How do you know when an email requesting you to update your account is actually from Yahoo?

I just received an email requesting me to click a link to upgrade or update my mail account, because there has been a supposed virus attack on my email account. It looks suspicious. The email address does not even come from yahoo, but sbcglobal.net!
Answer:

Definately don't click! All Yahoo messages will be sent by Yahoo itself, so, don't click, just toss!

Yahoo won't send an email asking to update they just do the Pop ups on your mail page So just delete the email and have a great week J R :)

It's a scam. You should see any such notifications when you log on to Y!A.
