At Customer Registration Or Edit Detail: Check If The User/ Mailbox Really Exist

[serge]

I got a customer registration at blesta with full fake data, including email address,

 

So the "fake" customer ordered 2 free products, and I got 4 ticket auto created by each reply of the mail-server:

 

- Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

 

So at every email sent by blesta, like:

- account registration/confirmation

- service activated

 

Answer from our mail-server "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" is creating/updating support tickect, I such way I have now 4 support tickets that give me with ticket updates 6 email in my admin mail box

 

I had heard blesta do some check for the email address before to accept to save it?

 

But it's seem it's do not check if the user/ mailbox really exist at mail server, because even if the domain have MX record

as in my case, the address was ending with gmail.com and of courses there are MX records for any  fake@gmail.com , but check MX records never say if an email address is good (the user/mail box exist)

 

Using this online tool, I was able to check/confirm the email address do not exist: http://mailtester.com/

Blesta only checks the valid domain... they are planing to send a verify link for resets so maybe add to it to verify account.... but Max has an edit on the forum to verify emails.

Should send an e-mail with verification verification code.

Testing if a mail box exist is not reliable, e.g. will not work if the mail server has grey listing enabled. Nor does it guarantee the e-mail address belongs to the person that signed up.

It is also a requirement when doing domain registrations that you verified the address, at many tlds.

Thanks for the info, by the way, do blesta have option for email address confirmation/validation, I have no found?

 

other,

Because I more think "grey list" mean mail-server at destination will say "re-try later", but if the user/mail box do not exist, it's really an other response and there is no "re-try" done from the mail-server at the origin?
