I have a website that is supposed to be limited to our clients only. The account registration is set to verified. However, people should not be using personal E-Mail addresses (ie: gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc).

Is there anyway to ban a list of E-Mail addresses and/or Domains from the registration process, and inform the use that the E-Mail address they entered is not allowed because it's a Personal E-Mail account?

I would try the Email Adress Validation on the User Account Settings tab of the Site Settings.

As I mentioned in my OP, I set the Account Registration to Verified. Having a "valid" E-Mail address is not what I asked about. I specifically asked if there was a way to disallow certain domains because "Personal Accounts" are not allowed.

Right now we have to manually verify each new account created to see if they used a personal E-Mail account, and it's very time-consuming.

Ben,
Matthias is correct. Create/modify the regular expression used to verify whether the e-mail address is valid or not. Enter a regex in the Email Address Validation field to restrict which domains are allowed. If you are limiting to a single domain, it should be a fairly simple regex.

Ah, my apologies then. I understood his post as meaning the "Verified" login type.

The problem with Regular Expressions is that you build it to verify what is acceptable, not what is not acceptable. At least from what I understand about it. I don't know much about Regular Expressions. I need to create a BAN list, not an ALLOWED list.

If using Regular Expressions is the only way, unless someone can direct me to how to design a BAN list, I am not sure it would work for my situation.
