How does Yahoo police spammers using Yahoo e-mail addresses?

Question

"Bobbi Peacock" and "Foster Santiago" both sent the same e-mail addressed to dear homeowner regarding holiday homeowner loans. These were not sent to my Yahoo e-mail but rather to my work e-mail. I'd like these to stop. Typically I block such sites, but since the addresses are Yahoo I don't want to block the site. For now I'm just junking those specific addresses.

Answer 1

Both of those email addresses look fake, so its more likely the email doesn't originate from Yahoo. The username doesn't look remotely like something chosen by a human being, and my guess is that user name does not exist.

Most of the headers of the email you normally see in an email client can be faked.

Answer 2
