    gmail addresses are banned when registering, but are *not* in the ban list

    Re: vBulletin 3.8.4 PL2

    I've had a number of reports from a site that gmail addresses are being rejected when new members try to register. The message they get is:
    The administrator has banned your email address. You will need to change your email address in order to continue. If you think this is done in error, please click here to contact the administrator.
    I've tested and found that any gmail address I try is rejected. Other email domains I tried are accepted. There are no gmail domains or addresses in the email ban list; there are no domains or addresses on the list that contain the 'gmail' string (i.e., loggmail.ru, etc.). I also disabled all plugins, and no change.

    Any idea what's causing this and how to fix it?

    Can you post what you have in your email ban list? Have you tried removing all emails from the list and seeing if you may then register? Then try the first half, then the second half, keep narrowing it down that way.

      hmm... I removed all addresses from the list and was able to register via gmail. Here is an expanded version of the list for easier reading. The actual format of the ban list is:

        Issue resolved. When I posted the above list I realized none of them had the '@' symbol prefixed. Once I did that, all was good. Even with the reinstated addresses that have the string 'gmail' in them.

          Your problem was with "mail.com" It would include "gmail.com"

            I'm not sure. When I put all possible triggers back in the list, including mail.com, there were no problems. The '@' symbol seems to have been the problem.

            But in any case, isn't the filter supposed to NOT choke on the difference between mail.com and gmail.com? From what the instructions say, I would have expected the filter to be more intelligent than that.

              Depends if you have aggressive filtering on. If so, then anything with mail.com in it is nailed as a spam.... so dont ever add just a .com and leave it as aggressive banning. Bye bye all emails (well, most of them anyways!).

                Good point, but I don't have aggressive turned on, forgot to mention that in my opening post. So I dunno.

                  Wow... that is funky then. >.>

                  Hmmm, weird. That being said, now that it's fixed, it's intriguing, but not necessarily critical to work out why the heck it did that. Maybe I'll have a play in my sandbox with it someday....
