As they say on another fine forum I have avoided for awhile.

It's pretty unusual

It's not typical for spammers to spoof IPs (if you want a source for that, just
look at how effective IP blocklists are).

It's not particularly easy to do either as while obviously you can't trust any
of the client headers, every mail server it passes through should be adding it's
own received: header and without compromising them, that's hard to spoof. I
don't think it's unreasonable to assume there's a good chance that most of the
originating IP addresses are accurate.

Sounds like a Yahoo/PEBCAK threat though if it's actually true - not sure why
you think it's an attack on android.

I don't blame Microsoft for accusing Google.

After all, email spambots are Microsoft's home territory -
given that more than 80% of email spam originates from
infected/compromised Windows computers. It is only natural
that Microsoft raises a big hue and cry when it suspects that
may be intruding into what is effectively its own territory.
