(not OP) No, but you can block those with a regex pretty easily.

Developers and regex on email is always a terrible idea. So many fail to understand what the RFC allows (virtually anything). Can't tell you how often websites will reject an email address with a two-character localpart :-(

Yeah I can relate to that... some don't even realize TLDs longer than 3 chars exist (my primary domain uses a 4 char TLD)
