That someone else must be me. Very Happy

gmail is not banned as a host for registration.
Only certain patterns that empirically has been proven to be used by spammers and phishers.
By doing this consequently have I been able to reduce the number of phony registrations with 90% in the past two weeks.

In fact I found this message thrue my checking of new members.
