It is forward thinking if you are thinking in terms of fooling spammers.  It
is not so great when your job includes trying to prevent persons from
committing ID theft in order to illegally obtain a payout.  Not so bad if
it is not a large-scale provider of email service, but you cannot flag
everyone with an @gmail.com address.
