Not sure if it's a DNS problem, but you may try the following;
first of all disable EDNS0 on your DNS server

http://support.microsoft.com./kb/q828263/

next, ensure that TCP DNS queries are working through your
firewall, to do so, fire up a command prompt and enter the
following commands

nslookup
server 4.2.2.2
set vc
set type=MX
yahoo.com

if the above works you should see a list of the yahoo.com
mail exchangers, the "set vc" above tells nslookup to use
TCP instead of UDP for the query and since we're querying
an external DNS (4.2.2.2) if the above works then your firewall
isn't blocking TCP DNS queries, if it doesn't work, revise your
firewall config to allow DNS queries over TCP and not only
over UDP

At this point, reset the spool queue of the SMTP and retry
sending some messages to a yahoo account

Let me/us (the group) know
