A question about banning email addresses

Most spammers use a certain domain for their email, such as hotmail or aol.com or other temporary addresses. Is it possible to ban or prohibit all email addresses coming from that site when registering at a forum?

You should have access to your spam control panel where you can specify which email domains are prohibited from signing up. And, actually most forums forbid sign ups with temporary email addresses.

Often, temporary email addresses are banned or restricted automatically and filtered out by spam filters on most forum software/mods. This is useful as it keeps people from registering accounts for the sole purpose of spam.

From what I know, you can only ban a specific email address that’s why it is better if you ban the IP instead so it covers the entire access of the spammer. I know that a good spammer can have so many email addresses but the forum staff has the power to ban so it’s a matter of insistence and persistence on both sides of the fence. And the first to blink loses the game. By the way, if it is possible to ban an email domain then that will be a big disadvantage on the part of the forum since any email using that domain cannot enter anymore. Worse, it might have a ripple effect on existing members.

Hello. I want to advise you a very good website where you will find a Google Sheet extension for finding e-mail addresses. Here is the link https://getprospect.com/email-find...on-google-sheets. Go to the site and read the information, I'm sure this is exactly what you need.
