The Big Email Switch- and proof

I have had email accounts with (mail).com for ages and have used them for entering comps.
I decided to set up a yahoo co uk and am going through the switch so that all comps from now on go through that account.
It will take time but I hope it will be easier to manage.
So after entering the daily Up & Running comp yesterday I got my first ever confirmation email which I never had for all previous entries using .com email.
Is this proof that comp sponsors block some email extensions?
I wonder if anyone else has made the Big Switch and if they noticed and difference?

I've not switched emails and only use a .com, but I'd be interested to know if others have noticed a difference. I know a few comps in the past where posters have mentioned not getting confirmations and I've been surprised as had been getting them all myself. The Times iPad hourly one springs to mind, for example.
Also, I enter the Up & Running comp with my .com email address and still receive email confirmations, so that's not been a problem either

Instead of changing from a .com to .co.uk
I found it easier to buy a domain name for £1 a month (I can then have unlimited email addressees as I own that domain)
then I have all the emails forwarded to my .com email address0 -

I have a .com email and I entered the up & running comp daily and always got the confirmation email from them, thanking me for my entry.0
