MemberIt would be wrong for you to use such a program, it’s breach of their privacy, and it’s against the Yahoo! TOS.

MemberWhile back therewas a program, if an id was online, you would put it in the program, and it would send you back the full account, the main id as well as the aliases, and give you their ip, it got patched. Theres always programs popping up for crackers to put ids an pws into, that show you the full account, and a lot of times these progs have scripts in them that email back the programmer the ids an pws, one dood got hundreds of ids from this method.

MemberWhat reason would you have to know if someone’s got aliases….I mean…if that person WANTS you to know…s/he will TELL you…..otherwise…let it go….or ADD both ID’s and see if they come online at the same time. Think of it this way, if something is NOT easy to do…i.e. finding out aliases… then there’s a reason for that…like it’s not the proper thing to do, it’s a violation of privacy. Just because you CAN find a way to do something…even if it’s difficult, does NOT mean you SHOULD do it. Think about it this way, would you want someone to do that to you or someone you love??

thanks everyoneThe same here. Sometimes you need to know if you are being made a fool of.

Memberadd both ID’s and see if they come on at the same time. Or you can look at the profile on the website to see if it’s active at the sametime and goes off at the same time. Don’t be sorry for posting here….just be clear with your intentions…..that way your questions can be answered more easily and correctly. You are not malicious people, but there are plenty out there.

Memberhow if we check by send an email to the someoneID@yahoo.com. can we assume that the main id always can receive email, the aliases cannot? if the mailerdemon email you, then the id is alias? if it successly sent then it is main id?

MemberAlias IDs can receive e-mails too if you have the secondary e-mail activated and set up for it.
August 2, 2008 at 9:15 am #92613cybershotcam
MemberSo we can say that if the id cannot receive email, it must be an alias. If it can, we don’t know whether it is main or alias id. Can we assume like that? Is there any other way to check whether an email address is valid email address, without sending email? I have tried once on web, it said that the email address is valid, but when i tried sending to that address, it failed.
