Also can people register their university mail via this extension? Does it accept only popular mail services?

fakruzaruret The easiest way to block users is by suspending them (click on their profile, and then using the three dots in the upper right a drop-down will appear where you can suspend them) if you actually need to delete the accounts that would also be done via that same drop down.

A full listing of email providers that are blocked can be found here based on a quick look it appears to be 99% web domains known for heavy spamming. So far in my look I have not found any universities.

As far as locating users by email I do not belive that Flarum has anything built in for that, but you could possibly run an SQL query to find the user and then use their user ID to go to their Flarum URL (which would end up something like https://yourdomain.tld/u/<theirUserID>

tankerkiller125 how can I find them by using their e mail adress? There is no filtering option in forum. I saw mail sending errors when I control my webmail. So I removed those users have fake email adress(I see on webmail) from database by manual. Now, disposable emails extension is enable but it has also negative way. That does not give chance to register with unpopular email services.
