It's the first DN which DN is wrong (he doesn't entry anything at all).

if you change your ldif by

dn: o=qmailusers,dc=mail,dc=hollybridge,dc=not
objectClass: top

dn: uid=yjl,o=qmailusers,dc=mail,dc=hollybridge,dc=not
objectClass: person
cn: yin jiangliang
sn: yin

It would be ok (I think ... )
But I don't see very well what is wrong in your example.ldif.

(NB:   use '-w secret' in your ldapdd)
