I had this issue as well on my instance. Here's how I fixed it with SQL commands included. TL;DR Turn on CAPTCHAs, don't use email verification (as they will spam the shit out of it), and use SQL commands to ban all of them in one fell swoop.
Yo thanks for this. I'm not rlly good with dbs and was trying to figure out how to mass get ride of some boy accounts. Luckily I noticed B4 it got super bad
Yeah, I heavily modified and expanded upon someone else's query to seek out and destroy more of the accounts. Theirs is basically pattern-matching some of the Gmail-with-numbers spam, but there's a subset using junk@junk with no actual .TLD to try and get people's email verification to bounce. Someone else said that ended up in people getting their email relay account suspended, hence why email verification (at least without CAPTCHAs) is a fairly bad idea. I added a table join and some extra matching to find some of those extra bogus "emails," which typically results in quite a few more accounts being banned. There are two major caveats with my method: 1) it doesn't delete the accounts, which is really just a simple modification to the query to "fix," and 2) it doesn't deal with spam accounts that have no email attached, although those seem to be a fairly small subset of the account spam. I'll see if there is an easier way to deal with those, but getting most banned or deleted is still pretty easy.
