Email verification
Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2006 4:10 am
Hi I have a website that offers a free set of download credits each time a new user registers.
I have set it so that only one account can be opened per email address, however I still find that I am getting users opening mulitple accounts through made up email addresses.
I have found scripts that can verify a domain of an email but this does not prove that this address is real.
Is there a good way to check whether an email address is real and is owned by the user??
I noticed verification emails, how does this process work and does it keep the registration process quick and smooth?
thank you in advance
