Hi; I guess one thing that has always confused me about this is simply why would anyone want to use a free service such as Yahoo and send legitimate emails with a different return address?
What I can see from those that use Yahoo, hotmail or other free services are two fold: 1: People who don't want to use their company email for personal communication 2: People who don't have any other email address and use free services such as Yahoo In both of these legitimate scenarios I can't imagine anyone using a different return address. Would this actually be indicative of spam? Someone using Yahoo servers with a different return address? Something else that I can also see is someone using a different server sending and have Yahoo as return address. Why would anyone use a free service for return address when one has access to a private mail server? Perhaps this discussion belongs to the Junkmail group. Just brainstorming... Has anyone given the variations much thought?

Does Yahoo provide mail services for other companies and their domains? I would imagine mail from Yahoo's mail servers would always be from Yahoo or their users, right?
