If you've been using your Rogers email account to send email from non-Rogers addresses (e.g. from your own personal domain), you have probably already encountered the new blocking of non-registered addresses. The good news is you can verify your email and then send as you did before. The bad news, which I just found out in their help information, is
Every primary and secondary Rogers e-mail ID can verify up to 10 alternate email addresses each.

That means if you often send outgoing email e.g. based on service name ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) you're sort of... well, stuck, to put it politely.
Although I only have about three main addresses I use within my domain, I probably have dozens that I may use on occasion.
Note that this only affects sending, you can still receive unlimited email redirects.
I can see that Rogers wants to limit outgoing spam possibilities.
But there's no reason I shouldn't be able to have 100 alternate emails, not 10.
Now it is 10 per ID, so you can get a few more alternative emails that way.
If you want to go beyond those limitations, Rogers says
Customers with greater requirements should should review the web hosting and email options available from Rogers Business Solutions
However, this is also a completely separate system within Yahoo email for generating alternative emails.
It's called Yahoo AddressGuard™ ("disposable addresses") and it allows you to create ?unlimited? accounts of the format [email protected], e.g. [email protected], [email protected]
It's under Mail Options.
It's not easy to get links to Rogers Yahoo Mail help, but here are some from regular Yahoo

The problem with using AddressGuard versus your own domain is of course that you lose portability, if you decide to change service providers.
