    Hello,

    Do I have to input individual emails or Is it possible to use something like:

    *.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]@gmail.com

    I want to block emails that you coming in with fraud attempts formatted like (number of letters)[email protected]?

    Thanks

    Hi @seraphim,

    Regex expressions are currently not supported. I can try and add it. But it will be late January until I have some time.

    Do I understand you correctly that you want to block:
    addresses like:

    [email protected]
    [email protected]

    Any number / type of characters followed by . six numbers.

    Kind regards,

    Hi @conschneider,

    Regex would be great. I’m trying to curb a PayPal credit card checking attack which features hundreds of emails formatted in the pattern I mentioned:

    [any_number_of_letters].[six_numbers]@gmail.com

    Regex would allow some flexibility in blocking bots as they seem to be using a recognizable pattern of email generation.

    Thanks.

    Hi @seraphim,

    I have worked on version 1.0.3 of the plugin. This version supports regex values.
    Can I ask you to test this on a staging site and let me know if that works for you?
