   I'm looking for a plugin which could block a user email address from 'reregistering' my site. I wonder your plugin could block an email address (example: 123@yahoo.com, 123@gmail.com) or it could only block email addresses from a domain (examples: all email addresses ended with @yahoo.com or @gmail.com).

   Thank you!

   You can do both. :)

   If you put in @yahoo.com, everyone @yahoo.com is blocked, but if you put in foobar@yahoo.com then you ONLY block foobar :)

   I'm searching for a plugin where I can say only allow .edu e-mail addresses to register? Is this possible with your plugin?

   Not directly.

   I mean, you could try to list every possible NON .edu domain but http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-domain-whitelist/ may be more to your liking.

   Okay, thanks for the response! I have User-Domain-Whitelist already, but I wasn't sure if I could simply list '.edu' and not 'blahblah.edu', but this is possible?

   Try it? It looks like it.

   Hi,

   Thanks for putting this together.

   If I put in just "infoblasters" (without quotes) in my discussion blacklist will it prevent something like feb14_123@infoblasters.com from registering? Or do I have to actually put in the full "@infoblasters.com" ?

   Thanks,
   Ron

   Ok, I guess I can answer my own questions:
   1. Yes
   2. No

   This line (73) of ban-hammer.php
   if(stripos($user_email, $blacklist_current) !== false)
   Says that if any part of the blacklist string is included in the registering e-mail address, then it will be rejected.

   Also as you stated in your documentation, the blacklist strings are copied from the comment blacklist strings.

   So... we have to be a bit careful not to put potentially legit domain names in the comment blacklist of words. (I can't think of one off-hand though.)

   And I just tested that on my live site to verify. Nice job ipstenu!

    Watch out for 'parts of words.'

    Like I remember having cialis in my blacklist and specialist got caught.
