It's easy for a system administrator to find out all the accounts with
that email address and block them.
We could also block that domain from address verification, too.

I'm not friend of limiting access to the tools (eg. "please wait 1 hour
for sending another mail"), but it could raise a notice in the logs if
it surpasses some threshold.
