In fact, we don't advise them to do either one.  The cautionary message is 
to remind the significant (~10%) portion of people who try to sign up 
using blocked email addresses why it might be that they're failing and not 
seeing any error messages from us.

Believe me, we'd much prefer people found better ways of dealing with 
spam.
