Post subject:  Is it still necessary to ban gmail addresses?

Some time ago gmail addresses were banned from the forums due to spammers, but is that still necessary?
The reason I ask is that I'm currently registered with my work email address, however I will be changing jobs soon and would like the forum to use my personal address which is a gmail one.

Hi Paul,
I just checked the admin panel and gmail is still banned.
You might have to ask Cecil by PM, assuming he added this rule. I don't know how many were coming through. About a year ago, almost 100% of spam was coming from yahoo addresses, and these are now on the banned list.
Mike
