This community collects stories, cases and situations where people without email are excluded from society.

This also includes people who have an email account but:

are unwilling to share their email address with the other party (e.g. the other party uses gmail or MS)
the other party’s mail server refuses the senders mail server
the other party’s web form falsely rejects a registrant’s email address validity, perhaps due to weird constraints beyond that of email address RFCs.

I wanted to talk to someone at a law firm in a big office building. Accessing the building required badging in. I said to the security staff I wanted to visit a law firm in that building. They said I must register on a touchpad. The form required my name, phone number, and email address, which had red asterisks -- required fields and grayed out button until they were filled. I entered bogus info and got a visitor badge.

Risky move at a law firm 😆 but well played.
