Hi,

We’ve just had a user signup via invite and the auto-username generation Discourse does seems to have ignored the reserved usernames setting, i.e. reserve list contains `foobar` but `foobar@domain.com` was invited and the username defaulted to `foobar`. To verify I invited myself with an `admin@` email and indeed even the default reserved usernames are affected too.

1.4.0.beta9
