You should block email from webmail clients. I hear they're very easy to use.

  Quite a few registration forms do block webmail addresses for reasons of abuse.

    Registration forms that were built in the 90s, agreed.

      No, I regularly find modern registration forms that won't accept mailinator or even hotmail addresses (and your service is probably more akin to mailinator than hotmail).

  webmail clients are only blocked 'due to abuse' because it's easy to make bots to register fake email addresses. But even that is not fool-proof. I remember that back when AOL on dial-up was my internet connection, the 'master' account could create multiple 'child' accounts. So even the ISP in that case could allow you to create a 'fake' email for the purpose of registration.

    They're also blocked because of a high number of users (proportional to other e-mail services) registering accounts to troll anonymously.
