Verify User Email Addresses
 
[align=center]VERIFY USER EMAIL ADDRESSES[/align]

[high]DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON THE INSTALL BUTTON TO RECEIVE UPDATES MADE TO THIS HACK, AND THANKS FOR INSTALLING THIS! :)[/high]

What does this hack do?
  • verifies the email addresses of all your users and checks for invalid or non-existant email addresses
  • displays a list of the users who have an invalid or non-existant email address
How do I install this?

Simply read the instructions in the attached file.

Why would I install this?
  • this hack is extremely useful for finding which member(s) are using bogus (fake) email addresses in their accounts
  • this is good if you want to be able to send out newsletters, etc. to all your members, and so you can make sure that they are using valid email addresses

Bugs, Suggestions, Comments

Got something to say about this particular hack? Then don't hesitate to reply back to this thread, and once I've read your post, I'll post a reply to your particular bug, suggestion, or comment.

Screenshots
admin cp nav panel
begin process page
users have been verified

*NOTE*

This hack will only check the email domain of the users' email addresses, since it is not really possible to verify each and every email address. If you would like to actually check every one of your users' email addresses, then you'll have to send an email out to them, and see which ones bounce.


[high]DOWNLOAD[/high]

This version of this hack only displays the users that have invalid email addresses. Use this for quickly checking which users have invalid/non-existent/no email addresses, instead of version below.
Download instructions-invalid.txt now!

This version of this hack is the same as the above, but it will display ... valid or ... INVALID when checking your members. It's a good idea to use this if you're not sure if the hack locks up after processing a large number of users (so basically, use this version if you have a large number of users).

It depends how many users you have on your forums..
Mine took about 25 seconds with a 512k connection, and I have 176 active members and 253 in total.

Just leave it and wait until it finishes; anyways, it shouldn't take TOO long, although I haven't yet tested it myself on a fairly large board yet.

I've done similar to this, but instead applied it to the 'user prune' page, so you can mass erase those users if need be.

It's funny to see how many users under 'waiting for email verification' have invalid emails. :p

To do as I've done, just find in admin/user.php:
PHP Code:
echo "<tr class='".getrowbg()."' align='center'>
                <td><font size='1'><b>ID</b></font></td>
                <td><font size='1'><b>Username</b></font></td>
                <td><font size='1'><b>Email</b></font></td>
                <td><font size='1'><b>Posts</b></font></td>
                <td><font size='1'><b>Last Visit</b></font></td>
                <td><font size='1'><b>Join Date</b></font></td>
                <td><input type='checkbox' name='allbox' onclick='CheckAll()' title='select/deselect all' checked></td>
            </tr>\n";
            while ($user = $DB_site->fetch_array($users)) { 
And below it place:
PHP Code:
list($username, $maildomain) = split("@", $user['email']);
                      if (!checkdnsrr($maildomain, "MX"))
                   {
                       $user[email] .= "</a> <font color=\"red\">[<b>invalid email</b>]</font>";
                   } 
It would also make sense to apply this MX lookup to the registration page, to kill the problem at the root.

Well, then you might as well just enable the email verification upon registration ;)

thanx :D

d00d i got a suggestion why not make it like when you update counters.

for example

Proccessing user: Wolfe... VALID
Proccessing user: Gary W... VALID
Proccessing user: testuser... NOT VALIED


etc so it shows it doing each member @ a time would give benift to people knowing it has not locked up :D

if you need help with the code i will help you out.

Done. Check the first post in this thread for details :)

Could you attach what you currently have and I'll credit you with the modification :)

Both versions were equally unsuccessful, DNS Error perchance?
