It is impossible for you to accept mail from yahoo or hotmail. Actually not impossible, I suppose you could have a web robot go out and retrieve your email from yahoo or hotmail.

The problem being is that your yahoo and hotmail accounts aren't POP3, and most web based email programs can't retrieve mail from accounts that arn't POP3 or IMAP.

Your problem is NOT related to DNS MX records.
