ZCS version you are running. That helps.

I always keep track of the queue status with this command.
# su - zimbra
$ sudo ~/libexec/zmqstat

It gets the number of mails in each queue.

Just see if any account on your server 'is' able to send successfully to yahoo. Yahoo can block you if attachment size or size of mail is large. Besides you should also check if you are in any blacklists. You may be blacklisted due to spamming or backscatter, which may be the reason for the block. Check with mxtoolbox

From what I understand they can also block you for sending bulk mails(large mails). Check that too. The frequency of sending out.

Though if 'postqueue' work usually means postfix is running, but just to be sure try:

su - zimbra
zmcontrol status

Also test the following:
(1) Send email from one local account to another local account, does the email got delivered?
(2) Send email from an external account to a local account, does the email got delivered?
(3) Are all or partial out bound emails generating errors?
