Yahoo mail verification?

[sixto]

I tried to send a URL to some buddies. Yahoo wouldn't send the message without some text "to make the message more meaningful" then threw in a Captcha as icing. Is this the best way they can reduce single URL spam? Hackers will work around this in 5 minutes and I'll be stuck with more ridiculous barriers.

Forward all yahoo mail to a gmail account and call it a day.
