banned_email Registration
On our forum, we do not allow people to register using throw-away email accounts, i.e. hotmail.com, etc. We have an extensive list of these type accounts and they are listed in the Admin>Setup>banned_emails section of the Admin panel using the format *emaildomain.com. Today, someone was able to register using an email at yahoo.com which is definately in our list. Up until today we have never had a listed domain work for someone trying to register.

Anyone care to venture a guess on why this person was able to register using a banned email domain?

Thanks in advance.

Nope, when I set up the forum we wanted to eliminate that possibility, so with the help of the folks here we changed the code and now a user can't change his/her primary email address. They have to ask an admin or moderator to do it.
