Logging and Notifications
What gets logged
Section titled “What gets logged”When logging is enabled, every blocked attempt records:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| The full address that was attempted | |
| Domain | The extracted domain |
| Source | Which form or integration triggered the block |
| IP address | The visitor IP (proxy-aware) |
| User agent | The browser user agent |
| Timestamp | When the attempt happened |
Activity Logs tab
Section titled “Activity Logs tab”Open Settings > Email Domain Restriction > Activity Logs to review blocked attempts.
- Summary cards show Total Blocked in the last 30 days, the top blocked domain, and the most active source.
- Filters narrow the table by date range, source, and domain.
- Table lists date/time, email, domain, source, and IP address, with pagination at 50 rows per page.
- Export Logs (CSV) downloads the filtered results, including the user agent column.
- Clean Up deletes rows older than the number of days you enter.
Retention and cleanup
Section titled “Retention and cleanup”Set Log Retention (Days) under Settings > Logging and Notifications to any value from 1 to 365 (default 30). A daily cron event (redw_cleanup_logs) removes rows older than the retention period. You can also clean up on demand from the Activity Logs tab.
Email notifications
Section titled “Email notifications”Turn on notifications under Settings > Logging and Notifications to receive an email each time a registration is blocked. The message includes the blocked email, the source, the time, and the IP address, and it is sent to the notification email you set (the site admin email by default).
On high-traffic sites that block many attempts, consider leaving notifications off and reviewing the Activity Logs instead.
