If you're a member of a non-US Yahoo site (as I am with >yahoo.com.au), you should be fine for the moment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think you may be right. The Register has a pair of Yahoo! articles about this subject today.
One of my "Yahoo Identities" is at yahoo.com though, and I have no problem with anything I've ever used there. But, as stated previously, I never use their POP3/re-direct/SMTP services anyway. With 5 e-mail addresses available (full service, 10 MB each etc..) from my ISP I don't really need to try to sort any more mailboxes. Yahoo is for junk only; as was hotmail until SPAM became the only thing ever delivered there. I allowed that one to die of neglect. -- Charlie in Edmonton, AB., Canada Mandrake 8.2 registered user 244963
