Guest Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hello, I have been having a major problem with email addresses. It seems like many of my customers either accidentally or on purpose type an invalid email address during registration. This results in a huge load of email notifications to bounce back and no way to contact those customers. Is there a way to validate email addresses during registration? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanR Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Yes, in Admin under email options there's an option: Verify e-mail address through a DNS server.

Guest Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Well, the email that is sent to verify your email adress before you are allowed to post in this forum would be a good idea to be implemented. Would that be too difficult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Is there a way to configure osCommerce to send an email during the registration process containing a link that the customer would have to click on it before his registration is completed? That would eliminated accidental or on purpose invalid email address. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeG Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Shouldn't be too hard. Who am I kidding?! I am still working on my store after a solid month. But I agree it would be a nice option and would help eliminate bogus accounts. Perusing other posts I did find this contribution: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1296 It may not be exactly what you were looking for but could help.
