[Plugin: Ban Hammer] Block Domain Email Address or Email Address

You can do both. ??

If you put in @yahoo.com, everyone @yahoo.com is blocked, but if you put in [email protected] then you ONLY block foobar ??

Wow, thank you for the great invention. I’m loving it. Thank you!!! ??

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 https://www.ads-software.com/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 [email protected] 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.
