[support] Many false applications for accounts

[Jamie Holly]

Keep an eye on the email addresses too. GMail offers simple aliasing of 
email addresses. Basically youremail+somealias at gmail.com will go to 
youremail.

(FYI - a + is valid in an email account, but GMail doesn't allow them in 
their accounts, so doing a broad *+*@*.*  would catch emails that are legit)
