Why go through all of this?  Unless an ISP is blacklisted, Bugzilla should be able to register to any e-mail address that meets the RFC standard.  If the ISP is blacklisted, a warning message should display that confirmation messages will not be sent and the account will not be activated.  No need for a new Bugzilla user to wonder.  It may be the ISPs problem if confirmation messages are deleted upon receipt.
The OP should not need to create a second account just to get on Bugzilla only to find that their original account is unacceptable to Bugzilla.  This is what appears to be happening.
