[ADDON] Block Disposable Email

This addon allows for the Blocking of Disposable Email  during registration and profile changes.

Block Disposable Email
License
This ElkArte addon is released under a MPL V1.1 license, a copy of it with its provisions is included with the package.

Introduction
This addon prevents people from registering with disposable email addresses (dea) like the ones provided by mailinator (also known as throw-away email, one-time email). It protects your most important asset, your registered user base, by preventing contamination by fake accounts.

Features
o The addon does not contain a list of domains to block, instead it uses the service of http://www.block-disposable-email.com. This is a very accurate free service for up to 200 queries a month. For larger sites several pay plans are available.  Using the service is more accurate and prevents having to do local maintenance of blacklists etc.
o The addon, when activated, prevents both registering with a DEA as well as changing to a DEA (via profile edits)

Sounds good, but is there a chance for a version where can put a list into, as well?
For those that may find email address domains not in the list, or want to block a certain domain?

I second the list request, me and Burke have a very long one that is usually good enough ;D

There are a bunch of blocklists. That would be easy to implement but you should probably take this to another topic.

Why?
This is a question about this addon. This is the right topic to post that in.
We are asking about the chance to have an input field, to add email domains that we find not to be in the blacklists.
In case we get hit by spam bots using a new domain, or something.

No, the addon specifically integrates a service. What you're asking for is a similar effect with a completely different idea. It has nothing similar in implementation; only in effect.

No, what I am asking, is to add a field, to this addon, where people can add other domains to be blocked.
So those email domains also, will be blocked.

So yes, very much same idea.

I have a few ideas on things I may add at some point, but right now this meets my needs.
