Any way to block known spam email domains from registering?

Example @mailabconline.com , @buycialis-usa.com , @mailondandan.com , @vvgmail.com

I have my forum set to admin approval of registrations so I see these obvious spammers all the time. Is there a way to set up a mass block of these email hosts? I use the Bad Behavior mod as well and it doesnt pick up all of them. Neither does Project Honey Pot.

Sure, you can ban them in the ban area.

Hmm... actually... maybe not. That wouldn't prevent them joining, it would stop them doing anything once they had.

I seem to recall there was a mod for it a while ago, can't remember what it's called though.

A list of anti spam mods can be found there. Stop Spammer is a pretty popular one. Sometimes you just have to see what works for you best. :)

Anti spam questions are very useful. The are you human mod is interesting too in my opinion. I always thought it worked nicely.
