If they put fake emails their registration never gets completed because
they can't activate their accounts
. So you can just delete them, they cannot login and they are not problem.
Elxis 4.x has an "
excluded domains
" security option for bad email domains.
Elxis administration > Settings > Users and Registration
Add the email domains you want to exclude from registration comma separated.
Example:
badsite.com,something.ru,hackme.cn
After that Elxis will deny you to register with, e.g., john@badsite.com email.
Tip:
A "bad domain" can be even "gmail.com".
In fact
google is the worst email domain as it is full of spam and fake accounts
. In this forum for example registering with a gmail account is not allowed.
If you don't agree that gmail, hotmail, and similar, sucks, take a look at your self at
stop forum spam
Top 10 e-mail spam domains
1. gmail.com
2. hotmail.com
3. aol.com
4. mail.ru
5. yahoo.com
6. 163.com
7. sina.com
8. new-purse.com
9. yandex.ru
10. yahoo.co.uk
