I don't block any email services. You are welcome to use a Yahoo or Gmail address.
To stop the spam registrations all new registrations are filtered through a database called StopForumSpam. It rejects ten's of thousands of spam registrations every month on this site. Then I do an IP lookup on the rest before approving them. I don't approve registrations made through proxy servers or from places like Russia or Eastern Europe. You can see by the absence of spam on this forum that my steps work pretty well.
