You will find that the real "From" address in the envelope was
<sentto-2369197-777-1012639464-rishi=theargoncompany.com at returns.groups.yahoo.com>

It's that address that matters, not what you happen to put in the headers.
Put "returns.groups.yahoo.com" in the spam.whitelist.conf, restart
MailScanner and try the same test again.
