fake Microsoft emails and Yahoo Mail

Most of the fake emails go to my Bulk folder which is nice but
sometimes 1-2 get into my Inbox, assumedly because they have a new
domain name. Is there anything I can do besides just keep classifying
them as spam?

Sometimes it overloads my mail too before I can delete them.

I wouldn't rely just on Yahoo's spam filtering to get rid of the crap.
You might want to use SpamPal (for additional spam filtering) and
YahooPOPs to access (for free) your Yahoo account(s).

e-mail client <-- SpamPal <-- YahooPOPs <-- Yahoo

SpamPal and YahooPOPs run as local proxies. SpamPal support POP3,
IMAP4, and SMTP (but not WebDAV, HTTPmail, or proprietary webmail
interfaces). YahooPOPs is an HTTP-to-POP3 protocol converter proxy.

You can even triple up on the spam filtering. I have Norton Internet
Security 2003 which includes its SpamAlert product. It will scan
incoming e-mails for spam, too. That way, I have Yahoo's spam
filtering, SpamPal's spam detection, and SpamAlert's spam detection
along with some of my own rules (far better than what you can define at
Yahoo although I still have some rules at Yahoo to do some
pre-filtering).

Are you accessing the email with MSOE? If so, there are a few mail proxy
client filters that will act in place of MSOE to scan the email, then pass
it on to MSOE. Usually they will mark suspected spam by tagging the subject
line, so you can write an MSOE rule to move them to a different folder.

But how you handle spam depends a lot on how you are accessing the mail
account.
