    I wonder if you guys have seen this same problem? So let's say I get an email from Amazon's customer service, and I click on reply, then it all of a sudden the emailaddress will show up in read, as if it's not a legitimate one? :cautious:

    I rarely use Amazon and I never had to write to customer support. May it is just autogenerated e-mail address unique to this support ticket? Just like unique bank account number can be autogenerated and tied to customer?
    If sender is legitimate and reply domain is legitimate then I wouldn't worry about rest of e-mail address.

    What happens is that I get an email from amazonnlprimevideodutchemail@amazon.nl, but when I click on reply I get to see some autogenerated e-mail address, which is most likely ''unique to the support ticket'' like you mentioned.

    In the past, Yahoo Mail never had a problem with this, but now it can't recognize this as a legitimate address. So I can't reply to it, and it also happens with other companies. So might this be some bug in Yahoo Mail?

    BTW, all of a sudden this problem has been fixed. I can once again mail to these ''autogenerated e-mail addresses.'' So I assume someone messed up, it was a bug indeed. Either that or something fishy is going on, at least on my machine. :thumbd:

    I'm afraid you're misunderstanding, this isn't about spam. It was about a bug in Yahoo Mail, which meant that I couldn't reply to certain companies anymore. So I couldn't reply to specific people who work at those companies.
