That's a bit perlish ;)
Try this instead, Clayton:
$wgHooks['AbortNewAccount'][] = 'noMailinator';
function noMailinator( $user, &$message ) {
if( !preg_match( '/@(mailinator|binkmail).com$/', $user->getEmail() ) {
$message = 'No mailinator emails, please';
return false;
}
return true;
}
Another option would be the isValidEmailAddr hook.
