Ahhh, OK. So no domain other than yahoo.com involved. I don't believe yahoo.com had set a subdomain policy so small business could have ESP send using @smallbusiness.yahoo.com with a reply to of yahoo.com, or simple send using the ESP's own domain with the same reply to as above? I know the first skirts the problem while the second doesn't address customers having white listed the original address. I'm just thinking practical "quick win" solutions and in no way trying to diminish challenges that a small business owner might face in these circumstances.

Eyes and brains are such interesting creatures. They have (minor pun) a mind of their own. What you cite is not what I specified. I said [email protected]. That's been their email address for years. It is their online identity. These are /very/ small business folk with tiny revenues, no technical skills, and a stable business. There are quite a large number of them in the world. And they need the smallest disruption possible to the conduct of their business life. And in case anyone thinks that recommending switching to their own domain name is "the" answer, that is a very, very long way from being a small disruption for such folk. That's why I cast the challenge of the situation in the way I original did. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
