Title: Blocking "throw away emails"
Post by: MangosMadMax on May 27, 2013, 03:13:35 PM
Hi,

Is there a mod somewhere that will prevent throw away / one use emails from being registered/used?

You can stick a load of bans in, but you'd have to supply the list yourself - and more likely other providers will turn up anyway.

Thats what I thought. Shame there is no mod for something like that. It would make a nice addition to the reserved names page.

But that's the problem. As soon as a list is compiled, it's already out of date.

Do the addresses have a specific domain?

I might have a mod in store which might be of interest to you.

Oh sweet hell, that's a lot of them :-\

Well, I have a mod which blocks domains from being used, http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3036
Just set the "What to block" setting to "E-mail addresses" and enter the domains. Might be a pain, but it's an option :-\
