That's not what your logs show. They show that the new mail came in, a
delivery attempt was made; that bounced, there was no recent record of a
successful delivery, so the new mail was bounced too.

There's a difference between "try once to confirm, then bounce" and
"immediately bounce".

If you think that some domains are doing this, per recipient, then
create a new dnslookup Router; put it before the normal dnslookup
router, add a "domains = yahoo.com" restriction (and adjust to restrict
it to the domains you care about), add "no_more" and add
"retry_use_local_part".
