Blocking Invalid Users

Question

I'm developing an online penny auction system on PHP and MySQL. The problem is that the system gives three bids FREE per signup.

Many people register with invalid email accounts like [email protected] or yopmail.com or any of that.

How I can block these accounts automatic? For now I do it manually, when I see there are more than 3 accounts invalid.

But how could I do it automatic?

Try security.stackexchange.com IMO your only option would be email confirmations. — Ammar, Aug 30 '12 at 16:20
the system validates all the emails... but with those services of disposable emails they can validate those emails — Alexander Milano Manias, Aug 30 '12 at 16:45

During the subscription, when you check the email availability, check also if the email end with one of theses host name:

If it's the case, just explain that theses hostname are forbidden.
