Ban those spam domain

by

SpamLike anyone else i hate spammers. I guess Scott over Web Professor was having same kind of trouble, most blogger face. Registration from awful, non active and known trouble making domains. No worry Scott just came up with a WordPress plugin to ban domains and email addresses.

After installation you will find a new panel added to in the “Options� administration section called “Registration Blacklist�. Selecting this will show a text box. Simply add domains or full email addresses that host email accounts that you don’t want to be used to register a user account.

For instance I added the “mail.ru� and the “web.de� domains because all the users registered from there were bogus.

Thanks Scott, i needed that and i think a lot of we do need that. I agree with your mail.ru :P, 60% spam come from there. So what you guys waiting for drop in Scott’s site and download the armor you need to fight spam.
