Catchall email facility removed without notice

Ever used a catchall email address? You know... one that isn't registered anywhere... but has [Email Removed] at the end so you know you'll get it? Like [Email Removed] <br> Well, Yahoo have offered that facility to me for nearly 12 years. That's a lot of cleverly crafted email addresses handed out. Like [Email Removed] so I know it's from Yahoo. And if I get spam... I know who's leaked my address. Well... long story short... After years of great service, Yahoo pulled the plug on this feature I pay for... without even informing me! So here I sit... re-registering on aaaallll those accounts where I trusted my service provider's offering to ensure that no matter what I put before the @ sign... the email would get to me. What an AWFUL state of affairs. I can't imagine I'm the only one to use this feature. To have it revoked has had a serious impact on me. I've lost a week's worth of mail and at least a days worth of effort to now resolve this problem. Who remembers where they've registered on various Internet sites over 12 years! And now I have no way of knowing if something important bounces back to the sender. Yuck. That's not great service Yahoo! Ouch!
