Email Domain Moderation & Whitelist

[Alpha1]

XenForo already has an email domain blacklist. I suggest to also add a whitelist. And an admincp option to moderate registrations with new email domains.

1. When a user registers with an unknown email domain, send the registration to moderation.
2. Display the unknown domain in the moderation queue and link it to a google search for the domain. This will allow the admins to find out if the domain is legit or a temp/fake mail.
3. Display an option in the moderation queue to 'Approve & add to the white-list'
4. Display an option in the moderation queue to 'deny and add to blacklist'

I have this functionality on my big board and it works great for keeping out abusive members on fake email. It also catches a lot of spammers that register with their corporate account. i.e. [email protected]

At first it takes a little work to build up a whitelist, but once the whitelist is filled, then a very small fraction of registrations get moderated and its 95% problematic accounts.

Scheduled for the next major version, will need some integration work with the ASN blacklist feature which I've been meaning to make easily accessible via the front-end
