Those pesky Ruskies are driving me nuts. I get like five or ten signing up to the site every day, and I know they're hackers. I want to block all users who have .ru email addresses. How can I do that? Thanks.

config.php:
Text Formatted Code
// Comma-separated list of domain names that are not allowed for new user
// signups (for all new registrations - not only for the user submission queue)
$_CONF['disallow_domains'] = ''; // e.g. 'somebaddomain.com,anotherbadone.com'

These can actually be regular expressions, so something like
Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['disallow_domains'] = '\.ru$';
should do.

bye, Dirk

Thanks, made the change. Let's see how that goes. I was getting like 20 .ru domains signing up every day. I think my domain must have gotten on somebody's list as being vulnerable to spammers, but even though the holes are plugged, they keep signing up. Unless, of course, there are a whole lot of Russians interested in Panama. Thanks again, Dirk.
