That's a very interesting analysis, thanks for posting it.

I thought yahoo groups sets their own sender domain.

Can you share the details of the small lists and .forwards?  Do the
.forward accounts belong to you or does the forwarding happen earlier up
the chain?

We are probably an anomalous sample --- average users don't come within
3 degrees of a .forward file.
