Improved Email Check on Registration for YaBB 2.6.0
Version : 1.2
Orginal author: Spikecity
This mod needs Net:
NS to be installed on your server.
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 exist, like hotlmail.com and such, so not every typo will be caught on domain check.
