This is what I've used in the check recipient ACL to allow true yahoo
accounts, and deny impersonators:
deny log_message = Administrative prohibition: probable yahoo host
impersonation
message = No thank you: please send through Yahoo servers
!hosts = *.yahoo.com
sender_domains = yahoo.com
delay = 2m
Works wonders. I do the same with AOL, since neither allow sender verify.
