I don't know why you're messing around with hotmail or yahoo. You can
get your own domain and and email hosting for $18 a year. Make up an
infinite number of email names, etc. Add a website for another $24 a year.


Exactly. And if you don't need to access that domain on the road, you
can restrict your domain "origin point" with your ISP so that if mail
with your domain didn't come from their POP server, it's nuked. That
means it become very difficult to "spoof" your address and domain.

It's sometimes called an SPF...Sender Policy Framework. Kills spam
appearing to originate with you dead.
