Otsikko: Mail Delivery Failed - Receive bounced emails from non actives
Kirjoitti: flyingmembers - maaliskuu 17, 2005, 08:22:32 IP
I'm receiving alot of bounced emails (i.e an email stating "A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed..")

I have Member Activation required, so if a member enters a non functioning email address, I get the bounced emails...

- Is there an automatic way of removing users who enter a non-functioning email address?

- A way of stopping to receive the bounced emails?

Currently, there's no automated way of doing this.  It may be theoretically possible in the future, however.

The main problem is simple; most MTAs (mail servers) don't provide any way to verify email addresses - for reasons of spam.

I think you can use the option that sends them an email with an password to become member. when they use a fake mail adress they ill never show up in the  memberlist.  `corect me if i'm wrong ;)

Sounds good, but how do I do that?  It's not about the memberlist...it's about receiving bounced emails informing me about the fake email accounts...
