The first two user registrations I've had on my new forum are both using @mail.ru email addresses. Experience with other forums tells me these are probably spam registrations. On the SMF forums I admin I block @mail.ru email addresses from being able to register at all. Is there a way to do this in bbPress? Maybe have them default to Inactive or Blocked depending on the email address used?

This is the plugin to do exactly what you want:

Perfect. Thank you.
Just to make sure I've got it setup right. I've checked the Enable checkbox on top and added *mail.ru in the blacklist box. Whitelist box is empty. Sound correct?

You should make that:
*.mail.ruPosted 2 months ago # -
By adding the period wouldn't that only block stuff from @123.mail.ru, @whateverelse.mail.ru, etc. and not @mail.ru? It's the @mail.ru that seems to be the problem and not subdomains of mail.ru.

Ah, in that case all you need to put there is
mail.ruwithout the asterisk or leading dot.Posted 2 months ago #
