I saw this example listed as a ban trigger in SMF add new ban
Ban on Email Address (e.g. *@badsite.com)So in the case above all emails that end in @badsite.com would show up on the ban log, correct?
[email protected][email protected]The examples above would all trigger the ban?
I just wanted to make sure the wild card asterisk works like these examples also?
*.ru
*@house
*fake.ixx
All or any part of the email address would be a valid trigger in the examples above?
Thanks
hi, a few times some human spammers go past the questions (last time was last summer).
Have used things like
*@*.ru
*@domain.com
Works fine, hits in the logs, zero harm for real member registrations.
After going through the reg, as a gift, no ban message but "An unknown error occured, please register again" to keep them wasting time trying until bored and vanishing.
SMF does have a few really good anti spam mods on the mod site, these can also help without the need for a ban :)

Just wanted to make sure I was using the wild card correctly
