Can you just give a warning when you put an email in the registration box that you should use real mail, instead of disposable mail?

Just as described in here

This helps to force the user to use his real mail instead of being blocked and left the site without return.

Thanks

Hello. How should the IPS know if the mailbox is real or not?

Similar to this method:

You can set it like this if the admin selects Verify mail address only,

Or you can create another app even if it is paid.

Thanks

But why don't you want to use the plugin from zayed.solutions?

Not planned to be updated, Also, https://www.stopforumspam.com/ is more reliable, or is it not possible to activate this feature through it?

I'm afraid for version 5 we can no longer enter the registration process.

The solution to this will be to put warning words on the registration page stating the automatic ban when using temporary mail, can you include this or create a new application even if it is paid.

Thanks

I downloaded stop forum spam, thank you for providing this. I uploaded it to my V5 Cloud forum in applications, enabled it. I don't see any other settings for it. Is enabling it all I have to do to get it working?

Ok, found the settings and also a potential issue.

I check the boxes for Ip address and email to be checked against the database.

But when I click "save", it unchecks the boxes. So what parameter is being checked after those boxes get unchecked?

Hello. New version is already done! You can upgrade.
