I know the forum doesn't allow "free" email addresses. But my domain is (was) hosted at ripplehost. And their POP servers (and most everything else) are down/gone/etc.

I registered with another host, but it will be a while before the domain transfers, and I get everything setup.

Any way to get my gmail address temporarily setup? Just so I can receive my notifications and such?

Did you try setting up your gmail address here? Gmail isn't on the banned list. The ones that are banned are not because of free but because of abuse.

From the FAQ:
"3. If you receive a message saying your E-Mail address is banned, you can contact the forum moderator to question why. Below is a list of E-mail services that were banned due to abuse, and will not be re-activated upon user request.

AOL
Bigfoot
Excite
Gotoworld
Hotmail
Nightmail
Whitehouse
Yahoo
All domains operated by portofevil.com, aka evilemail.com

4. In addition to the above, all of AOL's system is banned from the forums; this includes their IP addresses. This means that even if you sign up with a different E-mail address, you will not be able to post if you connect to the internet using their service."
