Hi,
How I can disable pasting into email confirmation?
I need to prevent that the user copy & paste the email with errors.
Best regards.

You have to do this with JavaScript. Try this snippet:
document.getElementById("field_conf_29yf4d2").addEventListener('paste', e => e.preventDefault());
document.getElementById("field_conf_29yf4d2").addEventListener('drop', e => e.preventDefault());
document.getElementById("field_conf_29yf4d2").addEventListener('autocomplete', e => e.preventDefault());
I tested this in my development environment. It works for paste and drag and drop. I didn't test autocomplete, but have no reason to believe it won't work.
Change "field_conf_29yf4d2" to the input id of your email confirmation field.

@RobL from the slack group pasted this snippit a few weeks ago related to sending emails to all registered users or a particular access level in wordpress (admin, etc). You may could modify this for sending your e-mails if all of the users are registered on your wordpress and have the same access level:
add_shortcode('notificationtargets', 'getNotificationList');
function getNotificationList($atts) {
$eventType = $atts["eventtype"];
$notificationType = $atts["notificationtype"];
Roberto Alvarez$addresses = array();// fill addresses array ...
$roleArray = array( 'author', 'subscriber' ); // whatever role(s) you want
$users = get_users( array( 'role__in' => $roleArray ) );
foreach ( $users as $user ) {
$addresses[] = $user->user_email;
}
if ($notificationType == "EMAIL") {
$addressCSV = implode(",", $addresses);
return $addressCSV;
}
}

Could you clarify? I am not sure why someone would be pasting in a email notification?
Is not email notification is into the field "email confirmation", the user can copy the wrong email and paste into "email confirmation".
