    Hi,

    I have a small feature request which might be easy to implement:

    It would be nice if the plugin checks if the email address is valid upon entry.

    I regularly have fails with users registering something like someone@gmeil.com, and even a few spammers registering from mail2.xyz.com (yes, I could prevent that with email confirmation, true).

    I guess there is even a PHP function that does this: domain_exists(). Could be easy, as you check the registration already against blocked strings?

    Many thanks,
    Claus

    Hi @clausfaber,

    Please check this code snippet, you should be able to adapt it according to your needs.
    Block any registration that does not use @gmail as mail provider

    Thank you for the snippets. They allow a “positive list” of domains that are valid (making all other invalid). The thing I am looking for ist still different: let PHP check if the domain exists. I’ll try to modify the function to check that… Thanks, Claus
