A suggestion for a feature to check the validity of an email address, if possible. I notice members can sign up on site with an Invalid email address account. Members should not be allowed to sign up with similar email address.

Hello Adden,

Email Validity means when a member/user actually goes to a Email Service Provider site such as Yahoo.com, MSN.com and Google.com and sign up for a Free Email account. This means the email account is now Valid and the member can receive email messages(external) to that account.

But some members are randomly choosing names with @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com and @gmail.com extension to sign up on site as members. This email address is Invalid because the member won't receive external messages. So, i suggest a feature to check the Validity of the email address. What's the point if members can sign up with Invalid Email Address? Then member won't get any Matches alerts, New emails from members, mass mail notifications and so on.....

In other words, there should be a feature that accepts ONLY Valid email address.....

don't you guys use the e-mail verification option to weed out bogus email addresses?

Oh i see what you are talking, David.... I think there should be a Email verification during registration because most members don't bother to click email verification link when system sends it to them.....

See your point Easton.

Did you see such software to check email address validity? Seems it's impossible.
