X-Yahoo-Newman-Property (?)
Mail Man
What's the deal with these headers:
X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: calendar-contact
X-Yahoo-Newman-Id: redmunds_office1-1185743774
Who is Newman?
Does all Yahoo main have this shit?
Or can I use this to flag spam?

All SMTP headers preceeded by "X-" are considered unofficial. In short,
any vendor may make anything up that begins with "X-" (or "x-") without
having to register with the appropriate organization.

Yahoo would likely be the best source of infomation about these headers.

Yes, you can, but before doing so you might want to do some research
first to find out if Yahoo (or whoever is the source of these headers) is
using this for legitimate purposes to ensure legitimate mail doesn't get
flagged.
