External services

When Business Email Only or Disposable Email Blocking is enabled, this plugin downloads public domain databases from https://lists.mukto.info/aefe/. These lists are required to identify personal and disposable email providers.

The submitted email address and form contents are never sent to this service. A request is made only to download the domain-list JSON files. As with any web request, the server may receive standard connection information such as the requesting site’s IP address and user agent.

Downloaded lists are stored under wp-content/uploads/aefe/ and refreshed no more than once every seven days. If an update fails, the previous valid local list remains in use.

This service is operated by the plugin author. Privacy policy

Hooks & Filters

Customize validation behavior using these hooks:

// Modify validation error message
add_filter('aefe_validation_error', function($message, $email) {
    return sprintf(__('Error: %s is blocked', 'text-domain'), $email);
}, 10, 2);
