We do something similar when we send mass mailing to prospective
students.

A couple of gotchas...

1. Someone else could use the same email account.
2. The recipient could forward the message to someone else, on purpose
or inadvertently.

You should probably ask for at least one bit of information to tighten
it up a bit.  I think we ask for two bits of information such as last
name and birthdate.  If they get that right, we let them in.  If not, we
show an empty form (since we don't want to turn anyone away).

Subject: Sample Email Based Application Needed

All,

Does anyone know of a CF sample application that might address the
following scenario?

Loop over a table and email users a link to update their i.e. contact
information, then in a form they verify or update their information and
click submit. 

As for security, the link in their email might only be good for a few
days and contain pertinent URL information in an encrypted format. No
login required. 

Is this possible to do relatively securely without forcing users to
login to a web application?

Regards,
-Jim
