Why can't I receive-mail from one particular e-mail address?

How can I use one email address to mask another. Flickr?

• I was given a default email address with random words and numbers to upload to my flickr account but I want to use another email address to give people so they can upload pictures too. I cant advertise some random email address and flickr wont allow me to edit it. Thank you for all the help.

• Answer:

  You can redirect emails from another email account (all of my Tiscali emails are automatically forwarded to my Hotmail account). That's a function available in Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, pretty much any web based email service. You give out the web based email and have it redirected to Flickr. As a side note - be extremely careful as what you are planning to do would break Flickr rules. A flickr account should only contain uploads from the account holder (and even then it must be photos which you have taken). You also may not give any third party access to your account. Breaking either of these rules can result in the account being deleted.
