New option to block sign-ups by email domain
You can now block new member sign-ups based on their email domain. This is useful if you want to only allow sign-ups with company email addresses.
Block sign-ups by email domain
The following options are provided:
- Automatically block sign-ups that use free email providers such as yahoo, hotmail, and gmail. Over 3,000 domains are included.
- Block sign-ups based on email domains that you specify.
Enable this feature in Admin > Settings > Moderation.
Note that this only applies to new sign-ups. Existing members will not be affected by this setting.
Require approval of sign-ups by email domain
As an alternative to blocking, you can review and approve sign-ups by email domain. When a user signs up with a specified email domain, moderators can review and approve or deny their request.
The following options are provided:
- Require moderator approval of sign-ups using free email providers.
- Require moderator approval of sign-ups using domains that you specify.
Enable this feature in Admin > Settings > Moderation.

All of a sudden, a user was able to register for my community using a GMAIL account. I don't understand how that is possible as I've blocked sign-ups from "free" email providers using this new functionality. When I clicked on "View List" I noticed that there are underscores ('_') in the provider domains and not periods (','). Could this be the problem or do you suspect it is something else?
