From #fedora-apps on Freenode:

10:03 <ultrav1olet> [06:55:24] I'm trying to register at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/new and I get this error: email: 'xxxx@xxxx.com' is a blacklisted email.
10:03 <ultrav1olet> [06:56:28] I'm curious what's going on. Whether it's my domain that's blacklisted (gmx.com) or my email address (which is quite unlikely but who knows).

Problem is due to gmx.com being blacklisted in spam due to the SPAM attacks from 2 years ago. It might be a good time to review this list and just limit the list to accounts which are 1 time email accounts versus other sites.

This will need a review by the security officer before it can be undone.

Problem should be fixed now.
