My first thought is that Yahoo wants to make money by selling your email address, so they go to considerable trouble to make sure people don't use antispam addresses.

Am I right? Or is there a more mundane explanation?

I've used recursor.net for Yahoo and haven't had any problems.

They block recursor.net now too. They must be reading the SG FAQ!

[SysKoll]

Well, you can always buy a domain and redirect it to point to spamgourmet.com. Without advertizing the fact. May I suggest Yahoo_is_a_pain.org?

[Guest]

That's a goog idea

I will test an address overthere.

If they sell the adress, I would now understand why those addresses are spammed ...

It's a shame that free service providers start banning this great tool for fighting spam.

They might think that one could register a zillion of times using the same real address, but using a zillion spamgourmet addresses.

In any case, one could do the same registering many times in fastmail, yahoo, hotmail or terra, so this is a nonesense.

I'm successfully using SG's neverbox.com domain to receive Yahoo Groups digests.

I have all of the yahoo groups that I'm subscribed to send their digests to yahoogroups.myacct@neverbox.com -- and since all of the digests come from yahoogroups.com, I have set yahoogroups.com as a trusted sender for myacct.

(Your mileage may vary: This is working 11/3/04, but it's possible that yahoo may block or change things in the future.)
