Does restricting allowed email domains block existing users?

I'm tempted to introduce limiting registration to our university domain only, in an attempt to block spam registrations. As stated in the heading, once I restrict the email domain, will current users, with non-university email domains, then be blocked from the site?

Hi David,

As far as I know, the allowed email domains setting in Manage authentication won't restrict current users, only new users.
