Hello,
I'm getting the following error by using this plugin:

Fatal Error in MailcheckerPlugin.updateList();

syntax error, unexpected ';'
The error occurred on or near: /var/www/html/videohifi/forum/cache/mailchecker/list.php
1: <?php $providerList = ;
Backtrace:

While reading "MailChecker" I thought to myself that this name is so silly, it could have been my plugin, I was surprised to see that I'm in fact the author

This is the code where there are errors:

        // Get main list from GitHub.
        $url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FGRibreau/mailchecker/master/list.json';
        $bareboneList = proxyRequest($url);
        ...
        // Convert to array.
        $list = '<?php $providerList = '.$bareboneList.';';

There is no error handling in there which seems like a bad idea now. I can think of only two reasons why it could fail:
1. You are running your forum in a test environment without internet access
2. You do not have installed the curl extension for PHP

I guess you would know if you are offline, so number two is more probable...

Yesterday, I tried to register a new user, and gave me a fatal error, i realized that the problem was php-curl, after installing it, I also solved the problem with MailChecker

Nice plugin, gj
Thanks you
