Hey, what do you know... if you trust both uksolutions.net
and yahoo.com's
Received: lines, it didn't originate at Yahoo - it came
from p4pnet.net. ;)

(A fine demonstration of the difference between being
truthful and being helpful

Only problem with that is 172.30.132.19 is part of
NetRange:   172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
CIDR:       172.16.0.0/12
NetName:    IANA-BBLK-RESERVED

So even if you did trust that Received line, it still had to
come from 
inside yahoo.com (unless someone briefly announced some of
172.16.0.0/12 
and yahoo both accepted the route and relayed for it).

AFAIK, from other lists, Yahoo is aware of this screwup
(disclaiming 
responsibility for 216.145.48.0/20) and is working on it.
