A guy called Papa Ajoc using email papa_ajoc@xxxx whatever from Nigeria is a hacker or spammer.He registered on my site as papa_ajoc @wholelifedirect.co.uk which sent an email to my root mail with a zip attachment which i believe he was was trying to get me to open it, maybe install some hacking stuff on my site. i deleted him instantly.Next he registered again with a yahoo email and i have deleted him and banned him
I was hacked the other day and had to install everything afresh and i and now very vigilant.
Is it possible that in the next edition of OC we can have a function where when people register with their email address they will be banned from using the website address ie. nobody can use xx@mysite.co.uk?
Cheers

Useless title.....

You can block people by IP address using your htaccess file. But an email ban filter is pretty moot because they could always just make any free email they want
