Most SPF records published are not like this.  Seems to me like
Yahoo doesn't have a good list of IPs so they took this shortcut
which is technically legitimate but it's making up for their incompetence
not having a handle on their mail flow.  They could have specific
mail ranges that all of their outbound mail comes from all over
the world and keep that pretty static so the rest of us could
properly whitelist their email.

Ok.  Postscreen doesn't use RDNS.  I stand corrected.  I will try
to solve this problem in my Postfix settings since it does use
RDNS.  If not, I guess I will give up and continue to have the
occassional issue woth inbound mail from Yahoo.  I doesn't
happen often, I was just trying to handle Yahoo mail in MailScanner/
SpamAssassin compeltely by letting through the MTA.
