This assumption is invalid and useless. Focus on the hops in the
received headers instead.

[snip]

>>>Received: from mailin14.aul.t-online.de (mailin14.aul.t-online.de 
>>>[172.20.26.71])
>>>        by mhead22 with LMTP; Wed, 25 Jan 2006 16:09:06 +0100

Now it all depends on whether this header is "trusted" or not. said
otherwise, do you trust 172.20.26.71? (administrative trust, not
compromised, ...). If you trust it, then you can check the next headers.
Otherwise, the next headers may be forged.

This may be the point to make clear with yahoo (after you have clear
args for them).

>>>X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.2
>>>Received: from smtp106.biz.mail.re2.yahoo.com ([206.190.52.175]) by 
>>>mailin14.sul.t-online.de
>>>        with smtp id 1F1mCc-20oHIm0; Wed, 25 Jan 2006 16:04:54 +0100

so if you trust 172.20.26.71, then it passed through yahoo network.
