Good points Harv.
But I fail to see why anyone would use such an address
as their primary email address.
Matter of personal choice ... I have other addresses I use for other purposes.
a way that if I alter my return address in any way from what it is
the ISP will kick it right back to me without sending it out.

There is also many many ISP's and IP address that are " blocked "
from this ISP for to reason of spaming.
As part of my personal spam control I block *ALL* mail coming
direct from any web based email service ( yahoo, hotmail, gmail)
Including ARRL dot net and the list goes on.... Reason, 99.999%
of these on line have an email account and address with their ISP....

It may soon be the law of the land that you CAN NOT alter your
return address... That will stop a lot of spam as well as hate mail.

Sorry guys for being off topic....
