Forum Banning All New Users
 

I have had a number of members try to register with different email addresses eg

hotmail.com
ntlworld.com
btinternet.com
msn.com

and every time it informs them that their email address is banned, although it shouldn't be.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Regards

Currently running version 3.6.7

Check vboptions > user banning options > banned email addresses > make sure that is blank

We've used that area to ban .ru email addresses and one or two others, but we haven't included the email addresses in the first post or so we thought.

Just been in and checked the settings. One of the email addresses we tried to ban had a space in between @ and gmail.org. We've also got aggressive email banning set to yes.

Would this space have blocked every email address with @ in it ?????????

Yes, it would have.

That's why i tell everyone to use one line for each listing, dont use spaces.

ie...
@mail.ru
@hotmail.com
@gmail.com

Not:
@mail.ru @hotmail.com @gmail.com <-- too easy to miss a mistake if u make one.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I'll
make
sure
I
use
one
line
in
future.
