Hi guys,

I want to know if there is anything you can do for sending confirmation email to your users automatically when they have just regeistered, when the host server does not support SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). ?
Thanks alot.

If SMTP is disabled and POP3 isn't available then the next best thing would be to simply have a good URL CAPTCHA. I can tell you right now email confirmations don't really stop spambots all too well anymore, and phpBB's CAPTCHA sucks, so you're going to have to install a mod if you want to stem any flows of spambots that would come your way.

You can always wait until you get a hosting account here as well. I don't think it will hurt too much after you import your database to here.
