It's actually a pretty small list, and the only addresses you can
generally get at these providers are disposable.
I agree that it would be worth publicising the list, we're not trying to
limit the users, just remove potential problems. (it's not useful for a
user to have an account from spam gourmet that can only receive 5 emails
for example!)
