Block Email Address

  • I think it would be a nice option to be able to prevent users from registering with email addresses email host.  Like if I wanted to prevent new users from registering with an email address that ends in gawab.com.  That way their spam accounts aren't even added to my member total...and I don't have to go in and delete them every time.

     

  • You should be able to add the host name to the disallowed names list to prevent it from being used (though I could be wrong). Navigate to http://yourdomain.com/ControlPanel/Tools/ManageDisallowedNames.aspx and add it there.
  • Sounds like a brilliant proposal to me, Jayson! 

    I had to test this myself though, and it doesn't prevent a user from signing in with the disallowed domain in the email address.  Good idea though!

    Looks like a CSModule would be the best solution here.

  • Well, I was trying to keep them from registering with a specific email address...so I'm not sure if that would be different than signing in with it or not (since you might not actually have to enter your email address just to sign in?).  I added "gawab" to the filter, but haven't had it in there long enough to see if it prevents them from registering a new spam account yet.  Either way, yes I think it would be a nice addition.
  • Ok, didn't work.
  • how can i Block Email Address  from windows live hotmail replay to joeljibu@hotmail.com 
  • To block someone on hotmail, just click on options just above where you are going to write your email, than click on mail, than go down until you see junk email block senders.  I did it and what it does is you type in that persons emails and if they send you one you will never see it because it automatically deletes it the minute it is sent.
