I have a rule that compares just domain parts of the addresses -
${domain:$h_From:} and ${domain:$sender_address}.
Seems in legal e-mail they are almost always identical - and in this list
too :-)

I think that you need to revise and understand what the components are.

Exim is MTA, it will happily send email to the yahoo MTAs for people with yahoo mailboxes.
If someone with a yahoo account sends mail to someone with mail hosted on your machine,
their MTA will speak to yours (Exim) and transfer the mail.
All these transfers happen using the SMTP protocol.

Fetchmail is used for retrieving mail that has been delivered to a mailbox, it will
do this using the POP3 or IMAP protocols. Once the mail has been retrieved,
fetchmail will invoke exim to deliver it to a local mailbox.
