I’m trying to disallow emails from mailinator and other services like it using *@domain.com, but the users with emails from those domains can still login and post, etc. What am I doing wrong here? Doesn’t member management control member’s ability to use the forums too?

I’m still really confused about the whole member integration with forums… seems every time I think I understand it, I don’t.

At core- the member integration boils down to- the same exact member info is used across all elements of EE.  So- one sign up, one login, one set of data per member.

But- I’m not dead sure what’s up on this one- did you add the email w/wildcard to the ‘banned emails’ in ‘Admin- Members and Groups’?  And you want to prevent people from:
a. signing up using said email;
b. something else I suspect….

I see, so that only stops new users from registering an email with that domain, but already registered users aren’t affected. Odd, alright. Thanks Robin.

I am still a little unclear about what you actually did. Did you add those domains to the blacklist? Or what else?

Everything will be good in the end. If it’s not good, it’s not the end.

I added *@domain.com to the Banned Email Address in User Banning

Your other option is to remove those members with that email address or put them in a member group with no access to posting.
