I just finished Dawkins's "The God Delusion" and am now very angry about everything.

Everyone should read it, even - especially - those currently deluded.

On the plus point I know what to get my mother for her birthday.

Presumably your mail system is still broken somehow.

Or Chiark generally hates email from Yahoo. One of the two.

I'll have to sort out a Proper Account, then.

Actually all I see are 450 delays. What was the text of the bounce?

"Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too
long."

It gives up 25 hours after queueing with the Yahoo MTA.

It fibs; it tried between 2000 on one day and 1445 on the next. Also, of course, it could establish an SMTP connection, it just got a 4xx response.

RFC 2821 says the retry time should be at least 4-5 days (section 4.5.4.1).

I've fettled something to accept your mail personally, FWIW.
