Trust you must have read our previous posts on issues with yahoo mail ids. We are now close of 20 days since we first raised hell. We have received, finally, a mail from yahoo informing us that “the status of our domain has been altered in their database”. Yet “they cannot assure that all mails will be delivered to the users” but “we can get in touch with the users and ask them to approach Yahoo to deliver the mails from our domain into the mail box” Makes sense? Not to us.

We have some 5000 users registered with yahoo ids. We will have to call all 5000 users and get them to contact Yahoo? Now does it make sense? Come to think of it… We still have one question… who is the bigger looser? The Yahoo user who does not know what mails he is missing? Or is it us for we are sure to loose 25-30 of the yahoo users. If you are reading this post and you have a yahoo mail id it’s for you to decide ‘who is the bigger looser?’ But we have business to do. We have decided to disallow yahoo ids on iPOTT. When you register and type in a yahoo id you will be asked to provide an alternate id. Till we decide otherwise, Yahoo mail Ids cannot be used to register on iPOTT. We will be extending this ban to all other areas like RFI submission, Subscribe etc. on iPOTT.
