Do you have email confirmation required on?

Spammy registrations would not be able to confirm the email address and thus
would never really get into the system...

> Hi all,
>
> I have a client in 1.0.15...
>
> 1. Registration was allowed
> 2. we were getting lots of fake registrations from the ip of
> churchelo.info
> 3. I blocked their ip from accessing the site
> 4. they kept on doing it
> 5. removed registration
> 6. finally it stopped
>
> Now, I turned it back on this weekend, now she is getting fake
> registrations again, here is a sample:
> Hello The Childrens School of Yoga,
>
> A new User has registered at The Childrens School of Yoga.
> This e-mail contains their details:
>
> Name - TilsOPPOPEsok
> E-mail - unesserty at mail.ru
> Username - TilsOPPOPEsok
>
> Any idea how I can block the new registartions, but allow her legal
> contacts to register via virtuemart (I turned on the 'back end registration'
> through virtuemart, so they aren't using the regular registration page...I
> was hoping that would help.
