As if email from freebie @yahoo.com addresses isn't enough, Yahoo has 
now announces two new domains that the freebie spammers can spam from:

ymail.com and rocketmail.com

*SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo Inc. is offering free e-mail accounts under two 
new designations in an effort to attract Web surfers unhappy with their 
current addresses.*

The Sunnyvale-based company expects to begin registering new addresses 
under the domains of "ymail" and "rocketmail" around noon PDT Thursday 
at http://mail.yahoo.com.

It will be the first time that Yahoo has offered e-mail accounts under 
umbrellas other than its own company name since it became a 
correspondence conduit in 1997.

Yahoo began offering free e-mail shortly after its $80 million 
acquisition of Four11 Corp., which included the rocketmail domain. 
Rocketmail users at the time of the acquisition were allowed to keep 
their existing accounts, but Yahoo hadn't accepted any new addresses 
under that name until now.

The diversification into new e-mail designations is being driven by the 
difficulty that people are having as they try to find an appealing 
e-mail handle under the Yahoo domain.
