Yes. :) I personally don't trust _any_ Received: lines that are not inserted by MTAs under my control, as it can be forged only too easily. > The message is received from 203.195.196.10.

What did you do to get the above mail, if you didn't "send it directly from your machine"? If you have a proxy server (squid, for example) in between your machine and Yahoo Mail, then the IP would be that of the proxy server.
