How to change my site's URL

Changing a Yahoo URL when I don't know the original contact email

Somebody (maybe even me) got my church's site listed in Yahoo eons ago. We recently changed domain names, and I want to tell Yahoo about the new URL. I found the Yahoo change page at [add.yahoo.com...] but it wants to know the email address of the contact person who originally proposed the site. I could guess that it was one of my long ago defunct email addresses, but I have no way of knowing for sure. It may not have even been me. Is there some surer way to get the URL changed? Thanks.

I would try resubmitting the new URL. Maybe when the do a lookup on it they will see the old site 404. If you choose to keep the old domain, use 301 redirects to point to the new site. That way, even if Yahoo doesn't change it, you can still keep the traffic.
