1. No matter what's written there, Yahoo is an acceptable address, the proof being that one of the accounts was registered using a Yahoo Canada account, and the activation mail was properly received (not in spam!).
2. Thank you for deleting ludditus1, if it was you (or whoever they were).
3. No, I couldn't find the option to delete the account. If it was eaten by my ad-blocker, it wasn't my fault: I did want to keep the ad-blocker off, but whoever designed the ads for the forum didn't properly test the layout. They covered the left and right side of the actual contents, so the forum was unusable with the ads on. But I still believe the delete option wasn't there. If you google for how to delete a SMF account, you'll find "go to Actions, select Delete Account". Well, under Actions there's only "Download profile data."
4. Outlook is not listed as "not acceptable" in that page. Besides, Outlook.com is not "a client address" and this is not about being in Spam. Did you read what I wrote? It was nowhere! As a blog owner for 17 years, and a software developer since 1994, I know what that means: the mail was bounced back, it was simply not accepted by the server, hence not received. This has nothing to do with my per-user spam options. Also, Outlook.com uses the same infrastructure as the professional, paid offerings of Microsoft 365. Don't try to make it look like it's still Hotmail. (And again: it wasn't about my spam settings which, frankly, are also not always observed.)
5. Nobody can force me to use a GMail address. Nobody. I do have 3 such addresses (because Android), but I never read them. I even switched to a Google-free Huawei lately.
