Trouble With Phpbb Email

Jul 4 2007, 08:23 PM
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.

    I've been reading through my old php book (PHP 4.1) and came across this data validation class.
    It can check a number of things ranging from telephone numbers , credit card number formats, email
    address and some others. I checked out some of the methods although I didnt expect it to work 100%
    because I've found source code errors thoughout the book and CD. I tested out a few of the
    methods to check and some of them did return expected results but some didnt either so the data

  3. Encode Your Email Address - Confuse the Spam Bots, but not your viewing clients (5)
    Spam bots often 'scrape' pages to glean information and collect email addresses. I don't
    like that. To combat the Bots from collecting my address off of my site, I wrote a script that
    includes 'obscures' the address in several ways. It adds 'AT' where the '@'
    sign is and then replaces the '.' with 'DOT' so it is humanly readable, but not by
    the Bots. Also, it encodes the 'mailto' and the address used in the 'mailto' so it
    shows okay on the web page and on:hover, but it is actually encode into hex value...
