Blocking Gmail

[kennydee]

I get alot of spam accounts from gmail, so I decided I want to block any accounts with gmail. How do I do this?

[Antechinus]

Set it as a ban trigger in admin. Use *@gmail.com

The downside to that approach is that if someone legit registers with one, they cant.

[Antechinus]

Yes, but I am assuming Kennydee is aware of that and willing to make that trade-off.

stopping registrations using Gmail ??

better think about IP.

What about building an additional sercurity feature. There are many websites out there that report spam IP ADDRESS, what if someone was able to use and cross-refrence from one of those sites that would be a security feature add into SMF.

If a site was to ban gmail addresses then I would refuse to use it.

Out of three email addresses the gmail one is the most used.
