yeah, that is there. it wasn't so when i registered a year or so ago.
they were then accepting people from all over the world. but that has
changed since. and they check the validity of the address against some
kind of database they have, so just typing in random strings doesn't
work. i recently had to use the bremen public library's address in order
to help a friend get an account ;-)  i didn't like doing it, but
consoled myself by saying that it was probably a one-off thing i wasn't
going to repeat. the next time i get a request, i'll ask him to pay for
yahoo's commercial pop/smtp service, which i heard is pretty good.
