*Yawn*
OP's problem isn't that his server doesn't 'work'
OP's problem is that he *could previously* deliver, and no longer can do.
Now even an obsessive-compulsive Merchant Banker might - just maybe -
... want to take his laptop on any connection WITHOUT a PTR RR and telnet smtp
to either of the two *specific* yahoo MX the OP listed as problematic.
.... and again from a server WITH a valid PTR RR.
Yahoo at one time passed around a billion zombot messages every day.
Now, bless their cotton socks - and connection vetting - they no longer do so.
