Dear bbPress Plugins Users,
We received a user’s ticket, in which he asked us a question: My users told me cannot receive mail notification, then I found many new users using ‘hidetrudomainname.com’ email address in my bbPress forum — everyday, I hope block “hidetrudomainname.com” email address, do you know how can I block new user register depending on the email address used? I think maybe there are more users have the same question, I am happy to reply it in here publicly:
How can I Block Registrations by Email in My bbPress Forum?
It is very easy to use bbPress Email Domain Bad-Words Blacklist Plugin to block user register by email address. After installed bbPress blacklist plugin, you will find Blacklist-Whitelist menu item, please click Blacklist-Whitelist menu and then you will open Email Blacklist Settings panel, it looks like this:

In “Email Blacklist Settings” panel, you just input any email domain name in “email blacklist” option by this way:
#1 Enter one email per line
#2 You can enter email address or email domain or any bad words which should not included in email address
For example:
- “admin@mysite.com” means block this email address, it can not be used to register user in your site
- “mysite.com” means block this email domain, any email address include the word “mysite.com” can not be used to register user in your site
- “sex” means block this word, any email address include the word “sex” can not be used to register user in your site
Then in frontend, when users try to registered as a members of your site, if any bad words or email address / email domains in blacklist be detected in user email address, they will get a error notify “Sorry: Your email address is not allowed in this site” and they can not register as your site members, it looks like this:

Also you can bulk import Spam Email / Domain name / Bad Words Blacklist From CSV into bbPress email blacklist plugin via one click 🙂
Just $5, you will stop spammers registered as members, so spammers can not publish spam in your forum
