I suspect that it isn't doing a reverse lookup; the original forward
lookup is changing the name, and Exim is updating its copy. This is done
so that DNS lookups of unqualified names (e.g. "myhost") become fully
qualified (i.e. turn into "myhost.mydomain.mytld") if the DNS server
behaves like this.

If all that matters is "yahoo.com" you could match using a regular
expression. Otherwise, you will have to do something hacky such as
preserve the host name in $address_data in the manualroute router, and
use that instead.
