As Yahoogroups is a dream for spammer...

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!

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?

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.)
