I am getting plastered by spammers.  One laid a bomb on me that caused all mail to all of my domains to stop,  and it took a day to get it all sorted out.

Where it becomes an issue here, is that, 99.9% of the bad guys use an @gmail.com email address, and I'd love to ban the entirety of @gmail, and get rid of the some days 20 and most days "only" 5 spammers trying to get into TrailFinders.

It is costing me more time than I frankly have, with all of the other irons in the fire I have going.  I don't want to dump the site, but I have two choices.  1)  get all of you using an @gmail address to change your profile to some other @address  for free at live.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com  and any number of other free emails addresses  Here's a huge list of free ones  http://www.emailaddresses.com/   2) close this site down.

After I deleted 162 spammers, that I'd already spent time banning...   I found exactly seven of you that were using an @gmail address legitimately,  162 false   

Thanks for the effort, and I hope ya';; take heed to this.

I have alternative emails, what do you want me to change it to?

Anything BUT gmail    and Shelly, too     please.   Plus you can hide an email address, so no one else can see it.  There is a check box to do that. ...

If possible,  I'd like to ban all of gmail.com  It's killing my hope of having time for real things.

Thanks for considering it.
