I'm getting 4XX frequently, and occasionally:

(host mx3.mail.yahoo.com[67.28.113.10] said: 451 VS5-MF Excessive unknown recipients - possible Open Relay http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/spam/spam-18.html (#4.4.5) 205.217.153.43 (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
                                         foo at yahoo.com

What I think this means is that they're noticing that I originate too
much email to Yahoo users that don't exist. It comes and goes, which is
what you would expect for a real-time check.

(FYI, I'm not an open relay, and I'm not in the RBL's you suggested I
check.)
