	[b][size=18]Improved Email Check On Registration[/size] [/b] [color=Red]This mod needs Net::DNS to be installed on the server [/color] Languages available: Dutch English German What does it do ? - it checks valid syntax on given email address - it checks if the domain exists given in the address - it checks if the user is known on the given SMTP server - it checks if the smtp server(s) are online and valid - it checks if the users mailbox is full Also it adds a second email field on registration for verification of typing errors. Known restrictions: - Not all mailservers reply the same if a user does not exist and you may be amazed how many stupid domains exists, like hotlmail.com and such, so not every typo will be caught on domain check. Installation: - Upload Mail/CheckUser.pm in Modules and CHMOD the same as other modules there - Apply the mod - Upload the changed Subs.pl, Register.pl, Register.lng History: V1.0 First release

No it is not This mod actually checks if a given email address exists at a server level, so it reduces bouncing faulty mails on mailserver level but if a spammer uses a real address it will validate. The combination of both will minimize bouncing emails on the mailserver filling up the failure queue

Thanks for the quick reply...after more reading and searching on Boardmod...I found the Distill email, and put it in place. I'll let this ride for another week and see if csshette or gawab dongs me. If not, then I'll add your mod on.

ER Basically Distilled Email Domains will give you a tool to prevent users from using dirty domains like cashette and a lot of .ru for registering and posting, but it won't prevent users from making a typo in an allowed email address (which bounces and fills up a mailserver spooler). This mod only checks if the given email address actually exists on the given mailserver by doing a partial fake mailrun to it and see if the mailserver does not give any 5xx SMTP errors back (which indicates there is something wrong with this address).

This is nice! i cant believe i didnt find this b4 now thanks for the mod:) If someone registers with no@there.com the following will happen: 1. the domain "there.com" is checked for validity 2. if the domain exists the mx records are pulled to see if the server(s) are alive. 3. if 1 and 2 pass the user "no" is surrogate e-mailed (without actually sending data) to check if this user exists 4. if 3 passes and the box is not reported invalid or full the address is valid and accepted.
