Email Confirmation for any created users trying to request membership to a private site won't send and there will be console errors when a user with a 'liferay.qa#@gmail.com' email is saved.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Configure mail settings in the Control Panel > Server Administration > Mail
2. Change the Portal Instances > Mail Domain to 'gmail.com' to match the mail settings from above
3. Create a restricted site (Test Restricted Site)
4. Create a site role (Member Manager)
   • Define permissions for 'Site Administration -> Site -> Assign Members'
5. Add User1 with a receivable email address and assign it to Test Restricted Site
6. Change Test/Joe Bloggs' email to a receivable email address
7. Add User2
8. Add My Sites portlet to homepage
9. Sign in to Portal as User2
10. Request Membership to Test Restricted Site (Available Sites > Test Restricted Site)
11. Sign in to Test/Joe Bloggs' email service (i.e. Gmail)
12. Assert a membership request email was received

At this point, the user is expecting to see a Site Membership Request email, but nothing is sent. Additionally, when a user with a receivable email address is being made - steps 6 & 7 - (right after clicking Save), the following error displays in console:
