BrightspaceQ: Please Explain The Functionality
Hi,
It's not completely clear to me what the app can or cannot do, I wonder if you could explain in more granular detail the different scenarios?
eg.
1) Block: All Spam Listed Custom domain emails, outlook.com/Gmail.com/yahoo.com and all free email providers: Allow: All Non-Spam Listed Custom domain emails? (YES or No?)
2) Block: All Spam Listed Custom domain emails, outlook.com/all free email providers: Allow: Gmail.com/All Non-Spam Listed Custom domain emails? (YES or No?)
3) Geographical Block: by countries or regions (YES or No?)
I dont necessarily need or want more than checking the email field but I am curious, whats the development vision? a can it/will it check more widely (bad words/too many links/spam scoring/ gobbledigook spam nonsense)
thanks

Here's what LeadCop can do for each of your scenarios.
First, a quick clarification: LeadCop checks the email address entered into your forms. It catches fake, throwaway and low-quality signups. It is not a spam-sender reputation database. "Spam-listed" in LeadCop means disposable/temporary email domains (Mailinator, 10minutemail, etc.), plus any domains you add to your own blocklist.
1) Block disposable/spam domains + Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo and all free providers, allow all other custom domains? ✅ YES
Disposable domains are always blocked.
Turn on "Block Free Providers" and Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, Proton, Zoho, GMX, Yandex and similar providers are blocked too. You can set it to block or just warn. Legitimate business domains get through.
2) Block disposable + Outlook and other free providers, but allow Gmail? ⚠️ Partially, with a workaround. The free-provider switch is currently all-or-nothing.
Workaround: leave that switch off and add the providers you don't want (outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com, etc.) to your Custom Blocklist. Gmail stays allowed and the listed ones are blocked.
3) Geographic block by country or region? ❌ Not at the moment. There's no IP/country blocking.
You can block by domain extension (e.g. .ru, .cn, .xyz, .top) with the Blocked TLDs feature, which covers part of this use case.
Development vision: For now we focus on doing email-field validation really well, which is what you said you need. Checking message content (bad words, link counts, content spam scoring) isn't included today. We're collecting feedback on it, and we'll note your interest.
