Can my yahoo mail be forwarded to another email address automatically?

Yahoo sent email asking to verify account details to avoid suspension?

  • I received email apparently from Yahoo (although full header is just a bit weird) saying due to suspicious activity if I don't verfiy email details by clicking on link provided the account with be suspended. Is this for real, I don't think so but it's nice to know. Below is header and email..................
