# Managing blocked email domains

Source: https://docs.arcxp.com/en/products/subscriptions/managing-subscriptions-settings/managing-blocked-email-domains.html

Use the Blocked email domains page in Subscriptions Settings to restrict known bad actor email domains that can create malicious requests to your sites.

## Scenario: Preventing bulk account creation

As a digital administrator for your organization, you want to restrict the creation of bulk accounts from known malicious email domains.

You use the Blocked email domains feature in Subscription settings to create account creation restrictions for different domains, for example, `123.com` or `188.com`.

After adding those domains, users of your sites with email addresses that match `123.com` or `188.com` cannot register or access the system, allowing you to keep your site free of malicious actors.
