Not getting mail to my Yahoo Small Business email account?

I recently changed the DNS settings on my Yahoo Small Business domain name to point to a website *not* hosted on Yahoo. Since then I haven’t been getting any email to the address I have set up on my Yahoo Small Business account. Anyone know what might be happening here?

    In order for your Small Business Email to work, your Name Servers MUST be pointed to yns1.yahoo.com and yns2.yahoo.com.

    As Yahoo! does not offer access to static IPs for MX records, this is the only way to work it. You might consider using an A Record pointing toward your other site if they’ll allow it, although they, too, have to provide you with a static IP.
