Thank you Chris. Maybe too soon to block all sg3.yahoo.com but in logs I only see spam and I wasn't sure, is this a dynamic range for DSL connectivity? Or does Yahoo originate legitimate mail thru here, I hoped someone knew more about Yahoo to give an insight.

Googling around, other example records:
tm13.bullet.mail.sg3.yahoo.com [6] (old result, no longer active)
sonic305-46.consmr.mail.sg3.yahoo.com [7]
(https://ipinfo.io/106.10.241.109)
sonic308.consmr.mail.sg3.yahoo.com [8]

(https://ipinfo.io/106.10.248.150)

SG3 may be a Yahoo means of denoting it's a Singapore AS with 3
routes/prefixes?
(https://dnslytics.com/ip/106.10.128.0-106.10.255.255)

etc. It's an AS registered at APNIC, managed by Yahoo Inc. employees
and whose parent AS is Oath Holdings (ARIN AS10310).

In logs I see a large amount spam from servers like

..this looks like it could be a home DSL location but before I ban
all
of sg3.yahoo.com [2] I would like to ask, where does valid Yahoo
mail come
from?
