I can reproduce this at will.  I ran my DNS server with logging temporarily
and saw the request for an 'A' record for returns.bulk.yahoo.com, no MX
request was done.

I moved my dnscache directory and created a new one, restarted XMail and I
still get ENODNS for these emails.  I don't see an entry in the dnscache
under MX for returns.bulk.yahoo.com, just a yahoo.com file.  Why would that
be?

XMail could not find MX records, and A record was not present. Very likely 
some problem with your network, because if someone can accuse XMail of not 
being able to fetch the MXs, the A record quesry is done by using the 
system DNS API.
