It could be that there is a legit email provider that got on the banned list inadvertently. Would you mind sharing the provider?

If you want to not do it in public you can DM me at olearycrew on Twitter or email boleary [at] gitlab.com

Hi! Yandex. Am I really the first to tell you? Yandex has a 30% market share in Russia.

No idea! But I'm going to find out :)

So we don’t think we’re explicitly blocking that and have users with that domain.

Could you DM / email me the details and a screen shot? I’ll try and help as best I can.

Have you tried signing up with an @yandex.com email? The signup page just reloads with this message:

1 error prohibited this user from being saved: Email is not from an allowed domain.

You don't need to have a Yandex account for that. Just put in whatever@yandex.com as your email and you get the above message.
