The first thing you need to do is to check the error message that you get in the exim mainlog /var/log/exim_mainlog when you send an email to one of the failing addresses.

How can access these log files?
ssh to the server
and then keep the console open and issue the command
tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
and try to send the email.
check the message, and post it here.

note that my server cannot send emails just to yahoo emails.

It looks like you have an account named yahoo.com set up on your server. Mail intended for yahoo.com addresses will go to this account instead of going to yahoo.com's server.
When you send a message, exim will first check to see if the domain is set up locally, if it is, it will deliver it and will not have to do any DNS lookups. If that fails, then it proceeds to do DNS and MX lookups and send the message out. From your logs it looks like yahoo.com is set up as a local account. You will probably want to delete that account, unless you have a specific reason for hosting it.
Really thanks
Thats right, i have opened an account named yahoo.com
i fixed the problem and now, my server sends emails to yahoo server too.
thanks again

Anyone have the problem when the server goes to send an email to a @yahoo.com or other free email service and the email addy doesn't exist so the mail stays in the mail queue?
