You can't have it both ways.....

Indeed I can, because it's right.

No, they've 'mangled' the envelope sender, which is what SRS requires
them to do.

No, you've got it wrong - you should report it to pobox.com, because
they've accepted responsibility for the message. That is precisely
what the fact that they use SRS means - they're acting as a
responsible forwarder. This is *good*.

If it needs reporting to yahoo.com, the people to do that are
pobox.com. They are able to determine the original sender.
