geocities domain and spam

Folks,

Messages containing the string geocities.com are getting
caught in Yahoo's spam filter 100% of the time. That means
they sit in limbo until a moderator reviews them. That
can make messages appear out of order. Also, in the unlikely
event I should stop checking the spam filter 60 times a day,
it might mean your message gets tied up for a longer period.
My suggestion is to use

I'm surprised yahoo has such a stupid setup, especially as geocities
is owned by yahoo. Very strange.
