Title: What can we do ? if some of registers are fake.
Post by: chongbing on October 24, 2015, 19:56:24

Hi datahell,

Some of users registered from our Elxis CMS. I found that these register's email were fake so i deleted it.
After that we still got new register's emails from Elxis system. Because we configured it as "account activation" by email if users registered.
These emails are send to us again and again, It's kind of annoying. The email content are as below. What can we do to stop that system send an email us if user's are fake ?  Thanks.

You can block spam domains in 2 ways:

1. Administration > Settings > Tab "Users and registration"
Excluded domains = Type a comma separated list of domains from which you wont accept emails during registration.
Example: badsite.com,spamnet.org,etc...

2. Set special rules on Elxis Defender "Custom" file and enable the "C" (Custom) option in Elxis configuration.
includes/libraries/elxis/defender/custom.php
Here is a sample rules that will block a specific email :
array('inmatch', 'rawpost', 'something@example.com', 'Not accepted email'),
To block the whole "example.com":
array('inmatch', 'rawpost', '@example.com', 'Not accepted email'),
