Disposable email addresses are usually used by malicious users to +create dummy accounts and spam issues. + +This feature can be activated via the **Application Settings** in the Admin area, +and you have the option of entering the list manually, or uploading a file with +the list. + +The blacklist accepts wildcards, so you can use `*.test.com` to block every +`test.com` subdomain, or `*.io` to block all domains ending in `.io`.
