By now I suspect you can simplify it down to just matching on the RHS for any domain registered to Yahoo.

A number of ISPs have used Yahoo to provide mail services in the past, so it's probably not quite as straightforward as that.

And not just small ISPs, but major ISPs, such as BT (with 32% of the broadband market-share in the UK).
