May do what it says, but it only seems to work with registrations via the wordpress
core registration process. If the registration is done via a plugin (I use UtlimateMember),
it does not work.

An excellent and functional plugin. As a suggestion, I would like to see an inverted
list of allowed mail domains, I do not want users using third-party domains, and
not known to anyone, to register on my site. Therefore, it would be easier to enter
a “white” list than fill in a black one. Thanks for the work and great simple, but
at the same time a functional plugin!

I was having exactly the same problem as described. Spammers with .ru extension.
I tried blocking Russian users with Country Blocker to no avail. Ban Hammer instead
is working fine.

лишнего
