I noticed, that many users sign up using 10-minutes (trash) – mails.
Those mails will be deleted after 10 minutes and are not reachable anymore.
Example: https://10minutemail.com

How can I block those mails for registration?
If a users wants to register with @urhen.com he will get a notificatin like
“No temporary mails please!”

Would something like Ban Hammer do that for you? Theres an updated list of domains to block at https://github.com/wesbos/burner-email-providers

Nice, but how can I make that work on my buddypress?

Ban Hammer is a wordpress plugin. Apologies I should have made that clearer in my original reply.

Hopefully that combination will work for you.

Hi Werny, I made a plugin just for that and you can find it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/validator-pizza/

It uses an API that is always up to date with new disposable domains. So you don’t have to manually update the list yourself.
Let me know if that solves your problem 🙂

My pages uses too many plugins.
I cannot install another one.
Is ther a way to integrate that into Buddypress?
I think this blocker would be helpful for all Buddypress-developer.

Maybe you can use other services like this: https://temporaremail.com . Generally such sites are directly perceived as spam. It is very helpful to find the right one.
