All of a sudden, a user was able to register for my community using a GMAIL account. I don't understand how that is possible as I've blocked sign-ups from "free" email providers using this new functionality. When I clicked on "View List" I noticed that there are underscores ('_') in the provider domains and not periods (','). Could this be the problem or do you suspect it is something else?
