[keycloak-user] Blacklisting/whitelisting of domains for email entered during user registration

[Vlastimil Elias]

Hi,

you are right, it should be better to have common set of 
blacklisted/whitelisted domains for all user profile related actions 
(register, update profile), so it is similar as user profile attribute 
validation. But as it is not a common validation I'll create new Feature 
Request in jira for this (and probably link it to the common user 
attribute validation jira).

Thanks everybody in this thread for their opinion.
