Facebook steadfastly refuses to accept my email address saying that it is not a valid address. Well it works for the alug list and every other site I've needed to use it for. Quite why mail@mydomain.co.uk isn't valid escapes me so I'll confine it to to my room 101 with my yahoo account and various other badly programed crap.
John,
When posting to the list please be aware that there are many different age groups who may be reading be be aware of the language you are using. Some may find your use of the word "yahoo" offensive.

Seriously though, I can only think that some trap is thinking that mail@ is a bogus email address which is more than a little braindead.
Personally I still assign different local-part's (blah@) to different services which in the case of facebook does make it a bit harder for people to find me. But does at least mean that when someone sells my soul to spammer scum I can start to work out who it was.
