Hello, i have this function so people can register only with gmail and hotmail, when i try to register it works gr8 but i still see spambots registering under different email domains and bypass this code, any idea how they do it?

function cust_restrict_mail_providers() {

    $authorized_providers = array(
        'gmail.com',
        'hotmail.com'
    );
    $current_provider = preg_replace('/^.*@(.*)$/i', '$1', Params::getParam('s_email'));

    if (!in_array($current_provider, $authorized_providers)) {
        osc_add_flash_error_message( _m('Your current email is not allowed'));
        osc_redirect_to(osc_register_account_url());
    }
}

osc_add_hook('before_user_register', 'cust_restrict_mail_providers');


Code looks OK, but try to put:
exit;
after line:
osc_redirect_to(osc_register_account_url());

Thanks will see if it makes change

I would double check if email field on register page has nane s_email and then I think condition should be !in_array(...

Thanks for your Reply. Now its working. 

I would double check if email field on register page has nane s_email and then I think condition should be !in_array(...

I would just summarize final code.

// restrict particular email domains
function cust_restrict_mail_providers1() {
    $authorized_providers = array(
        'hotmail.com',
        'mail.live.com',
        'live.com',
        'gmail.com'
    );

    $current_provider = preg_replace('/^.*@(.*)$/i', '$1', Params::getParam('s_email'));

    if (in_array($current_provider, $authorized_providers)) {
        osc_add_flash_error_message(_m('Email domain is blocked'));
        osc_redirect_to(osc_register_account_url());
      exit;
    }
}

osc_add_hook('before_user_register', 'cust_restrict_mail_providers1');

// only allow particular email domains
function cust_restrict_mail_providers2() {
    $authorized_providers = array(
        'hotmail.com',
        'mail.live.com',
        'live.com',
        'gmail.com'
    );

    $current_provider = preg_replace('/^.*@(.*)$/i', '$1', Params::getParam('s_email'));

    if (!in_array($current_provider, $authorized_providers)) {
        osc_add_flash_error_message(_m('Email domain is not allowed'));
        osc_redirect_to(osc_register_account_url());
      exit;
    }
}

osc_add_hook('before_user_register', 'cust_restrict_mail_providers2');
