 Information Collection and Use Practices

    * In addition to registration information, Yahoo! allows you to
enter address and contact information into Yahoo! Address Book that is
stored on your behalf.
    * Yahoo! does not use any information stored in your Yahoo!
Address Book for any marketing or commercial purpose.


Now, there may be/are other issues with using Yahoo! for this.

Yahoo! is a quick & dirty solution of course.  Solve 90% of the
problem with 10% of the work :-)
