Prevent signups using google group emails #56

After looking into this a bit more, I don't think it's possible to programmatically check if a given email address is a mailing list/group or not. Our best option here might just be to hardcode a list of disallowed possible usernames, and we could probably ask the help desk for the mailing lists they have active.

Are we unable to use the Google Groups API? We might be able to obtain a list of the groups through this:

I'm pretty sure that requires admin access to the MICDS G Suite.

Something to consider: I'm fairly sure that switching our authentication process to Google OAuth would make this a non-issue.
