[openbeos] Re: Forwarded email: Mailing list troubles

We banned aol.com and yahoo.com (I can't think of any more domains, but I am 
sure that there is at least one more, just to spite me) from the forums because 
of the high amounts of trouble that there are with free email accounts from 
those domains. I promise you, Patric, it is NOT about you. Your particular 
address isn't banned.

If this is something that you (or anyone) absolutely can't work around (i.e. 
you have no other address and can't get another one for any reason), please get 
with me - we *will* work something out for you. No one (except spammers and 
other such folks) should be left out.

We will also be looking into changing the message that the forum responds with 
to indicate that the whole domain is blocked so that people don't mistake this 
for a personal issue. Sorry about the confusion, Patric.
