I have somebody on one of my forums that keeps registering using my domain's address.
Like xyz@hcgtv.net, using this as a user and email address. I have to delete about 6 of these a day, just wanted to know if I can stop this from happening.
Thanks.
You are running Linux, so why not use IPFilter and ban his IP?

Because they are coming from different IP's. It's a very strange accurence, mostly annoying.
My proposal is:
Open include/email.php
and replace line 36
if (strlen($email) > 50)with
if ((strlen($email) > 50) || (preg('/@hcgtv.net/') && !preg('/yourname@hcgtv.net/')))where you replace yourname@hcgtv.net with your own email address
Mmm, PunRes seems to have the same issue
Just ban hcgtv.net in the email?
The problem here is that you can ban all "hcgtv.net" addresses but then your own would be blocked as well.
Besides from the little hack I wrote only a more sophisticated whitelist/blacklist system would help.
Except admins can't be banned 
But you can ban any e-mail address domain and it won't affect people that have already registered with a banned e-mail address.

Yes, you can ban the domain but it still let's you register with the domain name.
It shouldn't if you've set "Allow banned e-mail addresses" to no in admin/permissions.

Yes, that did the trick, thanks.
Time to add an FAQ item to the docs.
