Richieboy and Max both make valid points.

I have it off right now, some people register, don't get their email, then never come back, that sucks.

I have had several spammers register even with all the spam stoppers in place.

But i would like to have legitimate email addresses.

I have heard nothing but good from them, and the specialize in vBulletin set ups, so I would say they are a go, as I told you in PM.

It might shock some to learn that the autospam programs don't even need a valid email account, they get the verification code from the script on pageload after clicking "submit."

You're going to have a zillion bounce backs on these verified, fake email accounts anyway.

This, I very highly doubt. I have secured five sites against spam to date, and none of them have had even one spammer register successfully or post. You're doing it wrong. Go here and read and heed:

The Era of Big Spam is Over.

I use them, running a VPS setup... Cron R1 Hourly backups, ability to restore site to within one hour (if hacked etc), and super-duper support (I work there, with that being said though that sort of makes my feedback biased so best bet is to read reviews!).

The best place to read about the experiences of other vBulletin owners with various hosts is within this forum:

In particular this thread:
