Spammers control a domain such as buymyjunk.com and then attempt to register on your site with emails such as irenemwd@foster2.buymyjunk.com and jakemgm@foster7.buymyjunk.com. This plugin simply blocks all registrations using a subdomain. Reputable users will have a normal email address from a reasonable domain like @ gmail.com, @mylegitbusiness.com, @outlook.com, @myschool.edu, etc. There is no configuration and no setup. It simply just works. The plugin logs all blocked registrations so you can find potential false-positives. Find a link to this log file on the Plugins page where you activate/deactivate this plugin. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/59814d06b6a396bdf944e86e3debe871c4d314701fd647755a4602b8de964562? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very Handy Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-handy-plugin-88/)󠁿 [bnhoawebguy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bnhoawebguy/) Ogóst 20, 2020 Has not been updated in quite a while, but thank you Jamie.
