In addition to the excellent ideas already on the table, I suggest
disallowing the domain names of the top N sites (pick your flavor
of "top", pick your N), e.g., do not allow:
ebay.com@
amazon.com@
google.com@
and so on. There are many, MANY people out there who don't grasp the
difference between RHS and LHS of email addresses and will be fooled
by these. You might also want to consider disallowing the domain
names sans the TLD, e.g., ebay@, amazon@, google@ for the same reason.
