    Hi,
    at first thank you for really useful WP plugin!

    I have a problem with “Blocked Email Domains” in Stop Spammers plugin v5.8 – I’m trying to block *@hotmail.com and *@outlook.com, so I put there:

    outlook.com
    hotmail.com

    but this isn’t working at all – I’m receiving lot of registration e-mails from bogus users from hotmail/outlook domains (spambot users are aren’t blocked from registration). Did I put that domains in wrong format, or should I enable some additional option to make this working?

    best regards,
    Lukasz Gromanowski

    I think that the IP address is being added to the good cache and then subsequent hits, all using a different email, are being passed through.

    I get frequent reports that the block email domains isn’t working and I can never reproduce it. Either there is a subtle bug that I can’t find or the passed emails are getting by because they passed the test using a different email with the same IP earlier.

    Another thing to do is add outlook.com and hotmail.com to the Spam Words list. I know this works and it will block hotmail.com wherever it appears in a message. It checks the email, user name, and body.
