Some (most? many?) mailservers out there will accept mail from anywhere,
claiming to be whoever (as in they don't check the validity of the
supposed sending domain).  This seems to be the case with the yahoo mail
system.

In the past, this was not considered a problem at all but as
spamming/open-relaying of mail on the Internet grows, it's becoming more
and more of a problem.
