Mostly whenever one receives a mail from a scammer it has a domain name like @abcd.com/in/tu/te etc. but when one click on reply it changes to abcd@gmail/yahoo.com etc. Are they using any software to send mails which show their real email address only when the reply button is clicked?
What email are scammers using

You can do this in Gmail as well - https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en#zippy=,change-default-reply-to-address

But you will anyways get caught easily if misused..
The idea was not to misuse it but to know how they are doing it.
This can also be done in Yahoo Mail. Does it show our real email id when one clicks on reply?
No idea how to do that and no interest in becoming a "hacker"

Header will have such info. though not easily visible to common people but scans can unmask/reveal the parent id.
No.
you need to understand SMTP. the rfc that details SMTP (technical specification) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321
so basically, when you look at the entire message... (email is just the body part of the message) you can uncover a lot more information. in gmail/yahoo you can view the full headers. for example, if you want to report a scammer you open copy the full headers and submit it to spamcop.com and they will report the domain to authorities to ban them.
Thanks. Once reported about a scammer to cert-in who was saying that he's from rbi. But the goberment babus did nothing.
