Serenade Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm looking for a very basic module that will verify a customer's email on checkout signing up, perhaps using this function: https://github.com/hbattat/verifyEmail 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Some mail servers will silentlty reject the test message, to prevent spammers from checking against their users' emails and filter the valid emails, so this function might not work properly with all mail servers. What about http://docs.whmcs.com/Client_Email_Verification 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 What about http://docs.whmcs.com/Client_Email_Verification As far as I can tell, all that setting does is requires the user to accept a verification email. I'm looking for something more along the lines of actually verifying if an email exists, similar to what this tool does: http://verify-email.org/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 from their FAQ: [h=4]3. Are these results accurate?[/h]For some domains you can't verify whether the address is good or not, because their mail servers don't cooperate. As far as I can tell, all that setting does is requires the user to accept a verification email. if they get the verification message it means email address exists, this is what you need right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebsiteIntegrations Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 True, if they are not using a valid email then obviously they will not be able to confirm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 if they get the verification message it means email address exists, this is what you need right? Yes, however I want to catch the fake email before the account is ever created. I limit trials to per IP addresses, and I do not want to mess with that. I can't imagine there are that many false positives with the module, and if there are there has to be another module which works better. Facebook has millions of new signups every day and they employ similar mx checks on emails while signing up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The option to prevent someone from signing up in WHMCS is not available, but you can prevent someone from placing orders in your installation and maybe deactivate/delete their account automatically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 you can prevent someone from placing orders in your installation and maybe deactivate/delete their account automatically. Based on verified email (or not)? How is that done? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Based on verified email (or not)? any How is that done? by writing ActionHook Function(s) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 by writing ActionHook Function(s) I'd assumed that, but since that verification thing does very little was hoping to see something a bit more specific than a vague reference to writing action hooks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'd assumed that, but since that verification thing does very little was hoping to see something a bit more specific than a vague reference to writing action hooks. there is multiple ways to accomplish this using ActionHooks, writing function is based on how do you need it to work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Yes, you said that already. Assuming I'm referring to the email validation I'd already mentioned as a potential trigger, I'll spell it out and say I'd base it on emails not having been validated yet. Based on that, how would you "prevent someone from placing orders in your installation and maybe deactivate/delete their account automatically." as you wrote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsa Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yes, however I want to catch the fake email before the account is ever created.
