Because a user was using the accounts to spam the boards. The way mailinator is set up, you can create endless accounts very quickly.

In an effort to curtail his spaming, and make him go through a full registration process for every new email address, I disallowed the use of mailinator email addresses.

I figure if he wants to spam, he should at least have to do some work.

I may revisit this at a later date, but then again, because of the type of email service it is, I may not.
