In an effort to cut down on comment spam, I blocked users from registering with gmail.com addresses. I know this seems harsh, but nearly all the spammers hitting my site were using gmail addresses. I did this with the following access rule pattern:

%@gmail.com

Next, I would like to block users with email addresses ending in .ru from registering. I thought this would work but it does not:

%@%.ru

I could look at the code to check the reason, but maybe someone can offer a simple solution instead?

Bump!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Sorry - I just noticed my mistake. I had clicked "host" and not "email".

Boy, as a longtime gmail user for business, university work and personal.... and a lover of gmail!... this is sure sad!
