I don't know enough of the specifics of yahoo's scoring.

However, in my experience it is better to have your sending host IP have a 
resolvable PTR record than not.  I'm quickly loosing track of this thread, but 
it appears bobhoffman.com has that covered.

As an aside, it would be my expectation that forward/reverse DNS literal 
matching wouldn't be scored highly (if at all) simply due to the common use of 
virtual hosting and the like, let alone the split in/out mail architecture 
already discussed.
