7.10 hotmail email block

I am getting way to many hotmail spam accounts. How do I go about blocking them and other email accounts. I did notice a way for 7.0x but the new version doesn't seem to have the same file structure. Thanks for your help!

Same here... getting about 50 a day. and from some other online loan address as well.

You should be able to change the code up a bit to get that hack to work with 7.1.

If i have some free time later i'll do some testing and report back here.

 exactly I sent a nasty email to the paydayloans.co.uk will see if that helps my guess is it wont. Thanks dolphinjay

I'm getting the same Paydayloan spam sign-ups to. Several per day!

Same here...  Somebody have a fix to stop this? 

Maybe someone could come up with a way to put a human interface on join.php page that asks a series of questions that a bot can't answer. There is a module for this in the market, but $40??

If I was a bit more code savvy, I would give it a try.

Do not contact paydayloans.co.uk directly by email or ever deregister from spam on an email, as they know they have a genuine email address the will sell it on (then you will see real spam):

Contact The ICO instead; they will make them stop,

How to restrict some of email providers on registration works good in 7.1.0

http://www.boonex.com/forums/#topic/How-to-restrict-some-of-email-providers-on-registration.htm

I set this up, but the highlighted line is killing my join.php and nothing happens when you click the "Join Now" button. Any ideas?

Step2.

in administration / builders / profile fields (join form)
edit the email field click on advanced and replace

return (bool) preg_match('/^([a-z0-9+_-.]+)@([a-z0-9+_-.]+)$/i', $arg0);

WITH THIS

return ( ForbidenEmailProvider($arg0) and preg_match('/^([a-z0-9+_-.]+)@([a-z0-9+_-.]+)$/i', $arg0) ); <<---- This one.

Maybe try the one further down the post by zigojacko it works well for me
