Good idea though it will require a bit of work. You can't just append the correct domain anymore, you actually have to provide a list box of valid domains and let the user choose one.

Not opposed at all, just pointing out some issues involved.

I'd love the patch the version on SF to allow SF email addresses so I can start getting emails from this bloody thing again... (not sure if the patch could be easily made to work with 0.17.5 though)

1. I think it's not a good solution have a variable that can have two types
   i.e. can be a string or an array. Better approach use allways an array.

2. I can't understant this piece of code:

   Only allow and send email to addresses in the given domain

   For example:

   $g_limit_email_domain = 'users.sourceforge.net';

   $g_limit_email_domain = OFF;

What is a valid range for $g_limit_email_domain ?
I dislike OFF,ON and a valid domainname, because ON /OFF (IMO) means boolean
variable. Again why not use g_limit_email_domain="" to say OFF ???

Surely this should be by domain names (regexps ?) in a database table,
rather than having to hack code ?

It only needs to filter email addresses at signup, or whenever the Admin
changes the valid list in Manage Users.

Perhaps a Protected (admin) account could be exempt from this.

If it worked like *nix host name permissions, there could be three lists:
1) explicit list (no pattern matching) of allowed email addresses - this would allow only selected users to join up
2) "domain allow" - users matching the domain names in this list would also be allowed to sign up
3) "domain deny" - users matching the names in this list would be explicitly prevented from signing up

This then gives the possibility to restrict access to explicit users by using 1) and then not allowing anyone else.

Any news about this?
