Email addresses that end Yahoo.com

Hi, I am a volunteer moderator for our local Freecycle site and we are being inundated with harvesters and spammers trying to gain access to the site. We now moderate all new members.

Can anyone tell me that if someones email address ends yahoo.com instead of yahoo.co.uk does that mean it hasn't originated in the UK?

I am fighting the spammers as much as I can and if this is true I can go ban a few more members.

No, it doesn't, yahoo gave everyone yahoo.com addresses, as did msn and other world wide ISP's, then changed to yahoo.co.uk/hotmail.co.uk so they could have extra email addresses.
Sorry.

No, I would imagine it simply means the address was created on yahoo.com rather thean yahoo.co.uk. EG I have a hotmail.com address rather than a hotmail.co.uk one.

Oh well, thought it might be too good to be true.
