The problem is that wrongdomain.com isn't coming from the IMail server:

>Received: from wrongdomain.com (EHLO
>correctdomain.com) (00.29.30.000) by
>mta521.mail.yahoo.com with SMTP; 24 Nov 2001 16:47:14
>-0800 (PST)

Although this header is a bit different from the way that most are done 
(since the IP isn't included, or was removed before you posted it), the 
general principle is the same:  There are 2 host names, rather than just 
one.  That's because all another mail server really knows about yours is 
its IP address.  You can claim to be any domain you want.

So, many mailservers will do something include the IP address, the domain 
name (from the HELO/EHLO statement), and then the reverse IP address of the 
IP address of the mail server.  I'm guessing that wrongdomain.com is the 
reverse DNS entry for the IP address of your mail server.

You may want to use our Reverse DNS Tester at http://www.declude.com/tools 
to verify this, entering the IP address of your mail server.
