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
Is there a way to add human verification to this to help reduce the bot initiated bounce backs?
EDT: BTW, working fine for me on 4.2.2... other things are not working (quickreply) but that is not the fault of the addon
EDT2: I would be willing to pay a bounty to get the built in Human verification system working with this addon... anyone else willing to pitch in?
EDT3: I would also love to see a loggin feature similar to the Stop Form Spam addon that lists date/time, email address attempted, and ipadress. That way as people try to use bogus addresses we can ban ip's. I would put this after human verification in priority of features added.

Any help appreciated

This is due to a bot trying to use an email with a apostrophe in it. apparently, this ad-on does not per-qualify emails that well before submitting. I did PM the author and I know he did update.
After the update I have not received any more of these. when you updated the add-on did you remember to check the ove-write box?
