said by Mele20:Geez...now I have to inform several persons that I will no longer communicate with them unless they use an email address other than Yahoo. :(
Not just Yahoo! There are a few ISPs which use Yahoo! servers for their email. Rogers Cable, of Canada. BT Internet, of the UK. And both AT&T and Verizon in the US. I don't know all of the domains involved, but there are eleven AT&T domains, a result of their assorted mergers over the years:
• ameritech.net
• att.net
• bellsouth.net
• flash.net
• nvbell.net
• pacbell.net
• prodigy.net
• sbcglobal.net
• snet.net
• swbell.net
• wans.net
Any of those can go through Yahoo! servers:

Another ISP, DSL Extreme, has a similar arrangement with Gmail. And can be used for hosting domain email for any of a number of domains not related to ISPs. My guess is, you will just have to abandon email altogether! ;)
