## Beschreibung

Email Blocklist helps you keep your WordPress site safe and clean by preventing 
registrations and comments from users with disposable, temporary, or otherwise unwanted
email domains.

Spam registrations and fake accounts often rely on throwaway email addresses. With
Email Blocklist, you can easily stop them at the source. The plugin lets you build
and manage your own custom blocklist of domains to prevent low-quality signups, 
spam comments, and fake interactions.

Unlike many similar plugins, Email Blocklist is completely free and does not rely
on any paid APIs or third-party services. Everything runs directly on your WordPress
installation. No hidden costs, no subscriptions – just a lightweight solution that
does one job and does it well.

This plugin also lets you scan existing users and flag accounts using suspicious
or blocked email domains as potential spam, highlighting them in the user list so
you can easily filter or remove them if needed.

### External Service Usage

This plugin uses a public GitHub repository to fetch a global blocklist.
 One JSON
file contains the list of blocked domains (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/klapaucius4/
email-blocklist/refs/heads/master/blocklist.json), and another holds basic metadata(
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/klapaucius4/email-blocklist/refs/heads/master/
blocklist-meta.json).

The blocklist is downloaded during plugin activation. A daily WP-Cron task checks
for updates,
 and the list is refreshed automatically if a newer version is available.
You can also trigger a manual update from the plugin settings page.

Note: This plugin sends requests to GitHub to fetch the blocklist files.
 By using
this plugin, data is transmitted to GitHub under GitHub’s Terms of Service (https://
docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service) and GitHub 
Privacy Statement (https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-
privacy-statement).

## FAQ

### Does this plugin rely on external APIs?

No. Email Blocklist is fully self-contained and works entirely within your WordPress
installation. No external lookups, no paid services required.

### Is the plugin really free?

Yes – 100% free, with no hidden costs, upsells, or premium versions.

### Can I add my own domains to block?

Absolutely. You can manage your own blocklist in the plugin settings.

### Will it work with other plugins that use email fields?

Yes, Email Blocklist integrates seamlessly with WordPress core registration and 
comments, and should work with most plugins that rely on standard email fields.
