Can spammers guess my real address from one of my disposable addresses?

No. The base name that you choose for all your disposable addresses cannot be your Yahoo! ID or profile, so your real Yahoo! Mail address can't be derived from your disposable addresses. When you reply to an email sent to a disposable address, Yahoo! Mail uses that disposable address as the default "from address" in order to protect your real Yahoo! Mail address.
