[SC-Help] response directly? from yahoo

It appears that I´ve recieved a couple of automated responses to spam 
reports directly from yahoo. It is my understanding that any response would 
be send to spamcop, and then forwarded to me. As far as I remeber Yahoo was 
hosting spamvertized pages, and not actually the spammers. I´m not a 
proficient header interpreter, but I do see spamcop mentioned in them. I 
have pasted one of the headers below (without my own mail adress).
My question is:
 Is it true that spamhosts can reply directly (without some sort of hidden 
code)?.
