Is there any way to not allow future registrations using hotmail or yahoo?

[kofoid]

My forum is getting spammed regularly by someone using both hotmail and yahoo email accounts. I would like to ban any future registrations that use yahoo or hotmail, but I do not want this banning to affect my current users. Does anyone know of a mod that might work for this? Basically, I don't want to allow people with a free e-mail address to sign up.

just disable the use of those domains for email registrations.

THANKS!

OK so after using this software for 3 years you would think I would know where to find that option! DUUHHHHHHH Can someone point me in the right direction?

Got to your AdminCP > vBulletin Options > User Banning Options > "Banned Email Addresses"

I'm not too sure, but I THINK there's a modification to ban future registrations per email address. I'll have to find it

Ok, I found a couple of them. The second one should fit your needs.....

1.) Email Filter 3.6.X
2.) Spam List: Block 261022 Registration Email Domains

no, just future registrants that try to use those domains. there's also another option that allows/disallows previously registered users to keep those email domains or not.

Allow User to Keep Banned Email Addresses ...

If you ban an email address and a user already uses that address, a problem will occur. Using this option, you can specify whether the user will have to enter a new email address in their profile when they next modify their email address, or whether the user can just keep the email address which you have banned.
