When logging into yahoo mail, I am being prompted the following: You are logging in from a device we don't recognize. Learn whyFor your account safety, please answer your security question below. What is your oldest cousin's name? Added December 18, 2009 

             OR

We can send a verification code to your listed phone number or alternate email address.

The email that is sent comes from Yahoo! Account Services <yahoo-account-services-us@cc.yahoo-inc.com>
