Description

MailCheck.ai is now UserCheck.com

Please install the new version of this plugin.

MailCheck.ai is a powerful WordPress plugin that prevents disposable or throwaway email addresses from registering or commenting on your site. This helps to protect your site from spam and maintain the quality of your user base.

MailCheck.ai is free to use and starts working immediately after installation. No registration or configuration is required.

Installation

  1. Upload the mailcheck-ai folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

Works Great!

This plugin works great! The service works well, nothing is 100% and won't block all temp emails but it gets updated frequently and new domains are added all the time. I would recommend this plugin for everyone who allows registration on their site.

Simple and effective

No options, light weight and effective addition to combat spam and account creation. And to boot, it seems to work very well on Multisite too!
