Allah?

Just came across this: Verizon (Yahoo, in fact) forbids the word "allah" in it's mail addresses, even if your name happens to be Callahan or any other combination with the letters "allah" in between.

More info here.

Hmm. Wonder what they will do with existing adresses? I'm not sure it is not a hoax though - I'll try tonight, with gmail as well.

UPDATE: apparently Allah's mailserver is back up again - see here.
