You're right, I was making an assumption I shouldn't have.  Namely that 
there was a single host/ip for both sending and receiving email.  Going 
back to the logs he posted I'd say that assumption was correct in the end.

 From the yahoo headers:
"Received:   from 72.35.68.59 (EHLO mail.bobhoffman.com)"

So his MTA is EHLOing as mail.bobhoffman.com
mail.bobhoffman.com resolves to 72.35.68.59 (matches the incoming ip)
72.35.68.59 reverses to bobhoffman.com (which doesn't match the host)

As far as I can tell this will hurt his score.
Or am I missing something?
