TheBigK Well-known member Jul 2, 2014 #1 I've been noticing a sudden rise in the spammers using email IDs like: hkf.g.hfhld.fe.ri.rt@gmail.com . Is there any way I can ban such users? Say all the email registrations that have more than 2 'dots' before the @ sign?

Chris D XenForo developer Staff member Jul 2, 2014 #2 There's a chance this might work but I would recommend thoroughly testing it first! Add these to your Banned E-mails list: *.*.*.*@*.* *.*.*.*.*@*.* *.*.*.*.*.*@*.* And so on... Upvote 0 Downvote

Mike XenForo developer Staff member Jul 2, 2014 #6 That would be 2+ - you can see the pattern based on what you want to block. Upvote 0 Downvote
