I would like to deploy Discourse at work and we would like to restrict the email domains that can register to the community (for example allow only @mycompany.com emails).

That doesn’t seems possible out of the box.

What is the recommended approach for this ? Is a plugin an appropriate solution ?  
What is the estimated effort for this kind of change ?

Frankly, for my company-internal forum, I just set it up to be invitation only!

Searching admin settings for “domain” shows me these options.. were you looking for something different?
