Prevent new user creation

Is there a function I can add to filter new user applications by email address. I have a bunch of bogus user accounts with mail.ru and cashette.com return addresses that I will I could just deny when they were creating the accounts. Is there a built in way to do this or do I need to make a hack?

In config.php:
(...)
// When user submission is activated, allow users from these domains to
// register without having to go through the submission queue.
$_CONF['allow_domains'] = ''; // e.g. 'mycompany.com,myothercompany.com'
bye, Dirk
Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['usersubmission'] = 0; // 1 = new users must be approved(...)
// When user submission is activated, allow users from these domains to
// register without having to go through the submission queue.
$_CONF['allow_domains'] = ''; // e.g. 'mycompany.com,myothercompany.com'
bye, Dirk

No, that's a whitelist. I want the opposite. I want all users to be automatically approved except for a few blacklisted domains.

Any chance you could add something like this to lib-common.php:
{
if (function_exists('custom_emailblacklist'))
{
if (custom_emailblacklist($email))
{
return FALSE;
}
}
// rest of COM_isEmail continues here.
}
In lib-custom.php a sample custom_emailblacklist would look something like:
function custom_emailblacklist( $email )
{
if (strpos($email, 'somebad.address') !== FALSE or
strpos($email, 'someother.address') !== FALSE or
strpos($email, 'athird.address') !== FALSE)
{
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
That's may off the cuff hack anyway. Move this thread to hacks if you like.

My hack is ugly. Properly done there'd be an array of regexes in something like $_CONF["address_blacklist"] that the funciton would check using preg_match.

Hey guys, I know this is an old post but is there anyway to send an access denied email to the new users that were not approved?

You would probably have to change COM_isEmail to return a reason code for its rejection of an address. Addresses that returned EMAIL_BAD_FORMAT would not receive the above email while addresses that return EMAIL_BANNED_DOMAIN could receive the email.
OTOH, I suspect that sending "sorry your domain is banned" emails will just result in a bunch of bounced messages in your inbox.
While I'm here, this is my current custom_blacklist function:
{
$blocking = Array(
'mail.ru',
'cashette.com',
'yandex.ru',
'ya.ru',
'gold-profits',
'gawab.com'
// I've eliminated the ones with curse words in them
);
foreach ($blocking as $addr) {
if (strpos($email, $addr) !== FALSE) {
COM_accessLog("tried to register $email");
return TRUE;
}
}
return FALSE;
}

And you have to add a call to the custom function in COM_isEmail in lib-common.php as shown in my 3rd post above (dated July 22). This is a hack. 1.4.1b2 has support for something similar to this right in the config.php.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I added this to lib-custom and the call in lib-common and three blocks ceased to function, giving a 'not found' error;
phpblock_gusstats, phpblock_mg_randommedia and phpblock_mg_maenroll.
The first is for the Who's Online custom block, the second and third are from Media Gallery.
I undid it and they are back.
Just seems I can't use it.
