Question The email address you entered has been banned by the administrator. Please try another.

I want to change my email address to my new one on protonmail.com but when I enter it it says "The email address you entered has been banned by the administrator. Please try another." can someone unban it?

Huh, I'm glad protonmail was reallowed. I'm moving away from Google and I don't really trust any other big email providers atm except for protonmail (for now at least).

That's the same reason I switched from gmail

What kind of stupid implementation doesn't allow exceptions?
Just keep the ban up and put an exception to a single address, or whoever needs an exception, to just allow that?

You do realise the amount of manual intervention that course of action would require right?

A "secure" and "encrypted" email server based out of Switzerland sounds like a bad idea, no? Some of you people make no sense.

There are ways to work around that.
Either stick to your guns and keep a domain banned, or figure something else out if you don't want a flood of bots.
Choosing for either one of the "extremes" is just as stupid, because the amount of "manual intervention" will also be increased because of bots, so what is your point?

Whitelisting as a procedure would take more time with less staff members being capable of doing so as opposed to banning spambots which can be done with the click of a button by any moderation staff.

Let's agree to disagree then, i'm thinking in solutions, not problems. If no one can think of a solution other than literally opening or closing a floodgate, then the implementation should be reworked.
but that's just my opinion.
