We do not want people to log in using throw-away email accounts, i.e. hotmail.com, email.com, etc.

We compiled an extensive list and I placed it in the Template>Setup:User Settings section in the banned_email box. They show up under the Users>Ban List template as:
*@gowebway.com
*@ramlink.net
*@zoomnet.net
*@pipeline.com
*@adoption.com
Of course there are 500 or more in the list.

I just tried to log in using @hotmail.com as the registration email and it let me do it! Have I done something wrong or not set a switch somewhere else?

Thanks in advance for your responses! I'm at wit's end and still trying to go live today.

Yikes! Now I have to remove all those "@"'s. Well, I guess I didn't have anything better to do today!

Thanks

Hi,



But this isn't really a concern is it? If you have email validation turned on, there's no way that @hotmail.com is going to get validated.

Cheers,

We just had a user register and log in using Yahoo ...

I am tearing what little hair I have out in handfulls!

I tried registering using a hotmail account and a mail.com account, both of which are on my list, and I was able to register, validate and log in!

Any thoughts?

I just tried this on my forum, and I did not have the problems you have (i.e. I banned

*hotmail.com

and I was not able to register as foo@hotmail.com.

I just tried to register at mine as foo@hotmail.com and was able to do it. (no, I didn't use tha for my email in the registration, but another hotmail address)

Is It possible I entered this list in the wrong place? I've only seen one place to do it and the User Templete which List Bans and Edit Bans shows the list correctly.

You have to enter the list in "Setup -> User -> banned_email'.


The list bans and edit bans options are something completely different, they are used to ban certain domains/IP addresses from the entire forum. What you want to do is just ban email certain email addresses for people who subscribe. So it might be that you have entered the list in the wrong place. Can you double-check?

Thaks much. It looks like I did enter it in the Users section rather than the Setup template. It looks like it works now!

I hope!
