View Full Version : How to validate existing user's email addresses?

I just recently migrated to vB. After sending an email to all 10,000 registered users (the first one in a long time), I found that about half of the messages came back as undeliverable.

To help clean things up, I would like to have one of the criteria for the Prune User operation be whether a user's email address is valid.

One way to approach it would be in two phases -- first, validate user's emails by looking at the address format, domain name validity and SMTP server responses only, rather than relying on having the user click a link. Then, take some action based on the result.

Does anyone know of a mod that will do something like that?
