In Yahoo Mail, it's possible to create "disposable" email addresses consisting of two parts, an arbitrary "base name" and a "keyword".
Once set, is it possible to delete and start over with a different base name?
In Yahoo Mail, how can I change the “base name” of a disposable email address

You have a period at the end of the email address
users-digest-subscribe@httpd.apache.org.

It should be users-digest-subscribe@httpd.apache.org (no period)
Removing the period gets me a reply from the Apache Digest with the subject
confirm subscribe to users@httpd.apache.org
It appears the local part / username of the email address must be 64 characters or less for it to be accepted by Yahoo! Mail.
This restriction is not seemingly enforced by all providers, but it is in the spec here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Syntax
The format of email addresses is local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the domain name may have a maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters

I have been trying to change it too. It seems that you can't. The UI confused me and I ended up having a really stupid basename. See this link for more info.
You may try contacting their "tech support" but being a free account, I think they'll just ignore us.
