Yahoo's disposable addresses

[Michelle]

For those of you that are familiar with Yahoo Plus, they allow users to
create "disposable" addresses that are like aliases to your main account.
If you find out that you're getting too much spam from one of these
disposable accounts, you just delete that particular address.

My question is whether or not it is possible for Entourage to allow you to
send from one of these disposable addresses. You can set it up in Yahoo to
allow you to send from these addresses, but I can only figure out how to do
this from the Yahoo Mail page itself. I'm not finding a way within
Entourage.

Is this impossible or am I just missing it somewhere?

What Yahoo calls disposable addresses are actually "aliases". I've used
aliases for a long time now, and hide behind them as much as possible.

Unfortunately I've not found a way in Outlook or Entourage to send from an
alias. The only thing I've been able to do is create free POP mail addresses
and use those. Those are also disposable. I have a disposable POP account
that I use for ebay and craigs list. But still, I've not found a way to send
from your alias.

See this explanation on how to use alias addresses. It's written for dot
Mac, but would apply to any alias address.
