Bad Domains
-
Is there a way I can ban domains from sending email through the form? On my website’s registration, I already have yahoo.com and hotmail.com email addresses blocked. I’d like to also block people with those email addresses from sending email through the form.
My issue is not with spam. It’s with crappy service providers. I blocked Yahoo! a few years ago after noticing that Yahoo! has determined my website is a spammer and refuses to send any emails I, personally, or my website (e.g. registration) sends out. What pissed me off is that I have a Yahoo! Mail account. I get TONS of spam in my Inbox AND my Spam folder. So, Yahoo will allow spammers through just fine. Legitimate emails they block and don’t even give the end user the opportunity to see it and decide whether it’s spam or not.
Tonight, a website visitor sent me an email through my regular contact form (which I’m about to disable in lieu of using SimpleSecure full time). I replied and Hotmail returned an email stating my website’s IP address is on their ban list. The fact of the matter is that I don’t send out spam or even have any mailing list. I refuse to cater to corporate banning of innocent IP addresses.
To solve it, I simply ban the domains.
