Go to site administration>users >authentication and turn off (close the eye) of email based self registration. This means then that only people you give accounts to manually can access your site. If you HAVE to let users make accounts themselves with email then on the same page you can choose which email accounts to allow (like for your establishment domain name) and which email accounts to prohibit -often spammers use accounts like gmail for example.
