WordPress MU

Hi all,

I've noticed that there's a 'Limited Email Registrations' option in the admin area. How does this work? Does it block all registrations other than those that are in the list?

I need to start blocking certain domains/tld's (specifically anything with .biz in the email address due to every single spam attempt coming from that tld) - is that possible with MU as it stands?

Yup, if you use it, it will block all domains from registering but those in the list.

I need a system to block off domains or IP blocks as well.

Submitting to trac.

I've hacked about a little and have now changed the 'Limited Email Addresses' option so that it blocks the domains specified as I will find that a much more useful option.

If anyone is interested, replace:

=======
$emaildomain = substr( , 1 + strpos( $user_email, '@' ) );
if( in_array( $emaildomain, $limited_email_domains ) == false ) {
$errors->add('user_email', __("Sorry, that email address is not allowed!"));
}
=======

With

=======
foreach($limited_email_domains as $e => $v) {
if (strpos($user_email, $v)) {
$errors->add('user_email', __("Sorry, that email address is banned."));

}
}
=======

In: wp_includes/wpmu_functions.php

Ideally it would be good to have another option, but as I won't be using the limited email address functionality I'm happy just to do this quick fix for now.

Just to note, my code above looks for the 'banned' string across the whole email address - so you could ban every hotmail address just by adding hotmail and it would pick up both com and co.uk. Likewise you can ban a tld by just entering that e.g. .biz or .info

Um, could have sworn we had that option since 719.

So we have. I hadn't realised as I only tend to upgrade with the RC relases!

At least I won't lose functionality when the next RC is out. I was watching the ticket on trac rather than the changelog so didn't realise it was already covered.

Do note though that there was a bug with it that was fixed in 121.
