When I enable CEDIT and try to complete a registration application, I'm getting these error messages.

Registration works with CEDIT disabled

The only thing I can think of that may cause this issue is if your server has problems resolved web-addresses (DNS lookup), or contacting any of the sites used for spam checking. To test if this is the case, please DISABLE all Registration Validator features except for the internal block list (which includes domains, usernames and IPs). If the problem is resolved by doing this, the next step is to try re-enabling each feature that depends upon an external service one at a time.

Services that Registration Validator relies on:
Spamhaus: this is a DNS lookup, so just needs DNS.
Email address validation: also DNS
www.undisposable.net: HTTP request is sent to this site
stopforumspam.com: HTTP request
Botscout: HTTP request

The likely candidates are the services relying on HTTP. Please let me know if the above isolates an issue. I am not having issues, and I had put in some safeguards against sites not being available - however, I can revisit these and update if they are not being effective.

I've just double-checked, and there isn't in fact timeout protection on the HTTP requests.

I have updated the plugin to timeout after a maximum of 5 seconds for HTTP requests, and after testing will release the updated version (1.2.0).

Sounds good.

Attached is v1.2.0. I have tested it myself, and it is working on this site. It has the five second timeout and also a few more disposable domains added (the main disposable providers have all recently been adding domains to their arsenal...).

If you could let me know if this resolves your problem, I will release this on the main page on confirmation.
