Careful here. Email senders have nothing to do with MX records.
Email receivers do.
I believe bobhoffman.com is the email sender in this case.
I would doubt this is an issue. Any split in/out mail server is going
to have a different host for receipt (MX) than send.

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.
no, it won't.
- his IP is 72.35.68.59. This resolves to bobhoffman.com, which resolves
back to the IP. all good.
- his helo is mail.bobhoffman.com, which resolves to 72.35.68.59, which
is the server that sends mail. that's more than perfect.
- his helo starts with "mail.". He gets a bonus in some places.
Or am I missing something?
"double lookup" is IP -> name -> IP. you don't do name -> IP -> name.
