Hi everyone,
In my system.log I always some warning message from smtp service:

Message delivery to the remote domain 'XXXX.com' failed for the
following
reason: The connection was dropped by the remote host.

Sometimes it says the remote host is not responding which is
understandable
because even yahoo.com is not responding when you try to access the
email.
I am just wondering is there any specific reason for the remote host
drop
the connection?

It drops the connection because it doesn't like you. Literally. Or
at least the commands you send. Yahoo won't respond if you're coming
from a blocked address range, and many hosts will drop you if you fail
a spam check, such as no reverse DNS, dynamic IP, etc.
