As in, they check "if domain != 'gmail.com' { fuckyou(); }"? Or as in "they MTAs are not very good and just don't deliver email"?
- harshalizee 4y agoLiterally that. If your email domain doesn't come from a set of whitelisted domains (gmail, yahoo, msn, etc.) they just don't let you create an account. I have accounts in the US, EU and Asia due to family, etc. and this kind of restriction is fairly common in EU/Asia
- Beltalowda 4y ago> this kind of restriction is fairly common in EU/Asia Interesting; I can't say I recall ever encountering such a restriction anywhere, including banks, and I have or had bank accounts in a number of European (and other) countries. I've encountered other problems, but not this. Not that I'm doubting your experience of course; just interesting I never had problems with it.
