Yahoo doesn't want to talk to you.
Can you telnet to it on port 25? Use that IP address explicitly.
If not, can you tcptraceroute to it on 25?
Most likely it's something at your end. Has your ISP blocked
25 outbound? Can you send mail anywhere else?
If not, what about other yahoo MXs ("dig yahoo.com mx" to find them).
