- Automatically deny registration for users with multi-dotted email address

vB Version: 4.2.0

On my forum many bots have multi-dotted email address so I wanted to avoid them to create a new account on my forum.

The way to do this is create a new plugin to recognize these multi-dotted email address provided at time of registration and delete them automatically.

Steps:

Create a new plugin using hook userdata_start

Use this code:

$this->validfields['email'][VF_CODE] = '
    $max_dots = 1;
    if ($retval = $dm->verify_useremail($data))
    {...
