how to handle users using temporary email

the last months i saw that more and more useres register with temporary email accounts such as trashmails.com or similar on my dating portals.
they use a 15minute email-service to register, receive and click the activiation link and a few minutes later the emailaddress is gone - the registration is active, sending a newsletter to the userbase you receive lots of sendmail errors...

what can we do to handle this, any idea? is there a way to not allow special domainnames at the userregistration???

There is nothing native to dolphin I'm aware of that does this. You could either contract a developer to make a custom mod or do what I do & just manually approve profiles (no auto-activation)

place a notice on your join page, that accounts must use an keep a valid email address or the account will be banned and deleted.
