Loved vB's method, so this is nice. Downloaded and imported without a problem in about 3 to 5 minutes total. Did not stop once - Anyone whose import stops has low php setting(s) as often is the case with VPS. I do not encourage registrations except from serious people (tech forum). It may screen out a few serious people, but one can not expect 100% accuracy. Thanks for the file. Very much appreciated!
Actively updated and does the job. If you think this might be useful for you, it definitely is and you should use it.
After trying out various add-ons, this was the only one stopping spambots from daily registering multiple accounts.
Amazing! Lots of spam emails got banned from my forum!
Very quick and easy to import! Thank you for this banned email list ;)

Thank you for considering this resource and for your 5-star rating, best of luck going live!
I've replied to your issue in the Discussion thread, let me know if that solution worked for you.
This was exactly what I needed, I'm getting spammed daily and didn't know what to do. I just ran the import a few times and it all loaded. Thank for this.

Thank you for kindly reviewing my resource @msuccess!
It's good to know that the workaround brute-forcing the import worked OK!
Thank you so much for this. Thanks for putting in all the effort! Really saved me a lot of time on my own site.

I downloaded and installed it on XF2 2.0.7. I finally got all 7.3K banned emails imported but I had to keep importing the xml after it stopped 3 or 4 times, but it finally got them all (I think). I tried creating a few new accounts with some of the bogus emails and the registrations were stopped in their tracks. This is great.

Thank you for describing a workaround to your installation issue Eggnog!

Depending on the server specs, the web server and database configurations, it may be required to re-run the import a few times until all the records are inserted.
The list has grown quite a lot since the initial release and such complications can now be expected.
Reinstalled this with the May 2018 update, and it went through. The 'Unique' warning still showed, but checking the list by date showed a ton from this add on. This is vital, excellent work, and it would be nice if XenForo updates included such ( permanently ) banned lists. Let's face it, a bad email provider doesn't ever become good...

Thank you for updating your review Cleverhouse!
Please check my latest post [1] in the Discussion thread for a way to troubleshoot that error. It should require running a few SQL commands, but it's totally worth it IMO. Feel free to reply there or send me a message by other means if you get stuck at any point.

I would have loved this --- bearing in mind XenForo's inadequacies in this area --- but I got one of those cutsie Oops warnings, which said: 'All banned_email values must be unique.'

I daresay there were addresses already listed in the filter on this old, but new to XenForo, forum; but tolerances should be loose enough to *allow* duplicates instead of stalling the install. No-one is going to manually cross-check 3000 odd addresses with 3000 odd other addresses.

The author is excellent. It is XenForo screwing up.

I remember I had this exact issue with an older XenForo version myself, but I can no longer reproduce it on v2.0.2.
On my installation, any existing banned email records remain unchanged and no error gets returned. Any email that didn't yet exist is also properly created.

If you face this problem on the latest XF2 version and would like me to troubleshoot it, please send me your current list through a private conversation (you can use the Export button to generate the XML file).

Thank you for taking the time to review this resource!

EDIT: XenForo v2.0.3+ got this issue fixed :)
