    Yahoo’s spam from Malaysia

    Today I received an email from a guy from Malaysia. It’s the always the same story about a deceased man and a lawyer and some amount of money (5.7M$). The strange thing is that I’ve received it from Yahoo (on my Gmail account).
    I’m not an expert on Spam, but I thought that at least some email headers are not forgeable (it means that you can’t fake them). If you can’t fake them, then someone is using yahoo to spam.
