How do I manually add an email address to the block list?

[Richie (Richie Rich)]

When deleting a user we have the option to also block the email address from signing up / creating an account again in the future:

The list of email addresses which are blocked can be found at https://example.com/admin/logs/screened_emails

Where / how do I manually add an email address to this list?

I don’t think this is possible still using the UI.

There’s this tip for doing it through the rails console, though I haven’t tested it to check it’s up-to-date. Always worth taking a backup first as well when adjusting things in the rails console.

It looks like you can do it from the console. I just tested the following:

./launcher enter app
rails c
ScreenedEmail.create(email: "problem@email.com")

The screened email will show up in your admin interface after that. You can remove it from there if ever necessary.

Confirmed working on latest:

[1] pry(main)> **ScreenedEmail**.create(email: **"**problem@email.com**"**)
=> #<ScreenedEmail:0x00007f74b3200c90
id: **93**,
email: **"**problem@email.com**"** ,
action_type: **1**,
match_count: **0**,
last_match_at: **nil**,
created_at: **Tue**, **07** **May** **2024** **17**:**01**:**10.150557112** **UTC** **+00**:**00**,
updated_at: **Tue**, **07** **May** **2024** **17**:**01**:**10.150557112** **UTC** **+00**:**00**,
ip_address: **nil**>
[2] pry(main)>

And in the UI:
