I hope that's sarcasm? Instead of getting the bounces your messages will simply go missing after they accepted it...or you will get bounces sent to you a few years after you sent the message...(happened to a client yesterday...).

Naaah.  I hear that Microsoft is going to buy Yahoo!, so this problem will
go away once Yahoo! mail gets folded into Microsoft hotmail, whereupon
things will get soooooo much better!
