Met a service that wouldn't allow me to register using my own domain email address a week ago. Baffled me staring at the google, fb and twitter sso button with the form for email address giving error of "please use an email address from a reputable provider".

I have faced that at least on four occasions. Some were even for paid accounts. Who expects someone to pay to create a spam account?
