Re-Confirm Email Address

[smstoolbox]

Hello,

I am running 4.0.2. Is there a mod out there which forces existing users to re-confirm their email address when logging on? (just once)

I have many registered users who have non-working email addresses, so something which forces everyone to reconfirm their email address will be perfect.

Anyone have any ideas?

A bigger question is what to do with the ones with bad emails? Easy enough to delete a user with no posts, but sometimes we get birthday bounces from members with several posts. I hate to delete them. Sometimes a PM will work, sometimes not. So even though we know they don;t have a working email, we have no choice but to keep them on anyway.

Thanks.

So is there any mod which enforces the user to update their email address?

I've never seen one. I've seen newsletter mods; maybe they have a function to list bad emails. But I don't see how they could force someone to update an email addy.

Remember, it's standard practice for people to get temporary emails to join sites. If you sent out 100 emails to 100 members and 50 of them bounced back, how could you possibly 'force' those 50 to do anything? If you ban them they can't change their email.

Isn't it enough work to keep on top of bounced birthday messages? In one year this will give you everyone with bad emails. But then as I explained earlier, you have to decide on a case by case basis exactly what you want to do with those accounts. It's tedious.
