added qq.com as it seems to be just another variation of qq.my and others already listed

found this post on reddit confirming it as a bad providerd https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/7ow0ap/anyone_else_getting_massive_amounts_of_spam_from/
alongside my own observations of bot behavior from that provider

added qq.com

QQ is one of the most popular email providers in China. Definitely not a burner email provider.

could you explain the amount of [email protected] accounts registering in my website, all acting the same way(even trying password resets at the same time) and the multiple reports of bot activity from accounts that use said e-mail provider?

@peq42 You might be getting spam signups from @qq.com emails, but that doesn't make it a disposable domain. Email accounts from QQ are made of numbers, so all accounts (including valid ones) will look like random numbers.

that is the only domain, ever since I implemented an e-mail provider checker on my website, that still gives me trouble with bots.

a solid 1/10 of my registered accounts were using it and behaving like bots
