Two rules keep false blocks low:

- **Throwaway and undeliverable domains always block.**
- **An unusual-looking name alone can only reach review, never block.** Real names from many languages look unusual, so we never block on the name alone.

If the response has `did_you_mean`, show it to the user: *"Did you mean john@gmail.com?"* You keep a real customer who made a typo.
