Is it right to blame Google/Yahoo for deprecating an email forwarding service?
My former university, Simon Fraser University, had a service for graduates where you could keep your old xxxxx@sfu.ca email address after graduation they would forward messages to an external email address.<p>I&#x27;ve been using this email address for 20 years now but they suddenly announced that they have to deprecate this service &quot;to comply with industry-wide regulations&quot; led by Google and Yahoo.<p>A FAQ was just posted (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sfu.ca&#x2F;information-systems&#x2F;announcements-alerts&#x2F;major-initiatives&#x2F;Changes-to-SFU-email-forwarding-protocol.html) but it has very little information as to why this was necessary.<p>Is there a legitimate technical reason why the Google&#x2F;Yahoo changes would make it impossible or difficult to continue offering mail forwarding?
