Yahoo "I have a new email" abuse

419 scammers are abusing the Yahoos "I have a new email" announce
service 

https://ecm.netcore.co.in/tmp/scam1.eml.txt

The scammer sets the message and sends the spams thru yahoos servers 
And the mails would go thru clean
Initially these were very few , but now the numbers are growing.
Yahoo should do better than allowing such a gaping loophole 


Thanks
Ram

According to the Received headers, it travelled via: GB, India, Korea, 
US, then Taiwan before getting to its destination (munged by you for I 
don't know what reason). long and winding road!
