To put it more technically or in mail related terms: e.mail.de belongs to the 
same organizational domain as mail.de and mail.de has a SOA record. So 
e.mail.de as its subdomain is fine. foo.in-berlin.de on the other hand does not 
belong to the same organizational domain as in-berlin.de or bar.in-berlin.de, 
if you take the private area of the PSL into account. Hence foo.in-berlin.de 
needs its own SOA record and does not inherit it from in-berlin.de or .de.

While I’m not affiliated with Yahoo, I see no reason to bash them in this 
regard. To reduce spam they don’t want to accept emails from made-up / 
non-existing domains, which is a legit concern. They query for SOA records to 
verify whether a given domain exists, which is unusual but actually less strict 
than requiring additional A or MX records.
Even without the help of Yahoo the issue can be fixed by removing in-berlin.de 
from the PSL or by not spanning a single DNS zone across unrelated domains 
which are in no trust relationship to each other.
