Ability to block submissions based on email address

I was wondering if there is an ability to block email address from submitting a link or even better not allowing them to register?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

A little plugin could do that quite easily (stop them from submitting, or even stop them from registering)

Afraid I don't have time to write anything though at the moment, as up to my eye in work. Will see if I can come up with something at some point.

BTW, are you using Gcomm, or just user.cgi when people signup?

Am just using GLink's user.cgi for user registration.

Hi,

Ok, please try this plugin.

It will stop users from signing up, when their email address matches your rules.

Simply install it, then open the /admin/Plugins/BlockEmailUserSignup.pm file, and find:

Code:
	my @banned_addresses = qw/*@hotmail.com andy.newby@gmail.com/;

You have 2 different options:

1) A simple regex, with * in it - or a real email (i.e a full email address)

Example formats:

Code:
*@gossamer-threads.com 
andy@ultranerds.com 
vishal@somewhere.com 
*.ca

..etc

Thats it =)

(and before Wychwood says that * isn't a valid regex, I've got some regex that changes it to a valid regex format ;))

Cheers

I also found a plugin I wrote a while back (BlockEmails), which does the same thing, but only direct marches (i.e you can only block specific domains, not wildcards)
