So why should the MX for a domain have the same name as the mailout for a domain
has? And the name/ip of the mailout is what the receiving side sees.

That's something different (and still bad, but Yahoo is one of the gorillas who
can decide not to follow RFCs when receiving mails). But scoring mails down
because you don't like the hostname the PTR points to is plain bad and stupid.
At least they don't reject those mails.
I'd still like to see logs or headers of mails which have been put into
spam quarantine, because ALL people do here is GUESS what could go wrong and
give advice which makes my toe nails curl up. As long as he is adhering to RFCs
it's not him doing something wrong, it's Yahoo doing something wrong. But to
know that some evidence is needed.
