For Yahoo, you should have domainkeys setup properly.

For Hotmail, you should setup a null SPF 2 (senderID) record 
(http://www.openspf.org/SPF_vs_Sender_ID) like this "spf2.0/pra".  This 
solved all off my issues with Hotmail/MSN.  Before, I had the same 
Hotmail issues you describe.

You should also have a normal SPF 1 record.

Google checks both SPF and DK.
