Came this utterance formulated by Joan & Allen Holth to my mailbox:

Been there too. Some agressive email pattern matching wont allow anyone
from new zealand to register with a .maori.nz address.

The best pattern matching to employ is a loose one where you look for an
"@" and thats it. Then get anything that is spat out to go to a human
for deciphering. Often the address mistakenly has a space, a comma
instead of a period and can be recovered.

The best solution for you is to open a Gmail account and use that.
