Anti-Spam Options - Verify Email Before Registration

Tested and working in vb 4.2.3

Product Description:

Verify Mail before registration , and during update profile information (changing mail for members from usercp)

This Product:

Stop spam at the first order, it works to prevent the registration with anonymous mails, in order to ensure Forum mail arrives (Newsletters - Subscriptions - Contact members .. etc.), to emails properly and effectively.

no member will be registered , or admitted to the database (both in group waiting activation or any other group), unless the mail is true. As if there was not a failed attempt to register.

What are the anonymous mails?


Are the emails that can not access by its owner, and browsed. Whether it was a mail already exists (used by another person), or not.

As long as no member can or the new Registrar (who wrote this mail), access to the inbox in the mail will be an anonymous mail, and reject his request.


Installation:

Just Import The product from AdminCP.

The product Will begin work as soon as the product installed.

You can manage the product settings from AdminCP > Settings > Options > Verify Mail before registration.

Enjoy

IMPORTANT

If you running Rename register.php by BOP5 you need to edit 2 templates

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=297834

1st search in languages for

$vboptions[bburl]/register.php?so=1&emailcode=$emailcode

Edit register.php to what you renamed as and save

2nd edit in template : reg_ver_start

<form id="registerform" action="register.php" name="register" method="post">

again look for register.php and change to what you renamed

After that all should be good

Note : CSS / FOOTER FIXED !!!

any luck to get this for vb5 ?

[smirkley]

I have a question....

I have my vb instance set for cron emails and metered, and vb automatically sends registration and password request instantly regardless of this setting as a normal process of vb.

Does this mod follow this standard?

Can you Add Captcha ( Image Verification) when someone want to register to stop spamming & sending emails for nothing

Here in This Add Captcha !

no it's happening to me as well. i had to filter my email so i don't get that undeliverable email address.

[smirkley]

Bots like muling vB, I cannot use send email to friend feature for the same reasons.

And if you are getting undeliverable emails returned due to above, or this mod, you must be very careful as your ip and domain may end up on blacklists.

[mikez006]

basically what smirkley said. bots will enter thousands of emails into the form and even though no accounts are created, hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc will see a massive amount of emails being sent by your server and will assume you're spamming. Then you're site and IP will get blacklisted.

This mod needs a good Captcha system on the first step to prevent that type of abuse.

[smirkley]

Or at least a system that conforms with your human verification settings in ACP.

Hello there, This mod is fantastic and was working fine before to restore my sql database. But now I am facing some problem with my DBase. While I am trying to upload this mod, i am getting the following error. Kindly guide me to rectify this error.

Other plugins are working fine.

I have very less technical knowledge to handle this.

Thanks in advance.
