It says that if I do not provide the information in two week's time, my e-mail account will be cancelled. I replied the e-mail ( i.e. ) trying to find out if it was a real e-mail from yahoo but it was undelivied. I would like to get your confirmation that the e-mail I received is not a fake one trying to steal my personal details and is really from yahoo. I would be pleased if you could give me a firm reply as soon as possible. I received an e-mail from Yahoo stating "Verify your free yahoo account now" and ask for my personal information.

I even made up some (like email@ and mail@). "admin@" was just the simplest and first one that came to mind. :-) I've filled out the form. I also believe our SPF and PTRs are fine, and in the email I was sent when I signed up for a test account (to paste the contents of the email into their form), the headers seemed perfectly well formed to me. I doubt vBulletin would create a "bad" or malformed email. Benjamin said on July 16, 2009:

I'd find it pretty unusual that any of these big companies actually check emails sent to postmaster@... Best way to contact them is to fill out the form that Kevin linked to above.
