Hmm, blocking #Gmail from my little web forum has annoyed some users, but also vastly reduced the amount of russian spam accounts needing manual filtering, as the majority of those were using Gmail addresses.
It all started with Gmail refusing our emails, so users couldn't sign up anyways. Not sure it's a bad thing now.
