Feature Description

I would like to ban registration from gmail.com, due to the amount of activated (!) spam accounts from there.
I get over 20 every week, with hCaptcha enabled. They are usually ads that exploit the URL field in profile bio.

Blacklisting gmail is not the best solution, but I believe hCaptcha is not working because these are not bots, it's Indians doing it manually. (Guessing by the kind of ads I get there). Most real users who come to my gitea to file a MR or an issue have their own blog/domain and use that for the e-mail.

This is essentially #4305, but implemented as a blacklist, not whitelist.

I just had an idea how this proposal could be improved - a kind of "graylist" where - if the e-mail domain matches - the account would be queued for manual confirmation.

That way, people who legitimately use the banned domains can still get in, but spammers are, hopefully, blocked.

But that will make more maintain things.

Really good proposal. This is a very common issue. A queue for manual confirmation would be great. Even, as a global flag for every single account.

Already done by Allow blocking some email domains from registering an account #14667 ?
