    Solved Is "admin" able to be used in an email address during forum join?

    Post by Dogcreek November 26th 2011, 12:40 am

    Hello,

    I have a new member trying to join who says he gets a error on his email addy when registering. I suspect it is because he is using the word admin(at)xyz.com

    Any thoughts or ideas?

    Jeff

    Try to see your inactive members: Go to Administration Panel => Users & Groups => Users => Inactive users.

    No joy on that... Thanks for the idea though..

    could the domain addressing be the issue? admin(at)flytech.se

    I tried to register him and got the same email error...

    Hi,

    The domain isn't the issue. Due to a recent security/spam update, we are no longer able to use common address such as Admin@ , abuse@, help@, ect.

    I'm sorry. TT
