I do not have access to the DSBL server so I can't see what the world 
looks like from that perspective, but on my own systems I cannot 
reproduce your success:

% host -tmx CPE-61-9-203-178.static.nsw.bigpond.net.au
CPE-61-9-203-178.static.nsw.bigpond.net.au mail is handled (pri=0) by
   mx-relay.nsw.bigpond.net.au
% host mx-relay.nsw.bigpond.net.au
Host not found.

It is possible that Bigpond's DNS servers return inconsistent data and 
that Yahoo stumbled upon a usable answer.

The problem with delisting Bigpond customers is rather old; you may wish 
to contact your ISP to get this fixed once and for all.
