Title: Banning email domains like yahoo and hotmail....
Post by: Ride on August 02, 2004, 01:08:54 AM
If I choose to ban free accounts like yahoo and hotmail from everything, if someone tries to signup again they can't.  It still says they are banned.  I noticed this and changed it to only ban from registering.  Now what's to keep them from changing their email to a yahoo or hotmail once they login?  I want to allow members to change email b/c many do need to change it from time to time.  Thanks for any help.

Anybody have a solution to this?  Let me simplify it.  I can prevent people from registering with a banned email domain but I can't prevent them from changing to one once they login.  Someone could register with their aol email and then quickly change it to anything.  If they get banned, they can just sign up again with their same aol email.

In "Edit Features" could you check the "Email new password on email change" field and then add the free domains to the banned email  list?
The forum would then automatically ban the member?

Would it though?  I already have that checked.

Compuart's the person to ask here....

I *believe* that if you ban it twice it should work... probably, it should prevent changing your email to one that is banned, that would make sense...

That would be best posted in Feature Requests.

On this note, how exactly did you do that I was told in another thread to add *@hotmail.com and *@yahoo.com to stop them registering new accounts with these addresses but where do I do this ?
