Banning options

[Reefie]

I have set up some email bans,as they are being used by spammers.However if I add a new ban trigger ie *@*there.com it is accepted into the bans,but people can still sign up using the mails that are banned,any ideas please ?

Instead of    *@*there.com

Try   *@*.blah

And/or    *.*.*.blah

(where blah is the e-mail server you want to block)

Trying a mass ban on a .com or .net would block folk you want to join.

But if there is someone particularly troublesome using a .com or .net it is safer to block them individually anyway.

yeah I added the full stop in the ban list address but still lets the address be used,I also banned all.info's and the same thing,weird

The correct ban trigger is as the sample i.e. Ban on Email Address (e.g. *@badsite.com) IMHO may be this is the reason why your *@*there.com ban doesn't trigger when the [email protected] register. Try and follow the sample. E.g. put *@there.com instead of the one you are using currently.

And, for another check, what is your ban restriction settings? Is it a full ban or partial? If it is partial, have you enabled the Cannot register button?

See if that solve your problem.
