Ha. Thanks. That put me in the right direction. So, it looks like there was a DNS issue.
SMTP,yahoo.com,>,DNS server returned ErrorRetry reported by 0.0.0.0 I checked the settings and the person who setup the system had the secondary DNS server set to a decommissioned server's IP address. I corrected that and also gave the VM a restart. Mail flowing to yahoo.com correctly now. I'm surprised that the secondary DNS would be causing the issue...and since I didn't test thinks before giving the server a bump, I can't really confirm that fixed it, rather than just the restart.
