Request: restrict email during signup

Hi,

I'm looking for any ideas or solutions to restrict email addresses used during user registration (for example, don't allow any email addresses from hotmail.com).

I was thinking perhaps I could use some sort of javascript check when the initial form is being filled out, or perhaps something more thorough such as the check done for account names?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

include/functions.php line 281:
checkEmail($email, $antispam=false) {

Perhaps possible to modify it to return false on *@hotmail.*

dunno how the actual syntax should be, though.

Re: Request: restrict email during signup

wouldn't it be easier to add hotmail.com to the list of email addresses not allowed in "System" -> "Preferences" -> "User Info Settings"
This should do the trick:

xoops.org$|hotmail.com$

Yikes! I totally missed this setting. I remembered the one for usernames, but somehow completely forgot about the other. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

I still don't know why you would restrict xoops.org e-mails tho.. gives me a hard time registering on sites

The $ is part of the regex (regular expression) syntax. In the link above you can find more information on this

p.s. Lykos: that goes for all the other core team members as well We've noted your opinion on this...
